Does anyone know anything about a William FRANKLIN listed on the 1812 Pay Roll of Capt. John P. GRAY's Company? I am looking for some connection to my Henry W. FRANKLIN and William FRANKLIN. The others listed that I know of so far are Henry T. FRANKLIN, and Tarlton FRANKLIN. I still need page 73 of the payrolls to find out if there are any more FRANKLINS. Jeri

Regarding: "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy," ... "Does anyone know if records of individuals were included in this book-- if they were not either Quaker themselves, or married someone who was a Quaker?" Carol That's happened to me too. I believe that the listings were community-wide and were not restricted to Quakers. Jim Brown Venice FL

A big thank you to all who responded to my question regarding Hinshaw's Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy. I appreciated each and every response and obtained the exact information I was seeking. Thanks again for all your help and support. Carol

Dear Freddy, Your email query touched a number of lines of interest to me and for convenience I am copying this reply to the Bedford, Franklin, and Wright mailing lists as well. The Ann (Wright) Watts and Mary (Wright) Watts in your listing were daughters of 1814 (year of death) John Wright of Bedford County, Virginia (place of death) and his wife Mary (Pace) Wright and granddaughters of John Wright (Goochland County Carpenter) and his wife Judith (Easley) Wright. Ann (Wright) Watts died before 1804 and I have three children for her: Mary, Benjamin, and John. I have no children for Mary (Wright) Watts and did not know of Bejamin Watts' second marriage in 1784. If you have any additional information on these two Watts lines, I would much appreciate having it for addition to my materials. The Thomas Wright in your listing was 1845 Thomas Wright of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, a son of 1814 John Wright of Bedford County. He married first Charity Ballenger Hilton in 1790 in Bedford County, Virginia, with Benjamin Watts as his surety, and married second Sarah Elizabeth Pullen in 1792 at Bedford County, Virginia. Over The Mountain Men by Worrell mistakenly listed the second marriage as in 1785, rather than in 1792, because the original return did not have a date on it and was placed in the records near other marriages of that earlier date. 1845 Thomas Wright of Pittsylvania County in 1792 purchased 233 acres of land on Enoch's Creek from George & Martha Sinkler. 1845 Thomas Wright sold that 233 acres of land in 1800 and moved to Pittsylvania County. The John Grant from Loudoun County, Virginia, may be connected to another Wright family. There is an 1809 William Wright of Franklin County, Virginia, who the evidence inidcates married Mary Grant, daughter of William Grant the younger from King George County, Virginia. 1809 William Wright resided in Fauquier County, and then moved to Bedford County, Virginia by 1772, in a part that later became Franklin County. His wife Mary (Grant) Wright has been sometimes identified as Mary (Williams) Wright, based on a mistaken interpretation of a deed in Fauquier County, but the evidence to date makes a compelling case that she was a Grant. Roger Morris has done an excellent job of explaining the error derived from this deed. The deed was from William and Mary Wright and David and Betty Williams and was a sale by the Wrights and merely a quitclaim of any interest in the title by the Williams. The Williams participation in the deed was necessary because of a break in the chain of title of the land in a prior sale. As an additional association of Wrights and Grants, a John Wright and a Wingfield Wright were witnesses to Fauquier County deeds by a John Grant of King George County and a John Wright and Wingfield Wright also showed up in Bedford County in the early 1780's. The John Grant from Loudoun County in your listing was probably related to these Grants from Fauquier and King George Counties and to the family of 1809 William Wright of Franklin County, Virginia. As to your direct question on the land, I suspect that you are right in thinking that the sale by John Grant and Wayman Sinclair was of property inherited by them or their wives from a parent. If the will gave the land to the children, there sometimes was no further order of court allocating the land to them; the will was considered the recorded document of title transfer. But if the will did not give the land to the children, then there may just be in the probate, deed, or court records an order for the division and allotment of that land. Or a final possibility, like the deed from Mary (Grant) Wright mentioned above, it may have been a deed from one of the parties and simply a quitclaim from the others to clear title to the land. Probably the only way to be certain would be to trace out the metes and bounds of the land, locate that land on a geological survey map, and then trace the ownership both backwards to the original patent to determine the chain of ownership. Hope this is of some help to you and I will be happy to exchange information on any of the above families that are of interest to you. Best wishes, Robert N.

Hi, Here is my query - John Grant and his wife Lydia sold 192 acres of land to George Simmons on June 25, 1792 on Enoch's Creek in Bedford Co., Va. near Thomas Wright and William Scott. But listed as co-sellers were Wayman and Mary Sinclair. Why were the Grants and Sinclairs both be partners in 192 acres, unless they were somehow related? My guess is that the wives were related. Here is what I have for Mary Watts' family: Bedford County, Virginia Will Book 2, Page 158. Will of Edward Watts: March 12, 1793 Wife: Elizabeth Daughters: Ann Scott Sons: William Elizabeth Snell Benjamin Milly Richards John Mary Sinclair Sarah Huddleston Witness: Joseph Brown Charles Simmons Isaac Sinclair Edward and Elizabeth WATTS children: 1.John WATTS 2.William WATTS married Ann WRIGHT July 23, 1792 in Bedford Co. (dau. of John Wright) 3.Benjamin WATTS b. 1764 mar. 1st Mary WRIGHT Dec 21, 1786 in Bedford Co. (dau. of John) Ben 2nd married Eilzabeth KEY Nov 18, 1784 Bedford Co. (dau. of John Key and Agnes Witt) 4.Ann WATTS married Edward SCOTT 5.Elizabeth WATTS married ______ SNELL 6.Milly WATTS married ________ RICHARDS 7.Mary WATTS married Wayman SINCLAIR 8.Sarah WATTS married Samuel HUDDLESTON Jan 26, 1784 Bedford Co. (son of Daniel Huddleston and Rachel Martin) ============================================================= Was John Grant's wife, Lydia a Watts? or a Sinclair? John Grant left Loudoun Co., Va. by 1783/4 and was in Botetourt Co. when he first bought Bedford Co. land (100 acres on Enoch's Creek). I have no record of John and Lydia buying the above mentioned 192 acres, but they were partners in selling it with Wayman and Mary Sinclair. HELP!! Thanks.

I have a question that I am hoping someone can answer for me. In Hinshaw's "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy," (for Virginia), there is a list of marriages performed in Bedford Co., Va. for the surname of WHITE. I had always assumed that this was a list of all the people in the county with that surname-- not just Quakers. My reasoning for this was that many of these names did not appear any where else in this book-- only on the marriage list. Does anyone know if records of individuals were included in this book-- if they were not either Quaker themselves, or married someone who was a Quaker? I have found names of people who were "removed" from the records because of marriage to someone outside of their faith. (The non-Quaker spouse's name was listed). Any help here would be appreciated.

Hi all, There is an old family cemetery in Goodview where Routes 616 and 757 meet called the Henry Loyd Cem. (#1220). James Edward Loyd and his wife, Virginia Floyd (Kefauver) Loyd are buried there. So is John Kefauver, Virginia's Father and several other members of that family. There is also a grave of a child marked "Jacob H. Clement", youngest son of E. C. and M. E. Clements. I have no idea who this child is. How does he connect to the Loyds? As I remember he was about 3 when he died. Does anyone have any clue as to who he is? Any help appreciated.
