This became also Hamilton Parish; > which Parish, by an Act of the General Assembly passed at the Session > of May, 1732, to take effect the first of the following November, was > divided into two Parishes "By the river Ockoquan, and the Bull Run, > (a branch thereof,) and a course from thence to the Indian > Thoroughfare of the Blue Ridge of Mountains," (Ashby's Gap.) All that > part of Prince William lying below the said bounds was to retain the > name of Hamilton, "And all that other part of the said county, which > lies above those bounds, shall hereafter be called and known by the > name of Truro." The Parish was named after the Parish in Cornwall, in > England, which is now the Diocese of Truro." > > > Index: > Adam, Adams, Alexander, Alexanders, Allan, Allen, Alrich, Andrews, > Ashford, Atkins, Aubrey, Awbrey, Aylatt, Ayres, Baker, Bakers, > Ball, Ballard, Balls, Barbour, Barker, Barkley, Barnes, Barry, > Bartlett, Barton, Bassett, Bates, Baugus, Baxter, Baylis, Bayly, > Beach, Beckwith, Bedford, Bennet, Bennit, Berkeley, Berkley, Bird, > Blackburn, Blackburns, Blair, Bleight, Blumfield, Boggess, > Boilston, Boilstone, Bond, Bosman, Bowie, Bowling, Bowman, Boyden, > Boylston, Braddock, Breckenridge, Brents, Broadwater, Brocket, > Bronaugh, Brown, Browns, Bryan, Bryant, Bucklands, Buckley, Burke, > Burkes, Burrows, Cairde, Canady, Car, Carlyle, Carney, Carpenter, > Carter, Carters, Carty, Cash, Caton, Champneys, Chapman, Chase, > Chesher, Chichester, Chichesters, Claggett, Clapham, Cleveland, > Clifton, Cockburn, Cocke, Cockerell, Cofer, Coffer, Cole, Coleman, > Colemans, Colvill, Cookburn, Cooke, Cooper, Coopers, Copein, > Corbins, Corner, Cox, Crutcher, Cullison, Custis, Dade, Dades, > Dainty, Dalton, Dame, Daniel, Daniels, Darne, Darrel, Darrell, > Darus, Davie, Davis, De Butts, Demevill, Deneale, Denty, Deskins, > Dickins, Dickson, Diskin, Dixon, Dodd, Dodge, Donaldson, Douglass, > Dozier, Dulan, Dulin, Dunbarr, Duntan, Ellett, Elliott, Ellzey, > Eltenger, Elzey, Elzy, Emms, English, Erskine, Evans, Ewel, Ewell, > Fairfax, Fairfaxes, Fairhurst, Falkner, Farguson, Fauquier, Ficklin, > Fitzhugh, Fitzhughs, Fleming, Foote, Forbes, Ford, Foster, Fowler, > Franklin, French, Furguson, Furgussons, Gaillard, Gardner, Garrett, > Gerard, Gibson, Gilmore, Gladdin, Gladding, Gleading, Godfrey, > Gooch, GOODWIN, Goram, Graham, Grant, Grantum, Grayson, Green, > Griffin, Griffith, Grigsby, Grymes, Guest, Gunnel, Gunnell, > Gunnells, Hago, Hairsling, Hall, Halley, Halling, Hamilton, > Hampton, Harle, Harris, Harrison, Hart, Hartley, Hartshorne, > Haslip, Haugo, Hawley, Henderson, Hendersons, Hening, Henry, > Herbert, Hereford, Heryford, Hester, Hews, Hicherson, Hicks, > Higgerson, Hollis, Holmes, Hord, Howel, Howson, Hull, Hunter, > Hunters, Huntt, Hurst, Husk, Hutchinson, Hutchinsons, Hutt, > Jackson, Jacobs, James, Janney, Jefferey, Jefferson, Jenifer, > Jenkins, Jenny, John, Johns, Johnson, Johnston, Jones, Judy, > Keen, Keith, Kemp, King, Kirk, Kirkland, Kitchen, Kloman, Koon, > Krouch, Kurhling, Lamphier, Landstreet, Lane, Langfier, Lasswell, > Lawfull, Lay, Lee, Lees, Lewis, Lewises, Lindsey, Linton, > Littlejohn, Lockwood, Love, Loves, Loyd, Lucas, Lumley, Lund, > Lynton, Macgill, Machen, Macrae, Madden, Madison, Manley, > Marshall, Martin, Mason, Masons, Massey, Masterson, Mc.Bee, > Mc.Carty, Mc.Cartys, McCarty, McCartys, McGill, McIlhenny, > McWhorter, Meade, Meckby, Melton, Mercers, Middleton, Milstead, > Minor, Moncure, Monroe, Monteith, Moore, Morton, Moscrope, > Moseley, Moss, Mosses, Moxley, Muir, Munroe, Murray, Musgrove, > Neale, Neill, Netherton, Nevitt, Newton, Newtons, Nisbett, > Noland, Norton, Offutt, Omohundro, Osborn, Osborne, Owen, Owsley, > Packard, Page, Payne, Peabody, Peak, Peake, Pendleton, Penson, > Perin, Perkins, Peyton, Piper, Platt, Pollard, Popejoy, Porter, > Posey, Potter, Powell, Presley, Price, Pritchett, Ramey, Ramsay, > Ramsey, Randolph, Ratcliffe, Ratcliffes, Reagan, Reagans, Reardon, > Reid, Richardson, Roberts, Robertson, Robinson, Roe, Ronks, Ross, > Rumsey, Russell, Ryers, Saintclare, Samford, Sanders, Sands, > Sanford, Saunders, Scandall, Scott, Seal, Sears, Sebastian, > Selectman, Shaddedin, Shaw, Shelton, Shortridge, Simmonds, > Simpson, Slaughter, Smallwood, Smith, Smiths, Sommers, Sparks, > Specht, Spurr, Stephens, Steptoes, Stoddert, Stone, Straham, > Stribling, Stuart, Stuarts, Sturman, Stutt, Summers, Talbot, > Taliaferro, Tayloes, Taylor, Tebbs, Terrett, Terretts, Theisz, > Thomas, Thomases, Thompson, Thornton, Thorntons, Thrift, Tillett, > Towners, Townsend, Trammel, Trammell, Triplett, Turley, Turner, > Valandigam, Veal, Violet, Violett, Wade, Wagener, Wait, Waite, > Walker, Wallis, Ward, Warden, Wardens, Warner, Washington, > Washingtons, Watson, Waugh, Weems, West, Westmoreland, Weston, > Wheeler, White, Whitford, Whittle, Wiley, Wilks, Williams, Willis, > Windsor, Winsor, Withers, Wren, Wright, Wyatt, Wythe, Young > > > > > **************************** > Visit: http://www.dmkheritage.com > To check on the latest County Histories and Parish Records on CDs > Indexed and searchable > > > > > ==== VAFAIRFA Mailing List ==== > E-mail List Mom at mailto:daisysroots@yahoo.com > http://www.rootsweb.com/~vafairfa/ > > ============================== > Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records. > New content added every business day.
