I haven't posted anything lately but if anyone finds any information on the Stephens (Stevens) line I would be grateful if you would pass on to me. My Stephens's are from that area and earliest known Stephens I have is James Calvin Stephens born about 1802, had left area by approximately 1848-1849 and moved to Tennessee. He married Mary Manier in Warren County on January 10, 1822. One child was born in Caswell County. James may also have originated or have some ties in Nash County. Thanks for any help.

If you happen to run across the name Tangle or Tangles, please note where. Elizabeth Tangles was married to Thomas Clack in Warren County in 1810. Her Parents were C C Tangles and Mary, both from Gloucester County, VA but residing in Warren in the early 1800s, or so unverified family records state. Thanks.

Parents were not recorded on marriage bonds/certificates before late 1860s. In a message dated 12/29/99 3:24:23 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << If that marriage could be found listed in the marriage books , would it be possible that their parents would be listed there also?

Thanks for your assistance. Yes L. A. is my first cousin but some of his info is not correct although he spent considerable time and effort working on it before his illness. He never could explain where Judkins came from except that it was the name of a nearby family. No Harris ever married a Judkins so I don;t know what he is basing this on. I always thought it might stand for Joseph as that is a family name. Sallie

Hello - [email protected]@king for Richardson family - Warren County - Migrated from Mecklenburg, VA Alma Calvin Richardson b. 1914, d. 1958 - Married to Arthur Hart Brown Alma's father (I was told) Robert Richardson - I believe this is James Robert Richardson married to Magnalena Caudle (spelling ?) they called her Lena. Robert also married Magnalena's sister. Anyone think this sounds familiar? I'll be sending more later. Thanks, Dawn Brown Richardson in Florida

Alex, . I have my ggrandfather's marriage bond but it did not list who his father or mother was or the parents of Jane. If that marriage could be found listed in the marriage books , would it be possible that their parents would be listed there also? That is what I am interested in knowing. Samuel F. Williams and Jane Coley , Oct. 10 1864. (date of marriage bond.) Thank you very much.

Not to worry if you don't have time but John Alderman told me he had found a marriage bond for my Wyatt Smyth(Smith) to Elizabeth Wilks in Warren Co, NC about 1804. He passed away before he was able to do further research. If you look in that direction, fine. Thanks

Bettie, I am visiting my aunt in Macon .... five miles from the Warren County Courthouse. I was there today doing some research on my own line. If you send me some specific lookups you need, I will do my best to find the answers for you tomorrow 29 Dec. I depart for my home in DC tomorrow afternoon. However, I will give you an hour of work at the courthouse if you receive this in time. Alexs

Hi, I would love to know about Nutbush. Was it a creek of some size? My Thomas Henry Rives lived in the area (although I think it was in Granville Co. portion) after he was in Mecklenburg co., Va. but before his removal to Chatham Co., NC where he died. His 2nd wf was Mary Edwards. This would have been about the Rev. war period. Also, what were the Nutbush Papers? Is the map of the Warren Plantations available for viewing on the net? I am also interested to know if Samuel Yeargain, who had over 1,000 acres is noted. His land was primarily on the n. side of the Roanoke River, the wedge which was cut off from Northampton Co. when Warren was erected. His other land was opposite side of the river, Little Stone House Creek. His dau. by 3rd marriage, Sarah Yancey Yeargain, inherited n. side (was still a toddler) in 1785. She m. Thomas Alston later so map could say Thomas Alston plantation, depending upon date. Samuel's dau. by first marriage, Anne, m. Lt. Col. William Alston, son of Joseph John Alston and Elizabeth Chancey of Halifax Co., NC. She inherited Yeargain's Little Stone House Crk. property.
