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 I've been abstracting the heretofore unpublished Westmoreland County Deed & Will Book 7 and ran across this name which spelled CULLOM.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.

John--you are already subscribed as a member of the Northern Neck list. No, Surry and Sussex are not part of the Northern Neck group. There is a rootsweb list for Southside Virginia, however. Davis, huh? I did a huge Davis project several years ago but it did not originate from Essex County, so therefore I know very little about that group. It was an extremely diligent client that we got the line through King William County (gasp!) and back to the emigrant who was an "ancient planter" and was given land by the famous London merchant Micijah Perry of Perry & Lane, for whom he had apparently worked at some point before coming to Virginia. My point is that a name like Davis can be very difficult, as you no doubt know already. At least you have them back to Essex County. Regarding Mark Cullum, the record I mentioned in Westmoreland Deed & Will Book 7 (p 103) was his deed for 103 acres to Peter Bradshaw on Miller's Creek in Washington Parish, lease & release dated 25 & 26 September 1722. Are you able to connect to this Mark Cullum? Craig On Nov 25, 2012, at 12:16 PM, John Cullom Sr wrote: > Thanks Craig, I have several references for Cullu(o)m in Westmoreland Co.
