Dear Lists, Hampden Sidney College is alive and well in Farmville, Virginia. It was formerly opened as "Prince Edward Academy" by the Presbytery of Hanover in January, 1776. The Academy was organized into a college and chartered in 1783. Next to William and Mary in Williamsburg, it is the oldest College in the South. I do not live in the Commonwealth, but if I did, I would be happy to help you. All of my father's ancestors were from that area. Farmville, (in Prince Edward Co.) and nearby Appomattox and Buckingham Counties are very beautiful and pleasant areas nestled in the middle of Virginia. Sandra

I think I will start with my Newfoundland roots and write. Alot of it will just be dates though, births and such as their actual life I dont know alot until closer to my own generation. cristy

I would feel comfortable in doing that also, but I would want to state at the beginning of my writing that the info is with some flaws as far as being factual and that some info is speculation etc.. cristy ----- Original Message ----- From: <EllieSS@aol.com> To: <VA-SOUTHSIDE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2005 10:14 AM Subject: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Re: VA-SOUTHSIDE-D Digest V05 #120 > > In a message dated 7/15/2005 11:42:18 A.M.

I believe documentation is very important in writing a family history.. however I believe that getting started is of value... .... e.g. I found letters that my grandmother wrote as well as others in my family. Without those letters I wouldn't know what I do about the some members of the family. Why not get that info on paper as soon as possible, then go back and do the fine "tuning." If you don't get it on paper and wait for the perfect format, your knowledge of the kin may be lost.. I always told my students (I'm a teacher).. to get started.. then we will work on the particulars! Just my 2 cents worth! Ellie Swanger

Hello Carolynn and other list members You might try writing to the college, if it is still in existence, or you might try the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections at: http://www.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/nucmc.html for copies of your college article. This url is a good one for your favorite list. Good luck. Alice

You explorers in the internet (and libraries, cemeteries, microfilms, microfiche, books, etc.) no doubt will be interested in this information. Please note the subject. I only cut and pasted. (A subscription to this almost-daily newsletter, full of good information about how to expand your genealogical skills, is FREE.) E.W.Wallace This is the article: SATELLITE IMAGES I thought I'd share a process that I use for locating ancestors property with satellite images. If you have a high speed internet connection and a fairly current PC, you can download a great satellite image program called Google Earth. It's about a 9MB download (free) available at: http://desktop.google.com/download/earth/. Among the many visually amazing features of this program is a tool where you can overlay images on top of satellite photos. As soon as I saw this feature, it hit me--"plat maps!" I imported a plat map image on top of a satellite photo of the area where my ancestors lived in 1920, and just like that I was looking at a photographic map of where my ancestors' property would be located today. The program lets you adjust the size, orientation, and best of all, the transparency level of the imported image, so you can make the map match the roads, rivers, etc. of the satellite image and then you simply drag the transparency guide back and forth to toggle between the map and the satellite image to see where property would be located today.

I have a photocopy of the title page and one other page of the "Bulletin of Hampden-Sidney College, General Catalogue of Officers and Students 1776-1906," published by the College, as it was reprinted in November 1908 in Vol. III, No. 4 of some unidentified publication, probably a journal or periodical. I tried PERSI for locating the article but it did not come up. Would anyone on this list happen to know what publication that might have been? Hampden-Sidney College is in Hampden-Sidney, Prince Edward County, Virginia. The names on the page I do have a copy of are from the 1850s and include: Ford, Fowler, Gardner, Hatcher, Hughes, Hanson, Johns, Jones, Jordan, Kelso, Knauff (mine), Lacy, McClanahan, McPhail, Marshall, Miller, Morgan, Morris, Morton, Payne, Pollard, Richardson, Seay, Speed, Spencer, Taliaferro, Tinsley, Venable, Walthall, Watson, Whitley, Williamson. For some of them there is additional information, other than the years they attended the College. Carolynn in CA

Paul, this is very interesting, indeed. I have had the opinion of most people, that the information of the following is NOT of the same person (Samuel Bird), primarly because he seems to have had a son born in the 1720 time frame, which marriage would not have been allowed an indentured servant. However, after reading this, I believe that this is the same person. What do you think? Here goes: The Complete Book of Emigrants 1700-1750, by Peter Wilson Coldham 929.3 A173 CoLb "A list of emigrants from surviving records in English Archives". p. 220. Sept. 17, 1718 Samuel Bird of St. Martin's, Worchester, Labourer, aged 19, bound to John Taylor to serve 5 years in VA. (CLRO:ATSM/57) (Corporation of London Record Office) Orange Co. VA Order Book 5 p. 234. March 22, 1749. Richard Lamb, Wm. Monroe, Samuel Bird and William Sims made oath that they were immediately imported into this colony from Great Britian, and Jane Morris and James Collins and Elizabeth Douglas from Ireland, in order for each of them to obtain a right to 50 acres of land in this colony, which rights they severally in open court assign over to Honorias Powell. PAUL, these two entries, of such widely spaced dates, seem to indicate that Samuel Bird's indenture was sold from John Taylor--and eventually was picked up and claimed by Honorias Powell. (Samuel Bird starts showing in Orange Co. VA records as early as 1736 in the Order Books. In addition, a Samuel Bird is in King and Queen Co., VA in 1734, witnessing a deed. I'm still looking for more information.) Marla

There are too many misconceptions among us about indentured servants, erroneous ideas giving rise to question after question having to do with determining when any particular servant arrived in the VA Colony. We all need to remember that in most instances we simply can not know anything about arrival here unless we have found that ancestor in the records, not here, but of the place from which he/she came. Almost never do our land patent records reveal WHEN that ancestor came. Indeed, the patent may have and often did issue many years after the arrival of the immigrant ancestor. How so? Because not only did it take a couple years at very best to perfect a patent after making application containing the names of the servants, but also because only in very rare circumstances did the person who claimed the headright ever pay any shipper or ship's master to bring anyone here. The business of moving servants was brisk, widespread and profitable in the 17th and 18th centuries. The fare for most servants to come here was paid for by old country entrepreneurs (or so ordered by courts which paid those entrepreneurs) who wanted to bring a boat load over, after which that entrepreneur here sold the headrights of those servants, sometimes even by going about the countryside peddling such, but more often through brokers here who also added a measure of profit to what the shipper had been paid and then resold the people. Much more often than not, it would have been silly and very poor business for a Virginia planter to take the risk of paying in advance for a shipper in Britain (or Germany or wherever) to bring, say, 10 people to his Southern plantation. Why? Because almost always the planter would have been buying a "pig in a poke", having never seen - examined - or conversed with the new servant, and even more importantly, as often happened, the servant might die during the passage and the planter would be out his investment. So it was that ships' captains, ships' owners, brokers and speculators of every color and stripe, usually operating out of the old country, advertised or otherwise got the word out that they intended to take a shipload of servants to "Virginia" (or wherever). Those poor folks who wanted to trade years of their life for the chance to come here searched out those shippers and made a deal for some number years of work to pay for the trip, often for themselves and all their family - wives and kids and whoever. All then waited for the ship to depart, suffered the hardships of the voyage and, once here, watched as their shipper sold their headrights to a broker or whoever else was in the market for such labor. Did some planters actually pay the shipper ahead of time? Of course, but only when that planter wanted to see to the passage of specific persons - family or friends. Those deals were few and far between however, and as said, most servants were unknown to the person who ultimately claimed land through the headright of that person. After buying the headright, the new owner here was free to sell that headright as and to whom he chose, and the servant then was obligated to serve out his/her term for that new owner. No better example of the system exists than that of Owen Griffith who bargained his headright to a ships captain in Bristol in 1657, arrived here not long thereafter almost surely, watched as his headright was sold to someone, following which in in 1666 - 9 years later! - the well known Virginian, Anthony Spiltimber, received a patent using Griffith's headright. After Spiltimber's patent, 2 more people used that same headright on different occasions, one usage in 1703, 4 full years after poor old Owen had died. Nugents writings are literally FULL of such examples. So, all should forever remember that the date of a patent tells you nothing whatever about when your ancestor arrived here, nor who first owned his/her headright, nor where that servant lived after arriving here. Enough. If you want more information, records, and evidence of this widespread practice, tell me privately and I will provide some sources. Paul

JUst thought I would update a request in case any new researchers are out there looking for same info I am. I am looking for info on my GG grandfather (William?) McKinney "Kinney" JOhnson b. 1798 in Surry Co., NC and d. between 1860-70 in Murray CO., Ga. HIs spouse was Sarah (McKinney?) b. @1805 in Surry CO., She may have been a sister to Rosanna/Rosamond McKinney who m. Churchill B. Tucker in about 1839 in Surry Co. and later went to Murray Co., Ga. also. In 1835 "Kinney" Johnson owned land on Beaverdam in Capt. Mears district. Owning land bordering his property was the following JOHNSON males whom I "suspect" may have been kin to him..KIMBRO (sp: Quinnett Pace), DRURY, and either CHARLES. or CALVIN. NOTE: I found a Wm. JOhnson m. Sarah McKinney in 1792 in Brunswick Co., VA. NOt sure if they could be parents of my "Kinney" I suspect it maybe possible since my "Kinney" has same first name of this William and also maiden name of Sarah(McKinney). The name JAMES is very prominent down thru the male JOHNSON line including me. My dad have 6 brothers and each of them named a son JAMES, not sure if this coincidental or havd some connection to the JOHNSON ancestry. any help would be appreciated. I have been working on this for over ten years now along with several other distant cousins with no luck. PLan to attend family reunion in sept. and would love to have new info to pass on. jcjohnson/Virginia

William and Sally MURRAY MAGET had a daughter named Mason. William was born before 1763 and died in 1829. Mason was born 1780-1790 per the NC 1830 & 1840 census.
