Robert (from Dinwiddie) and Levinia (Lavinia? from Chesterfield) were in Amelia County when their first child was born, about 1843. Please post any information or contact me directly at debbylynnr@care2.com Thanks!

Does anyone know where the Jackson homestead is called "The Cottage" in Amelia County???

Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/10733 Surname: Davidson, Davison ------------------------- My John and Ann Davison (Often spelled as Davidson by second parties, but original signatures of John and his sons used the Davison spelling.) purchased 100 acres of land from James Taylor of K&Q Co, VA on 6-July-1725. At the time, my Davisons lived in the part of Sposylvania that became Orange Co (near the present town of Orange). Also, a William Davison lived in the vicinity. Relationship to my John, if any, is not known -- although from examining records, William appears to be much older than my John. John and Ann Davison named their first son William. In 1742, John and Ann Davison sold their Orange County land and moved to Amelia Co, VA (part that became Prince Edward Co). John and Ann Davison had following children, with estimated birth year - probably plus or minus a year or two, as named in order of John's 1754 Will: William b: c1725 Married a Sarah Bowman and he died in Prince Edward Co, VA. Richard b: c1727 Married a Mary (family name unk although some claim Ewing, there is no documentation to support that notion) he died in Prince Edward Co, VA. Widow Mary and decendants moved to Fayette Co, KY. Joshua b: c1729 Married Sarah "Sally" Owen and he died in Prince Edward Co, VA. Decendants mostly moved to Fleming and Mason Co, KY and to Maury Co, TN. Daniel b: c1731 Married a Nancy (family name unk) moved to Anson Co, NC and was there around 1800. Elizabeth b: c1733 Married James Atkins in 1756 and she later moved to Anson/Montgomery Co, NC. George b: c1735 Married 1st Sarah Atkins in Prince Edward Co, VA; 2d married Brazilia Atkins in Amelia Co, VA, and moved to Anson/Montgomery Co, NC. Ambrose b: c1737 Apparently married dau of Robert Atkins (her first name unk) and he moved to Anson/Montgomery Co, NC. Atkins wife was deceased before 1777 when Robert Atkins made out his will. Ambrose and "Atkins" wife had a daughter, Francis "Frankey" Davison who married Thompson Harris in Charlotte Co, VA 1780. Am particularly interested in tracing my John and Ann Davison back beyond the 1725 facts. There is so much misinformation on the internet, that I have returned to the "basics" of research based on factual records. But, lack of early records in Virginia for the "burned" counties is hampering progress.

They reportedly moved from Amelia Co. Va., to Spartanburg Co, SC in late 1700's or early 1800's. It is believed that one of the Belchers who came to SC was a Robert Belcher and that he fought in the Revolutionay War. I am trying to trace my ancestors.

Fellow Rob*son/Shelton/Southside VA Researchers: I recently realized that the DAR Library has several microfilm reals of Amelica Co Wills, so I made copies of the Will of Henry Robertson who died between the date the will was written, 27 Oct 1781, and proven 27 June 1782. I haven't had a chance to get his inventory yet. If any one has a better death date I'd love to have it. He was the son of Christopher Robertson who d. 1749 in Amelia Co (as shown in land patents), whose wife is frequently listed at Sarah, but at his death he was married to an Ellenor, who dies not long after and their probates end up being administered jointly. The will does not mention by name all the "Small Children" of Henry's second wife Tralucia Stegar, widow of a Greenwood, but probably mentions all the sons. Also not mentioned is probably eldest daughter by first marriage Chloe who married Abraham SHELTON, son of Crispen Shelton and Letitia. Probably oldest son Christopher is mentioned, but not given any bequests but probably received his share before the will was written. I desend through daughter Susannah who married Vincent SHELTON, brother of Abraham Shelton. They and at least Henry's son Christopher migrated to Pittsylvania Co. VA Re the various Drury Robertsons, I note with interest that the land in the will in Charlotte Co Va, adjoins that of a Drury Stith. I have not studied these sons of Henry closely, but I know there is alot of confusion about the various Amelia Co Robertsons (well about alot of the Southside Robertsons for that matter), especially regarding the various Christophers, Nathaniels, and Warning Peter Robertsons. After the will I will paste in two early emails on the Robertson list regarding this particular family to provide a little background. One is my own from 1998, and a second comes from one of Shirley's posts from the Robertson reports in 1998. I have tried to transcribe this faithfully, and my reading of some of the names differs from that of the person who did the original abstract for the will in the published volumes. There is virtually no punctuation, and the spelling is inconsistent. If any of you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. I know I don't have much of a future as a transcriber :-) It's darn hard work. There is no copyright involved here, so feel free to pass it on as you wish. I hope this helps someone out there. I apologize for the cross-posting, but there has been interest in these folks on several lists. My best regards, Janet (Baugh) Hunter, formerly at janmim@aol.com Will of Henry Robertson, 1782, Amelia Co VA Transcribed from the microfilm of Amelia Co Will Book:3 page 123-5 Henry Robertson, 27 Oct 1781 -- Proven: 27 June 1782 In the Name of God Amen.

Shirley ___________________ ___________________ FROM MY EMAIL OF Sep 23 1998 Notes: Comment, I don't think any of us believe that Christopher was the immigrant, but probably descended from one of the Prince George Co VA Robertsons. Fellow Southside/Robertson/Robinson Researchers: I found the following information in a very large bound volume labelled Robertsons at the DAR library in Washington DC. There is no table of contents,no index, it includes several other families as well. It contains the sort of typewritten linneage material that the DAR has in quantity for families. It also has handwritten maps showing where many of the Robertsons below had land, businesses, graves, etc. To followup my post on Sunday, I believe my Robertsons (Susannah who married Vincent Shelton) are here and would like to correspond with any of you who might have information or ties with the following. The book has information showing a Christopher Robertson (d. 1749 -- Immigrant status unknown), with a wife Sarah. They had (at least) these children: Henry, Christopher Jr, Edward Robertson (father of George Cabiness), Nathaniel, and Mary. [JH note 2001 -- in the tax records of Amelia Co, mid 1700s, there is also consistently a Higdon Robertson on the same lists as Henry, Christopher, Edward and Nathaniel.] It says that my Henry Robertson (1708=1782) wed Susannah (also sometimes called Anna and Ann in deeds)...(presumably mother of all his children) and 2nd by Amelia county marriage bond, 4/1/1762 Tranlusia Stegar (widow of...Greenwood). His will dated 1781 mentions several children (order of birth unknown): Rev. Warning Peter Robertson m. Lucy Mackie 1801, Dorothy Robertson m.Thomas Pollard - 11/1/1788; Susannah Robertson m. Vincent Shelton, 1777, emigrated to Pittsylvania Co. VA; Amy Mariah Robertson; David Robertson, Daniel Robertson,William Henry Robertson, Edward Robertson, John Robertson,Christopher Robertson b. 1746 (and the focus of most of what follows in the book, but there are questionmarks noted). The text does not mention Chloe Robertson (who married my Vincent's older brother Abraham), <END>
