Paul Harvey faxed me the descendants of Thomas and Anne (Wilson) Harvey this morning. There were several Johnson, Paulette, marriages in the lot. Do you know the Harveys, and/or the Wilsons? Anne was the daughter of John and Mary (______) Willson of Charlotte.

Several of us are putting some Charlotte County families together through communication on the internet. I was searching for the parents of Joseph Wilson Sr. of Prince Edward (I thought). Recently discovered: John and Mary (____) Willson bought land in 1768 from Thomas Harvey. John died in 1779 (inventory of estate, Charlotte Co.). Mary Wilson, presumed widow of John since there are no others of the surname in the records, appeared on the 1782-1793 tax rolls of Charlotte. She gave permission in neighboring Campbell County for her daughter Anne to marry Thomas Harvey, son of William and Sarah (___) Harvey of Charlotte. Others who appear to be sons of John and Mary (_____) Wil(l)son are: David, Robert, James, and Joseph Sr. Their daughter Anne married Thomas Harvey in 1792. Joseph Wilson Sr. married Elizabeth HUDSON in 1780, and is on the tax rolls in both Charlotte and Prince Edward when he died in 1815 (will, Prince Edward Co.). Their sons Hudson and Nathaniel Wilson were in the area until their deaths c. 1850. Does anyone know more about the WILSONs, the HARVEYs, the PAULETTEs, the JOHNSONs of Charlotte, Campbell, and/or Prince Edward Counties? Ann in CA--and hot on the trail of ma' family!
Hi Ward, Interesting. Do you suppose that a lab would be able to run a DNA sample on my husband which would answer the question regarding the history that he is an Abenaki native (he prefers Indian). The tribe is ready to acept him but the rest of the family says no. I think he's right. I'm relatively sure that my Colberts of VA are part of same group that lead the Choctaw from 1760's through current times as well, although they have no knowledge of Levi's brother Lemuel. I'm not worried about it, but Ron would like to know if his grandfather, who claimed to be Abenaki in 1948 was telling the truth. The trive was the only tribe to formally join the Americans in the Rev. WAr. They had thier own Capt. They hated the British so much due to George Rodgers Clark's raids on their village. I guess they didn't realize that George Rodgers Clark left a bunch of descendats and cousins in this country, and they too fought the Bristish. Odd, huh. Thank you for your history. I''m still chasing those Richardsons, Harvey's, Madison's etc in Henrico/Charlotte and other counties.

Karen, Don't mean to butt in to your correspondence with Ward - but I have a question regarding the Abenaki Indians. In your message, in refering to the Abenaki's you state: "...are part of same group that lead the Choctaw from 1760's through current times..." Please explain this. Were the Choctaw's in Virginia?? Or, did they evolve from the Abenaki's? Anxiously awaiting your response. Jean Redmond Jean5383@aol.com
Many of you have the book "Charlotte County, Rich Indeed." on pp 16-17 there is a copy of a report by John Lederer from 1670, after exploring the area which now contains Charlotte County. The Indians of the area believed that all mankind was descended from four women, for whom they had names. When I first read this in 1995, I recalled an article in "Science", Jan. 15, 1993 by Ann Gibbons. In the article she relates the genetic evidence that all Native Americans from pole to pole can be traced to four women by four different DNA variants. This evidence suggests two migrations from Asia, one from the region of Siberia. These specific gene mutations are found only in Asia and the Americas.
Would appreciate someone looking up Hillery (or Hillory) LANE (or LAYNE) in the 1860 Charlotte County census. I have an index but not the actual census. He's supposedly recorded on page 283, Rough Creek P.O. (Hillery, age 54). Also, are there any SUBLETTs living close by? Thx!
REDMOND FAMILY, My g-grandfather, Wesley Baxter Foster, married a Susan REDMOND (who died givening birht). The history of the Redmond family is full of stories that I am certain that would be interested in. Anyways, Susan's father was Robert REDMOND (b. 1798), who married Clarissa SMITH. Robert REDMOND was killed by his son Abner REDMOND.... Long and interesting story.... If you are interested in the story, and/or have a connection email me directly..... Also one of Susan's Brothers shot my g=grandfather (Wesley) in the hip. Anyways, I have wills and other information on a number of Redmond families from Charlotte County....

Can someone please help interpret a personal property tax list of 1791 which has these columns: Persons names responsible for the tax, While males 16 and above: The listing in question is for: Levin Gayle, 2 white males 16+ Does this mean that Levin Gayle himself is one of the two white males, or does it mean that Levin has in his household, two white males 16 or above, not counting himself. I really need help. Thanks, Jean Gayle
An interesting newspaper article has been added to the Charlotte County VAGenWeb site. It is an 1877 article from "The Ironton Register." It regards migration of families of the surnames: FUQUA, DUPUY, MACKOY, and MORTON. See the "Your Section" of the Charlotte page, under "Hither and Yon." Our thanks to Marlene Coleman.

Thought the list might like to know that the history of Charlotte County, VA, titled "Charlotte County - Rich Indeed," copywrite 1979 by the Charlotte County Board of Supervisors, has been reprinted and is available for sale at the Charlotte County Treasurer's Office. Price per copy is $20.90. Make check payable to "Treasurer, Charlotte County. That's the good news. The bad news is that they are not set up to ship books, so you much purchase it at the Treasurer's Office in Charlotte County. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
