In fact, Hayes ran a sawmill on the site. What is not so clear is where Woodville sat. One theory is that Woodville ran from Hayes' Store in the direction of Timberneck Creek. The other is that it stretched from Hayes' Store in the other direction towards Glass, Bray's Point and the Severn River. Which, if either, is correct? Where did the homeplace sit ?

Anyone familiar with genealogical research in Gloucster Co., VA knows that the destruction of practically all pre-Civil War records poses a very serious problem in researching families which resided there. I wish to pose a question to the subscribers of this list. Is it at all unusual to find few, perhaps no, records for a person, especially if they lived a short life, in Gloucester Co., VA during the colonial period, given the destruction of records? Fortunately, some families maintained family records which are preserved, but even some of the oldest Gloucester Co., VA families have meager public records to attest to their residence in the county. Thank you. C. Ward CMW12635@aol.com

VA. Also his son George Wm. Plummer 1720 and grand son Kemp Plummer b.1767 VA. joemcdo@flash.net

I would like to start a new category on the Gloucester Co. web site of names of plantations or homes. So often I get emails from people inquiring as to if I had ever heard of such and such place and where was it located. Sometimes I can help and other times I have to send it to the lists. Today I received an email from Bill Dancy in Yorktown seeking the location of "Mill Hill". He believes it to be on the North River in the Toddsbury, Elmington, Exchange area. Does anyone have any info on Mill Hill? This is the reason for making up this list. I had started my own list earlier, but when my hard drive died earlier this year, so did the list. If anyone has any place names that they would like to submit, please send them to me and I will enter them on the Gloucester Co., VaGenWeb site. Please include a Rt. number or where it can be located. Also, if you know a certain place was sold and the name was changed, please include that info too for cross referencing. Don't forget to include the owners names!! Thanks!! Jane

Surnames: Cooke Burroughs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hAC.2ACE/999.1002.1 Message Board Post: Dear Roane - Thanks for your note. Yes, I am well aware that the public records are relatively empty of information on Elzy Burroughs in Gloucester County. He shows up in the Mathews County census of 1810, and extensively in Princess Anne records after he moved there in 1810. My knowledge of the Burroughs presence in Gloucester County is from more unusual sources. A recent report being compiled by the Mathews County Historical Society regarding the history of New Point Comfort Lighthouse, built by Elzy Burroughs, includes extensive information on the construction phase of that project. The report includes the following: "Elzy Burroughs was first mentioned in a letter from Philip Tabb, Gloucester County, Virginia, dated December 15, 1801, in which Tabb commends Mr. Burroughs "as an honest industrious man, who has worked much & faithfully for me & my neighbors." The report goes on to state the following: "Elzy was supported in another petition from Modecai [sic] Cooke, Wm. Booth and Thomas Baytop, Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia, dated January 23, 1802: The bearer Mr. Elzy Burroughs wishing to engage in more extensive business than can be obtained in the circle of his own neighborhood we the undersigned tho' strangers to you beg leave to recommend him to you as an honest industrious sober diligent man and who in our opinions will faithfully execute and perform any contract he may engage in; this we are authorized to declare from our own knowledge, Mr. Burroughs having been considerably engaged in doing public work at this place which he executed in a neat handsome and workmanlike manner. Thus much we have thought proper to declare of Mr. Burroughs's integrity ability and promptness, indeed we might add more but we deem it unnecessary." Moreover, consider the following reference to Elzy Burroughs and Mordecai Cooke in the papers of Christopher Tompkins of Mathews County: 1996 by University Publications of America. Slavery in Ante-Bellum Southern Industries Series C: Selections from the Virginia Historical Society Part 1: Mining and Smelting Industries Found at http://www.lexisnexis.com/academic/guides/african_american/southern_industries/slavec1.htm "Section 3 consists of ten items, deeds, 1804-1822, to John Patterson (for land in Mathews County, Virginia) from Richard Billups (concerning the glebe, Kingston Parish [witnessed by Henry Degges, John D. Jarvis, and Robert Larus] and bears affidavit of John Patterson), Joshua G. Brown (witnessed by George Brown, Richard Brown, and Peter Foster), Josiah Lilly Deans (bears deed of Elzy Burroughs to Josiah Deans (witnessed by Mordecai Cooke, Benjamin Dabney, Josiah Lilly Deans, and Taylor Williams] and affidavit of John Patterson),..." The Casemate Museum at Fort Monroe has information on Elzy Burroughs as builder of the Old Point Comfort lighthouse that is located there which identifies Elzy as a resident of Gloucester Court House, Virginia. The above material does not prove that Elzy was a resident of Gloucester County. He may have been a resident of Mathews County doing business in Gloucester. Moreover, Mathews had only split from Gloucester ten years earlier in 1790, so there may have been some confusion between the two counties by these sources caused by that fact. Nevertheless, this is what I have to work with. The purpose of my original post was to determine if anyone else has seen a connection between these two men, Elzy Burroughs and Mordecai Cooke, and, more importantly to me as a researcher of Elzy Burroughs, to determine if anyone researching Mordecai Cooke might have run across information that sheds a bit more light on the important but enigmatic Elzy Burroughs. FYI - I will also be posting this to the Gloucester message board. Again, thanks for your note.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Cooke Burroughs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hAC.2ACE/999.1002 Message Board Post: My collateral ancestor is Elzy Burroughs, resident of Gloucester Court House around 1800. He built New Point Lighthouse, and two others. He also apparently built many public buildings in the Tidewater, Virginia area. Twice, Mordecai Cooke's name shows up in records related to Elzy Burroughs. When Elzy applied to the U.S. Government to build New Point Light, Mordecai was one of three men who attested to his character as a neighbor and local builder in Gloucester Court House. When Elzy issued a deed for some land, Mordecai Cooke was one of the witnesses to the deed. I am not sure, of course, if this is the same Mordecai that you refer to here, but I am curious if you have seen anything in your search regarding the connection between these two men. Thank you and good luck in your search!

Surnames: WADE, WAID, WAADE, or WAIDE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hAC.2ACE/1210 Message Board Post: To the WADE, WAIDE, WAAD, or WAID Researchers: While researching your specific line of Wade's, I'm sure you have come across a Wade that could not be connected to your family or you have an illusive Wade that seems to have vanished in thin air. This a project by amateur genealogists who want to learn as much as we can about our ancestors, the Wade's. Our intention is to compile the information and share it with anyone who would like a copy of it for free of charge. This project has three (3) goals: 1. Several Wade's arrived in America along the Atlantic coast in the early 1600's. It is strongly believed that most of these Wade's were related. We would like to compile information or lineages on these individuals and this may lead us to their relationships and their origins. If they are already included in "The Wade Genealogy" by Stuart Charles Wade, they have a lineage established, however if they are not in this book, but arrived onto the Atlantic coast of the states, please let us know and we will include them in the "Wade Project". 2. The second goal is to create a lineage for each of these Wade's. This is where we connect that extra Wade we found doing research or find that illusive Wade that vanished. We also hope to find some leads to the parentage of our oldest family member, Edward Wade, born circa 1611. 3. The ultimate goal is to create the most comprehensive database of Wade's in the United States including any spelling of WADE, WAADE, WAID or WAIDE. Following is a list of those early Wade's that came from London to Virginia, but if you have another Wade, not on the list, we would like to have any information you have to possibly connect them. Name Age Ship Sail Date Edward Wade 24 Paul July 2, 1635 George Wade 16 St Christopher 1635 George Wade 19 Primrose July 27, 1635 John Wade 21 Constance October 24, 1635 Phillip Wade n/a n/a n/a Richard Wade n/a n/a n/a Robert Wade 35 Paul 1635 Thomas Wade n/a n/a 1637 William Wade 33 St Christopher 1633 William Wade 33 St Christopher 1634 If you are a descendant of one of these or any Wade's, will you help and send your information to June Nevar ( jnevar@attbi.com ). In the subject line please put your ancestor's name, birth date and ship name ( ex. Edward Wade, b. 1610/11, Paul ). This will help us keep the information on your lineage in the correct file. Please include documentation, such as wills, deeds, census, etc. or a source location for your documentation. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.
