1734 Oct 3 Goochland Co. Va. William Matlock 190 acre new land on N. Side of James River W. side of Little Byrd Creek adj. Joseph Ballenger, Arthur Hopkins and Robert Horsely. Cavaliers and Pioneers by Hudgins Vol. F pg 70 Joseph Ballenger RESEARCH NOTE: Joseph Ballinger is from New Jersey: Joseph Ballinger is one of Nancy B's ancestorial Grandparents. Nancy does have a travel line on them and http://www.ba044ancestory.com/MatlockMedlock/WilliamMatlockSonofJohnl<http://www.ba044ancestory.com/MatlockMedlock/WilliamMatlockSonofJohnl>. Arthur Hopkins 1744, Arthur Hopkins, Gentleman, was charged with the duty of listing the tithables on the north side of the James River from Ballenger's Creek to Lickinghole Creek. (the upper branches of Byrd Creek are a few miles east of Ballenger Creek in present day Fluvanna). Included in his list of some four hundred residents were the consecutive names of Jn Woodey, [torn] Bankes, Wm Martin and Jn Curby Robert Horsely his lands go into Albemarle County andthen into Amherst Co. VA land records are hard to place in context with modern place names, however, I do believe that some of the Byrd Creeks and Little Byrd Creeks are now called Ballenger's Creek and Little Ballenger's Creek, now in Fluvanna Co, and the one east of Scottville Albemarle I think used to be called Byrd Creek and is now (since at least 1778 or so,) is also called Ballenger's Creek (this is where his sons were) it empties into the James at Warren. I have the coordinates for TopoZone for them if you would like them. Although I just typed in Ballenger Creek on their search, and you can print out maps. I printed out overlapping ones so could get more detail. Following the Rivanna River down to the James also clarifies just what was meant by "the north fork of the James" i.e., the Rivanna River, and sometimes the north James. The main Ballenger Creek empties into the Rivanna just south of the town of Palmyra, and the smaller creek into the larger one to the east. These were called Byrd when he took up the land in 1729. Not sure if you knew this or not in locating your many Byrd Creek locations. You are so helpful in passing on your group's land records, not much I can seem to do in return. Did you decide if you wanted any lookups of the many Johnsons in Wood's Albemarle book? Just let me know and will allot time for that.

John Addison Smith b.1810 or b.1808 by mid 1820s went to Todd Co Kentucky til 1830s then Tazewell co ILL til his death in 1844. He married a Cyntha Floyd also born Virginia. Profession farmer but siblings joined military. At least 9 Smith and Kemp relatives at Battle of Shiloh. GG grandfather Doc John Grigg Higgins Smith b.sept.1810-1857 Believe he spent time in Breckenridge Co KY before Macon Co Illinois. He is listed also as farmer -but referred to himself in doctor in 1850s Still havent ruled out that these 2 individuals were twins both have same date on grave markers. Im curious what may have made them move from Virginia Played out land? Washington's tax on making whiskey? All great to ponder.

Now thru Thursday, just post a message to this list with "ROLL CALL" and the applicable surname(s) in the subject if you want other to know who you are researching. Please only list those surnames who were in Amherst County, VA at some points. Mentioning the maiden name of the individual or their spouse might help as well. My DEAVER line was in the part of Amherst County which is now Nelson County around the time of the Revolutionary War. They lived in the Roseland area, which I visited a couple of years ago. I did locate some land records for them at the Amherst County Museum and visited the approximate region where they lived. William Deaver, Sr (1719-abt 1805) was the father who had about 8 sons and one daughter, all born in MD. It is believe three of the sons served in the Revolutionary War. William Deaver, Jr. was recognized by SAR/DAR as a private in the Virginia Militia and is buried in MS. His brother Richard (1768-1820) was my ancestor, who was too young to serve at the time. William Sr was married to Susannah Birchfield. There were Birchfields living near the Deaver land in Amherst County, so I assume they likely migrated from MD together. William and Susannah were married 1754 in MD, though. I believe the family likely came to VA around 1770. (The Deaver line arrived in MD from Scotland in 1657.) William Sr does show up in the 1783 VA head of household census, but not the 1784 census. They moved about that time to western NC, where several of the sons were among the founders of Buncombe County in 1792 and Haywood County in 1804. My particular line went to TN and GA around the 1850s and here to TX around 1877. Looking forward to some interesting narratives. Joe D.

Eastern Daylight Time, anitajoe1963@yahoo.com writes: My father's mother was a Massie from Nelson County. Her father was William Lee Massie who married Emma Lina Fitzgerald. His father was James Bradley Massie who married Merciful Campbell. James father was Zachary Massie. "Lina" was the daughter of Landon Fitzgerald (1853-1889) and Sarah Fitzgerald and Landon was the son of Jonathan Fitzgerald and Sarah "Polly" Fitzgerald. Yes, both Lina's mother and grandmother were Fitzgeralds by birth. I have never been able to find a relationship between the two families. William Lina moved back and forth between Amherst and Fayette Counties several times. The William was struck and killed by a car and Lina settled in Fayette County, WV.
