    1. [VAALBEMA] AARON LEWIS b.3-6-1801
    2. Can anyone tell me what happened to this AARON LEWIS? March 6, 1801, Recorded in Albemarle Co, June 1st, 1801. Will of Robert Lewis of Fredricksville Parish, Louisa Co., son John Lewis land at North Garden sold by John to Hon. Wm. Nelson, made to John  as marriage portion;  son, Nicholas Lewis;  son Robert;  son Charles;  son William;  four daughters, Jane Meriwether, Mary Cobbs, Mildred Lewis, Sarah Lewis, daughter, Ann Lewis, now wife of John Lewis, land purchased of Capt. Christopher Clark. All his children now living, viz: John Lewis, Jane Meriwether, *AARON LEWIS* *, Nicholas Lewis, Mary Cobbs, Mildred Lewis, Robert Lewis (infant), Charles Lewis, William Lewis, Sarah Lewis, interest in 8,000 acres on Greenbriar in Augusta , his part of 100, 000 acres granted to Col. John Lewis of Augusta, testator et als.;  Also 200 acres in Albemarle patented to him 10th of March, 1756 joining John Linthers (Sinthers). Daughter, Elizabeth Barrett , deceased.  His children recieved legacy from Col Nicholas Meriwether. Son-in-law Maj. John Lewis, husband of Mildred of Spottsylvania . Thank you in advance for any help!  Mary Suggestion: If you are near an LDS family history center, there is a helpful tool (not foolproof) which MAY help you locate your missing ancestor(s) if he/she were alive after the censuses began, and if he/she was an adult. The tool is called AIS (Accelerated Indexing System). It is on hundreds of microfiche and is broken down by Searches, Search 1 being the earliest censuses and some tax lists to make up for parts of the lost 1790 census. These are indexes to all the US censuses through 1850 and for some western states, later than 1850. This tool is not foolproof. Experts say (as in THE SOURCE) that there is a high error rate, but if you find your ancestor and/or his male siblings listed, then you can get a handle on the migrations. If you can't find Aaron Lewis in the AIS, look for the other persons mentioned in this will. You may find Aaron lurking in that same neighborhood. Don't overlook the fact that the widow may have remarried (Ann Lewis as best I can make out your query.) You may want to look for guardianship records, as generally orphaned (at least by the father) children had guardians appointed to protect the property (not the child, necessarily). Frequently, when and if the mother remarried (quite common in early days as women were seldom allowed to handle their own property), the stepfather may have been appointed guardian. Also, she may have lived in an adjoining county. Sometimes finding a guardianship record (or many, as there was supposed to be an annual report) means turning page by page of court records. I see that the family history library catalog on <A HREF="www.familysearch.org">www.familysearch.org</A> had a good many order books (under court records) on film. You can order these films through your nearby LDS center. The cited website has a link to a list of over 3500 family history centers around the world. Also, there has been been published by Iberian Press some later (not many colonial marriages) marriages of Albemarle Co. You may want to try to borrow the book on interlibrary loan. See your public librarian for ILL (after you have tried to find the Iberian Press catalog online). It is indexed for brides. Incidentally, I must have copied your address wrong--AOL rejected it.

    1. [VAALBEMA] Need help - lost Email addresses and bookmarks in recent PC troubles
    2. Lisa Grimes
    3. To the list members and distant cousins, Recently... like so many others, I've had some "interesting" PC troubles where the main hard drive that I've used for quite awhile, is now inaccessible to me. This appears to be until the 2nd hard drive comes up to that level of programs and the subsequent updates. We've lost count as to what level..... My problems were NOT caused by any PC virus or worms... It was just caused by simple Install-Uninstall of programs that permanently modified the files.... along with a couple of hardware failures. Altho most of my data was able to be switched over to CD's... ahead of time, I'm finding that my addressbook and favorite bookmarks.... were NOT included. Eventually... I will figure out just exactly where I was, as I go back thru my CD files, but in the meantime... I'm a little lost here.... < GRIN > If you've been waiting for me to "reply" regarding something. PLEASE NUDGE ME. If we've communicated, say in the last six months or so, could you send me a very short email...... just to make sure that you're in my addressbook?? If you happen to see where we do connect... but haven't conversed yet, then feel free to send me a note. I'm always looking for "new to me" cousins. Geographical areas of research has been; Acadia - Colonial VA - Colonial NC and SC - Georgia - Alabama - Louisiana Kentucky - Tennessee - Texas - Maryland - Pennsylvania - Ohio - Indiana I'm certain that I'll miss a "few" of the SURNAMES that I've been working on ........ but here goes; MACON-WOODARD-MASSIE-MOSS-JOHNSON-PLEDGE-PLEASANTS-HADEN and assoc. lines RICE-STRATTON-McCALL-MOSBY-JOHNSON and associated lines THIBODEAUX-MELANCON(MELANSON)-BROUSSARD-MOSS-CAMPBELL-WHITE and assoc. lines ROSSER-WORTHING-LEFTWICH-VINSON-HURST-McDONALD and the associated lines. On my husband's lines; GRIMES-BROWN-POE(PFAU)-BEANBLOSSOM(BONNENBLUST)-JOHNSTON-LUDY(LOUDY) WARVEL-CHRISTIAN and associated lines. I've been working on such a wide base... following the leads that present, that I'm certain that there's just not enough room here to list them all.

    2. Albemarle was formed from Louisa Co. and Goochland Cos. in 1744, so your Hodges may be in one of the parent counties. This is from the index of Rosalie Edith Davis, Louisa County, Virginia Tithables and Census, 1743-1785 [Manchester, MO: Published by author, 1988] Hodges Richard, 10 Will., 39 William 21, 40, 50, 96 Wm. 28, 35 Mrs. Davis has abstracted many other records of Louisa Co. If you are interested in any of her books, her e-mail address is thedavises@sprintmail.com (W Davis) For her tax book, she used records from several parishes, some tithable lists in the Overton Papers at the Swem Library, College of William and Mary, as well as those from the Virginia State Archives. She also found some lists in a Louisa Co. Judgment file of Apr 1769. In other words, she did some careful research in compiling this book. E.W.Wallace

    1. [VAALBEMA] Fisher
    2. You wrote, I have a great grandfather Robert Fisher born 1805 in Albermarle. he must have been married twice. He was 36 years old when he married Elizabeth Mooney  in 1841 in Albermarle. In the  Bath County census 1850 it said he was born in Albermarle. Four of his Children was born in Albermarle. Frances born 1840 George born 1842 Sarah born 1845--------married Andrew J. Dennison James born 1848----------married Mildred Woodson Millie Ann born 1851 Bath Mildred born in Bath John Robert born in Bath. Susan born 1853 Bath Adeline born 1856 I would love to find out about any of these children. Suggestion: I bet some of those children born in the 1850s appear in the 1880 census which is online at <A HREF="www.familysearch.org">www.familysearch.org</A> It's a little tricky to use, but almost everyone is more clever than I at using the computer. The girls may be tough to research unless you know their married names. But look for the fellows. And recognize that someone whom you know as Benjamin Franklin .... may have been called either Ben or Frank or B.F. (or none of the above). You have to be clever about searching. And look for the Mooneys in the appropriate places (but they may have moved)!!! Good luck. E.W.Wallace

    1. [VAALBEMA] Re: [HH] Dalton-Harris
    2. I am sending this to several lists, as I know there is a good deal of interest in not only the colonial Harris family of Hanover, Louisa and Albemarle Cos., but in all their in-laws. Many of the younger generations of these families moved to Kentucky, particularly Madison Co. KY. I don't have a great deal of info on Rachel Harris. Malcolm Hart Harris (now deceased) wrote of the Harrises, and his latest findings were published years ago in The Virginia Genealogist. I'll see if I can find the reference to his articles. He compiled The History of Louisa Co., but the genealogies that he gives for the Harris family were flawed, and in later writings he corrected this. Here is all I have currently on Rachel Harris. I have a good deal more about her father, Major Robert Harris of Louisa Co., and sometimes of Albemarle Co., VA. Rachel Harris. The name Rachel Harris is given by Malcolm Hart Harris as one of the children of Robert Harris and his wife Mourning Glenn. To date her name is not found in deeds of Albemarle Co. However, the Daltons may have lived in an adjoining county. On the 1800 tax list for Albemarle Co., Fredericksville Parish, the following "Doltons" appear: Capn. William, Isom. More research is needed. The Harrises who remain in Albemarle Co. are not readily identifiable. (John Frederick Dorman, "Albemarle County, Virginia 1800 Tax List," THE VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST, Vol. 3, p. 6. ) Here is some information on William Dalton, most likely the husband of Rachel Harris. The deed, even though abstracted, seems to be pretty good proof that Rachel is the daughter of Major Robert Harris and his wife Mourning [said to be Glen or Glenn]. I am sorry I did not note the deed book number (or letter) in which these several abstracted deeds appear. You may be able to figure out which deed book by referring to the catalog on <A HREF="www.familysearch.org">www.familysearch.org</A>, consulting their index (online) and using the date given in the deed. WILLIAM DALTON. WIR2147 DB 3 ... 25 Nov 1751 I Robert Harris of the Parish of Fredericksville in County of Albemarle for divers good causes and considerations me thereunto moving but more especially for the natural love and affection I have and beareth my Son in Law William Dalton and to his heirs two negro slaves to wit Rhodo a girl and Sampson a Boy and their Increase.. Robert Harris Presence Thomas Walker, Mildred Walker (Deeds adapted from Ruth & Sam Sparacio, DEED ABSTRACTS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, DEED BOOK 3, 12 FEBRUARY 1761-9 AUGUST 1764 [McLean, VA: The Antient Press, 1988], p. 33) This deed is one executed by Samuel Dalton and his wife to their son William Dalton. 12 January 1762 between Samuel Dalton Senr. and heir Wife Anne of one part and their Son William Dalton, of the other part all that piece of land lying in the county of Albemarle and formerly Louisa and Fredericksville Parish on both sides of the North Branch of the North Fork of James River above the Little Mountains containing estimated 404 acres ... survey taken up and pattented by said Samuel Dalton..

Wit: Giles Rodgers and Beasley Meredith. (J. Estelle Stewart King, ABSTRACTS of WILLS, INVENTORIES, AND ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA, 1748-1800, p. ) Dalton was in Albemarle Co. in 1762. His name appears in DB -p. 190, 8 Jul 1762 Jno. Mitchell, Great Britain, and Andrew Shepherd, Orange Co., factor, and merchant, to Wm. Dalton for 30 pds, 277 acres adj. Jno. Enniss. From subsequent deeds on the same date, recorded on adjoining pages, we learn that these same parties bought other lands in Albemarle Co., probably from Dalton's neighbors. The grantors were Gabriel Maupin, William Keaton, Jr. (see biographies of Robert Harris, Jr. and of Christopher Harris.) Other Daltons in Albemarle Co. William Dalton was the son of Samuel Dalton. Samuel patented land in Louisa Co. on the same date, 12 Jan 1746/47, that Christopher Harris patented land in that same county. They were not near neighbors, it seems. (Dennis Ray Hudgins, CAVALIERS & PIONEERS, V. V, p. 304) In Albemarle Co. Wills & Deeds 1748-1752 there is reference in a deed 1752 to "Robert Dalton's old field," north side of Rivanna by Lynch's Ford, line of Merriwether, John Clark's moiety. Some Louisa Co., VA deeds show deeds of Saml. Dalton of Fredericksville Par., Louisa Co., wherein his wife Anne relinquished her dower. (DB A-279-180, 23 Jun 1747) At a Fredericksville vestry held probably in 1767, there is indication of the location of Dalton's land. "Order'd that Isaac Davis and David Spradlin do procession all the lands the upper side of the River between the Road Crossing at Wm. Daltons the Orange line and upward to Wm. Goldens." (Rosalie Edith Davis, FREDERICKSVILLE PARISH VESTRY BOOK, 1742-1787, Vol. I [Manchester, MO: privately printed, 1978], p 85) Several Daltons filed Revolutionary "Publick Claims." Those from Albemarle were David, Samuel, and William Dalton. Those from Pittsylvania were David and John. There was a William Dalton from Frederick Co. 1783 At a vestry held for Fredericksville Parish at Charlottesville on the first day of March 1783: Present Doctor Thomas Walker, Isaac Davis, Nicholas Lewis, William Sims, Doctor George Gilmer, James Minor, William Dalton & Robert Mechie, Vestrymen. (Davis, Fredericksville Par, p. 122) At that vestry meeting, William Dalton was one of those ordered to "possession" the lands between the river by William Carrs and up the road to Durrets lower line, thence a Cross to Isaac Davis's lower corner and so down to the beginning. (Davis, p. 126) The 1787 tax list for Albemarle Co., VA lists the following Dalton males: "Self" refers to person charged with tax. Col 1=No. of males above 16 and under 21 Col 2=Black above 16 Col 3=Black under 16 Col 4=Horses, mares. colts & mules Col 5=Cattle In this transcription the name is spelled Dolton, not Dalton; however, these are the only ones of this name in Albemarle Co. Dolton, William (Capt.) self 2-7-7-11-16 Dolton, Samuel William Dalton [person charged with tax] Dolton, William self 0-0-0-2-5 Dolton, Isham William Dalton [person charged with tax] Dolton, We lack information on the Daltons; however, it seems that some descendants may have migrated to Madison Co., KY as the names of Daltons appear in the early marriage records. One or two appear earlier in Caswell Co. deeds. Possible descendants in Madison Co., KY were: 1. Isham/Isom Dalton (wf. Elizabeth), Marriage records seem to indicate he was: a. Father of Caty Dalton (m. 1818 to James Lainhart; David Dalton, bm.) b. Father of Lucy Dalton (m. 1812 to Jesse Todd) c. Possible father of David Dalton (see a. above) d. Father of Sally Dalton (m. 1822 William F. Daughterty; Elizabeth Dalton, mother of bride gave consent, indicating Isham was probably deceased) 2. Polly Dalton, possibly a sister of David Dalton; he served as bm to her marriage Jeremiah Todd 1817. (Comment: A number of Dalton males are found in Deed Bk 1 of Pittsylvania Co. ca 1768-1769: John Dalton, Robert Dalton, Jr., David. Refer to Lucille C. Payne and Neil G. Payne, PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VIRGINIA DEED BOOKS 1, 2, AND 3 (SLC 975.5665 R2p) E.W.Wallace You can hardly study the Daltons without studying/researching their neighbors, as they were either already intermarried or would be in future generations. Therefore, you may want to consider buying Mrs. Davis's books on Hanover and Louisa Cos. rather than trying to read old handwriting on films, and sometimes the films, some of which were filmed in the 1940s, are VERY poor quality. Mrs. Davis has been a careful researcher, even searching/compiling records not only at the Library of Virginia, but also at William and Mary College. Her books are rather low-cost for genealogical books. Her e-mail thedavises@sprintmail.com (W Davis)

    1. Re: [VAALBEMA] Fisher
    2. Robert Fisher, b.1807 in VA, was a Head of Household in E.D. 29, Millboro, Bath, Virginia, of the 1880 Federal Census, along with his wife, Elizabeth, and son, John R. You can find the full entry, free, at: http://www.familysearch.org/ by clicking on the census link in the left margin of the page. I found Robert by putting just his name in the regular, darkened search boxes (not as head of household) and choosing the birth range of +/- 5 years on either side of 1805, just in case the birth year was wrong or he was no longer a head of household. If you have any information about the children of any of Robert's children, you can probably locate most of their households the same way, including the females for whom you have married names.

    1. [VAALBEMA] Maplewood Cemetery-Downtown Cville
    2. Hi Albemarle Gang, You know me....I'm the one who's posted in the past about the Preservation and Historical Study of Maplewood Cemetery in Downtown Charlottesville, est. 1827. Visit: http://members.aol.com/SueW601/concern.html I desperately need the help of those that reside in Albemarle/Charlottesville. I need folks that normally visit, or will do so, the library in search of Daily Progress Obits, the Historical Society or LDS for family research, County and City Court House Archives, and UVa Special Collections. While researching your own family I am hoping you will spend a second or two to gather information needed for this important preservation/history project. There are many graves at Maplewood that appear in city records but have no headstone anymore. I want to prove to Parks Division, in charge of maintenance, that these graves exist. Even worse....there are many graves at Maplewood that exist but the shoddy City records do not record them.(usually an obit helps identify these graves) . There is no way that I can research every obit or family history. I need the help of others. Please contact me if you are willing to assist in researching at UVa, Daily Progress microfilm, ACHS, etc. Sue Weber 977-5179 Or email at SueW601@aol.com
