    1. [VAFAUQUI] Rodham Tullos
    2. Amanda, Here is some more info and Thomas Conway is also mentioned in this.... Marianne Dillow ***************************************************************************************************************************** Rodham Tullos, son of John and grandson of Cloud Tullos Rodham Tullos (born 1712) moved by June 1735 from Northumberland County to Prince William County, Virginia, where he purchased 100 acres of land in Hamilton Parish from John Boystone. He appears in several records and is on a list of taxpayers in 1751. He lived in that part of Prince William County that became Fauquier County in 1759. The wife of Rodham Tullos was named Susannah. On "10 October 1769, Joshua Tullos and his mother, Susannah Tullos, transferred 100 acres of land in Hamilton Parish, Fauquier County, to Rodham Tullos for a consideration of 18 pounds sterling." Cohen Cochran believes that record indicates that Rodham Tullos (Sr.) had died before 1769 and his widow, Susannah, and son, Joshua, were transferring property which they had inherited to another son, Rodham Tullos (Jr.). The children of Rodham and Susannah Tullos were: 1. Joshua Tullos - born 1735 in Prince William Co. and died 1827 in Fauquier Co. Virginia. He married Gladys McDonald in Fauquier Co. in 1770. In his will Joshua spells his name "Tulloss" and his male descendants seem to have continued with that spelling. Joshua did name a son Rodham, but this Rodham Tulloss was born 1772 in Fauquier Co. VA and died 1840 in Williamson Co. Tennessee. 2. Richard Tullos - born about 1737 in Prince William Co. VA. His will in Fauquier Co. was the first one recorded in the newly created county. He apparently died unmarried, without issue, and left only a very small estate. Will of RICHARD TULLOS - Fauquier Co.

He married in 1764 in Fauquier Co. to Ann James Finnie, widow of John Finnie and daughter of John James. Rodham appears to have intermittently used the spelling Tulloss, as have some of his descendants. Rodham and Ann had seven children, including a son, Rodham, who was born 1780 in Fauquier Co. and died there 1842.
