TODAY IN FLORIDA HISTORY AUGUST 4 1842 The Armed Occupation Act was passed by Congress. Each settler who would settle and cultivate five acres or more of land in eastern and southern Florida for a period of five years would receive 160 acres of land and one year's rations from the Federal government. Settlers were expected also to provide militia service, if needed, to control the activities of the warring Seminole Indians. This was the prelude to the official declaration of the end of the Second Seminole War on August 14, 1842.

Below is for whatever it's worth. I told "White81429" that a Roger Atkinson m. Agnes Poythress (1771-1821) but that Agnes' dates made it entirely possible that this was a late in life marriage for Atkinson or perhaps there was an Atkinson, Jr. "White81429" is a little difficult to talk to....sentences run together and the prose gets cryptic. Roger Atkinson strikes me a something of a land baron. He shows up in just about all of "our" counties at one time or another.

Poythress List Members, I want to remind everyone that an archive of ALL the messages posted to the Poythress list since 1997 can be searched and retrieved at the following web address. This archive even includes the very early messages posted before we were established as a Rootsweb mailing list. Searches must be done on a year by year basis, but can ber as inclusive as you like. Entering 'Poythress' as a key word for the search will likely result in recovery of most every message posted that year. This may prove helpful to new list members and those of us with failing memories :-). http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=POYTHRESS Best, Al Tims

There was an interesting show on PBS several weeks ago in it SECRETS OF THE DEAD series, in which a Virginia doctor presented his reasons for thinking the inhabitants of Jamestown died of arsenic poisoning. Here's the PBS description. The first colonists to leave Britain for America settled in Virginia, full of hope for their new home and dreaming of riches. But after just six months, 80 of the 100 were dead. The perceived wisdom is that they died of malaria or another disease. But, recent exhumations reveal a surprising discovery. The bodies contain high levels of arsenic. Were they poisoned? And could the culprit have been a Catholic intent on stopping the Protestants colonizing the New World? Look for it in reruns or you can by it at PBS, see http://www.shop.pbs.org/cust/cdeploy Coming up in October is another subject for anyone interested in Early American families. The times and dates are for Washington DC. AFRICANS IN AMERICA "The Terrible Transformation (1562-1750)" Monday, October 19, 1998 (8-9:30 pm) This four-part series takes a closer look at the events that transpired in America between 1807 and 1861, and shows the role that the struggle over slavery played in shaping the country. The first episode examines the origins of one of the largest forced human migrations in recorded history. AFRICANS IN AMERICA "Revolution (1750-1805)" Tuesday, October 20, 1998 (8-9:30 pm) In the second episode, the American colonies challenge Britain for independence while American slavery is challenged from within, as men and women fight to define what America will become. AFRICANS IN AMERICA "Brotherly Love (1791-1831)" Wednesday, October 21, 1998 (8-9:30 pm) The third episode explores the first 50 years of the new nation and the expansion of slavery into America's western frontier. AFRICANS IN AMERICA "Judgment Day (1831-1861)" Thursday, October 22, 1998 (8-9:30 pm) The final episode looks at how, as the nation expanded westward, slavery became the most divisive issue in American life.

Sally, going by memory only, I don't think I've entered that Robert Poythress & Tabitha Poythress family in my database yet. Having to go by memory though, because after sending out my messages on Friday night, my computer had another major failure & my database is now being rebuilt, again. I am borrowing another computer to look at my mail, but my database is totally inaccessible right now & for the foreseeable future. & sorry I can't help with the Randolphs. If you have not checked the List Archives, you should. Barbara Poythress Neal = = = From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2001 03:58:51 EDT Subject: Re: Martha J. Poythress (Neal) To: [email protected] Barbara, what, if anything, can you tell me re: Robert Poythress, father of Tabitha Poythress, born 1725, who married Henry Randolph IV.

Barb, sorry about that one. I'll make the comparison and get us a "net" wanted list. Thanks, Maynard

Maynard & Bruce, & all (& with a welcome back to Al Tims, by the way), Per earlier messages this year, allow me to refresh your memory that Craig has already copied in late March some of the Mecklenburg Co cases & I've begun working on transcribing them, though granted not with the speed that any of us would wish. I have been away on trips & completely unavailable for working on genealogy much of this summer, & then to add insult, I had a major computer failure several weeks ago. The ones that Craig looked for may or may not be *all* of the same ones that you listed in your message of 7/17 Maynard (I can't tell since your message spaced-out so strangely that I cannot easity read it), but they are the ones that Lyn P Baird & I mentioned in our messages of 2/20/01 (pertinent portions listing them copied below). Hope to get back to the transcribing very soon. Barbara Poythress Neal = = = = = First, copied from my 2/20/01 message to the List; below that is Lyn P Baird's message of earlier that day. I have none of the indicated documents & would love to have copies of all of them. Craig, if you can indeed obtain photocopies while you are at LVA for the March 19th meeting, I would be happy to reimburse you for the costs of obtaining them (unless you wish to keep said copies, yourself) & then I'll be glad to abstract/transcribe them for us all. I can also offer the following observations after comparing the names & time periods, to notes re Mecklenburg Co Deed Indexes and to Wills that we have seen previously: 1) re Index Number 1808-008 re Plaintiffs Joshua Smith etc & Defendants Hutchins Ferrell, which includes Poythress in the list of surnames: I did not find the names Smith, Hutchins, or Ferrell in any items that had "Poythress" (& variant spellings) in the Deed Indexes. The Hutchins name seems very familiar to me & I cannot place why. Also I am interested to see what tie-in the Smith name brings, since the late Betty Lawrence (of Meridian, Mississippi) had mentioned some Smith connection in her Poythress stuff years ago. 2) re Index Number 1820-012 re Plaintiff Lewis Poythress & Defendants Edward Giles, Admr Etc, which includes Potress and Poythress in the list of surnames along with Bassey, Giles, & Nance. In the Deed Indexes, I don't see these various other names associated with any Poythress items. However, we have previously seen the Mecklenburg Will signed on 10 March 1818 by Edward Giles, which I will re-post tonight as an email. This chancery suit might have been filed as a result of part of that Will's provisions, by Lewis Poythress against the Administrator of Edward Giles estate. 3) re Index Number 1858-015 CC re Plaintiffs Jones Etc & Defendants Admr of Harwell Etc, which includes surnames Bracey, Childress, Griffin, Harwell, Jones, King, Pennington, Poythress, Puryear, Smith, & Wall: In the Deed Indexes, I see that in June of 1836 there was a Mecklenburg Deed between Grantors Grief Harwell etal and Grantee Lewis Poythress, listed as being in Deed Book 16, beginning on p.230. This chancery suit might have been filed as a result of something about that transaction. 4) re Index Number 1867-027 CC re Plaintiffs Everett King & Defendants Mansfield R. Seymour Etc, which includes surnames Boyd, King, Poythress, & Seymour: In the Deed Indexes, I don't see these various other names associated with any Poythress items. I note, however, that the King name here may be related to the King name in #3 above, and may furnish further info from the same earlier tie-in. 5) re Index Number 1880-030 CC re Plaintiffs William L Portress/Poythress & Defendants Exr of Nancy Thomas, which includes numerous surnames including Boyd & Thomas. In the Deed Indexes, I don't see these various other names associated with any Poythress items. I note, however, that the Boyd name here may be related to the Boyd name in #4 above, and may furnish further info from the same earlier tie-in, as well as being interesting due to Lyn's earlier info re Nancy Thomas & Lucy Thomas Poythress. 6) re Index Number 1889-007 CC re Plaintiffs R P Cleaton & Defendants Harriet Thomas Etc, which includes surnames Cleaton, Poythress, Rainey, & Thomas: In the Deed Indexes, I see that in 1797 there was a Mecklenburg Deed between Grantor John Cleaton & Grantee Lewis Poythress (DB 10, p.62) and a 1799 Dower Release between Grantor Martha Cleaton & Grantee Lewis Poythress (DB10, p.96). And I note that, more likely, the Thomas name here may be related to the Thomas name in #5 & #6 above, and may furnish further info from the same earlier tie-ins. All of these should assist us in our research. Thanks, Lyn, for posting the chancery index Poythress entries that you found.

Congratulations, Pat, on finding your Martha J. Poythress' marriage license for marriage to Edward Neal in Greenville Co, VA on 12 Mar 1880. That is not a marriage I knew about before, and I likewise did not previously know of the 6 Oct 1873 one for James H. Poythress & Eliza Spencer, or any others from Greenville Co, so I do indeed look forward to any posting of others. My accumulated Poythress data only has one slim possibility for help on the William Poythress who fathered at least the above James H & maybe also the Martha J, along with mother Julia: From emails back in early 1999, which I am sure were to the Poythress List, I had entered the marriage of James R. Portis/Poythress to Sarah Crowder in (not distant) Northampton Co, NC on 13 January 1827, along with a list of their children. The 2nd child was a William, about whom no further info was given. The emails I noted were on 2/3/99 from Jean Poythress Spille (now Jean Poythress) and on 3/29/99 from Lynn Poythress. They would've had to have had son William pretty quickly in order for their William to be father of James H & Julia. Seems like we had some messages about Poythresses in one or more censuses in Greenville Co, Va, at some point, too, so you may want to check the Poythress-List Archives for that info, too. Good luck on finding further information on your ancestor - Barbara Poythress Neal

I found her !I found her! I found her! I'm thrilled!! Finally went to Emporia, Greenville County, VA My Martha J. Poythress was married on March 12th 1880 to Edward Neal in Greenville Co, VA. The marriage certificate indicates that she was the daughter of Julia Poythress. I also found an Oct 6 1873 marriage license there for James H. Poythress & Eliza Spencer which indicates his parents were William Poythress and wife Julia. The license indicates that there was "no return of this marriage" by minister. I did find a few other marriages there that I'll see about posting to Poythress Email in case someone needs the info. Finally, after 3 years, some headway. Unlike the story I was told that she came over after a potato famine, her marriage certificate states that she was born in Greenville county. Does anyone on the list recognize William Poythress and wife Julia of Greenville Co VA in the mid 1800s? Daughter Martha's marriage certificate indicates that she would have born in 1858 - 22 years old when married March 1880. Assuming James H. Poythress who got marriage license Oct 1873 at age 22 is her brother, William and Julia would have been married prior to 1851. Guessing William died between 1873 and 1880. Appreciate any info.

Wow, thanks to the elusive Al Timms, list administrator, for the head count and for all the work involved in keeping the list and archives straight. As you are aware, I somehow thought you might be with us even now after two years, but then I also thought you might be on a beach in Australia. Don't ask! Let's hear from more of you 90 odd folks! Bellinda, Calling Mary a Sloman, I didn't do, but I hope the references to R. Bolling Batte's four cards on your query did help. http://lvaimage.lib.va.us/collections/BA.html Stith J: 4-5 and 23-24 For the group, this is what I said, "Francis Poythress, the immigrant, had as his wife Mary, who later, married Robert Wynne. Some people call her Sloman, but there is no substantiating evidence that I can find. We are talking 350 years ago, and evidence is slim, but that doesn't stop some people from extrapolating and then turning conjecture into fact." I have seen Mary's surname as Peachy, too, which I personally like the sound of, but still no evidence. As she appears four-five times in my family tree, I feel I should be able to choose! Bellinda, there are several more erudite discussions of the Sloman name in the Poythress archives, which I would recommend for you: Search the POYTHRESS archives: http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=POYTHRESS Browse the POYTHRESS archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/poythress Diana

Hello, list: Thanks very much to Diana DIAMOND and an email that I received from her just now, I realized that my poor tired brain had just 'fritzed' when I sent the following message about my maternal 11th great grandmother: Mrs. Mary SLOMAN (POYTHRESS) who married Robert WYNNE, (my maternal 11th great grandfather,) were the parents of Thomas WYNNE who married Agnes STITH, (my maternal 10th great grandparents,) (and Agnes STITH was the daughter of Mrs. Jane MOSEBY (GREGORY) (PARSONS) and her 3rd husband, (Major) John STITH, my maternal 11th great grandparents.) My descent continues through Agnes STITH and Thomas WYNNE's son, (Colonel) Robert WYNNE and his wife, Martha JEFFERSON, through their daughter Lucretia WYNNE and her husband, Joseph Tudor TUCKER. It was my incorrect placement of Mrs. Mary ? SLOMAN? (POYTHRESS,) momentarily, as the mother of Mrs. Jane MOSEBY (GREGORY) (PARSONS,) (as I am searching for information regarding the parents of both of these women.) I have it all straight in my files but, somehow, while typing out a series of different emails and such, regarding searches, I scrambled my information. Too sleepy I think. I do apologize to everyone on the list and I greatly thank Diana for alerting me when she emailed me mentioning that she was unaware of a 3rd marriage for Mrs. Mary SLOMAN (POYTHRESS) after she married as her known 2nd husband, Robert WYNNE, and I realized the when I looked at it what I had done! The minute I saw Robert WYNNE's name as her husband I realized what I had done. Just one of those <duh> moments that we wish we would never have! <lol> Thanks, Diana, and thanks for the other information as well..

We are very interested in getting more Chase City items if anyone has any pointers or items they might want to sell.  Of particular interest is the Mecklenburg Hotel and the Mecklenburg Spring.

Sorry to have not stated this one plainly. The LVA newsletter is not put on line. It is mailed to members. And with almost each issue is mentioned a new group of records or a record index which has recently been digitalized and is on-line. This issue mentions the Virginia Historical Inventory. Diana has gone to the inventory itself and searched out the 8 Poythress entries. These look to be a gold mine but, as usual with an "index" you either have to go to the library or order copies of the documents. Paste the address Diana gives into your browser and bring up the 8 Poythress entries found. Maynard

Diana.....I found that guy too a while back. Didn't know what else to do with him so I just stuck him on my hard drive figuring he might someday ring a bell. As you confessed, I will too: I'm getting entirely too much of that stuff hiding in there. <g> Maynard

Bruce Porter (with a Virginia address) has gracefully offered to order these copies for us to escape the $20 each out of state surcharge. Bruce, will your graciousness allow me to hold you in my back pocket while I shop for a better deal with the logic as described below. Craig Scott is on some high powered committee at the library, has access to the "forms" (you all didn't think we'd get away without doing it in quadruplicate for all 17 of them did you ?). I would also suspect that Craig might be able to say to the young library intern to just forget it if one of these things run to some God-awful length (say, over 10 pages) for any single one. Craig.....I'll do the paying, I'll do the transcribing. Would you take the list of 17 and go get 'em tiger for us? We would all elect you something of the year.....whatever you choose but the job doesn't pay. Maynard
