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.
