My name is WILLIAM FRANCIS STATON. CATHERINE DOVE WATSON ( b. Little Rock AR,1856, d. 1926, Decatur TX ) was my maternal greadmother. Her father, Rev. PATRICK SAMUEL GIDEON WATSON (b. Pendleton County, KY, b 1816, d 1889, McGregor TX, had gone to AR as a missionary from KY Baptists. I have seen both of these grave sites, and my mother and her siblings provided personal information and documentation. I have seen a book by PSG Watson in at the Southwestern Baptist Seminary, Ft. Worth. His father was JOSEPH WATSON, (b. 1788, Maryland, d. 1812. PSG's father was PATRICK WATSON and Patrick's father was James Watson who migrated to the USA from Ireland after the Revolution. He died in Harrison County KY and the will book indicates he had accumulated an considerable estate by 1816-1817. PSG's wife was Catherine Anne Oldham, and Oldham County KY was named for her family. She married GEORGE WILLSON CLARK, and their first son was GEORGE WATSON CLARK of La Grange, Oldham County, KY. I do not know if Rootsweb or Ancestry permit large attachments, so to avoid being found "administratively incorret" I am not sending more than a dozen pages of documents. If you want DATES AND DOCUMENTS and send me your direct email address, I will gladly send yu what I have. I have not started on the WATSON genealogy, until I get further into my genealogy and the almost endless ways of spelling my name -- STATON/STAYTON/STANTON/STATEN/STADOM/SLATON/ SLAYTON. My cousin collected the present documentation to qualify for DAR, so she was required to document as much as necessary to be recognized. William Francis "Bill" Staton wfstaton10@aol.com

E.W Wallace: I think this Mourning Harris is the daughter of James Harris and Mary Harris. See notes below: JAMES HARRIS of ALBEMARLE. He was a son-in-law of Robert Harris, as demonstrated in this abstracted deed: Louisa Co. DB A-443 21 Oct 1751 Robert Harris of Fredericksville Par., Louisa Co. For Natural Love and affection to my son, Christopher Harris, and son-in-law, James Harris, to son Christopher Harris: Negroes Jimmy , a man; Millington, a boy; Abby, a woman. To son-in-law, James Harris: 2 negro girls, Janney and Henriette. /s/ Robert Harris. Wit: Thomas Perkins, Tyree Harris. 22 Oct 1751 Acknowledged by Robert Harris. (Rosalie Edith Davis, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEED BOOKS A & B, 1742-1759 [Manchester, MO: 1977] p. 69) ************************************ According to Dr. Malcolm Hart Harris in A HISTORY OF LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA, "Appendix", p. 356, James Harris was of Huguenot Ancestry "and they (Mary Harris and her husband James Harris) reared their family in Albemarle." Since James was of Huguenot ancestry, it is unlikely he was of the same lineage as Mary Harris, daughter of Major Robert Harris. However, possibly he was a cousin of Mary's. ************************************* It is probable that the James Harris mentioned in these marriage records is the son-in-law of Robert Harris and Mourning Glen, being married to their daughter Mary Harris, as indicated in Malcolm Hart Harris, A HISTORY OF LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA, "Appendix", p. 355. More research is needed. According to his Albemarle Co. will, he died before September 1792. "Harris, James. 25 July 1792. December 1792. Sons: Thomas, Joel, James, Nathan. Daughters: Anna Haden, Mourning Maupin, Sarah Harrison, Susannah Burnley and Lucy Grubbs. Wife Mary Harris, all land not bequeathed to son Thomas Harris, land adjoining Capt. Robert Harris, decd. Exrs: sons Joel and James. Wit: B. Brown and William Spears (Page 165)" Brenda Clark Albemarle Co., VA

Dear Researchers, I am posting this to several message boards because of probable general interest in these colonial Virginians whose descendants went to Kentucky and kept on going west and south. Among my genealogical archives is a photocopy of some material about The Maupin Family taken from Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol 8, No. 2 (Oct 1900), pages 216 ff. Beneath the title is this word: (Communicated.) There is much material here about the Maupin family, but there are few dates and no places for the most part, making it most difficult to determine when these events/marriages occurred. There is much intermarriage of the Maupins with their neighbors--Dabney [also of Huguenot background], Jarvinan [a new name to me]; Gentry; and Harris. The marriages to Harris spouses, male and female, are of interest to me. Does anyone have dates or places of these marriages indicated in the following paragraph? And what is the parentage of the bride, Mourning Harris? I believe John Harris in the first quoted line is the son of Christopher Harris the elder, who migrated to Madison Co., KY ca 1787-1790. Mourning Harris is probably NOT the child of Christopher Harris. That daughter married Foster Jones, who migrated to Madison Co., KY, also, and Foster seems to have had a second marriage in Madison Co., KY to a widow Margaret Black as implied in the marriage of a stepdaughter named Black. The numbers assigned to various Maupins are those of the person(s) submitting the information and seemingly have no consistency. The preceding paragraph to this quoted one states that John Maupin [son of Daniel and Margaret Via Maupin] was married to Fanny Dabney. Fanny is described as the second daughter of Cornelius Dabney, or d'Aubigne, and Sarah Jennings, his wife. [I am omitting much of the Dabney references.] At any rate, Fanny's older sister *the eldest daughter* married Daniel, the brother of John Maupin. (Again, hardly any dates, but Cornleius Dabney reportedly married Sarah Jennings, his second wife, in April 1721.) Quote from page 217 [again with few dates or places] "[The issue of John and Fanny Maupin were]: Peggy married John Harris; Sally, married Wm. Jarvinan; 3. Daniel, married, first, Sally Jarvinan, second Patsey Gentry, third, Hannah Harris, nee Jamison; John, married Sally Crossthwait [some of the descendants of John Maupin claim that this was Sally Craig]; 5. Cornelius, married, first, Mourning Harris, second, Nancy Tomlinson, third, Mary Paul, fourth, Mary Ellis; 6. Thomas, married, first, Judith Cobb, second Peggy Maupin [daughter of his uncle William Maupin]; 7. William, married Jane Jamison; 8. Gabriel, married Susan Bailey; 9. Robert, married Mary McGhee; 10. Jennings, married Sarah Miller [daughter of his aunt Peggy Maupin, who married Robert Miller]; 11. Frances, married Wm. Shelton; 12. Carr, married Jane Burch; 13. Dabney [no record of his marriage, died a young man]. Comment 1: The comments in this article continue, but, again there are hardly any dates nor places--providing scant clues for genealogists of this century. Comment 2: I am looking at the index of Rosalie Edith Davis's Fredericksville Parish Vestry Book 1742-1787, Vol. I [Manchester, MO: Privately published, 1978] and see many of the surnames of the spouses are indexed. This book is NOT a register Fredericksville Parish of births, marriages, and deaths. That register is among the missing records of Virginia, it seems, but this vestry book deals with the business of the vestry--expenditures (naming names and giving dates) and processioning orders. Here is an excerpt of one of the processioning orders *at a vestry held for Fredericksville Prish 24th day of October 1759* (p 61) Ord. That James Harris and Gabriel Maupin do procession all the lands on North side the Buck elbow to the Extant of the County and so along the Ridge of Mountains to the Coty. line Northward down the County line to where it crosseth Doyls River down the same to Moremans River up Moremans River to Danl. Maupins Junr. and so to the Lower Point of the Bucks elbow. (Davis, p. 66) Later, Bucks Elbow seems to be in Albemarle Co. as found in this abstracted patent for Christopher Harris, 1770-71: 17 Aug 1770 - 234 A on the side of one of the Mountains in the Blue Ridge called Bucks Elbow. Patent No. 39, 1770-71, p. 10 Reminder: I am seeking information concerning the identity and/or parentage of Mourning Harris cited above. Who she is NOT: She is NOT the wife, Mourning Glen (?), of Major Robert Harris, who was a vestryman of Fredericksville Par. during this time period. She is NOT the daughter of Robert's son Christopher Harris the elder, who migrated to Madison Co., KY ca 1787-1790. That daughter Mourning married Foster Jones, who was one of the executors of Christopher's will. Appparently Mourning [Harris] Maupin did not live long after her marriage, and she may be but a dim memory if she had any descendants. Many of the surnames found in this Fredericksville Parish vestry book are found later not only in Louisa Co. but also in Albemarle Co. and Amherst Co. E.W.Wallace

Looking for info on the following family. Believe daughter Josephine married H. Dunn and lived in WV in 1900. Also believe daughter Lelia had a son out of wedlock who lived with sister Josephine and husband H. Dunn in 1900, WV. Son would have been my grandfather.

While searching the 1810-1820 tax census records, I came across a district called, "New York". Does anyone have any idea where the district of "New York" is located in Alb. Co., VA.

The "History and Genealogies" book by W.H. Miller is on ebay. I would never send this to a list, except for the fact that it is so old and may help someone in their family line. Taken from the page are the surnames heavily covered in the book. MILLER WOODS HARRIS WALLACE MAUPIN OLDHAM KAVANAUGH BROWN With Interspersions of Notes of the Families of DABNEY , REID , MARTIN, BROADDUS , GENTRY , JARMAN , JAMESON , BALLARD , MULLINS , MICHIE , MOBERLEY , COVINGTON , BROWNING , DUNCAN , YANCEY The url is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2903842169 Hope it helps someone at least know that it exists for later reference, Jamie

By coincidence I was looking at Wm Harris & Thos. Pollard in Bedford records late 1700's when your mail arrived. I had also begun to look in a book about loose Court Papers in Albemarle Co. by Weisiger. In 1770 folder there was mention of Christopher Harris who had Promissory note from Philip Thurman 10 March 1770 witnessed by Robert Harris and Benj. Thurman. In 1777 folder there was a complicated situation in Albemarle Chancery Court, apparently among various heirs of Henry Davis, decd in 1773 of Hanover Co. He had son Lewis Davis who (I think) had daughter Mary Harris; Hanover will of Henry Davis was witnessed by Overton Harris 24 July 1773; Overton Harris also returned an Inventory in Aug. of 1777. The index to this volume shows 27 entries for HARRIS i. e. Ben, Benjamin, Christopher, Jo., John, John Jr., Lee, Mary, Overton, Richard, Robert, William. for HARRISS; only Joseph Maybe this provides some new clues .... like Hanover for instance. But Hanover records are sparse.

Linda at BArnold147@aol.com asks: Is the Overton Harris who married Elizabeth Brockman December 18, 1806 in Albermarle Co., VA  related to the Christopher Harris family in anyway? Do you know who his parent's were? Response: I cannot answer your question except to give you some negative information: 1. There are many Overton Harrises in many generations, probably all related to some degree. 2. Christopher Harris the elder of Madison Co., KY (d. ca 1794-96) had a son named Overton Harris by his second wife Agnes McCord. However, that Overton Harris migrated with his father to Madison Co., KY ca 1787 or so (at least Christopher is on the personal property tax list for Madison Co. and also for Albemarle Co. on the tax lists for that year.) Overton married ca 1810 to Nancy Oldham, and he died testate in Madison Co. 1827. In the year 1786, one Overton Harris is a witness to a deed in Louisa Co., VA. Possibly he is related to the other Harris males whose names appear as both grantor and as witnesses. A correspondent tells me [not documented] that William Harris in the deed was married to a Henrietta Baker. Louisa Co. DB F-150-151 5 Oct 1786 William Harris & Hennaretta his wife of Louisa Co. to Manoah Lasley of same; 9 pds; 48 1/2 a. on north east side of Long Cr. bounded by lands of Menoah Lasley, William Harress & John Boswell. William Harris Elizabeth Harris Wit: Samuel Harris, James (X) Harris, Overton Harris 9 Oct 1786 ack. by William Harris & Elizabeth his wife. (Rosalie Edith Davis, LOUISA COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEED BOOKS E & F, 1774-1790 [Manchester, MO: Privately printed, 1983], p. 60) There is an earlier Louisa Co. DB E-267-268, 6 July 1778, in which an Overton Harris Junr. is a witness. It mentions *Robt. Harriss corner* and Cub Creek, suggesting that this Overton Harris is associated with Major Robert Harris about ten years previous to the cited deed, per Robert Harris's 1765 will filed in Louisa Co. However, Robert Harris did not name a son Overton Harris in his will. Perhaps this Overton Harris in 1786 is a nephew, but his parentage is unknown to me. Have you any idea who is the parent/father of the bride Brockman? Land records may reveal some information. Ruth and Sam Sparacio have abstracted & published some deeds and other records of Albemarle Co. You may want to view their catalog at <A HREF="www.antientpress.com">www.antientpress.com</A> There is a deed--really a bond recorded in a deed book--in which a Samuel Brockmn Junr and two others bind themselves to Patrick Henry, Esq., Gov. of VA on condition that David Thomson, Minister of the Gospel in the Baptist Church ... celebrate the rights of matremoney [sic].... It is in Louisa Co. DB F-38-39 dated 13 Sept 1785. Sometimes when a young man married (for the first time) his father would give him some land, but this is not a general rule. Sometimes the father of the bride, if her father were wealthy, would give her a slave or two.

Ruth and Sam Sparacio (books listed on <A HREF="www.antientpress.com)">www.antientpress.com)</A> have abstracted some Albemarle Co. records which may be useful in your research. I hope you untangle your roots. Harrises are a tough bunch to untangle. Brockman will be an easier name to research.
