HI Ward, I was hoping Fears was somehow related to Elizabeth Pamplett (Pamplin) wife of Hezekiah Jackson. Her father's name is William, but I don't have a mother's name. Since Hezekiah is father of Josiah Jackson (unless I'm wrong). and Josiah Jackson purchased 106 acres of land from William Fears in 1799 (Prince Edward County Deed Book 8 page 223 and 224). Elizabeth Jackson is listed as granddaughter to James Fears of St. Patrick Parrish in his will written in 1797 proved 1804 (Prince Edward County Will Book 3 page circa 356 or so, then perhaps the Elizabeth Jackson listed as grandaughter of James Fears would be Elizabeth Pamplin/Pamplet, wife of Hezekiah. Hezekiah is listed as b. abt 1736 d. before 1777 charlotte Co VA. He and Elizabeth Pamplin m. 11 Nov 1761 Prince Edward Co VA. The only info I have on her is that she is b. abt 1736? and died after 1810 . I have three children listed for them (but would guess there are more). I have Josiah m. Elizabeth Madison,d/o of Henry Jr., and Martha and Patrick Jackson. Sources for info include two private individuals and the VA Genealogist article Vol 30, 31, 32 (Jackson's of Lower Virginia/Brandenburger). I havenot verified this line with primary sources as it's not a direct line. Hezekiah is son of Joseph and there fore a cousin to me (1 C 7R) through Joseph's brother Ralph II. Josiah ends up a second cousin (according to the power of a computer. never could figure out these things). IF William Pamplin/Pamplet's wife was a daughter of James Fears, it would make sense for her to be the Elizabeth jackson mentioned, and it would make sense that her son, Josiah (m.Elizabeth Madison) was buying land from a Fears. Then again, I could be 100% wrong. Wouldn't be the first time I went barking up wrong tree! I'm still trying to find if the wife of Ralph II named Obedience was really a Lewis, hence my Lewis jackson who died in 1795 Charlotte Co, husband of Frances Richardson. Still trying to find all of Lewis' kids. Know for sure there was Mary m. Elijah CLARK (another family name), Jewis m. William GEORGE (need his parentage, as George is family name), Joel, Nancy, Lewis, Frances m. George JENNINGS (another family name), Phebe m. Branch Anderson, Ralph T. m. Polly HARVEY in 1804 (GGGGgrandparents), Obedience m. Lemuel VAWTER (her first cousin). There is also a Francis Jackson m. Elizabeth Rice in 1792. Mary and Jewis proved by marriage bonds, Joel, Nancy, Lewis(m. Elizabeth Harvey Hines, widow of Henry Hines), Frances, Phebe, Ralph T. and Obedience named as Orphans in Charlotte co order books. Francis is named as admistrator of Lewis' estate in 1795. sice all other Francis' of close relation were dec'd, I think he is oldest son. Can document all but Francis. Think there are three missing children who are older. Anyway, so much for my idea on who Elizabeth Jackson, granddaughter of James Fears might be.
