Chocy, I have seen those also. One reason this interests me is because Edwin Conway, Sr and Martha Eltonhead are my 9th great grandparents and I descend from their daughter Eltonhead Conway that married Henry Thacker, Sr. Martha Eltonhead and her sisters are the daughters of Richard Eltonhead and Ann Sutton of England. i. Agatha Eltonhead married three times. (1) Luke Stubbins (2) Raplph Wormley, Sr (3) Henry Chicheley ii. Alice Eltonhead married three times and her second husbans is Henry Corbin. iii. Eleanor Eltonhead married twice and one was to Col. John Carter. He died Jun 1669 in Nomini Hall in Lancaster Co., Va. Several gifts were made by them to my next grandmother Eltonead Conway that married Henry Thacker, Sr. Among them was : "These p'sents witnesseth that I Col. John Carter of Rapn river in the County of Lancaster in Virginia Seq for ye love that I bear towards my niece Eltonhead the Daughter of Edwyn Connaway have been granted and assigned and have given order to be dlivered and do by these p'sents give grant assign and deliver unto Edwyn Connaway for ye use of ye said Eltonhead the oldest heifer that I have in ye possession and ye plantation of William Lucas on ye South Side of Rapn River coloured red and a flower de luce on both ears, to have and to hold ye said heifer withall her increase both male and female unto her ye said Eltnhead Connaway her heirs Exers admirs and Assn forever without ye lawful let or disturbance of any pson or psons whatsoever In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand ye 9th day of april al Dom 1656.

Chocy, I have seen this too. I have the Glassell book. But when I googled I saw more Carters from that original posting. and now I have forgotten that posters dates. I think it was a Landon Carter but I have seen several by the name of Landon. Anyway, to help I need those dates again but can't promise a answer.

Eltonhead Conway and Henry Thacker, Sr are my 8th great grandparents. Eltonhead is dau of Edwin Conway, Sr and Martha Eltonhead.  After Henry died Eltonhead married the second time to William Stanard. They had three children: i. Eltonhead Stanard ii. Sarah Stanard m. Barthlomew Yates iii. William Stanard m (i) Anne Hazelwood dau of Geoprge Hazelwood and Anne Robinson.... (2) Married Elizabeth Beverly dau of Harry Beverly and Elizabeth Smith. All of Middlesex Co., Va.   I have never traced these children out hardly at all but they would fall into the "half' lineages. Marianne Dillow Illinois

My 9th great grandparents are Edwin Conway, Sr and Martha Eltonhead. i. The death date of Edwin Conway, SR. is 1660/61 instead of Sep 1678 like Hayden had in the Glassell book. (Source: Va Col.
