These records pertain to ABSALOM RAWLS who was first found in NANSEMOND county, VIRGINIA and then moved to or was cut off into BERTIE county, NORTH CAROLINA.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HALL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2UB.2ACI/1830 Message Board Post: In 1750, when Durham HALL, then Mayor, as well as an Alderman of Norfolk County, VA., made his will he owned 300 acres of land in "Brunswick County, VA". Durham must have died in December of that year since his Will was presented and "proved" in the first court of January 18, 1751. His Will did not describe this property other than as being in Brunswick County and containing 300 acres. How he came into ownership of this property remains a mystery. Col. Robert TUCKER and Christopher PERKINS (two of the three Executors named in the Will, the other being a brother, William HALL) advertised the auction sale of this land (by then described as BEING IN LUNENBURG COUNTY) to take place in Williamsburg of 1751. The actual transcription follows "All persons who have any Claim against the Estate of Mr. Durham HALL, late of the Borough of Norfolk, deceased, are forthwith desired to send in their Accounts, properly attested to his Executors, Robert Tucker and Christopher Perkins, of the said Borough: and those that are indebted to the said Estate, are desired by them, to make speedy Payment. Attendance will be given, at Williamsburg, during the General Court. A Tract of Land, about 300 Acres, lying in Lunenburg County, belonging to the said Estate will be sold at public Sale, on Wednesday the 24th Instant, at Ms. Henry Wesberburn's Door, in Williamsburg, where the particular Bounds, (illegible)., of the said Land will then be produced. Also, to be freighted upon moderate Terms, to any of the West India Islands, or elsewhere, the Sloop Harry, belonging to the said Estate, now lying at Norfolk, ready to proceed upon any Voyage that may offer. Robert Tucker Christopher Perkins Executors." The outcome of that sale is not known and the add in the Virginia Gazette stated that the "Meets & Bounds" description would be given before the sale. Thanks to the timing of his death I do not know where this land actually sat. IT may have been in areas much west of present day Lunenburg, or south. He may have acquired this land from through the death of his own, as yet, nameless parents. The size of this tract seems small by the standard of the date. Durham HALL's residence was the "Borough of Norfolk", then the county seat. This very location implies that he was not from Pennsylvania or another colony. He more likely came from Gloucester County or from another shipping area such as Bermuda or Barbados. (The name Leonard Durham HALL does appear in Bermuda later in the century.) The name Robert HALL (not rare) appears regularly in my family and was prominant in Gloucester County, VA. A hint of Durham's status can be extracted from the will which follows. Abstract of Durham HALL's will dated November 14, 1750 from Brief Abstracts of Norfolk County Wills 1710 - 1753, by Charles McIntosh (Book I p. 179, dated Nov. 4, 1750, Proved Jan. 18, 1751) DURHAM HALL of the Borough of Norfolk in the Colony of Virginia Merchant ..... ..... first it is my Will & Desire that the Sloop Molly whereof John Ingram is at present Master, and whereof I am two third Part Owner, as soon as possible after her Arrival here may again be fitted out for the West Indies on freight if possible............It is my Will & Desire that the Sloop Harry whereof John Loyall is at present Master, and whereof I am five twelths Parts Owner.............the Briggantine William lately launched of which I am to hold three Eight parts my Brother William Hall & Capt. James Dickenson to hold the remaining.... ...fitted.... Voyage to Madiera........ to my dearly beloved Wife Jane Hall all my household Furniture ...... to bring up my Children, William, Henry, Durham and Daniel ..... as they come to age.......... appoint my said beloved Wife Jane Hall, my Dearly beloved Brother William Hall my Friends Col. Robert Tucker & Christopher Perkins Executors.......... Witnesses: James Dickenson Archibald Campbell Elizabeth Campbell Durham Hall & Seal Memorandum............Desire that a Tract of Land whc I hold in Brunswick County may be sold by my Exrs likewise a Lott or half of a Lott of Land morgaged(sic) to me by Edwd Hainly may be sold in a like manner. Witnesses: Archibald Campbell Thomas Dickenson her Mary + Hickman mark Durham Hall & Seal There is another known will in Norfolk County that may give insight to the HALL family connections and origins.. There is another will dated Nov. 9, 1722 & Proved Dec. 21, 1722 for "a" Robert Tucker who may be the father of Col. Robt. Tucker above that mentions a parcel of land "in ye possession of Mr. Robt. Hall of the County of Prince George." This suggesta a connection with the two Hall families through the Tuckers of Norfolk County, VA. This Robert Tucker also owned a number of trading vessels. Problems surface with the above since in 1722 Prince George County comprised virtually all of the counties named above plus Dinwiddie and several/many others. Sons named in Durham HALL's Will: William, Henry Durham & Daniel In that order, no daughters were mentioned.

(from BUTE County Land Grant Plats and land Deeds - Holcomb) Durham HALL has other land registered in different parts of the county and eventually got himself sued over a land deal that went bad. He was in Wake County before 1800. He served in a Wake County unit in the revolution as an officer. Durham married a HICKS in 1778 in Brunswick County, VA.On March 16, 1780 Jacob POWELL (brother-in-law of Isaac PIPPIN-the elder thru sister Martha) sold to William ANDREWS 20 acres on the north side of the Tar River. The transaction was witnessed by William HALL and Martin HALL (Bute & Franklin Co. Deeds - Holcomb) Would like to exchange information with anyone who thinks they may connect to this HALL line.
Hello all, I am looking for any information on the family of JOSIAH RAWLS, SR. of BERTIE county, NORTH CAROLINA and his wife FRUSSANAH. JOSIAH was the son of WILLIAM RAWLS & REBECCA DUNNING? and was named in his fathers will from 1772. it appears that WILLIAM was the son or brother of ABSALOM RAWLS although this not proven. ABSALOM RAWLS appears to have been a son of WILLIAM RAWLS son of JOHN RAWLS of NANSEMOND county, VIRGINIA. WILLIAM RAWLS left his will which was probated in September court 1772. He left 1/3 of his estate to his wife REBECCA and the rest as follows: son LEVY RAWLS plantation I bought of HENERY DAWSON, Son JOSIAH RAWLS remaining part od said tract, I have sold to PHILLIP RAWLS part of a parcel of land I bought of JOHN BAKER to the reedy ground. I give to my son JONAH RAWLS the remaing part of this land from JESSE DUNNING'S line to my DAWSON line. son JOAB RAWLS my manor plantation. wife REBECCA my perishable estate, but if she marries she will recieve 1/3 and the other 2/3 shall be paid to my daughter DRUSILER RAWLS and my son HOSEA RAWLS Executors brother PHILLIP RAWLS, Wife REBECCA RAWLS Wit" SAMUEL DUNING, JOHN COOK HENRY RAWLS , brother to WILLIAM, SILAS, MORIAH & PHILLIP RAWLS died between 1772-1780 leaving these children: MARY RAWLS aged 10, ALICE RAWLS aged 8, JAMES RAWLS & EDEY RAWLS aged 6, PHILLIP RAWLS aged 5 and HENRY RAWLS aged 4. it is obvious to me that this HENRY'S wife was named CHARITY and is the sister listed in the will of PHILLIP RAWLS {brother to HENRY & WILLIAM RAWLS} dated 1794 where he left his property - half my land where I now live also cow and calf to JONES RAWLS- son of HENREY RAWLS-mare, bed, cattle, etc. to PHILLIP RAWLS the other half of my land, also cow yearling etc. to ALICE RAWLS cattle, lonning wheel, pewter basin, to my SISTER CHARITY RAWLS- bed, cattle, linning wheel for her lifetime with reversion at her death to EDAH RAWLS. Remaining estate to HENREY RAWLS Executors HENREY RAWLS and PHILIP RAWLS Wit: JOB UMPHLET, WILLIAM MORRIS, JOSIAH RAWLS On the 1790 census there were these RALLS listed REBECCA RALLS 2-0-3-0-0 {widow of WILLIAM} JONAS RALLS 1-2-2-0-0 {son of WILLIAM} JOSIAH RALLS 1-1-2-0-0 {son of WILLIAM?} JOSIAH RALLS 1-4-4-0-0 {Maybe the son of JOSIAH?} JOB RALLS 1-0-0-0-1 {son of WILLIAM} HENRY RALLS 1-2-4-0-0 { Son of HENRY & CHARITY RALLS} JONAS RALLS 1-0-0-0-0 {son of HENRY & CHARITY RALLS} PHILIP RALLS 1-0-4-0-0 { son of HENRY & CHARITY RALLS} LEVY RALLS 1-0-3-0-2 {son of WILLIAM RALLS} REBECCA RALLS 0-3-7-0-0 {Widow of WILLIAM RAWLS?} My question is WHICH JOSIAH RAWLS married FRUSANNAH ? FRUSANNAH RAWLS was living with her son JOSIAH RAWLS in 1850, her age was 89 {born about 1761} her son JOSIAH RAWLS was listed as age 50 {born circa 1800} and her daughter SILVIA HARMON {listed next door with husband PARKER HARMON was age 59 {born circa 1790} In FRUSANNAH'S will proved in NAY term 1858 listed her LIVING children JOSIAH RAWLS, JONAS RAWLS & SILVIA HARMON. Also from HERTFORD county estate records JAMES RAWLS, JONAS RAWLS, JR., JOSIAH RAWLS, JACKSON RAWLS, RANDOLP RAWLS JEREMIAH RAWLS, ABISHA RAWLS, JOHN L. RAWLS, & URIAH RAWLS were mentioned in VARIOUS records in the early 1800's I have info. on these people but some are unidentified. ABISHA RAWLS, JOHN L. RAWLS, JACKSON RAWLS need to be put in the right family group. URIAH RAWLS was from NANSEMOND county as was most likely JEREMIAH RAWLS. JAMES RAWLS married RACHEL BAKER, was he the son of JOSIAH RAWLS, SR? RANDOLPH RAWLS married CRETIA and I have a copy of his will but no children were named. who were his children? he had sons because he left his shotguns to them. any info. is truly appreciated.

Hi, everyone. This message was in my drafts box, so I don't think I ever sent it out. =========== Does anyone speak French. I just received the following message and have know idea what Raymond is saying. Help! Lucy Ruffin Après avoir lu votre message "the pro", je n'ai pas de renseignements sur ce personnage que vous n'ayiez déjà, mais je pense que ce patronyme rare est une déformation du patronyme ancien Ruffinus. J'ai deux pistes qui y font penser avec deux toponymes médiévaux construits à partir de ce patronyme: La Roffin en Haute Loire et La Roffinière dans le Maine. On peut avancer l'hypothèse que cette déformation est apparue dans des régions proches de la frontière linguistique langue d'oïl/langue d'oc. Dans ce cas, William Roffin est peut-être d'une famille venue en Angleterre ou membre d'une famille déjà installée en Flandre flamingante. Nous sommes peut-être devant une déformation du patronyme Ruffin pour des raisons linguistiques ou devant l'arrivée de familles portant le patronyme Roffin et venant du Maine ou de Haute Loire! Si vous le voulez bien, vous pourriez m'informer sur ce que vous savez de William Roffin et je vous signalerai les Roffin présents en Flandre au XVIIème siècle.

His son married Bealie Barmer. In 1880 Eliza Copeland lived next door to Wiley Barmer, Bealie's father. Living with Eliza was Sallie An, daughter and William Early, son-in-law. In Eliza's will dated 1884, she names her children as Sarah A.(Sallie is a nickname for Sarah) Early, Quille Barmer,Matthias Copeland and grandson, John Jarvis Barmer. I am trying find something that connects this Wm.
