Hi........As I have it Garland Anderson 1781-1782 Geddes Winstron 1783-1784 John Lawrence 1785-1786 William Overton Winston 1787-1788 and also 1802-1804 William Anderson 1789-1790 John Syme 1791- Chapman Austin qualified 9 August 1800 but died before 16 October so did not in fact serve. John Thompson commisasioned 112 August 1804 and 25 September 1805 but I do not have the dates of his service Note there ARE SEVERAL REPORTED and very interesting LAWSUITS INVOLVING SOME OF THESE SHERIFFS PLUS SOME JUDGEMENTS FROM THE COMMONWEALTH FOR FAILURES TO ACCOUNT FOR COLLECTIONS. Much of my information comes from extensive notes by Judge Leon Bazile in the VHS. I DID NOT DO A COMPLETE STUDY AS MY INTEREST FOCUSSED ON RICHARD LITTLEPAGE WHO SERV ED AS A DEPUTY UNDER SEVERAL OF THE SHERIFFS.

Regarding the surnames Gibson and Anthony. In a book compiled by Rosalie Edith Davis entitled Louisa County, Virginia, Tithables and Census, 1743-1785, there are many listings for the surname Gibson (most are males, of course) and a few listings for Anthony. I note that the surname Gibson (with some females of that name) are indexed in Mrs. Davis's book Louisa County, Virginia Deed Books A and B, 1742-1759. In the event that you may want to purchase Mrs. Davis's well abstracted and indexed books on Louisa Co. and a couple on Hanover Co. (which has so many missing records), this is her e-mail address. I find her books are reasonably priced, and the indexes alone will save you hours of squinting over microfilm (which I also do, but with less pleasure, because I cannot take them home and ponder them!) [email protected] (W Davis) I do not know how long these books will be on the market as they are self-published and were compiled in the 1970s. Many mentions are made of early residents of Hanover Co., which helps put those persons in a time and in a place. E.W.Wallace

My source for the Sheriff question is an article written and published in the Hanover County Historical Society Bulletin, Vol 1. Harold E. Bradley, the current sheriff in 1982, compiled a list of all of the sheriffs since Hanover's formation in 1721. I will try later this week to type out the entire list for the list (pun intended) when I have a little time. If I do not, someone please tap me on the shoulder. I am a member of many lists and spend quite a lot of time deleting useless information (that is to me) but I will continue to read each and every message in the hopes that I will find something in someone else's query or answer that will further my own research. I also occasionally find that I can help someone even though it does not relate to my own family! T.L.

re: Is there too much personal communication going on? Answer: No. My reasoning is sometimes info needs to go around the block several times before someone has a "Eureka!" moment. Usually a thread will run it's course in due time. If anyone objects, I would suggest un-subbing for a bit & re-subbing in a few days. Then there is the trusty <delete> key. A good rule of thumb is take a deep breath, delete & move on. As moderator, I prefer the free flow of info, even it it means some info is posted many times. Lyn

I have no problem with those who do not wish to go the e-mail route. However, there is a limit as to any subject especially when the only statement is that someone "is part of my line too".

How about those of us who don't want to do direct e-mail? Maybe we want to be included?

Is there too much personal communication going on? Much of this sheriff information could be done between the parties by direct e-mail.

Looking for information on the Gibson family in Hanover in the 1800's. Robert Gibson married Melvina Anthony. They were on the 1870 Hanover census in the Beaver Dam District. One of their sons was named William James Gibson who married Alice Smith of Louisa Co., daughter of Robert Smith and Anne Durvin. If anyone knows the name of the parents of Robert Gibson and Melvina Anthony please let me know. Or any information that might lead me to Gibson or Anthony genealogy. The Anthony's could have been from Louisa where it bordered Hanover.

Good Morning, I am looking for information on the Chantilly Plantation that was once owned by David Chisholme Jr., I believe that the area was in Louisa County. Also is there a record of the tithables for the years 1800 to 1810 for that county. I am trying to find information on my grgrgrgrandmother who was a slave of David chisholme Jr, , he later took her to Chester,SC. Also looking for slaves sales in that area. any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Antoinette J. Russell O Lord my god , in thee I put my trust....... Psalm 7:1

Thank you so much for looking it up for me. I thought it was the land that the parish minister lived on and that the parish was on that land. It seemed to me that maybe in 1738 when this notation was made in the Vestry Book that the church had given up that particular piece of land. What do you think may be the reasoning for this entry? Thanks again.

My curiosity got the better of me & I had to look it up. ~Virginia http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06582a.htm Glebe Glebe (Lat. gleba) originally signified, in common law, any farm, estate, or parcel of land, and the word is so used in the Theodosian Code. But in ecclesiastical law it has become the technical term for land permanently assigned for the maintenance of the incumbent of a parish, and is the oldest form of parochial endowment. This use of the word is found in numerous medieval charters, of which Du Cange gives a few examples, and formerly no church could be consecrated unless thus endowed with a house and glebe. The fee-simple was held to be in abeyance, that is, without an owner in the eyes of the law, but the freehold belonged to the incumbent. It could be leased, sold, or exchanged, with the bishop's consent, and was sometimes allowed to be mortgaged for the purpose of repairing the parsonage or church. In England and Scotland, where glebe is held by the established Churches of those countries, there are now special laws regarding the leasing, sale, or exchange of such property, and all such transactions are subject to the a pproval of the land commissioners. In the Catholic Church, glebe, where it exists, is regarded as mensal property, and canon law regulates the conditions which govern its possession. The alienation of mensal property is now held by most legists to require the special permission of the pope, and even then only certain justifying causes are recognized, viz: (1) necessity, as when a church is overburdened with debt; (2) utility, or the opening for an advantageous exchange; (3) to redeem captives or feed the poor in time of famine; (4) convenience, as when the land is so situated that its produce cannot be gathered without great expense. Certain specified formalities have also to be complied with.
