Can somebody recommend a good researcher for Gloucester, EN?

When we're gone - what happens to our life's work? It's daunting to think about putting something in our will, or making some other legally binding arrangements. I've typed a one page document, and put it in my safe with other key documents, wherein I've spelled out my wishes. Generally they are to offer my files to anyone in the close family who has an interest in it, but if there are no takers, then I made a list of genealogy repositories I've worked with over the years that I would like my executor to contact and see if they want the collection or any part of it. If no takers, throw it out! My executor should also send an email to all of my contacts and, explaning that I have died, and give them a heads up that my on-line files may vanish after my subscriptions run out - so copy them soon if you want them.... This is my solution, based on the 80/20 rule - not perfect, but it may cover a lot of bases with minumum of effort on anyone's part. At least I can sleep well, knowing I've done something.

Craig The default is Public, others can see/copy (I think), but not change. I'm sure if they have an Ancestry sub, they can. It's hard for me to know what others can see in Ancestry. Maybe you can log off of your editor status and see if you can find the Tree, or someone in it. It's a toggle - I can easily change it to Private if you would prefer.

In my hometown of Monroe, LA many people have sent their work to the local library and genealogy room there. Since few in my family show much interest, that is most likely what I will also do. There is a considerable investment, not just in time, but in money for many many books as well as the subscriptions to Ancestry an Gen.Com. It is great to sit at home and find so much even though I live in Charleston, SC and we have a fantastic Genealogy room at the Charleston County library. When one calculates travel costs and parking fees, it makes the costs seem more in line. Genealogy.com gives one access to lots of great records. My years of going to court houses and finding info have been educational, but my time and energy level to handle all those huge books are growing fewer. I am so grateful for those who post so much great info these days also.

What happens to all work when you are gone? http://www.genealogyblog.com/?p=14308 I ran across an article this week in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution <http://www.ajc.com/lifestyle/are-your-genealogy-files-1186045.html> (AJC) entitled "Are your genealogy files in your will?" http://www.ajc.com/lifestyle/are-your-genealogy-files-1186045.html The article is actually a synopsis for another article appearing in the September/October issue of Family Chronicle magazine. The thrust of the articles is to remind family historians to create a list of important genealogical data and family heirlooms and to leave instructions for their distribution after death. Reading the article in the AJC reminded me of a story shared by members of a genealogical society were I had spoken. They told me of a member who had recently passed. The woman had been an active member for 15 years and an avid genealogist for 30 years. This women had an entire room in her home dedicated to her research. Her work filled volumes. She had papers, books, and vital information stacked on bookshelves and in boxes floor to ceiling. All was well organized, but the total volume was overwhelming. When this women passed, her children came in, took one look, and threw 30 years of research into the garbage. This dedicated genealogist was a wonderful person by all accounts. However, she failed in two key. Unfortunately, many genealogists make the same mistakes she did. First, she failed to instill a lasting love for genealogy in a child, grandchild, cousin, or other family member. She never helped nurture a love in her descendents to match the love she had for her own ancestors. She may have tried to find a willing participant and simply not gotten the desired results. When family won't participate it makes the second failure all the more devastating. Her second mistake was the failure to leave a will or other clear instructions for the administration of her records and other vital information. I realize some people don't like to think about their own mortality. However, how can anyone work as a genealogist and not give one's own demise some consideration? What good comes from our research if not left for others to find and use? These stories are a reminder to me to work with my own children. I must at least show them what I have found and let them know how important genealogy is me. I must also organize my records, photos, and heirlooms; then, list them and make clear, in writing, my desire regarding these precious artifacts as an inheritance or donation after my own parting. Hopefully, each of you will give similar thought to your priceless collections, and make proper preparations.

Fat fingers - sorry When I realize that Family Finder DNA is now shown to go through 200 of my ancestors, I feel the initial cost is a bargain.

Jim -- HURRAH! Your message came a bit garbled in text formatting, so to send an e-mail to Jim Bartlett, here is the address: [email protected] Jim has kindly undertaken the job of administering this site. It may take some time for him to process all of your requests, so be patient with him. He does have a day job. Remember, this is a relatively small sampling of NN families and if you don't find somebody there already, or even a way to link to them however remotely, don't despair. It will grow quickly. As I've written before, there is a learning curve to using this site. Take your time to kick the tires and play around with it. I discovered last night that my notes on all these people are there, but buried deep deep deep. So deep I can't even remember how I found it. You will notice almost every event says it has a source citation. They did. All you'll see is a number of what it used to refer to and nothing else. Those can all be deleted now as we go along. I am not sure how to create a master bibliography. I added in a few our standard sources but they only seem to apply to that particular person for whatever various events, not as a master list. That being said, most of us will be in the same freshman class here. This list is the place to ask questions, give answers, tips, and above all tell us what you have changed and why you changed it. Or what differs from your own data and why what is here may be wrong. And as Jim said, "If in doubt, leave it out"--this list is the place to have those very discussions. As Jim also said, "This is about quality, not quantity." While I do not personally put surnames in caps--and did not do so on this database--he is right that this is the conventional and preferred method. You will notice an easy method to cite a source for an event is to just type it into the "description box" when editing any particular event. For example, editing death year of William-1 Ball, I typed in date will was written, date it was recorded, with Will Book and page number. It's an easy reference and if you don't want to bother with fighting entering a full blown bibliographic source, this is a cheat-sheet way to do it and still show you have a good source. All right, mateys. SHIP AHOY! Have fun Craig On Sep 27, 2011, at 1:27 PM, Jim Bartlett wrote: > > > > Northern Neck of Virginia Families â a new Ancestry.com Tree is launched!

Craig, Thank you for more on the Hudson connections. Those depositions I found concerning the sisters of Elizabeth nee Revett was from research done by George H. S. King for a private client whose work was published. I found the book at NC State Archives. [That also led me to call Mary Lou Ruth and there was no English record.] Part of the research being done for me now concerns line of THOMAS HUDSON. Thomas' son Samuel Hudson shows in 1771 CC MD records with an "Elander McConky" who I believe to be my 5xg Alexander McConchie. Bill Deyo is direct of Samuel Hudson so I have the benefit of his well researched and documented work. Thomas Hudson was the son of a Henry Hudson and Elizabeth Chinn of Northumberland Co. VA. [This is not "the" Chinn line...] Thomas Hudson had sons one of which was named "Caleb" Hudson. Thomas Hudson also had son Samuel Hudson who named a son "Fielding" Hudson. Fielding Hudson married a great granddaughter of Thomas Monteith. Thomas Monteith also had daughter Magdalene who married Anderson Doniphan, grandson of Alexander Doniphan who had been married to AMY, 2nd Margaret Mott. I don't think Thomas Hudson's line connects to Joshua Hudson's line at this point but my radar goes up on certain surnames you post. Northumberland County Virginia Record Book 1738-1743, page 106, Northumberland County Parish of St. Stephens . . ."This indenture made the 2nd day of Dec. 1740 by Thomas HUDSON of Charles County in the Province of Maryland to Robert HUDSON of the County of North'd & Parish of St. Stephen . . . In consideration of 5000 lbs of good tobbo already payed - all that tract or Divident of land Given & bequeathed to him the said Thomas HUDSON by the last will and testament of Henry HUDSON dec'd . . . being part of a tract formerly granted to Anthony LINTON" . . . Wit: Richard CLAUGHTON, Wm PURNELL(?), Sam'l HARRISON, Rodam HUDSON, Fielding HUDSON. ======================== As I said the line of Daniel Field has leads for me. I'm also interested the Charles Ashton neighbor of Joshua Hudson. I found below record concerning James Ashton who names a "godson" James Mackey. I haven't seen the original but I think this James Ashton was same one who had will proved 1687 and named a godchild "Richard Elkins". The name JAMES MACKEY and his associations was a BIG breakthrough. I would like to see if JAMES ASHTON was related to JOSHUA HUDSON's neighbor CHARLES ASHTON?

Craig This is also my husband's line. I have not worked it in so many years. Unfortunately, I have no further information. In going over my notes, sparse as they may be next to yours.

Robert William Francis Mary (John Taylor) Martha (Newman Brown) Elizabeth (John Underwood) A planter in Richmond County. Is this the same HUDSON line? Phebe Morgan

Mike It's interesting to see a lot of my original BARTLETT work, most with attribution, in your WC tree. I presume you don't relate and have them there because they are NN? I'll go through it, one by one, and provide some corrections, but I can tell you now that the Richmond Co, VA BARTLETTs (mine) have matching DNA from 4 of the 5 sons of Thomas BARTLETT 1705-1783; and we have matching DNA from the Essex/Spotsylvania Co, VA BARTLETT line, and these two lines do not relate for over 10,000 years! The Thomas BARTLETT d 1748 in King George Co, VA could be the son of Thomas BARTLETT b c1670 of Essex Co, VA, but he had only daughters that we know of (one married a MARSHALL), so we don't have Y-DNA from his line. Perhaps we can find some of his descendants to do Family Finder DNA, and finally find out where the KG BARTLETTs came from. Anyway, thanks for including my work in your tree and including some attribution. Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime!

John Mason d 1683 and his widowed wife Mary married a John Beere, Thomas Terret/Terwhitt (sp) and William Sample. The Mason orphans are named in court records over the next 15 yrs:  James, Robert, William, John, Margaret (who married John Higdon) and Hannah (who married William Wroe).  Thomas Mountjoy and Original Browne were trustees for the orphans.   does anyone have parents for this John or a surname for his wife Mary?   http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mrmarsha&id=I70287

Amanda, For more concrete evidence other than just my word for it comes from this (thankfully) detailed deed in Westmoreland County Westmoreland Co., VA Deed & Will Book 8, p. 22. Dated 22 June 1724. Joshua Hudson and Joyce his wife of Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co, planters, to John Pratt of Sittenbourne Parish, King George Co., gentleman. For 10 shillings lawful money of England [this is probably only the lease fee portion of the lease & release deed.] 300 acres in Washington Parish, being part of a tract of 783 acres granted to John Ashton on 16 NOV 1664 and Ashton sold to Stephen Howard on 7 OCT 1667 and said Howard sold to William Balthrop 12 DEC 1670, and by Balthrop given by will to his son William Balthrop and by him sold to Daniel FIELD 21 March 1703 and by him given to his daughter Joyce HUDSON, party to these presents as may appear by his last will. Here again we see the Ashton name involved. I am assuming they were all neighbors. This would be Machodoc Creek vicinity. Joshua-2 Hudson is not my direct line, but the Hudson Family of the South Association assigns two children to him, who are: (1) Field-3 Hudson (2) Joshua-3 Hudson It has been literally YEARS since I've worked on this line, which was mostly just on my directly which is through Rush-2 Hudson. By the way, the full name of Rush Limbaugh is Rush Hudson Limbaugh, another descendant from that line. [Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger] At that time (1980s) the Hudson Family of the South Association was based in St. Louis County, Missouri in a private home. The entire basement was wall-to-wall Hudson material. The lady in charge at the time was named Deloris Hudson, Florissant, MO. I remember her telling me that it almost seemed obligatory that every Hudson family have a son named Rush an/or Joshua.) To KATHLEEN MUCH: This is how I got to know Newman Hall so well. This was one of his lines as well. ALSO--Chapman Dark or Darke. I would bet he died in Maryland. No record of his estate anywhere in Virginia. The back and forth across the Chesapeake was considerable and too often gets ignored.

Craig, Confirmation of Daniel Field having daughter Joyce Hudson helps in identification of a Daniel Field who seems to have been in a record with Jonah Revet. Jonah Revett [Jr.] had sister Elizabeth Revett who married 1st Nicholas Bernard, 2nd Samuel Young son of Vincent Young. Elizabeth [Revet] Bernard, Young had sister AMY. From depositions, AMY appears to have been a wife of Alexander Doniphan [Sr.] and they had son Alexander Doniphan Jr. AMY died and Alexander Doniphan remarried Margaret Mott, d/o my 7xgf George Mott of Northern Neck locale. Amy has been thought to have been a Partridge but Bill Deyo and I feel she was a "Revett' and sister of Elizabeth [Revett] Bernard, Young. http://genforum.genealogy.com/partridge/messages/1411.html =============== Daniel Field was in record with a Jonah Revet who appears to have been Jonah Revett [Jr.] who had [half blood] sisters Elizabeth [Revett] 1st Bernard, 2nd Young and Amy Doniphan. Margaret Mott was sister of my 6x great grandmother Eleanor Mott m. Richard Shippey. My interest in Daniel Field having daughter Joyce Hudson is that I believe he also had a son Henry Field m. Esther James. Joyce Hudson was a half blood sister to Henry Field m. Esther James whose grandson Henry Allen m. Catherine McConchie, d/o my 5xgf Alexander McConchie died 1811 in Fauquier Co. Alexander McConchie's grandson married a great granddaughter of Eleanor Mott and Richard Shippey. [Henry Field ended up in Culpeper Co.
