Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/447 Surname: Robertson ------------------------- Amelia County: My wife linda and I had the opportunity to visit at Nottoway Court house and Clerk`s office. There was a register where people had been there to research family names. Luther Robertson from Berkely Springs, West Virginia in 1993. Thomas W. Howard 353 N Mooreland RD. Richmond VA. 23229 in 1997 for Robertson and John R and Martha Foulkes 2405 S Ward Carathersville, Mo. 63830 for Foulkes and Robertson family in 1988. There at the court house was the 1850 census published by Emma Robertson Matheny at 1718 Glenview road Richmond, Virginia dated 2/22/67. On page 12 was the listing for David G. Robertson 34 Overseer born in Amelia, Martha W. 33 wife born in Chesterfield. Mary Susan 6 born in Chesterfield, Martha E. 5 born in Chesterfield, William D. 2 born in Nottoway, Alexander 1 born in Nottoway. We also visited ST. Mark Methodist Church on Hungrytown road and found the Graves of many early 1800`s Robertson`s. Martha W. Robertson wife of David G 4/18/1818, David O. Robertson born 1854 Thomas Robertson born1861 Permelia A. Robertson born 1828 Anner T. Robertson born 1851 America Robertson born 1860`s The cemetary was well Kept and the Church was established in 1832. I was told that pre civil war birth records were in the Nottoway Library. though I was not able to view them. I was only there about 2.5 hours and was thankful for the help I received in the Clerk`s office. I can`t confirm that william D. Robertson is my Greatgrandfather who moved to Lexington Mississippi after the civil war but his age is the right period and he was the only William D. in the 1850 Census. I continue my search for William Daniel Robertson. If anyone has any information please post it at this site so there will be a permanent record. Thank You, Clyde
