George Hooper of Buckingham County. He died about 1799 and she died shortly thereafter. Her son who remained with her and lived in the same household with her was Benjamin Hooper, my great-great grandfather. He died in Buckingham County, on the old Hooper place--recently called "Hooper's Mt."--in 1838--or thereabouts. He was survived by his second wife, the former Permelia Moseley and children from two marriages. Only two children in the second marriage lived to be beyond twenty-five years of age. They were John A. Hooper and Powell Hooper. The former was a major in the Condeferate Army and took up residence in Sardis, Mississippi. His only child was Coz. Fannie Hooper, who was the Chairman of the Biology Department at the State Women's College in Mississippi. She died in or near Columbus, Mississippi, in 1929; she left no children. Powell Hooper served under J.E.B. Stuart during the War! Between the States and married in August of 1869 to Willie Ann Holman of "Oakland," daughter of Tandy and Judith Hales Spencer Holman and granddaughter of William and Jane Ayres Holman of "Humanity Hall," Buckingham County, Virginia. To the union of these two people were born seven children--six lived to maturity: John Holman Hooper--"Holman"--of Howardsville, Albemarle County, Virginia, who died in 1948; George Lewis Hooper (1873-1929) of CHarleston, W.Va.; Eleanor Powell Hooper (1875-1948), wife of Henry SMith Holman of "Greenwood," Cartersville, Virginia--my grandmother; Tandy Holman Hooper (1878-1929) of Huntington, W.Va.; Henrietta Moseley--"Dollie"--the wife of Henry Clay Culbreth--residents of Dillwyn, Virginia; and Dr. William Powell Hooper (1883-1956), a professor and Presbyterian minister of Huntington, W.Va.

He was married to Milla Marcum/Markham. They left VA and settled in Sumner Co. TN in the 1820's as did my Elizabeth Betsy Taylor, widow of Edw/Edmund Taylor after Edw died in Campbell Co. TN in 1824.. Due to the proximity of these two families in VA and later in TN, I do feel they connect closely although I don't know how as yet. In fact, my Grandpa Hezekiah Taylor with his third wife Margaret in Overton TN named a son Robert SUMNER Taylor in 1860. Great Grandpa Edward Taylor (1765-1824) has been listed Edmund on several papers. His wife Betsy may have been a Garrett, but I have not been able to find a marriage record to verify this. Elizabeth Taylor was closely tied to the Garrett men (sons of Stephen Garrett and Magdalene Bernard (Heugenots) when they were in Overton TN....by deeds I found. I feel they were her brothers.

The older Alexander was on the 1764 Buckingham Co., VA tithe list, as were several other Davidson men. The older Alexander Davidson moved Bedford Co., VA (part that was later Campbell Co., VA) in the 1770s. Per his 1794 will, he had 3 sons (Alexander, John and Samuel) and 9 daughters. I know that John moved to KY. Samuel died in Appomattox Co., VA in 1848 and Alexander was last found (by me, anyway) on the 1820 Campbell Co., VA census, as I recall (and he fought in the War of 1812 in Dickinson's 3rd Regiment). I do not know who the parents of the older Alexander Davidson were. The other Davidson men in Buckingham in 1764 were Edward, David and William Davidson (and their children). David Davidson (died in Buckingham about 1798) was apparently married to Mary Giles (who had a man named Josiah Giles in her family). David and Mary (Giles) Davidson had several sons, including a Giles Davidson and a Josiah Davidson. Josiah Giles (and hence, Mary Giles, apparently) were from the same family as Perrin Giles. Josiah Davidson is said by some to have married a Rebecca Giles. Josiah Davidson died in Appomattox Co., VA sometime after the 1850 census (in his 80s). Giles Davidson moved to Amherst Co., VA after the Rev. War (he was present at the surrender of Cornwallis). As I recall, Josiah Giles also lived in Amherst Co., VA at that time. Some say that Giles Davidson was married to a Germina/Mina Pendleton (and I know that one of his brothers, who was named Edward Davidson, was married to a Judith Pendleton back in Buckingham). Giles Davidson died in! Amherst in 1848, and his children married into the Massie, Lavender and Landrum families, among others. I think that I have traced Edward, David and William Davidson back to a David Davidson who was born in Holland (though he was certainly English, Scottish or Irish) and who died in James City Co., VA in 1687 (part west of the Chickahominy River that was later part of Charles City Co., VA). At present, there is nothing to suggest that these three men were related to Alexander Davidson, though Edward Davidson also moved to Bedford/Campbell Co., VA, as did one of his sons, David Mosby Davidson, around 1780. Do you know yet how/if the older Hezekiah Taylor was related to Samuel and Sophia (Childers) Taylor? Based on my brief review, it looks like Hezekiah Taylor had Edward/Edmund, and Edward/Edmund had a later Hezekiah Taylor (correct)? Samuel and Sophia (Childers) Taylor had a son named Thomas (among several others), but I have seen two different versions of who he married (a Lucy Glover versus a Milla Markham). Thomas had a brother named Samuel Taylor, Junior, and he married Elizabeth Hughes. He had another brother named Creed Taylor, and he married Sarah Woodson. Note: Sophia Childer's grandmother was a Judith Woodson who married William Cannon; their daughter, Elizabeth Cannon, married Abraham Childers III. My 5th ggf, Hezekiah Davidson, married Tabitha Childers, sister to Sophia and Creed Childers (among others). I have nothing to prove that my Hezekiah was related to any of the other Davidsons mentioned above, though there are a couple of clues that he COULD have been from that same Davidson family in James City/Charles City Co., VA. Hezekiah Davidson was first found by me in Albemarle Co., VA (late 1740s) and then he bought land in Cumberland Co., VA in 1760 from Samuel and Saphrina Taylor (I believe that was actually Sophia (Childers) Taylor). My Hezekiah Davidson died in Cumberland in 1793, and Tabitha remarried to Gabriel Bradstreet Peaseley, Senior. I descend from Hezekiah's and Tabitha's only known child, Philemon Davidson (my 4th ggf; fought at Valley Forge as a private).

There was also a Littlebury Crews who married Alexander's sister, Rachel Davidson. I don't know how/if Littlebury and Isaac were related. Do you know to whom Isaac Crews was married before he married the widow Mary Polly (Oglesby) Taylor? There was an Oglesby family in Campbell Co., VA. Frances Oglesby married Reverend Samuel Davidson there in 1802. Frances had a sister named Keziah Oglesby, and that is, no doubt, why Samuel and Frances had a daughter named Keziah Davidson. Samuel (died 1861) was the pastor of Red Oak Baptist Church for many years. Samuel and Frances (died 1860) lived in the part of Campbell Co., VA that became part of Appomattox Co., VA in 1845. This Samuel Davidson's family, and the family of the above-mentioned Alexander Davidson, may have been unrelated, based on my research to date (both families had men named Samuel Davidson in them; the Samuel Davidson in Alexander's family married Elizabeth Thornhill in 1813 in Campbell Co., VA, and he died in Appomattox Co., VA in 1848). By the way, my 5th ggm was Tabitha Childers, and she was the sister of Sophia Childers/Childress. They had a brother named Creed Childers, and that is where the name Creed Taylor came from (son of Samuel Taylor and Sophia Childers). One of my relatives named Nancy Davidson (of Cumberland Co., VA) married a Thomas Taylor in 1810, and they had a child who was also named Creed Taylor. I have not determined how this Thomas Taylor was related to Samuel Taylor.

There are pitifully few records available from that time period..the fires took out most of it... unless someone went back and recorded their information (and it appears few did) then records are scarce. However,don't give up yet!!! I had very very good luck with the land tax and personal property tax records as they gave a good bit of info in some cases...such as when someone's land was taxed it often said things like "bought of John Doe" or sold to "so and so" etc..sometimes gave location of where widows were if they were living somewhere else apart from estate land...so you might have some luck there. I am not sure what may be gleaned from them regarding slave sales etc. Maybe someone else on the list can answer that. Also if you have access to film of the old newspapers of the day you might locate an estate settlement,dispute over property etc. and sometimes they gave detailed info or they would advertise the sales of property including slaves. I also looked closely at the surrounding counties when researching. Many Buckingham people seemed to travel back and forth between counties ..maybe due to properties still owned that were in other counties after they were breaking large ones up to form smaller ones. The Cabells were numerous and had many transactions among themselves and others and may have sold slaves and other properties between counties and maybe recorded in another county as they were all over that area of Va. You might even try and see if any of that time period Cabell family papers were saved and archived somewhere..such as the Library of Va. or other repository of such records..when families kept records they were often very detailed and surprisingly more than I imagined have been saved over the years. Good luck in your search as that is a very very difficult county to research for the early years and it may take time and patience. I was as tenacious as a bull dog while working that county and it eventually paid off big time!!!! Mary
