I have gotten books on marriages for that area but not one has even Hadley's marriage. Hadley went to KY by 1786 w/ wife Mildred. Would appreciate any help on this.. thanks Kathy

Hello All, I am looking for any information on the William and Sarah mentioned below no matter how vague it might be. Also any other information relating to this particular Bailey "branch". According to Ron Turner's book Prince William County, Virginia, Marriages 1854-1900, James Robert Baley was married to Margaret Ann Gollyhan on 5 Aug.1866. He was age 46, a widower, born in Culpeper County, son of William and Sarah Baley. Margaret Ann was 29, born in Prince William County, but her parents are not identified. It looks like Margaret was not his first wife. On the 1860 census of Prince William County, James R. Bailey is shown, age 33, living at Dumfries, farmer, b. Va., with wife Margaret A., 23, b. Va, and child James R. age 1, b. Va. [dwelling 735, family 710, from David Turner's abstract, which says that James R. Bailey served in Company G, 49th Va. Infantry; prisoner of war 19 Oct. 1864, Point Lookout Prison, Md.] Either he had two wives named Margaret A., or this is the same woman he was to marry in 1866.

Linda, I'm really interested in these families but the dates don't seem to compute.

Hugh, St. Mark's Parish has existed in Culpeper Co. since 1733, although it has shrunk considerably since it began. It originally comprised Spotsylvania, Orange, and Culpeper Counties in Va. Over time, parts were taken from it to form St. Thomas's Parish (Orange), St. George's (Spotsy) and Brumfield/Bromfield/Broomfield (Madison). The Rev. George W. Peterkin, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, St. Mark's Parish, in Culpeper County wrote in the church Register about the formation of Bromfield, "In 1752, St. Mark's parish, then in Culpeper Co. was divided by the meander or crooked run falling into Robinson River up to Col. Jno. Spotswood's corner on that run, thence by his line north twenty-eight degrees East to Bloodworth Road, thence from Bloodworth Rd. by straight line to crooked run a branch of north fork of Gourd Vine River, where the main Rd. called Duncan's crosses the said Run, thence by the said Run up to the head thereof, thence to head of white oak run, thence by that Run down to north River, ~ all below this line except what is within the limits of Orange Co. was constituted St. Mark's parish -- all above this line & all of St. Thomas' parish that was in Culpeper was constituted Bromfield Parish." If metes and bounds are not your thing -- One of our members, Betty Johnson provides the following information about Brumfield Parish. "Eugene M. Scheel writes that Bromfield Parish was created 1 June 1753 from part of St. Mark's Parish and was dissolved in 1790. Bromfield was named for the Culpeper family chapel near Leeds Castle in Kent, England. The American parish's name 'degenerated into such words as Bloomfield, Broomfield, and Brumfield.' Scheel does not state exactly what land was covered by Bromfield Parish." (Source 1, below) However, Ann L. Miller writes: "In 1752, another parish would be created in Culpeper County: the western half of the county (including all of what is now Madison County, all except the extreme northeastern corner of Rappahannock, and the northwest corner of modern Culpeper County) became the new parish of Bromfield . . . " (Source 2, below) Sources: 1. Eugene M. Scheel, "Culpeper, A Virginia County's History Through 1920," pp. 43, 108. 342 2. "Early churches of Culpeper County, Va," edited by A. D. Thomas Jr. and A. McD.Green; Chapter 1, "Early German and Anglican Churches of Culpeper county, 1714-1865," by Ann L. Miller, p. 6. Both those books are publications of the Culpeper Historical Society of Culpeper, VA. The Culpeper Genealogical Society has for sale the following: A Register of Christenings and Marriages for 1794 in St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper, August 16, 1794 - transcribed and edited by Donna Stevens Boyd. The information in this publication covers the years 1794-1871. Cost is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. If purchasing by mail, please make your check payable to CGS and mail it to CGS, P.O. Box 1326, Culpeper, VA 22701. Please add $2.00 for postage and handling. Please note that it does contain more information than just the year 1794, but that is the year in which it was begun. Also available from many genealogical book sources is "St. Mark's Parish Vestry Book & Levies, 1733-1785 Spotsylvania, Orange and Culpeper Counties, Virginia" Transcribed and Edited by Rosalie Edith Davis, Manchester, Missouri, 1983. It is fascinating reading, as it details the life of the parish. I have checked my copy of the Vestry Book for Huffman/Hofman names and have found none there. However, on p. of the Register, I found the following marriage: > 1871 > " Jany 22 Robert Yancey & Mr. Hoffman's Rev. Geo. W. Peterkin > Virginia M. Hoffman near Rixeyville On p. 3 the name Hoffman was written in, in pencil, with no other notation. So they were in the area, and Virginia at least did marry an Anglican. I hope that partially addresses the question of Anglican churches in Culpeper. By the time of the Hoffman - Yancey nuptials, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church had existed in its current location on East Street for a couple of decades. Soon we will have a picture of it posted on our site; it is the oldest church in town, and the only one that still exists from the antebellum period.

Culpeper Co., VA researchers- Did the Little Fork Group have a church that could have kept records? There seems to be a significant lack of vital statistics about this group. Births and marriages do not seem to be recorded as they were for the earlier German colonies. My specifics deal with the family of Henry HUFFMAN (aka Hans Henrich HOFMANN)-1734 immigrant. My initial analysis of naming patterns in this HUFFMAN family suggests that there were a significant number of marriages outside the German community. Was there a Church of England in the vicinity of Little Fork? I know that the VA was divided into parishes which would indicate an established church was in the area to serve the parish. Would someone address the issue of parishes and church records as they apply to Culpeper Co., VA? Best regards, Hugh

He married Ann Sally Embrey on August 06, 1807 in Culpeper County, Virginia where they first set up housekeeping. By 1810, Bennet, Ann, their two young daughters, Rachael and Eliza, along with Bennet’s younger brother, John, had relocated in Adair County Kentucky. Whether Bennet moved or the county boundary changed, in 1820 we find he and Ann, along with their growing family, now numbering 7 children, Rachael, Eliza, Ann, Polly, Carroll, Lucyndia, and Harvey, in Barren County. Bennet's daughter Eliza married Henry Huffman, son of Ambrose Huffman and Mary Railsback.
