Dear Margo, Here's why your post is of such great interest at least to me. My 5x great grandfather was Alexander McConchie of Fauquier County, Va. The earliest mention I think I have found of him was concerning the inventory of Capt. Robert Knox of Maryland in which he was named along with Lott Hackley and JAMES ALLEN. Have been searching to identify who that JAMES ALLEN could have been? Lott Hackley I know and his sister in law, Mildred (Reeds) Brown married James Stigler. They had son James Stigler who married Ann Field Allen. But I've not been able to find out who the JAMES ALLEN was who accompanied Lott Hackley and Alex. McConchie to do inventory. Here is the record that really ties in with the Will of of James Allen that you were so kind to share. JAMES STIGLER, gdn. of Nancy Pendleton, orph. of George Pendleton, dec'd. 23 October 1820, For $50. Sec: Peter Wiggenton. J.P.: William Skinker, Chandler Peyton, James Pickett, Alexander D. Kelly. Wit: Thos. C. Kelly, D.F.C. [Note: George Pendleton was married May 27, 1801... Below record has George Pendleton m. FNU Allen, sister of Ann F. Allen & Elizabeth Allen. Sally Allen married George Pendleton and she is named "SALLY KIRK PENDLTON" in Will of James Allen. We believe that the William Jones, Jr. below to be the son of William Jones m. Diadema HOLMES. Diadema Holmes had brother Nathaniel S. Holmes. (Spelling HOOMES, etc.) For those of you that have been trying to solve who the Charles Jones was that married Ann Childs, the witness GEORGE ELLIS on Will of JAMES ALLEN may turn out to be a very benefical lead! Explain that in separate email for those trying to sort out JONES lines in Fauquier County. Thanks again, Margo for sharing! Amanda Court Record Data Context Extract Bill of Sale - slave Ann F.

Margaret, The ALLEN family mentioned in this will are very familar to me. My first known ALLEN ancestor was John ALLEN Sr., born abt. 1645 and married Barbara WITHERS. Their son, William ALLEN, born in Stafford Co., Va. in abt. 1675, married Margaret WAGGONER. Their daughter, Dinah ALLEN married John JAMES. They lived in Fauquier Co., Va. I don't know who the ALLENS were in the will you posted, but I am quite sure they are the same family of ALLENS. Velma Finley **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Ossumus HURT (son of Joel and Nancy [SMITH] HURT), my 2nd g-grandfather, was married 8 Apr 1837 in Fauquier Co., VA to Sarah Frances BUSSEY. Would like to corroborate Ossumus' birth place (believe was 15 Nov 1812). Also, would like to find supporting evidence of his and/or his family owning many slaves. Thank you.

Margo, Wow! What a timely Will you've posted. I'm working on this line because I'm trying to find out who the James Allen was who did the inventory along with Lott Hackley and Alex. McConchie of Capt. Robert Knox of Maryland. Henry Allen married Catherine McConchie, d/o of Alexander McConchie and Ann LNU. June has done extensive work on these lines and have provided me with many records. I'd like to share a few that will tie in with the one you've posted. Thank you!
