I don't know if any of them did or not. My Cannadays were, of course, Kennedys, and my however many grgrandfather had only one son who did not, as far as anyone knows, have kids. They pretty much stayed in the Bedford, Franklin Co areas. Thanks for the interest. We're probably all related that came from that area to some extent......and, of course, all very nice....... **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Just to follow up on your post, I've notcied MANY people were married on Christmas Day, and thought how odd! I'm sure they knew the minister would be there. In general, legal age was 21 as it is now. Sometimes you see consent for males as well as females. But I'm betting the people who ventured farther west initially are the hardest to trace, based on lack of records. My impression.... is that if people had some money and stature in their VA communities, they made certain to follow THE LAW, ... sometimes recording deeds & wills in multiple counties to be sure they covered all bases. Good Grief! ...as fast as counties were changing, I don't know how they even kept up with where they lived. You have to remember we're talking about people, even the well-to-do, who did not have indoor plumbing and had to keep the fire burning 24/7 or else take a few potatoes over to a neighbor and borrow some. I honor them all, we would not be here if they hadn't lived their freedom as they did Sherrie

Sally, Did any of your CANNADAYS come to Ok.? I know a Buford CANADAY in southeastern Ok. Know nothing about his family, but I just thought that was a pretty unusual name. He's a wonderful guy, too.

Linda, could you, at your convenience, check to see if there are CRANEs, or CRAIN/Es in the Blankenship book. I also have some CREWS in my line. Thank you very much.

Hi Linda - This John Gray in Bedford Co. is interesting to me because he fits the profile of my John whom I believe was previously married before his marriage to Susanna Thompson in 1816 in Monroe Co.. However, I have absolutely no evidence he was ever married before, but since he was about age 31 when he m. Susanna, it seems logical to me he was married previously and his wife died or they were divorced. I am descended from John's last wife - Julia Ann Sherman. Susanna d. in the 1830's here in Union Co., OH where they lived all their lives. I have been tracking the Bedford Gray family for years. This John Gray who m. Amy Crews was b. ca 1785 (same as my John) and d. bef Aug 1833 in Bedford Co. (22 years before my John d. in Union Co., OH.) Your John's father was William Gray. There are no William Gray's in my line as far back as I can go, which would be unusual if there was a direct descendant named William among the ancestors. The given name George appears several times in my John's family, either as a first name or middle name (4 times in 2 generations.) There is no indication this John 'Jack' Gray ever left Bedford Co., and I have positive proof of my John's life, death and burial here. I have photographed his grave and have several court records and his dc indicating he came here from VA. He appears in the 1825 tax records here. I have your Jack's children and they are all different from my John's children, all born much earlier than my John's children. I have a few records on your Jack in Bedford Co., generated long after my John came to OH. For example, I have your Jack in the census in Bedford Co., from 1810-1830. I just realized that I have viewed parts of Gayle Blankenship's book several years ago, courtesy of my correspondent LaMona Phillips, who posted data on Rootsweb.com. ('My Waldron Descendants of Virginia.') Thank you for trying to help.. I appreciate it.

Any information regarding Laura V. Burnett, b: abt 1864 Franklin Co., married on 7 Sep 1882 in Roanoke to James Mathew Clark of Bedford Co.? Possible parents - Zebedia Burnett and Martha Ann Prater, d/o Mary. I can't seem to locate anything other than an 1860 census for Zebedia Burnett. And then an 1880 census for Laura living with her mother. Would appreciate anything regarding any member of the Burnett or Prater families.

In reponse to John Gray's request, there is several pages on Grays beginning w/ Wm Gray w/ emphasis on the John "Jack" Gray born between 1780-1790, died before Aug 1833 in Bedford.

I purchased my book of "Some Families of Bedford and Washington Counties and Orange County, North Carolina" by Gale K. Blankenship from him in 2000 It has his address as : Gayle K. Blankenship, 24 Roberts Landing, Pequosen, Virginia 23662 - 1026 It has all the family of my late husband, plus his name in the book. I don't know if he is still alive or if he has any more books for sale. May I suggest that you write him concerning this.

This is very good information. Did you find anyone named Baughan/Baughn or Vaughan/Vaughn with this family of Tucker's? In Cumberland Co. there was a Tucker Baughan or Vaughan. There is a good possibility his mother was a Tucker. ----- Original Message ----- From: Charlotte Brown To: vabedfor@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [VABEDFOR] A little more Tucker and Woodson I just noticed in the "Tuckers in Bedford" email stream, references of the Woodson and Tucker connection. I did some genealogy research for a relative and he is a Woodson, related to the John Woodson that came to Jamestown with Gov. Yardley. Below is a snip-it of information from that genealogy book. If you would like more info I would be glad to provide it. Charlotte ************************* 1. JOHN WOODSON, JR.-1 [1, 2, 3, 4]. His birth Abt. 1632 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Fleur de Hundred also known as Flowerdew on the outskirts of Jamestown Fort, south side of the James River about 30 miles above Jamestown.) [5, 6]. John's death Oct 1684 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown). Burial Oct 1684 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Fleur de Hundred) [7]. John was also Known As was "Tub" Woodson. Occupation in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Planter in Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [8]. It was in Fleur de Hundred that the family lived at the time of the massacre by the Indians on April 19, 1644 when John and his younger brother, Robert were saved by the courage of their mother. The father, John Sr. died in the Indian raid. John and his brother, Robert were in the 1679 tithables (census) at Curles, Henrico Co., Virginia with a plantation on the north side of James River, which was a short distance above Fleur de Hundred. John and his descendants bore the nickname of "Tub Woodsons" and his brother, Robert and his descendants bore the nickname of "Potato Hole Woodsons". JOHN WOODSON, JR. married SARAH TUCKER [7, 9, 10]. Her birth Abt. 1635 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). Her death Bet. 1657-1659 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). Their marriage 1654 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [11]. They had 2 children: JOHN WOODSON III and ROBERT WOODSON. Relationship Notes: John Jr.'s will was dated Aug 20, 1684 and proved Oct 1, 1684. In the will, John identified Sarah by using the term "wife,A" however, in subsequent legal documents, Sarah was defined as "relict of John Woodson, decd.A" The will does list John's sons, John and Robert; John's grandchildren (Robert's children): Jane and Samuel; John's brother, Robert and Robert's 4 youngest sons (Robert, Richard, Joseph, and Benjamin), and his "Couzin" [sic] John Woodson. (In the 17th century, the term "cousin" meant nephew. The rational for naming Robert's eldest son separate from Robert's other children could be because John was married with a family while the other children were still considered minors.) JOHN WOODSON, JR. & SARAH TUCKER's children: i. JOHN WOODSON, III [11, 2, 4]. His birth Abt. 1655 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [2]. He married Mary Tucker. They were married Abt. 1677 in James, Virginia, USA [2]. He died Aft. 01 May 1700 in James, Virginia, USA [12]. Residence in Henrico, Virginia, USA. ii. ROBERT WOODSON [11]. He was born Abt. 1657 in James, Virginia, USA. In 1684, Robert's father died. Robert and his children, Jane and Samuel, were listed in his father's will dated Aug 20, 1684. Based on the information in the will, Robert was married before 1684. Robert received a servant boy and an Indian girl, 60 acres joining "Couzin" John Woodson's property and another 100 acres on the north side of Bailey's Brook. All the land could not be sold and was to remain in the family. JOHN WOODSON, JR.'s 2nd marriage was to SARAH BROWNE [7, 9]. Her birth Abt. 1632 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). Her death Abt. 1692 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). JOHN WOODSON, JR. & SARAH BROWNE. Their marriage Abt. 1660 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). JOHN WOODSON JR. and SARAH BROWNE had no children. Generation 2 2. JOHN WOODSON, III-2 (John Woodson, Jr.-1) [11, 2, 4]. His birth Abt. 1655 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [2]. He died Aft. 01 May 1700 in James, Virginia, USA [12]. Residence in Henrico, Virginia, USA. General Notes: In 1684, John Jr.'s father died. John Jr. was the executor of his father's will dated Aug 20, 1684 and he received all remaining property that was not identified. JOHN WOODSON, III married MARY TUCKER (daughter of Samuel Tucker & Jane Larcome [11, 2, 4]). Her birth Bet. 1660-1670 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [2]. She died Abt. 1710 in James, Virginia, USA [2]. General Notes: Mary's father, Samuel was the Captain ("Master") of the Ships "Vine Tree" and "Seaflower". Upon Samuel's death, Jane (Mary's mother) married John Pleasants of Curls, Henrico Co., Virginia. Jane (Larcome Tucker) Pleasants' will was located in the Henrico County Records 1706-1709, p. 166 and recorded June 1709, where she listed her daughter, Mary Woodson and grandsons, Joseph, Benjamin and Tucker Woodson. JOHN WOODSON, III & MARY TUCKER were married Abt. 1677 in James, Virginia, USA [2]. Relationship Notes: In the legal records, John was listed as marrying the orphan Samuel Tucker and in John Pleasant's will the reference is made to "...son of wife's daughter Mary Woodson..". Therefore, it is fairly certain that John Woodson married Mary Tucker, the daughter of Samuel and Jane (Larcome) Tucker. John and Mary (Tucker) Woodson III had 4 known children, Joseph, Tucker, Benjamin and Mary Jane. John Woodson Jr.'s father did not list any of John III's children in the will, therefore, it is fairly certain that John and Mary did not have any children by 1684. 1) Their eldest son, Joseph was mentioned in the will dated 1690 of John Pleasants I (The Immigrant). John Pleasants I indicated that if his eldest son, John Pleasants II did not have any heirs, then the estate would go to the next child, Joseph. If Joseph did not have any heirs, it would go to his daughter, Elizabeth. If she did not have any heirs, then the estate would go to his brothers' heirs. If none of his sons or brothers had heirs, the estate would go to his grandson, Joseph (son of John and Mary (Tucker) Woodson). Of course, this was highly unlikely and the estate remained in the Pleasants family for several generations. Joseph was married 3 times. His first marriage was to Mary Sanburne and they had 1 son, Sanburne Woodson. After Mary's death, Joseph married Elizabeth Scott and they had 1 daughter that married William Pierce (who died and left 4 orphans). Joseph's father, John Woodson became their guardian. After Elizabeth died, Joseph married Elizabeth Murry (before 1724). Elizabeth Murry was the daughter of John Murry of Isle of Wright Co., Virginia. Joseph and Elizabeth (Murry) Woodson had 5 children. The land on Four Mile Creek in Henrico Co., Virginia that Joseph inherited from his father, was passed down from generation to generation. Joseph and Elizabeth (Murry)'s grandson, John sold his share and moved to Cumberland Co., Virginia and was known as John Woodson of Carters Ferry. 2) Their daughter, Mary Jane (aka "Jane" born about 1686) married her 1st cousin, Joseph Woodson, son of Colonel Robert ["potato hole"] and Elizabeth (Ferris) Woodson. They were married 27 Jan 1700/01. John's Woodson Jr.s will was dated May 1, 1700 and Mary (Tucker) Woodson's will was dated 1710. Children named in both wills were their eldest son Joseph, their sons Samuel Tucker and Benjamin and their daughter, Jane (as defined in the Tidewater Virginia Families by Virginia Lee Hutcheson Davis, pp. 40).

Donald, Good morning and thank you for your speedy reply. This is, indeed, my Joshua. Do you have other data on him, or his ancestors? Sincerely, Barbara New Richmond, VA Barbara Crockett New

I just noticed in the "Tuckers in Bedford" email stream, references of the Woodson and Tucker connection. I did some genealogy research for a relative and he is a Woodson, related to the John Woodson that came to Jamestown with Gov. Yardley. Below is a snip-it of information from that genealogy book. If you would like more info I would be glad to provide it. Charlotte ************************* 1. JOHN WOODSON, JR.-1 [1, 2, 3, 4]. His birth Abt. 1632 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Fleur de Hundred also known as Flowerdew on the outskirts of Jamestown Fort, south side of the James River about 30 miles above Jamestown.) [5, 6]. John's death Oct 1684 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown). Burial Oct 1684 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Fleur de Hundred) [7]. John was also Known As was "Tub" Woodson. Occupation in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Planter in Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [8]. It was in Fleur de Hundred that the family lived at the time of the massacre by the Indians on April 19, 1644 when John and his younger brother, Robert were saved by the courage of their mother. The father, John Sr. died in the Indian raid. John and his brother, Robert were in the 1679 tithables (census) at Curles, Henrico Co., Virginia with a plantation on the north side of James River, which was a short distance above Fleur de Hundred. John and his descendants bore the nickname of "Tub Woodsons" and his brother, Robert and his descendants bore the nickname of "Potato Hole Woodsons". JOHN WOODSON, JR. married SARAH TUCKER [7, 9, 10]. Her birth Abt. 1635 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). Her death Bet. 1657-1659 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). Their marriage 1654 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [11]. They had 2 children: JOHN WOODSON III and ROBERT WOODSON. Relationship Notes: John Jr.'s will was dated Aug 20, 1684 and proved Oct 1, 1684. In the will, John identified Sarah by using the term "wife,A" however, in subsequent legal documents, Sarah was defined as "relict of John Woodson, decd.A" The will does list John's sons, John and Robert; John's grandchildren (Robert's children): Jane and Samuel; John's brother, Robert and Robert's 4 youngest sons (Robert, Richard, Joseph, and Benjamin), and his "Couzin" [sic] John Woodson. (In the 17th century, the term "cousin" meant nephew. The rational for naming Robert's eldest son separate from Robert's other children could be because John was married with a family while the other children were still considered minors.) JOHN WOODSON, JR. & SARAH TUCKER's children: i. JOHN WOODSON, III [11, 2, 4]. His birth Abt. 1655 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [2]. He married Mary Tucker. They were married Abt. 1677 in James, Virginia, USA [2]. He died Aft. 01 May 1700 in James, Virginia, USA [12]. Residence in Henrico, Virginia, USA. ii. ROBERT WOODSON [11]. He was born Abt. 1657 in James, Virginia, USA. In 1684, Robert's father died. Robert and his children, Jane and Samuel, were listed in his father's will dated Aug 20, 1684. Based on the information in the will, Robert was married before 1684. Robert received a servant boy and an Indian girl, 60 acres joining "Couzin" John Woodson's property and another 100 acres on the north side of Bailey's Brook. All the land could not be sold and was to remain in the family. JOHN WOODSON, JR.'s 2nd marriage was to SARAH BROWNE [7, 9]. Her birth Abt. 1632 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). Her death Abt. 1692 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). JOHN WOODSON, JR. & SARAH BROWNE. Their marriage Abt. 1660 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)). JOHN WOODSON JR. and SARAH BROWNE had no children. Generation 2 2. JOHN WOODSON, III-2 (John Woodson, Jr.-1) [11, 2, 4]. His birth Abt. 1655 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [2]. He died Aft. 01 May 1700 in James, Virginia, USA [12]. Residence in Henrico, Virginia, USA. General Notes: In 1684, John Jr.'s father died. John Jr. was the executor of his father's will dated Aug 20, 1684 and he received all remaining property that was not identified. JOHN WOODSON, III married MARY TUCKER (daughter of Samuel Tucker & Jane Larcome [11, 2, 4]). Her birth Bet. 1660-1670 in Jamestown, James, Virginia, USA (Curles near Jamestown (now Henrico County)) [2]. She died Abt. 1710 in James, Virginia, USA [2]. General Notes: Mary's father, Samuel was the Captain ("Master") of the Ships "Vine Tree" and "Seaflower". Upon Samuel's death, Jane (Mary's mother) married John Pleasants of Curls, Henrico Co., Virginia. Jane (Larcome Tucker) Pleasants' will was located in the Henrico County Records 1706-1709, p. 166 and recorded June 1709, where she listed her daughter, Mary Woodson and grandsons, Joseph, Benjamin and Tucker Woodson. JOHN WOODSON, III & MARY TUCKER were married Abt. 1677 in James, Virginia, USA [2]. Relationship Notes: In the legal records, John was listed as marrying the orphan Samuel Tucker and in John Pleasant's will the reference is made to "...son of wife's daughter Mary Woodson..". Therefore, it is fairly certain that John Woodson married Mary Tucker, the daughter of Samuel and Jane (Larcome) Tucker. John and Mary (Tucker) Woodson III had 4 known children, Joseph, Tucker, Benjamin and Mary Jane. John Woodson Jr.'s father did not list any of John III's children in the will, therefore, it is fairly certain that John and Mary did not have any children by 1684. 1) Their eldest son, Joseph was mentioned in the will dated 1690 of John Pleasants I (The Immigrant). John Pleasants I indicated that if his eldest son, John Pleasants II did not have any heirs, then the estate would go to the next child, Joseph. If Joseph did not have any heirs, it would go to his daughter, Elizabeth. If she did not have any heirs, then the estate would go to his brothers' heirs. If none of his sons or brothers had heirs, the estate would go to his grandson, Joseph (son of John and Mary (Tucker) Woodson). Of course, this was highly unlikely and the estate remained in the Pleasants family for several generations. Joseph was married 3 times. His first marriage was to Mary Sanburne and they had 1 son, Sanburne Woodson. After Mary's death, Joseph married Elizabeth Scott and they had 1 daughter that married William Pierce (who died and left 4 orphans). Joseph's father, John Woodson became their guardian. After Elizabeth died, Joseph married Elizabeth Murry (before 1724). Elizabeth Murry was the daughter of John Murry of Isle of Wright Co., Virginia. Joseph and Elizabeth (Murry) Woodson had 5 children. The land on Four Mile Creek in Henrico Co., Virginia that Joseph inherited from his father, was passed down from generation to generation. Joseph and Elizabeth (Murry)'s grandson, John sold his share and moved to Cumberland Co., Virginia and was known as John Woodson of Carters Ferry. 2) Their daughter, Mary Jane (aka "Jane" born about 1686) married her 1st cousin, Joseph Woodson, son of Colonel Robert ["potato hole"] and Elizabeth (Ferris) Woodson. They were married 27 Jan 1700/01. John's Woodson Jr.s will was dated May 1, 1700 and Mary (Tucker) Woodson's will was dated 1710. Children named in both wills were their eldest son Joseph, their sons Samuel Tucker and Benjamin and their daughter, Jane (as defined in the Tidewater Virginia Families by Virginia Lee Hutcheson Davis, pp. 40).

A couple of years ago I requested Gayle Blankenship's book and her husband wrote back saying she had passed away. At that time, he still had a few of her last edition of "Some Families of Bedford & Washington Counties, Virginia and Orange County, NC. I bought the book and would be happy to do lookups for others.
