Hi Jan: I'll se what I can find on Ayres & Martin Chastain. Rene I know well. I have some good stuff on him that I will transmit for you next week, as it will take me some time to look it up. Jean

Hi Wayne: This is exciting! My family left Buckingham Co. right about 1819 for Barren Co. I have some of the Barren Censues, probably including the 1850. The Barnet and Susannah (could this be Stanton, rather than Staton?) is very interesting. Why, because my J. Bernard was sometimes called Barnett, or Barlett, possibly confusing him with James Bartlette Nunnally. The second son of my John Bernard Nunnally and his Ballow wife was Nelson W. Nunnally, who left KY for IN, then settled in IL where he became a State Rep., then Senator. Nelson m. Letitia STANTON Hicklin, who was said by desc. to have been b. in TN and orphaned at an early age and "raised by a family in KY". She was also said to have been a Morgan and a cousin of the Boones. I just learned that she had been the daughter of Lewis Byrum Stanton and his wife, Elizabeth Smith. The Hicklin baffles me so far...could be the name of her adoptive family or and early first marriage. A young fellow lived with them named Francis Hicklin. He was in the Civil War ands his record says he was the son of Francis Marion Hicklin. Now as to Susannah...my William Thomas Ballou, the sone of Charles of Cumberland Co., VA, who removed to another Co. (darnit it won't come to mind right now) anyway, Wm. Thomas married Susannah Hatcher Bransford...coincidence. This Wm. Thomas was appointed by Jeff Davis to head up the Halifax Co., yes that's it, army. Incidentally, I have not only visited Barren Co., which I love, but there is a copy of a little booklet on the "Ballou, Ballew, etc. family of VA and the Southern States" in the Mary Weldon Library, written by my research partner and me. I am also a desc. of Thomas White. Do you know Joe Taylor who lives there? He is a nice guy and fellow Nunnaly descendant I have corresponded with. Jean

Hi Linda: I want, I want it! We must be from allieed families. One of the Nunnalys way back in the early 1700s married into the Womack family in Chesterfield Co., VA. Their son was William Womack Nunnally, a Rev. War soldier. My Ballow line is, I think, allied with the Nelson family and also one of them married a Newton somewhere. Also Frances Jordan m. Robert Wingfield and their daughter m. one of the Rev. Leonard Ballows. The Jordans were an old and illustrious family, of "Jordan's Journey" on the James River. The Agees were also neighbors on Slate R. There is an entry in the Fam. Bible page of Stephen Ballew of NC, Rev War era, which mentions the name "Elizabeth Taylor" with no explanation. Stephen had m. #1 Rachel McWhirter or McWhorter in B.C. and #2 Mary Richman. I am very eager to get your info. Jean

I have a Jane Anderson b 3/1/1776, d 1806, married William Fuqua Rev Rene Chastain was a junior. his parents were Rene Sr and Judith Martin. I have 2 more generations back on Chastains beyond that. I have a couple of Guerrants but can't solve yours. Would you like to exchange files? I have Family Treemaker 5.0 or can send gedcom files. Please advise.

Hi: I am interested in which Guerrant's you have. They are all related to me, I believe. Rene Chastain is the son of Rene Sr. and Judith? OK I have some information off Internet sites but hadn't documented this link. Thank you. Someone mentioned an Anderson site. Without a doubt, it is the Pat Anderson "Everett Anderson Memorial Site". An excellent site for Anderson lore. I have FTM 6.0. Let me ungarble my files. Will contact you again. Thanks all for the help. Carol Oh, and I toured south Hancock County, IL and north Adams County and found a cemetery just full of Ayres. Maybe my sister took note of the exact location if you are interested.

Jean-- My third great grandparents, James Anderson (10 Apr 1763-29 Jun 1830) and Jane Guerrant ( 8 Apr 1769-14 Dec 1844) were also married (26 Apr 1787) by Rev. Rene Chastain. Jane lived on the Slate River in Buckingham County, Virginia. Later she and James lived in Montgomery County, Kentucky, near Bath County, at Stepstone Creek. I sense a blood relationship between either James or Jane and Rev. Rene Chastain, and I have some information on the Chastain family, but I am uncertain who the parents are of Rev. Rene Chastain. Can you tell me who they are? Also, I am searching for the parents of James Anderson in Virginia, possibly in Buckingham County. He had a sister, Nancy Anderson who married John Guerrant. Any clues would be appreciated. Carol

I am looking for the parents of Elizabeth Benecia AYRES. Elizabeth and Martin CHASTAIN were married 07 February 1793 in Buckingham County by his Father, Rev. Rene CHASTAIN, a Baptist minister. Here is a short outline of the family. Have more generations if anyone sees something of interest! If "anybody" has any information, please e-mail me. I have been looking a long time....thought at one time they were John and Jane AYRES but their daughter, Elizabeth, married someone else. Thanks for any advice!

Know the Nunnallys from Barren Co. Kentucky. I will look them up that married into my family. If you wish. My JAMES TAYLOR lived on Slate River, Troublesome Creek. Does anyone know any TAYLORS in Buckingham? My James Taylor children (he died 1847 there) married into Newton, Puckett, Sudsbury,Gibson, Etc. His son Jordan TAYLOR married Frances White Williamson in Charlotte Co. Va. but returned to live in the TALL House (still standing) built 1793. Jordan's children married in to Agee, Womack, Kidd, and others. Don't have my notes in front of me but have the information if you want it. Linda Z.

Jean, I live in Barren Co. Ky. My 4 G grandparents moved here from Buckingham Co. Va (my guess is around 1818 give or take a yr. or two. I have seen most of the Nunnally families and the Snoddy's since they also came from Buickingham CO. and settled here in Barren Co. KY. Have you gotten the info from the 1850 Barren Co. Census? Do you have any idea when your families left Buckingham CO. ? They may have left when mine did. I would love to learn more abt. this. My family that came from Buck. Co. is Barnet & Susannah (Staton) HATCHER. I haven't been able to find out much abt. Susannah. I'm not positive if her maiden name was Staton or someother form of Slaton or Slautor. Her dad was named William. If I can help you in any way let me know.

Someone posted a message containing the name Womack. Believe a Sarah Womack may have married James Archdeacon/Archdekin mid-late 1700s. If so, I can offer a ton of information about the origins of the fascinating Archdeakon family. Tom Boaz

Hi Bob: I don't know your (child) Thomas Jefferson, son of Randolph and Anna Lewis, but my family member, Mitchie Ballou Pryor was the second wife of Randolph Jeffer- son and they had a son John Jefferson who moved to TN with Mitchie's brother [and maybe Mitchie too] after Randolph's death. Joseph Cabell said (in "Thomas Jefferson's Letters to His Unknown Brother, Randolph" 'Mitchie Ballou Pryor is a Jade of genuine bottom'. Now wasn't that mean...just because she got Randolph to change his will in her favor[smile]! Jean

Hi Frank: I have most books in print re Buckingham Co. I'll check them all for your John Bondurant and Sarah Garrett. Also, last year as a volunteer for the Gen. Lib. here in West Palm Beach I was going through a bunch of research done by a woman in Alabama which I remember included a lot about the Bondurant family. I just got home from being away all summer yesterday and am bogged down, but I will look in all my books for you somtime this week and also when I go back to my lib., which will be next week or the one after. If you don't hear from me by this Sat.....nag me. Jean

Hi Thomas: Read your E-mail re: Buckingham Co. I have all the books on that county, as my 4th gr grandparents came from there. I will be happy to look up anything I can for you (later this week, as I just got back yesterday from summer away). Jean

Hi Donald: Got a copy of your mail to the Buckingham rootscenter. I am researching on a Miss Ballou (Ballow, Ballew, etc.) who ma. John Bernard Nunnally in B.C. around 1794 and they had eight children and moved to Barren Co. in 1819. I have many books on B.C. if there is anything I can look up for you. Is your Pace by any chance Sanford Pace? A daughter of the above couple married him and they had 2 children there in Barren Co., or rather, Summer Shade. Jean

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you on this. The real job gets in the way of the fun time looking up info! Well, I don't know alot about Elsah PENDELTON. I know she was born in Buckingham County and married James on December 16, 1818. They moved to Wilson County Tennessee in 1823 then to Illinois in 1830. They had 11 children. Will keep your e-mail and when I get more info on the PENDELTON side, I will let you know. Just noticed another posting from someone on the VABUCKIN-L regarding PENDELTON, DOSS..... if you did not recv this post let me know and I will forward a copy to you! Hope she has more on that line than I! Good luck! Dianna K.

Dianna, Thanks so very much for the effort. I wonder if her name...spelled today...would have been ELSA? I had a census taker write down one of my great aunts as ELEF. ELEF's dad couldn't read or write, and therefore couldn't spell it for the census officical. The census man just wrote it down like it sounded to him...ELEF...in our good old Southern Ozark Mountain accent. Her name was OLIVE, but it sounded like ELEF when it came out of Dan Sexton's mouth. I read every Buckingham Co., Va., notice/query. My history is tied up in that county...burned records ashes and all. Thanks again. JNRIce +
