Hi John, I am a member of Northern Neck because of my CLARKSON who lived in Essex County. Your message caught my attention because I am searching for the origins of my DAVIS -- I have a George W DAVIS located I Madison County KY in 1860. It has been suggested that his father might be Henry. The DAVIS marry into the Bentley family which does come from Essex Co. Just wondering where your DAVIS are living. Thanks for your time, Mary -----Original Message----- From: John Cullom Sr Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2012 10:16 AM To: va-northern-neck@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] Essex Co Thanks Craig, I have several references for Cullu(o)m in Westmoreland Co. I’ll send them to you if you are interested, e.g., George Washington's father, Augustine, sold land to Mark Cullum in 1716, DB-6,pg 34-37. What do I have to do to become a member of the group? Surry & Sussex Co.s are not part of Northern Neck I guess. That’s where my branch of the tree originated. My interest in Essex is in Davis. I’ve reached a wall with Henry Davis (b 1805). Cullom is spelled many ways. You can substitute any vowel for the u & o & it still sounds right.

Yes, both Essex and Middlesex are included in this Northern Neck. Your surname is timely. I've been abstracting the heretofore unpublished Westmoreland County Deed & Will Book 7 and ran across this name which spelled CULLOM. This is for the period 1720-1722 though nearly all of 1721 is somehow missing, unless it shows up later in the book. am only through page 134 out of 400+. Would be delighted to have you on our list. We can't enough people from Maryland.
