I have many families in Warren Co but I am missing information, particularly about wives: Zachariah BECKHAM married Martha Knight in 1804. She was a widow, and I cannot discover her family name. They were married in Oxford, but they lived in Warren Co. John EARL and Zebiah SIMS were married 1780 in Warren Co. She was a daughter of Edward SIMS, whose wife (so I have been told) was Elizabeth DUKE. I cannot find any confirmation or identification of her family. Edward SIMS was a son of another Edward SIMS who reportedly married Mary BRUSTER. Again, I can find no further information about her. William JENKINS married Elizabeth FORD before 1760. I cannot find her family. Stephen BECKHAM Jr married (1) Rachel, who died before 1787. Does anyone know her surname and family? Stephen BECKHAM Sr died 1773 in Bute Co. I would like to identify his wife. John BOWDON's wife was named Judith. Many people say she was a Farrar, but I have serious doubt. If anyone can identify Judith's family I will be eternally grateful--but please, don't tell me she was a daughter of William Farrar without documentary evidence that I can verify. A distant cousin, J Walter Allen, seems to have invented this connection and published it widely in reputable publications, such as the William and Mary Quarterly; but he never cited a source in support of this allegation. Judith Farrar, daughter of William, married Jesse Hays (Granville Co marriage bond) when Judith and John BOWDON were already (and still) married. I'll be happy to share information I have on these families. Tom Aiken Virginia Beach
