Have been working mainly with Fauquier Co.. Hoping Culpeper Co. folks can help break my brick wall. Think I have finally found g.g. grandfather's family. We think that George W. McConchie was probably son William b. 1833 of Alexander and Catherine McConchie.The birth year matches perfect and there is no other Alex. McConchie that could be his father that we know of. 1850 Census Ashby District, Household #647 Alexander McConchie age 58 Catherine age 38 Eliza age 19 (she was married to Alexander Willingham but listed as McConchie on this census--error.) William age 17 (Believe this William to be George W. McConchie who married Mary J. Bray, Dec. 25th 1853. Witnesses: Silas H. Newhouse and Alex. McConchie.) Robert age 16 (he married Mary C. Brown, 30 May 1861) John ? (he married 1st wife Bettie P. Freeman, 8 Nov. 1866, 2nd wife: Kate P. Taylor, 24 March 1887) James ? (James Henry married Martha Brown, 13 April 1869) James Henry reported Alexander's death at age 87 when died in 1878. Mary ? "Margaret"? (married Elijah F. Groves, 6 Sept. 1868. Also on census: Alexander Wooleyham/Willingham! Eliza's husband age 26 James A. Wooleyham/Willingham! 6/12 Eliza's son George had daughters Betty G. "Georgia" married Manassa Creel, Mary V. "Jennie" never married and one son, Silas Mortimer McConchie married Lula Anna Burke in 1885, daughter of William H. Burk and Lucy Amiss. The mystery remains of connecting George W. to the son William of Alexander and Catherine. We can't find a record showing that George W. went by William in his youth and then for some reason goes by George W. when he got married. "Fauquier Courthouse Deed book 75 page 66, dtd. 27 Feb. 1884/ Carolina A. Robinson, widow of Samuel, Jesse B. & Margaret Robinson, Manas A. Robinson & Laura B., Annie Jackson, C. Brown Willis & Fanny f., Robinson his wife, etc. heirs of Samuel Robinson of the first part, conveying to the second part-Mary McConchie, Bettie G. McConchie w/o M.M. Creel, Silas M. & Virginia McConchie. Deed further states that George, now dead, made a contract with Samuel Robinson to purchase 100 acres near Fayetteville, Fauquier Co. George and Sam died without executing any deed. Land located next to French Dodd, Alphonso Routt,William Franklin. C. Brown Willis & Fanny F. Willis, as well as Annie Jackson appeared before notaries in Washington, D.C. to sign." Would greatly appreciate all ideas or better yet, family info that would tell me that our George W. was for certain son of Alexander McConchie and Catherine Martin. Thank you! Amanda Douglass
