Hi Everyone, Hope everyone is having a good summer, (it sure is hot here in VA BCH) but anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that if you are planning to do ANY kind of Court House research in Hampton Roads Between Oct & Nov. DON'T We have a few trials gonna be going on here, and it's not gonna be pretty. Both court houses (va bch & chesapeake) are on two lane roads, there will be no parking avail, and no hotels avail either. The world will be here & I really mean that. I'm just wondering about jury duty.................. (another day..............) Oh and just wanted to let everyone know that the Norfolk Virginian newspaper starts in 1866 and runs to present, and will be occasionally posting interesting marriage,death and gossip tidbits from the paper. If you don't want to read them, then just delete, thanks, oh and just another fyi the Norfolk library has a newspaper that starts in 1800 however, the print is small and in the kings english, with all those double F & S, I couldn't read a thing, I much prefer the 1866 paper. thanks Kristina <A HREF="www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com">www.nyvagenealogy.homestead.com</A>
Nope, not quite, Dear Friend, Margaret. If you are a half-brother or half-sister to another, then you carry one half of the same bloodline that the other person does. In calculating consanguinity, ANY blood within the 5th degree brings the prohibition into play. ----- Original Message ----- From: Margaret Driskill To: Paul Drake ; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 6:37 PM Subject: Re: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] consanguinity: marriage between blood relatives Paul dear and all, The very definition of consanguinity rules out, in my opinion, a 'half' anyone. Doesn't it mean that you are of the same blood. A 'half' means that one of the children had a different mother or father from the rest... Fondly, Margaret

Interesting question received today: *** Paul: ....In 1933 Indiana permitted marriage between relatives not closer than 2nd cousins. One of ___'s cousins married her half-uncle (half-brother of her father) and went to some length to disguise the relationship, lying in the license application about her parents' names -- as well as her former marriage, although she had been divorced. Did she need to? i.e., is a half-uncle closer than second cousin?.... *** At the time (and now), in IN, OH, and many other States the rule was that one could not marry within the 5th degree of consanguinity. Thus, one could marry 2nd cousins (6th degree), and "halfs-" were considered a degree. Thus, this uncle was within the 5th degree; in fact, he was 3rd degree - - father, gfather and son (uncle). In calculating, you do not count the person whose eligibility is being decided, but you do count the proposed bride/groom of that person. Hope this helps. Paul
Greetings, I am seeking info on the black Arthur Irby (36y), wife Mary, and their next door neighbor George Brown & wife Lizzie, found in the 1920 Census for West Virginia, Raleigh Co, Coal City township, Hot Coal Precinct. I suspect the above Arthur is the same Arthur Brown who married Pattie Chappell in 1904 in Halifax Co VA. In the 1910 Census Arthur (26Y) and Pattie were listed with their 3 female children in Halifax Co Virginia. The name of the mother of Arthur was Sallie Brown. When Arthur married Pattie in 1904 he used the Surname Brown, and listed his mother as Sallie. I found Arthur (14Y) in the 1900 census for VA. living in the household of Sallie Brown, with his siblings. Arthur left (spelled abandoned) Pattie and his children in VA, and went alone to W.Va. I suspect that Arthur Irby and his next door neighbor George Brown in the 1920 West Virginia Census were related to each other.

Greetings, Time to see if anyone out there will own up to being related to me. I am an Afro-American. My G-Grand parents were Peter and Allie/Alice Chappell of Halifax Co. Va. Christopher Carlton a white slave holder died in 1824 (probably in King + Queen County) Va. In his will Christopher willed to his daughter Polly Carlton "one Negro Esther and her future increase." Dolly died July 7, 1858, without husband, or issue. In Jan of 1859 the increase of "one Negro Esther," the slave willed to Polly Carlton were bought by Joel Younger from Polly's surviving siblings and the children of Polly's dead siblings, for $1,500 dollars. "One Negro Esther" was mentioned in the papers to establish that Joel was purchasing the increase of Esther (I am assuming that Esther was then dead). That sum of $1,500, bought my g-grand mother Allie and her children, Willis, Daniel (my grandfather ), Eppa, George, and Henry. Joel Younger had in fact had possession of Allie before he officially bought her in 1859, because I found in "Slave Birth Records," Allie giving birth to three of her children, in 1853, 1855, and 1858, with the owner listed as Joel Younger. In the 1870 Census for Halifax Co. VA, Peter aged 40y and Allie aged 35 were found with the following children: Willis 20y. George, 15y, Henry 13y, Peter (Lee) 12y, Doctor 10y, Davis 9y, Bell 7y, Willy Ann 5y, Edward 3y, and Horace 6mo. Daniel, my grandfather a son of Peter & Allie, was living nearby with his wife Sue, and using the surname Younger. In 1880 I again found Peter 50y, and Allie/Alice 50 y, with children Bell 18y, Willie 16, Doctor 20, Lee (Peter) 22y, Henry 23y, Eppy 24y, Edward 12y, Horace (Braxton) 11y, Milly 7y, and Corer 4y. Other than the births of children to Allie in 1853, 1855 and 1858, and the sale of she and her children, I found Peter listed as informant in the deaths of two of his children one in 1879, the other in 1887. Peter was found in the Personal Property Tax list till 1899, but was missing from the 1900 tax list, so I assume he died between 1899 and 1900. Allie, wife of Peter was missing from the 1900 Census, so I assume that she too was dead by 1900. I don't know yet where Peter the hubby of Allie came from, or how they wound up with the name Chappell. Perhaps Joel Younger, who held 35 slaves in 1860, bought Peter from a Chappell family.

My sincere thanks to all who responded to my question. It sure helps to talk things out. Now, I'm pretty much convinced that Thomas Harris' exempt status was due to some kind of infirmity--age and/or disability and this confirmation opens up a new door as to the other Thomas(s) who later follow him. As a matter of interest--my Thomas Harris line married into French lines of Rousseau and Foushee. Peter Fontaine, Jr. and Harrison DePriest were associated with them. This is a "great" list--there are so many small details in all of these early records which, without the genealogical tools of knowedge, would be easily overlooked. Thanks again!

The County Court minutes just might give you the reason. There is an entry in Louisa County: 11 July 1743 a petition was filed by Benjamin BERRYMAN, a cripple lately come from Gloucester County, stating that he was unable to labor for his living and asking to be exempted from the county levy.

My grandmother (Nancy Catherine O'Nan Phillips) had Huguenot ancestors from Virginia. Their original name was Aunant, and they were from Nimes in southern France. In this country and in England, the surname appears as Onan or O'Nan, but they were not Irish. Both "Aunant" and "Onan" are found in the same document in England (before they came here). In Kentucky in the early 1800s, some remained Protestants and some were Catholics. They spalled the men's given name as "Denis," using the French spelling. Mary Jane Phillips-Matz
I just pulled my "version" on this book and it is not the one send by Teryna. Memoirs of a Huguenot Family Translated and compiled for the original autobiography of the Reverend James Fontaine This book was written by Ann Maury, a granddaughter or great granddaughter. It was originally published in 1853. >From my understanding, Ann did not do the translating. She had it done and she also had certain words changed to be more genteel and worthy of a lady of her time. Dianne's book is from the same original manuscript but reads much different but with basically the same meaning. Dianne went to France and England a number of times doing research for her translation. I cannot promise you will find your Huguenot ancestors mentioned among the Fontaine work but I can assure you that this is probably the number one book used in Huguenot research by scholars as it was written by those who experienced this life. You will certainly have a greater appreciation of what your Huguenot ancestor experienced. Gale
A TALE OF THE HUGUENOTS OR MEMOIRS OF A FRENCH REFUGEE FAMILY TRANSLATED AND COMPILED FROM THE ORINGINAL MANUSCRIPTS OF JAMES FONTAINE. And this book has recently been retranslated with absoultely wonderful footnotes by a Fontaine descendant. If anyone is interested, I can give you her name so you can get in touch with her. The second translation was done from the original work and many things lost in the Maury translation are included in the new work. Gale
