Using ancestry, all I can find is an application for the service of Robert Russell, Jr born about 1760 Va and died 1804 Oglethorpe, Ga, SAR #57040. That Robert Russell married Jane Rutherford. It says he was a sgt in the 5th & 9th VA Regiments. Sometimes it gets confusing when there are more than one soldier by the same name in the same state. Do you think that is what happened? where have you looked for information? I believe the SAR may have people who help finishing an application. They can search their own records and those of the DAR.

Try the Library of Virginia website. One problem is that it seems there were more than one Robert Russell, and Nottingham does not give parents for them. One did stay here and die here in the 1840s.

John Sr. was b. bef 1744, son of Edward and Tabitha (Peale) Franklin. His wife was Sarah Purnell. He died in mid-1810. His daughter Tabitha was the Riley. John Jr. was son of John Sr. He moved to Philadelphia around 1800 and died there by 1810. His daughter Tabitha was born c. 1800 in MD and married William Hawn. They lived in Philadelphia. The plain John was possibly the son of William. That John was b. bef. 1759 and alive in 1782. His father's 1777 will said he was "at sea". He married Rhoda bef. 1780. I don't know what became of him or if he had any children. I don't know who the Jno would have been. Based on the rarity of the name Tabitha, I think it most likely the John you're looking for was a grandson of Edward and Tabitha (Peale) Franklin, possibly a son of their sons Peal or Lemuel, as I do not have any knowledge of those sons' children. Gary ---------- Original Message ---------- There were 4 John Franklins in WOR Bogerternorton Hd. in 1800: John Sr. 45+[bef 1755], John Jr. [b1756-1774], John "of Mo" which I think is Jn with the "o" sign for abbrev. [b1775-1784], and a plain John, also 45+. By 1810 there was only 1--45+[bef 1765]. Tabitha Franklin m James Holloway could have been of the plain John.

Thanks Gary. ( I have a lot of that.) Actually among these connected families Tabitha was a common name. I have a new Idea: perhaps Tabitha Franklin Riley m John Holloway after 1810 and was not the mother of his children. I am checking all my sources now to see if the first mention of Tabitha of John Franklin is in those deeds of 1828 and 1829. Then I will look for death records of the children of James searching for the name of their mother.

George, Yes, Abigail Adkins m Henry Holloway of James and Tabitha. And, Hannah Holloway of Joseph was Stanton Adkin's mother. You have this info in your file--thanks for including; I am sure I will find your sources useful. Have you done any research on Tabitha's parents? Bessie Holloway cites 2 deeds that back up her claim that Tabitha's fa was John Franklin, although it was not John Sr. as she stated because we have his will and his Tabitha was Riley in 1810. These 2 deeds are on MdLandRecords--AU f52-55 for Cypress Adventure, 50Acres, 8 Jul 1828 sold by James and wife Tabitha to Joshua Hudson. Tract was next to Bridell's Choice but did not include that tract as Bessie states on p327 of her book. The other deed is AU f326-328 for Spences Lott (Beach and Marsh) or "whatever name it has been called" sold on 13 Feb 1829. James d 1830 (WOR Will). James & presumably Tabitha were m c1780 as there are 2 in his hh in the 1780 Tax List. In1800 Wor census James & wife are 26-44 [b1756-1774]. I est. he was b c1756 and she 10 yrs later. First child Nancy was b c1781, she is16-25 [b1775-1784]; James Holloway did not come by Purnell's Purchase & North Benefit from wife Tabitha; he bought from Thomas Franklin and wife Charlotte Atkinson in 1801 although the Atkinson daus kept selling the land from their grandfa Thomas Purnell to one another and their serial spouses so perhaps there was a family connection with Thomas Franklin. I've toyed with the idea that Tabitha may have been *granddau *of John Franklin Sr. because she was dau of his dau Tabitha Riley who recieved 50 acres of swamp and beach in his 1810 LWT. If that is the case, both deeds cite the wrong relationship. There were 4 John Franklins in WOR Bogerternorton Hd. in 1800: John Sr. 45+[bef 1755], John Jr. [b1756-1774], John "of Mo" which I think is Jn with the "o" sign for abbrev. [b1775-1784], and a plain John, also 45+. By 1810 there was only 1--45+[bef 1765]. Tabitha Franklin m James Holloway could have been of the plain John. Interested in thoughts of all on info above.

Walt, I too find Bessie's book hard to follow but it is an amazing accomplishment , and typed herself before word processors. I've looked at your Ancestry Tree--thanks for pointing it out. I think your speculation on Nancy's line is probably accurate. My Ancestry tree includes Holloways but not all the info I have gathered on this confusing family--all the lines use the same names over and over and they marry other Holloways! I have 6 different Nancys--yours was b. bef dau of Tabitha and James. --Marjorie On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 1:55 PM, Walt and Rene <westresort@roadrunner.com>wrote: > On 10/4/2012 1:00 PM, Marjorie Adams wrote: > > Walt, I forgot to ask: do you have any other info on your "Nancy > Holloway" > > and what is your source for what you have? > > >

They are all posted on Ancestry.com in a public tree entitled West, Lowry, Loxley Bayles and related lines. If you aren't an Ancestry member, I can invite you to view the tree. The known family is Nancy Holloway and her husband James West. They had two sons named James and Ebenezer, as well as three daughters named Polly, Elizabeth and Leah. while I don't have the proof, I believe Nancy traces back through Thomas Holloway and John Holloway. Thomas Holloway's will clearly names two sons, Kendle and Ebenezer, as well as two daughters: Elizabeth and Leah. Bessie's book is confusing in her coverage of this family, stating that Kendle likely had no family, while Ebenezer certainly did. The repetition of names through the generations, however, makes a compelling case for Kendle to be Nancy's father. Nancy and James West named their sons James and Ebenezer, repeating the Ebenezer name. They also repeat the Elizabeth and Leah forenames. When Ebenezer West married Mary Morris West, daughter of my fourth great grandfather Kendle West(another West lines just to confuse things), they produce two sons, with the oldest being Kendle Holloway West and the youngest Ebenezer Holloway West. If the Nancy Holloway line doesn't go back through Thomas Holloway, why would Ebenezer and Mary Morris West name their two sons after Thomas Holloway's sons, with the middle name being Holloway for both?

I have seen the one written by Bessie Holloway but the post I refer to mentioned another Holloway book, the name of which escapes me.

Would anyone know who this George King, wife Nancy is. They bought a 6 acre lot in Brinkleys District, Somerset County - near Marion in 1941 from my great grandmother Anna Louella Stevenson Horsey for only $5.00. I am wondering if this is a distant relation of hers or of her husband, William Cecil Horsey son of John C. Horsey d. 1879. Thanks. Liz
