I think someone asked about Wolf/Woolf etc surname, I deleted the message.....then a I find a reference to Woolf name 1744 in Frederick Co Va. Pls get in touch if interested Mary [email protected]

Would anyone on the list have access to a book of baptismal records of Christ Episcopal Church, Winchester, VA? I understand that there is such a printed book but it is in the archives of Handley Library and cannot be placed on loan. I need to find out if the book shows an index of the baptisms of children of Lydia Jolliffe (Bruce) and James Bruce, circa 1790's and early 1800's. I would like to be certain that their children are in the book before driving to Winchester,VA. Unfortunately two well-known, printed genealogies disagree on the names and dates of Lydia and James' children. The will does not mention their names. Lydia and James were married by the Episcopalian minister, Alex. Balmain. Lydia was disowned by the Quakers for marrying outside Quakerism. If you have the book and can check the index, please send replies to [email protected] Thank you.

Do you have any Catlett s in that book? Phil UPWARD PROJECT Dedicated to improving the state of liberation for the disAbled, while promoting our fundamental interconnectedness......

Hi, Folks, If you were doing a lookup, would you want to do the same one ten times? Please do not ask me to do that. I need more data than just a surname. Thanks for your cooperation. Flo. -- <[email protected]>

I too would be very interested in the book of baptisms performed at Christ Episcopal Church in Winchester. I am searching the BALDWIN and OSBURN surnames in the 1700s and early half of the 1800s. Thanks, Cathy

Hello Flo, I saw your post, and please forgive me for butting in. But I was wondering if there is any chance that there might be reference to a Hiltbrand INABENET (INABNIT, InAEBNIT, INABINET (same name, just different spellings) in this book, "Pioneers of Old Frederick Co., Va. "? He died June, or early July 1764 in Frederick Co. (now Shenandoah Co.) Va. His wife had pre-deceased him a short time earlier, and they left 3 minor sons, John (later married Hannah _____ ), Joseph (later married Barbara "Barbary" PARKERSON, daughter of Joseph PARKERSON and Susanna WATSON) and Jacob (later married Mary PARKERSON, who may have been sister of Barbara). The boys were taken back to Lancaster, Pa., but later returned to Frederick & Shenandoah Co., Va. John died as a young adult, leaving widow Hannah and 2 known minor sons, John and Jacob. John appears to have died before 1802, and unknown whether he had a family or not. Jacob is believed to have married Sarah BAKER. As time passed, the name appears to have also been spelled ABNET, ABNETT and ABNOTT, and possible other variations. If you can check the index and let me know if my family is mentioned, I will surely appreciate your help! If these are not mentioned, are there others of my family mentioned? Thanks so much.

Forwarded by Flo. (I don't remember seeing this posted previously.) ============================================================ - Free Access to the Virginia Marriage Index, 1740-1850 Database Ancestry.com has hundreds of great genealogy databases on their Web site. Most of them are available only to subscribers who pay the "huge" sum of $5.00 a month for access. Actually, it is $60.00 a year, but it sounds better when you say $5.00 a month. Heck, I spend more than that for candy bars each month (I really need to stop doing that). Anyway, Ancestry.com occasionally places one of their databases on the "free side" of the Web site so that potential subscribers can try them out for a bit. That obviously encourages people to sign up for the full package. I was a bit surprised this week to see Ancestry.com place one of their most popular databases on the "free side." Millions of Americans have Virginia ancestry, so this particular database will appeal to many. Here is Ancestry's announcement: Virginia Marriage Index, 1740-1850 Throughout the 18th and well into the 19th Century, Virginia was one of the most populous states in the Union, being home to as many as 1.2 million persons at any one time. This collection of marriage records includes the names of over 300,000 men and women married in the state between 1740 and 1850. In addition to providing the names of bride and groom, researchers will find the date of marriage and county in which the ceremony was performed. For those seeking married ancestors from Virginia, this database can be a valuable source of information. Bibliography: Dodd, Jordan R, et. al. "Early American Marriages: Virginia." Bountiful, UT: Precision Indexing Publishers, 19xx. To search this database, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/3723.htm Remember that the free access is going to be available only for a few more days.

Hi, Liz, There were only two WATSONs in the book: Wiliam & Joseph. The alternate spellings (ABNET,ABNETT,ABNOTT) are not there. Thanks for the kind thoughts. Hope the other lookup helped, anyway.

"Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia" by Cecil O'Dell, Marceline, MO, Walsworth Publishing Co 1995 p390 LITTLE Thomas Little's wife Mary (b. 1716 c., daughter of Jonas Denton, b. 1690 c.) deposed that she was in Orange County, Virginia on the North Fork in the Shenandoah Valley with her husband in 1737.[144] It is probable that Thomas had lived on the 400-acre tract for several years before 1737. He was deceased by 7 February 1748 when his will (dated 4 January 1748) was proved in Frederick county Court. He bequeathed all personal property and the use of the plantation to his wife _________________________ [144] Hite/Fairfax Lawsuit, British Copy, p. 169. p391 [continued from LITTLE, p390] Mary during her natural life. He willed a 400-acre tract adjoining Thomas Gray's land to his son Jonah. The plantation where he lived was to be equally divided between his sons George and John after Mary's death. Thomas appointed Mary and his brother-in-law Capt. John Denton Jr. to serve as executors.[145] Thomas did not have a deed for either 400-acre tract but maintained control of both tracts. His son Jonas/Jonah Denton applied for a survey from Lord Fairfax for his inherited 400 acres (where Thomas originally settled) and it was completed on 18 December 1751. he was issued a Fairfax grant for it on 2 March 1763.[146] This tract is located on U.S. Highway 11 near the north end of Toms Brook, Virginia. Jonas/Jonah and his wife Rebeccah sold 200 acres to Daniel Shaver on 1 July 1763 and the other 200 acres to John Mauk on 2 August 1764.[147] Jonas/Jonah purchased 521 acres from his uncle Benjamin Denton for 30 pounds on 2 February 1756. Two hundred acres of this tract were a gift from his grandfather John/Jonas Denton Sr. (Tract 98E, Map 11) He and his wife Rebeccah sold 24 acres of the 521-acre tract to Christian Luther on 1 July 1763, 132 acres to Helebrand Inenet/Inabnet/Inabet on 7 July 1763, 80 acres to Michael Speagle on 3 May 1768 and 256½ acres to Richard Campbell on 20 December 173. Jonas and Rebeccah moved to Pincastle County, Virginia sometime between the 1768 sale and the 1773 sale.[148] Mary Denton Little was issued a Fairfax grant for 400 acres on 31 July 1750; she and her husband John were living here at the tim eof his death in 1748.[149] (Tract 96C, Map 11 and Tract G 385, Map 11A) This tract is located approximately two miles northwest of Toms Brook, Virginia. Shenandoah County Highway 623 runs along the northwest line from near Toms Brook to the west corner. George Little (Thomas and Mary Little's son) was deceased by 24 March 1770 when his brother John Little filed a claim for the part of the 400-acre tract owned by his mother.[150] Thomas Little of Washington County, Tennessee appointed John tipton Jr. to act as his attorney on 15 February 1795,[151] and to take possession of his one-half moiety of 400 acres from his grandfather Thomas' estate.

Hi, Folks, Please don't think me a grumpy son-of-a-gun. I love to help out, and I don't mind doing lookups in the book. Please do understand that my father-in-law is very ill at the moment; which we expect to end soon. This takes quite a bit of my time, and I may have to be a little slow to answer. I expect to answer inquiries, as long as there aren't too many bushels of them at once. Doing the lookups would get my mind off things, but my time is very limited for a while. I should have explained that from the get-go. Sorry about that, really. Flo. Day -- <[email protected]>

Tommy, are you familiar with Nimrod Ashby (I guess born around 1720??)? What sort of relationship, if you know, did he have with the Brown family of Frederick (and Farquier) Co Va? Did his family migrate from old Frederick down into Farquier? (I found an estate settlement of his in Farquier). My Hampshire Co Va (now WV) Browns appear to belong to the Frederick Co ones but I also find Browns in Farquier related to known allied families (Bryan/Van Hoose/ Rector) of my Hampshire Co ones. I'm trying to picture the migration. Many thanks.
