"Fox Family," William & Mary Quarterly, series 1, vol. 17, no. 1 (Jul. 1908), p. 62-63: "Deed of Henry Thacker, recorded at Middlesex Court House. Henry Thacker (of ye parish of Christ Church) & Elizabeth, his wife, to Edwin Thacker, a tract of land given by John Payne, Sen^r, late of Rappahannock County, dec'd, unto Anne Payne, his daughter-in-law, late wife to his son, John Payne, Jun., dec'd, for & during the said Ann Payne's natural life, & after her decease unto the child then in her womb begotten by his said son, John Payne Jr., which said child is Elizabeth ye said wife of Henry Thacker, land in Rappahannock County on Pepetiak Creek. Date 17 April 1690. "Will of Mrs. Ann Fox. To brother William Daingerfield a ring, to sister Frances Thacker a ring, to cousin Ann Thacker 1 doz. silver spoons of £5 value & one silver cane of £5 value, & one mourning ring to cousin Edwin Daingerfield 1 doz. silver spoons of £5 value & one silver cane of £5 value, & a mourning ring to cousin Martha Daingerfield the same. All the spoons and canes to be marked A.F. To cousin Edwin Thacker a ring & to my cousin, Elizabeth, his wife, a ring, to Rev. Bartholomew Yates a ring, for his wife Sarah, a ring, to cousin Elizabeth Vivion a ring, to Ann Burges, of England, a ring, to my daughter Frances, the wife of Charles Burges, a ring & two orphan children named Kell (?) until their time is expired & to her also all rest of my estate. To my son, Charles Burges, a ring, & appoint him and my daughter Frances Executors. Date March 13, 1722. Proved June 12, 1723." Sisters Elizabeth and Frances Payne married brothers Henry and Edwin Thacker. "Cousin Edwin Thacker" and "Cousin Elizabeth, his wife" were the son of Frances and the daughter of Elizabeth--both Thackers and first cousins. Recall that in early days "cousin" normally meant "niece" or "nephew." Presumably "brother William Daingerfield" is the brother of Frances's dead husband and cousins Edwin and Martha Daingerfield are Frances's children.

The Condicon of this obligacon is such that whereas EDWIN THACKER has this day obteyned a Lycence for his Marriage with MRS. FRANCES DAINGERFIELD." This was Frances Payne. Does anyone know which Daingerfield was her first husband? I'm guessing that the William Daingerfield in Ann Fox's will could be the man b 1680, d 1735, of "Greenfield" in Essex Co, who m. Elizabeth Bathurst, but I haven't identified his parents or any siblings. Kathleen Much The Book Doctor

Kathleen, Excellent! This is like unsorting the William Fox but in reverse. Same principles apply, however. I will take a closer look at this. I had seen the Fox Family article, which I referenced in my post you quote below. But you've added some new tipping points to it. THANK YOU! (Like we needed another Payne family....) Another lesson here--and one of the reasons I included Middlesex & Essex Counties in the definition of the "Northern Neck" for purposes of THIS list, is that one really has to look in all the surrounding counties. I remember taking some serious flack from a gentleman in Westmoreland County for doing this at the time (September 2009,) when the list was created. Again, Kathleen, excellent material. I look forward to delving into this further when time permits.
