According to Wilmer Kerns the fee book for 1744 Frederick County contains a John Wright. If any of you have researched this man I would appreciate a brief summary on him, especially any sons ha may have had. Thanks! Michael E. Wright cyclops@netvalue.net

Seeking any information on Catherine EWE, daughter of a prominent Virginia family. She married Henry MILHORN 22 Sept 1789 in Frederick County. She died abt 1781 in Frederick County. There were no children of this union. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, ------------------------ Michael Anthony Radcliff, Kentucky daath@ne.infi.net

To the OLD FREDERICK COUNTY, VA members of the list: The Frederick County Fee Book signed by the Sheriff, Meredith Helm, dated Jan 17, 1754---- James Wood, Clk of Court provided a list of 502 heads of families, along with fee assessments totaling 66,451 pounds of tobacco. This list is very important to researchers, because it gives a type of "census of families" just before the mass emigration from Frederick County brought about by the French and Indian War. Although these are technically public records, they have been out of the public domain, and "lost" in time for 240 years. I, as an individual, have no plans to publish these rare and valuable records, because they do not belong to me. But, it is my opinion that these records will be published sooner or later by the appropriate and cognizant society, library, agency, or individual, whenever that is determined. This will not occur overnight, but these records are too valuable to remain in seclusion. I will keep you posted with whatever information is available to me. I am aware of the tremendous interest by family and local historians. In the meantime, a few selected data bits are presented below. Female Heads of Households in 1753-1754, followed by assessment fee (tobacco): Mary Alford 30 pounds Elizabeth Buckly 73 pounds Frances Bannister 55 pounds Elizabeth Clemit 40 pounds Ann Cunningham 276 pounds Rebecca Chivers 45 pounds Bridget Connery 55 pounds Elizabeth Dawson 23 pounds Sarah Delaya 40 pounds Elizabeth Dablin(?) 70 pounds Jane Grubb 40 pounds Ann Jasper 130 pounds Sarah Jones 86 pounds Mary Littler 132 pounds Margaret Middleton 40 pounds Martha McDaniel 100 pounds Elizabeth McDaniel 80 pounds Margaret McKee 150 pounds Margaret Murphy 40 pounds Mary McDaniel 55 pounds Providence Mounts 68 pounds Catherine Quinton 73 pounds Catherine Ross 43 pounds Margaret Smith 105 pounds Sarah Thomas 46 pounds Elizabeth Vestall? 55 pounds Sarah Williamson 178 pounds Ann Wood 50 pounds Sarah Wood 246 pounds Margaret Warrin 144 pounds Mary Ann Williamson 55 pounds Elizabeth Warden 40 pounds Two clergymen are listed: The Rev. John Gordon 110 pounds (Gordon also paid 55 pounds as a schoolmaster) The Rev. William Williams 606 pounds Selected names from Cacapon Valleys (it later became Hampshire County): John Arnold 50 pounds David Edwards 51 pounds Henry Enochs 105 pounds Henry Ely 70 pounds Joseph George 101 pounds John House 110 pounds George Horner 55 pounds Jacob Jinkins 135 pounds John Lonam 321 pounds Darby McKever 355 pounds Francis McBride 70 pounds Samuel Pritchard 614 pounds George Parkes 80 pounds Isaiah Phipps 65 pounds Sarah Williamson 170 pounds Elizabeth Warden 40 pounds The largest assessments were: (Alexander) Ross executors 3,116 pounds Thomas Chester 1,250 pounds Thomas Wood 969 pounds Robert Buckles 905 pounds William Russell (2 accounts) 767 pounds Thomas McGuire 726 pounds Thomas Caton 672 pounds Samuel Pritchard 614 pounds Edward Snigers 608 pounds Rev. Wm Williams 606 pounds Helm & Roberts (a firm) 591 pounds Leonard Helm 575 pounds Edward Read 504 pounds John Maddin 468 pounds John Smith 458 pounds John Vance (the cooper) 449 pounds Richard Sherman 437 pounds Robert Worthington 430 pounds Andrew Paul 400 pounds John Brian 400 pounds John Hardin 386 pounds Henry Heath 347 pounds I should add that the Fee Book lists all the ordinary licenses in Old Frederick County during the 1740s and 1750s, plus all the licenses to peddlers, i.e. the travelling merchants who went from door-to-door selling wares. I, for one, am very excited over the information that this book will make available to researchers. Wilmer L. Kerns 4715 North 38th Pplace Arlington, VA 22207-2914

Mike: I just ordered the book last week, and am "PATIENTLY" waiting for it. Thanks for your interest. Betty

An Old Frederick County FEE BOOK lists 338 families living in the County during the year 1744. The rare book, not in circulation at this time, lists fees (in pounds of tobacco) that are owed by each of the families. The Clerk's (Col. James Wood's) notes were given to the sheriff, Thomas Rutherford, to collect from the 338 families a total of 55,018 pounds of tobacco for that year. Tobacco was a medium of exchange. Where did they find that much tobacco? It's as easy to grow money on trees as it is to grow tobacco in most parts of Old Frederick County. What surprises me is the number of women (widows) who headed households during that early year of the County. Here are some of them: Deborah Borden Easther Blackburn Mary Carrington Mary Clark Catherine DeMoss Mary Dunkham Rachel Hood Eliza Hardin Mary Johnson Mary Lum Elizabeth Milbourne Elizabeth Pearson Ann Purteet Mary Ross Catherine Rogers Elizabeth Seamon

The location in my db may be wrong for the marriage (see text below). The couple WAS in South Carolina later but I'll bet this is the right Enoch and the marriage was actually in Frederick Co., VA. I've changed my records. The identity of this Enoch is a little problematical; I'll give you what I have. I have two Enochs Jr who might apply. They were both grandsons of the brothers Edward & Thomas (see end of text below). Both brothers named sons Enoch and both of these 1st cousins married SMITH girls. In the next generation, each cousin Enoch had a son Enoch Jr. The Enoch Jr who married Tabitha JACOCKS is supposedly the son of Enoch PEARSON (1683-1758) & Margaret SMITH (1692-1758; d/o William). This Enoch was the s/o Edward PEARSON (1651-1697) & Sarah BURGES/BURGIS. "Tabitha Jacocks was probably born in Monmouth County, new Jersey about the year 1730. It appears from the few available records that Jonathan Jacocks and his brother David left the home of their father Thomas in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and bought plantations near Winchester, Virginia, probably in the 1730's. This author has secured copies of the will of David, probated December 9, 1746, and the will of Jonathan, probated May 11, 1747. Both documents are recorded in Frederick County, Virginia, Will Book I, 1743 to 1751. Tabitha was one of the main beneficiaries from each of these estates. Jonathan's estate was valued at approximately 200 lbs. and David's at more than 500 lbs. In terms of today's currency the two estates would exceed $75,000. The record of wills in Monmouth County, New Jersey, for the 1730's reveal that the wealthy Stout family made their cousins Thomas and Jonathan Jacocks legatees in their estate. Further research should be conducted on the Stout and Jacocks families. They were of French and English origin, but not Quakers, and were evidently merchants and shippers." --from A GENEALOGY OF SOME OF THE DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS AND EDWARD PEARSON OF COUNTY CHESTER, ENGLAND, AND PENNSYLAVANIA by Eugene L.

Hello, I'm looking for the parents of an Elizabeth WOLF/E born abt 1782. The 1860 census says born in MD, but a county history says PA. She married William JONES in 1800, probably in Fleming Co, KY. William JONES' mother Sarole TOMKINS was from Bucks Co, PA. I've seen a post on another WOLFE family in this list, and wonder if anyone has an Elizabeth born at this time?

Wally, thank you for supplying the Lytle URL.

The spellings I have come in contact with are: D'Albe D'Albey Dalbey Dalby Dolby I am sure there are many others. He was married to Susannah (Harris) and I am told she later married Robert McKee, Sr. After his death she moved to Washington Co. PA with her son Isreal Dalbey, who was a methodist minister.
