I am a desc. of Col. William TAYLOE 1675-1710 and Anne CORBIN 1664-1694 of "Mount Airy" Richmond Co., VA. What do you know of Joseph TAYLOE who, by your message, m "Barbary"?

Sorry for the delay in responding. I've had 6 houseguests for a week and still have 3 in residence. There are at least two errors in the message referred to below. The most important is the conjecture that Daniel McCarty married his aunt. Luke (d. 1671/2) and Barbary (d. 1674) Billington had 1 son and 4 daughters. Luke Jr died unmarried, 25 Jan 1686/7. Elizabeth m. Dennis McCarty in 1675. Their only son was Daniel (1679-1724). Elitia (Alisha, Alicia) m. Dr John Russell. Jane (d. 1717) m. Robert Bayliss, John Baker, and Thomas Dew. Barbary (d. 1727) m. Joseph Tayloe. Documentary evidence for these marriages is cited in Bill McCarty's and my book, _The McCartys of the Northern Neck_. We were unable to find proof of Barbary's (the mother's) maiden name. Kathleen Much On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 Charlene wrote: > > DANLL.

The McCarty ledgers (horizontal tombstones) at Yeocomico Church were badly defaced, and Elizabeth's was in fragments in Daniel's grave. Bill and I reconstructed the family from the inscriptions and other documentary evidence, plus some sensible inference (such as ages at marriage). Children, named on Elizabeth's stone among other places: Anna Barbara was born 30 Nov 1700 or 1701 (we believe her parents married in Oct 1699 (not 1698), and so either 1700 or 1701 is possible; she married in 1715), died 12 Dec 1737. Maj. Dennis was born 7 Nov 1703, died 25 Mar 1742. Katherine was born -- Mar 1705, died between 1721 and 1726. Daniel was born about 1707, died before 26 Jun 1744. Twins Billington and Winifred were born 1709; Billington died before 1 Jul 1745 and Winifred after 22 Sep 1740. Sarah was born 1710, died after 17 May 1729. Thaddeus was born 1712, died 7 Feb 1731. Because of wills and other documents, we decided that Penelope (Higgins) McCarty's child mentioned on the ledger died, probably at birth or in infancy, and that Daniel's only surviving child was by Elizabeth (--) Smith. Had Daniel's son Daniel been Penelope's child, he would have inherited from her relatives. He did not. The Brooke Payne book makes a couple of errors in transcribing Elizabeth's ledger, most particularly in giving her birthdate as 1667. Bill McCarty saw the fragment many years ago and said it clearly read 1677. Penelope was the daughter of Augustine, not Christine, Higgins. Edward White is correct in saying that all this is covered extensively in Bill's and my book, _The McCartys of the Northern Neck_. I don't propose to type it all in again on this list. Of course we are happy to hear of any corrections if people find new documentary evidence. Kathleen Much

Again I say that having tried to do the same thing on a much smaller scale, I have great sympathy for Eaton. He was from Oak Grove on the western end of the county and may be more accurate there. If he began there he probably was more inspired. I found out for myself, that you can reach such a point of frustration, that you just get sloppy. He did make plats including latitude & longitude. He did research deeds. That said, when I find he omitted 10 out of 20 patents which were available from sources he used, I am very leary. I view his book as a starting point just as I would family trees on the internet. His prose section has raised a lot of hackles and is superficial, e.g. Middleton (a family) initially meant Middle Town. Simply writing in a name somewhere in the vicinity of a patent is to me nearly as bad as omitting it entirely. *Capt. Thomas Youell, born in 1615 . . . He became a Justice of Westmoreland County, and is buried under the present Mt. Holly church with several other members of his family.* Eaton, p.53. If Youell was born in 1615 he is not buried under Nomini Church, which was rebuilt in the 1840's, unless someone dug him up and replanted him. As a former member of the church, I have never heard of anyone being buried under the alter. As a matter of fact the alter was moved from the west to the east side some years ago. The original church was across Nomini Creek somewhere undetermined. There are unmarked graves behind the present church.

First, Flynt's Mill. (For some reason I had not saved McCarty's will and finally found it.) That mill is actually in Northumberland County at the county line, but on the NCO side. If you have access to a map of the area, you will find it on Va. Rt. 617, Gardy's Mill Road, which runs southeast from Rt. 203 near Kinsale. In colonial times this was known as the Main Road or the Road to Flynt's Mill. The mill is on Hampton Hall Creek, known first as Yeocomico River, then Flynt's Mill Creek. Gardy was a later operator of the mill. The mill is still there but abandoned. I am sure the building is not the original. Flynt was Clerk in Northumberland at one time. I searched out McCarty's for a bit but did not find mention of the mill, but I certainly did not go through all of their deeds. Cherry Point is not far away. It is the large neck of land between the South Yeocomico and Coan rivers in Northumberland and fronts on the Potomac. Most of my work has been in Westmoreland. I would not be surprised if Flynt had another mill on Cherry Point. McCarty is buried at Yeocomico Church, Tucker Hill, Va. a few miles from Kinsale and not at all close to Montross. The stone has been restored/re-written. I am sure Dr, McCarty's book must have gone into that and would have the transcription.

Ed, Do you know when or about this recreated stone was made? Was the original still legible at the time? That there even IS an original from 1732 is a red flag to me. What is the earliest date of an original stone? I realize Cople Parish records before 1940 are destroyed (at least I think that is what you once told me, perhaps you can expand on that here.)

Hello, Edward White ...If you are near Kinsale, the below info might be of interest to you, as well as others on the list. In the Daniel McCarty Will, he mentions having acquired "Flint's Mill". I think I recall this property was passed to his son, Daniel, via his Will. Now, below is a later Deed that tends to indicate this mill was near Cherry Poinrt & Mundy's Point (which I believe is just across the line from Westmoreland in Northumberland), near Kinsale .... Just wondering if the whereabouts of this mill is currently known from any foundation remains, etc. ? F-361; Mr. Newton Kenn of Northumberland Co., 51 A. in said Co. Surv. Capt Willoughby Newton. 60 A. belonging to Phillip Rogers was Escheated by death of Rogers. No known heirs. Newton obtained warrant. *Adj. Flint’s Mill,*Cherry Point, James Crain, land formerly Mr. John Keene’s, William ____yarbors Mill Pond, Munday’s Point, Mr. Richard Hull. 1Mar. 1754 Second, after a few internet searches I noticed Daniel McCarty Sr. is supposedly buried at Wicomoco Church, near Montross, not to far from Kinsale. Both places seem to be located near the lower end of Westmoreland. If correct, these gravestones seem to verify info being posted to list. Also, it's Interesting there's an un-named child by Penelope Higgins McCarty...Do we know the child's name ?. Also, I have read where Daniel McCarty Jr. married an "Elizabeth Smith" after Penelope's death. If Penelope was 19 and had one child, I'm wondering if she died as results of child birth ??? Also, this Penelope has an Aunt "Penelope" Higgins, who is said to have married John Manley it looks like. Daniel's tombstone in "West'd Co., near Montross" now erased by time read:"Here lyeth the body of Daniel McCarty, who departed this life the forth of May, 1724, in the forty-fifth year of his age. He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise. Here also lyeth the body of Thaddeus McCarty, youngest son to Daniel McCarty, Esq. He died the 7th of February, 1731, in the 19th year of his Age. Near this place Like Wise is the Body of Penelope, Wife to Daniel McCarty, Second son of Daniel McCarty, Esq., and daughter to Christine Higgins, Gent., who departed this life the 26th of March,1732, in the 19th year of her age, *with one Child."* In 1907 as his tomb was being righted, an unknown and unsuspected slab was found beneath his tomb. This slab is hopelessly defaced in places, but it still gives very valuable information. It marks the burial place of Elizabeth, first wife of William Payne and second of Daniel McCarty."

Somewhere I stumbled on Sem Cox. I seem to recall he was a ship captain. I too work on the land side. I just finished a squib on Eaton. He had an impossible job. I know because I am trying to do the same thing but in a smaller area. However when you omit 50% of the patents in one area, it is not good. My final comment was: "Placement is one thing. Glaring omissions are inexcusable. It is regretful that this work has been regarded as scripture in the county for decades." Unfortunately his is the only work. I have hit the Thomas family on a few deeds and will check to see what I have.

Ed, good point in that last paragraph about "totally binding in most courts."

  I've been working through the 1692-1700 Richmond land & court records.   I think Griffin Carter is the s/o John Carter, cousin of John Carter d 1669 who named him in his will.   both John's lived in Old Rappahannock but I think cousin John's (d1670) Widow Elizabeth (Griffin)  married 2nd William Tuffley, 3rd John Hull, 4th William Lloyd & 5th John Morris.   Griffin purchases land in Essex 1693 (Richmond records) from John Deane who owned land on both sides of the river.   Have not found an estate record for Griffin Carter but his widow Susannah was brought into court for being in an unmarried relationship   === 1716-1718 Essex Co VA Deed & Will Book 18; Antient Press: (Page 72-75) 15 July 1717  Griffin Carter of St. Mary's parish, Essex county, unto my daughter Elizabeth Bell. 50 Acres which she now lives upon during her natural life and then unto my grandaughter Mary Bell daughter of John Bell and Elizabeth Bell, but if Mary happens to die without heirs the land to fall to my son John Carter Griffin Carter Wit: Edward Scrimpshaw, George Robinson. 16 July 1717 Acknowledged by Richard Booker attorney of Griffin Carter.

Captain Daniel McCarty (1679-1724) married twice. Both wives were widows. In 1699 he married Elizabeth (Pope) Payne (1677-1716), who had four children and a stepdaughter by her first husband, William Payne. Daniel and Elizabeth had eight children. On 27 May 1719 Daniel married Ann (Lee) Fitzhugh (1683-1731/2). She had three children by her first husband, Col. William Fitzhugh, and one by Daniel who apparently died young. To confuse matters, Daniel's eldest daughter, Anna Barbara McCarty, had married in 1715 John Fitzhugh of "Marmion", William's brother. So when Ann married Daniel, her sister-in-law became her stepdaughter. I don't know who Sarah Payne might be. She doesn't fit into the McCartys or Paynes in my database. Captain Daniel McCarty died 4 APRIL, not 4 May, 1724. His children were, in order, Anna Barbara m. John Fitzhugh and Adam Crump Dennis m. Sarah Ball Katherine m. Capt. Samuel Peachey Daniel of Westmoreland m. Penelope Higgins and Elizabeth (--) Smith Billington m. Anne Barber Winifred m. Robert Massey Sarah m. Thomas Beale IV Thaddeus d. unmarried in 1731 (age 19) Ann predeceased her mother, Ann (Lee) McCarty Probably your Lettice McCarty is an error for Lettice Fitzhugh (1707-1732), Ann Lee's daughter by her first husband. Lettice had a brother Henry (d. 1742) and a sister Sarah (d. 1743). Sarah m. Edward Barradall, Lettice m. Major George Turberville, and Henry m. Lucy Carter. A passage in Hayden seems to indicate that Sarah Ellen Chinn m. Col. Thaddeus McCarty, but this inference is wrong. Billington McCarty's son Thaddeus (1739-1787) m. Ann Chinn. His cousin Thaddeus (1739-1812), son of Dennis McCarty, m. Sarah Elizabeth Richardson. Possibly someone conflated the two Thaddeuses and their wives. I don't know what became of Sarah Ellen Chinn, daughter of Rawleigh Chinn and Easter Ball, but she didn't marry any McCarty whom Bill McCarty and I were able to track down. All of this family is covered extensively in _The McCartys of the Northern Neck_. A number of libraries own copies, including the DAR Library in Washington, the Clayton Library in Houston, and the Mary Ball Washington Library in the Northern Neck. I think Bill donated one to the Library of Virginia in Richmond, too. Kathleen Much On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 Janean wrote: > > Kathleen, while we are on this particular person....
