Hi Alice, I looked in my Frederick CO VA deed books 1743-1789 and the 1782 Frederick CO VA tax lists and could not find the Rightmire name listed. There is a Rightinour family here 1775-1789 this is the best I can find for now. Also for the Spaid and Cale surname I came up empty for both surnames in my records I just listed. The 1782 Frederick CO VA tax list is devided up into 10 Tax Lists and all appear to be enumerated meaning names found by your ancestor are nieghbors and most likely living on land from a father or Father-in-law. Example dist 8 is the 1782 tax list of Thomas Throckmorton with Joshua COPE listed with 10 white taxables . The Joshua Cope is the son of John & Charity Cope marr. 1721 Bradford, PA. The Quaker Lewis Neil & Lydia Hollingsworth family are living by him and Quaker Richard Regerway/Ridgeway is by him and this Ridgeway may have married Charity Beeson 6.1.1761 Hopewell MM dau. of Edward Beeson and Charity was born 18.1.1741 Hopewell , VA MM record. FYI- go copy or buy the VA Quaker records by William Wade Henshaw to see alot of these early Frederick CO VA families. FYI- One of the DE migration patterns is to cecil CO MD 1710s and later where the Quaker Hollingsworths, Cartmill, Grubb , McKay/McCoy , Perkins and others are listed on deed there 1710s-1750s. The same Hollingsworths, Cartmill, Perkins McKay/McCoy, Grubb ( add Babb and Beeson here ) are on the Frederick CO VA deeds starting in 1743-1758. The Hollingsworth, Cartmill, Perkins , Babb, Grubb , Beeson are listed on the New Castle CO DE deeds . FYI the Perkins and Babbs and Babb related Husseys' of New Castle CO DE are from New England per deed records here and per family history on the internet. These families were Puritans who convirted in New England to Quaker and this religion was sweeping all across America before William Penn came in 1682. Right now I believe there is a Quaker connection between Burlington NJ 1670s Quakers and to Providence , Rhode Island Quakers . David

Hello to the List There has been a discussion on many names lately. I was wondering if anyone that has a copy of the various marriage, deed books could help me. My ggg grandfather Philip Porter b. abt 1754 in VA married Nancy Ann Brent born in Frederick Co, VA at a home called "Winterhill". My cousins and I have searched for over 30 years looking for the parents of Philip Porter. I am not sure but I think he may have married in Frederick Co, abt 1786 as their first child James was born in 1787. If anyone can help me find anything that might connect with Philip, I would certainly appreciate it. NOTE: His name has always been found in the records with one L...... instead of 2 L's in Phillip Thanks in advance for your help in any way or for suggestions.

I am interested in all these New Castle Co., DE connections! Was this a common migration path? I am researching a John Riley, who I was recently told came to Berkeley Co. from New Castle Co.--his (first) wife was Margaret Offaly, presumably married in New Castle Co. (the second was Martha Blade, whom he married in 1796, just a few years before he died in 1801). John's son William was born there around 1759 or 1760 (according to William's Rev. War pension file). I know they were in Berkeley Co. by 1773 (when John bought property there). I've found no evidence that they were Quakers. Though the guardian of John and Martha's son Alexander was Amos Mendenhall, and I believe HE was a Quaker. He was also suretor for Martha's remarriage a year after John's death to James Whitelock. I'd be grateful for any insights concerning these families in particular or the New Castle Co. > Berkeley Co. migration in general!
