    3. In reply to your request about any data on any of the marriages of Stephens/Stevens George Herndon, married Elizabeth STEPHENSON not Stephens, this is confirmed in "The Herndons of the American Revolution" on page 15. Her parents were James Stevenson/Stephenson and wife Elizabeth "Betty" of Fauquier. "He (George) married Elizabeth Stevenson/Stephens, 1 Sep 1790. in Fauquier Co. Va. Born circa 1770 in Va. died after 1850, in Pr. William Co. Va. Census Reference 820031414. On George Herndon and Elizabeth Stevenson/Stephens marriage bond, Elizabeth was identified as Elizabeth "Stephens". John Herndon, probably Ge orge's Uncle was witness on the bond. On Jan 27 1793, George & his wife Elizabeth, deeded to William Sinclair for 12 Pounds---all rights, title, and interest which they had in the lands of James Stevenson, dec'd. Witnesses to the deed Will Brandford & James Hord (Fauquier Co Deed Bk 11, P. 169. It appears tha James Stevenson was the father of Elizabeth since George & Elizabeth received land before 1793 from the estate of James Stevenson. James Stephenson/Stevenson was a witness to the will of John Marr of New Hamilton Parish, Pr. William Co. Va. dated 8 May 1744, along with Stephen Smith & William Spark. Executors to the Will were David Marr & John Bradford. (Pr. Wiliam Co. Will Bk p. 482 James Stephenson's inventory was recorded on 10 Feb. 1790 and total 82. 10s. (Va 975 5275G685a, p.193 Abstracts of fauquier Co. Va. Wills, Inventories & accounts. This James Stephenson/Stevenson is my line and any help woud be appreciated. Mille

    1. Re: Lincoln's Fauquier Roots
    2. Denny Shirer
    3. While it is said in this post that Nancy Hanks father is not known, there are many families that do claim her. One of those is the family of John Hanks who was born in Maryland in 1765 and died in Loudoun Co., VA in 1805. His widow and sons Jeremiah, Stiles and Cephas Hanks and Daughter Elizabeth Hanks moved to Muskingum Co., OH and they married into other lines that had come to Muskingum from Loudoun Co. like the Adams, Mocks and Shiveleys to name a few. The Loudoun Adams are not to be confused with the Fauquier Adams that also moved to Muskingum Co., OH. John Hank's parents were William Hanks born 27 Apr 1739 in Annapolis, VA and Sarah Rolfe. John's family history has it that Nancy was his sister however, the obituary for Eliza Ann Starkey Sutton, the granddaughter to Jeremiah Hanks states the following: "Mrs. Sutton's grandfather, Jeremiah Hanks, was a first cousin of Abraham Lincoln. Abner Hanks, Mrs. Sutton's great grandfather, was a brother of Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks. The Jeremiah Hanks branch of the family moved from Virginia to Ohio, instead of Kentucky, as did the branch that became allied with the Lincoln family." This states that Jeremiah's father was Abner and not William as stated in other accounts of the family. Jeremiah's daughter Elizabeth married Haley Wilson Shirer, my 1st cousin, 4x removed. So according to the Muskingum Hanks clans, either William or Abner Hanks was the father to Nancy Hanks Lincoln. I'm sure many families can claim some relationship to Lincoln, it seems mine had a few if only by proximity. My 5x great grandmother, Elizabeth Kirby Shirer/Scheurer, was born and married in Berks Co., PA. The Kirby's were Quakers and belonged to the Exeter meeting of which was the same meeting that included the Lincolns and Boones as members. Abraham Lincoln's grandfather, Capt. Abraham Lincoln was a member there as was Daniel Boone's parents and the latter was born in Berks Co., PA as well before moving to the Carolinas. This is just one of those fun facts that make delving into our family history interesting and colorful.

    1. Lincoln's Fauquier Roots
    2. Sunday's Washington Post had a lengthy article by historian and cartographer Eugene Scheel about Fauquier and Loudoun counties in the 1860 election. See excerpt below -- you can read the complete story by going to the Post's website (registration required, but it is free) and searching for "Fauquier." (Stories are available only for a couple weeks, so this is one you will want to print out.) Scheel notes, later in the article: ==Lincoln had a family connection to Fauquier, though it was not then considered one to boast about. David Herbert Donald, in his 1995 biography "Lincoln," quotes Lincoln as telling his law partner, William H. Herndon, in the early 1850s that Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, was "the illegitimate daug hter of Lucy Hanks and a well-bred Virginia farmer or planter." Donald quotes Lincoln as saying in 1860, when his friends asked him for autobiographical information that might boost his chances for the presidency: "My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families -- second families, perhaps I should say." Nancy Hanks's father remains unidentified, but she was baptized in 1778 in the waters of Broad Run close to Broad Run Baptist Church. The church then stood atop Saint's Hill, a mile north of present-day New Baltimore. == Lincoln Was No Favorite at the Polls Sunday, October 17, 2004; Page PW06 In the 1860 presidential election, Fauquier and Loudoun county voters cast only 12 ballots for the winner, Abraham Lincoln. The previous year, an unexpected revolt had frightened or worried many people who might otherwise have voted for the man who saved the Union and brought an end to slavery. Loudoun and Fauquier were at the time the wealthiest counties in Virginia. Agricultural land sold for $20 an acre and more, the most expensive in the state. Corn, wheat and grain harvests were unsurpassed in the commonwealth and commanded high prices at the seaport of Alexandria, linked to the hinterlands by three well-kept toll roads. Prosperity continued after John Brown's Oct. 16, 1859, raid on Harper's Ferry. Brown's aim was to liberate and arm area slaves and set up an autonomous realm for them in the mountains of Maryland and western Virginia, where there were few slaveholders. That such an insurrection could happen only a half-mile from the Loudoun border -- even though it lasted just 2 1/2 days and involved 22 insurgents -- led to an abrupt change in the county's political climate, from apathy to uncertainty. There was outright fear in the Between the Hills and Lovettsville areas, a few miles from the ferry. Fauquier's reaction was more subdued, being 25 miles from the ferry at its closest point, the village of Paris. Furthermore, Fauquier's military companies were commanded by such experienced leaders as Brig. Gen. Turner Ashby and Capt. John Scott Jr. Gov. John A. Wise ordered three Fauquier and two Loudoun companies (about 250 men total) to the ferry. They spent most of their time drilling and on guard duty until their tour ended in mid-December with an oyster and champagne supper at Charles Town, where Brown had been tried and imprisoned and hanged Dec. 2. When the Fauquier companies returned home, they were feted by the women of Warrenton with a pre-Christmas ball at the old Warren Green Hotel.

Holmes and Helm are frequently used in place of each other, a mysterious Christopher Helm/Holmes often is involved in early Helm family documents (deeds, wills), the earliest Helm sightings are in just the time/location you mentioned, and Thomas is a very frequent name in the Helm family. I can't identify any Thomas Helm that has had an unknown spouse or one named Mary Reneau &c. however.

    1. New BBC series on genealogy
    2. I wonder how long it will be before one of the networks here, picks up this idea. Does anyone know if this broadcast is accessible on the Internet? "Who Do You Think You Are?" This major new TV series starting on 12 October on BBC 2 sees well known celebrities tracing their family roots and revealing secrets and surprises from their pasts. The series travels the globe as each celebrity embarks on a voyage of personal discovery, exploring their personal history and discovering fascinating facts that had been hidden by the passage of time. After each programme, viewers will be shown practical tips on how to trace their own family history and will be encouraged to do their own research, inspired by the celebrities’ stories. Complementing the BBC 2 series, Family Ties on BBC 4 is a collection of moving and inspiring stories of ordinary people who have discovered extraordinary events through their own genealogical research. The series will also be supported by 12 road shows and 300 Archive Awareness Campaign events across Britain. The culmination of these road show events will be "National Family History Weekend" on 4 and 5 December when local BBC radio stations will host a series of events in their area with the aim of bringing together new and more experienced family historians and providing a forum to help people research their family history.

    3. There are several Hardins John 153 General (lieutenant under Gen Daniel Morgan in Revolutionary army. born 1753 near Elk Run, killed in 1792 by Miami Indians while moving under a flag of truce, Hardin County Kentucky named in his honor. Mark 14, 15, 22, 43 -- early settler at Elk Run, 642 acre grant on west branch-most branch of Elk run. Martin 15, 43 -- son of Mark Hardin, operated Hardin's Ordinary Hardin's Ordinary 43 "HARDIN's... After crossing Deep Run Dalrymple reached " Harding's Ord". In 1716 Mark Hardin had several grants in the Elk Run settlement and so was one of the pioneer founders of Fauquier. In 1723 he appears further east "on the branches of Elk Run". It was here that his son, Martin Hardin, established an ordinary on the Shenandoah Hunting Path or Falmouth road. As all ordinaries were at the crossroads, it seems probably that it was at Hardin's Ordinary that the original "German Path" leading to Germantown left the Falmouth Road; as did the earliest road leading to the elk Marsh settlement." There is also a Lysander hill 73 -- Judge who held court in Fauquier County in 1869, and a Hill's Mill 119 -- from reminiscences of William Armstrong (1847-1938) "I remained in the quartermaster's Division for three months. In the spring of 1863, I joined the regular army-- Black horse Cavalry, Fourth Virginia regiment, under General Fitzhugh Lee, at Hill's Mill." this is all on these surnames Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "nancy hatcher" <nancy_hatcher12@yahoo.com> To: <VAFAUQUI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 9:21 AM Subject: [VAFAUQUI] Fauquer County,Virginia 1759-1959 book lookups > > Thank you Paul for your generous offer.

    3. Thank you Paul for your generous offer. Are there by any chance, HARDIN's or HILL shown? Nancy Subject: Fauquer County, Virginia 1759-1959 book lookups I have a new copy of the Fauquier County, Virginia 1759-1959 book by the Fauquier County Bicentennial committee if anyone would like a lookup. There is a lot of information on old land grants, grist mills, oridinaries, how land was acquired, famous sons, old houses with descriptions and some pictures, a Fauquier chronology, etc... If anyone would like to have me do a quick lookup in the index let me know. Paul www.yesterbooks.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
