First, the Benjamin Robinson who married Susannah Brock did not move to Kentucky. She died early on, without issue. Second, this Benjamin Robinson died in Spotsylvania Co VA - see his will. Third, the Benjamin Robinson who did move to Kentucky, and did marry the widow Ellis, was in the American Revolution, but there is no proof that he was related in any way to Benjamin, son of Christopher Robinson. In fact, most of the past research points to possible other Robinson lines. Fourth, there is no proof that the Benjamin Robinson who married Susannah Brock was related to Benjamin, son of Christopher. Norman Peters Washington DC

Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline?read=1345 Surname: Robinson, Ring, Brock ------------------------- The father of Benjamin Robinson, who was Christopher Robinson bequeathed to him 1200 acres of land in Essex County (which later became Caroline County) called "Moone's Mount," and 900 acres adjoining it. I am aware that Christopher Robinson stayed in Middlesex, VA and his home has become a historical site called "Hewick". The Robinson descendant I am researching is the son of Benjamin Robinson who was born sometime between 1700-1736. He was also named Benjamin and he married Susannah Brock (no marriage date). My ancestor named Benjamin Robinson moved to Spotsylvania and was there in 1781. He also fought in the Revolutionary War with the Virginia Militia. His pension is on record. His second wife's name could possibly have been Mildred Ellis, whose first husband had property on Lewis Run in Spotsylvania County. In 1781 this branch of the Robinsons moved to Kentucky. Firstly, I would like to connect with a person who is a genealogist and has some historical knowledge of Essex County in the early 1700's. Hope someone can help? Marilyn at maureen@ecis.com

Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline?read=1344 Surname: Davis, Terry, Taylor, Lee, James ------------------------- Seeking information to locate 1723 Land Patent of Richard DAVIS (1679 Wales - 1761 Granville Co., NC). It was near Ridge Road which is or is near County Road #658. The north east corner is at the head of Licking Hole Swamp. It was bounded by lands of Capt. Thomas Terry. Terry's land was bounded on one side by the easternmost branch of Woodyard Swamp. I am guessing this property is between Chilesburg and Houston Corners and nearer the North Anna River than the Ridge Road. Could someone locate the 1723 Licking Hole Swamp and Woodyard Swamp for me? Also, anything about Capt Thomas Terry and Richard Davis. Their children married before Richard went to NC. Richard was a Baptist before he came to VA. Is there an old Baptist Church near this land site?

Thanks for the BLM land patent site. Found several ancestors patents with still more searching to do Anne

David Hoffman From: bearpaw@alaska.net To: VACAROLI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: BLM site is excellent Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2000 19:40:38 -0800 Hi again, I just checked out the BLM site at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ and it's fabulous. You can look for records in any state and print the documents online or order them. This is a place where you can spend a lot of time!! Lots of detailed information.

Just a note on the above site. No info is available for the original 13 colonies. You must click where indicated and then you will find a note stating that the 13 Colonies area is under construction. Lois Smith

The BLM is a great site but because it is Federal lands, it does not list the 13 colonies

The only Aquila or Achilles Durrett I know was born in 1783 so that leave him out too. Is there another? Bob
