By any chance is this John Henry Timberlake the son of Chapman Timberlake Nd Letitia Browning?

Dear Subscribers, Some of you old hands know that the county boundaries in Virginia (and elsewhere) changed frequently. I am told (haven't verified in print) that the courthouse should not be more than a day's horseback ride away. Hence, new counties all the time. The opening pages of an order book will frequently state that the court met at someone's home. I found this out when I was researching colonial Goochland Co., which had been formed from Henrico Co. The geography got so confusing that I purchased from Iberian Press a large (but not thick) atlas compiled by Michael Doran. The title is something like Atlas of County Boundary Changes in Virginia. This applies to early Kentucky also. My copy is getting dogeared, and I am hoping I can reduce some of the pages on the photocopier to take with me on a research trip to Salt Lake City. There is one at SLC but who wants to interrupt research to go to the Us map area all the time. I believe Iberian Press has a website. Try search engine google. Thanks for all the recent postings. My folks went elsewhere--or else the county divided, but among the early settlers of both NC and KY were my Hanover Co. people. E.W.Wallace

See: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/7906/jhtlake.html John Henry Timberlake Excerpted from the Richmond Times Dispatch - June 18, 1997 Biography Identifies General Jackson's Guide By: Jim Mason, Times Dispatch Staff Writer By the time Confederate Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's troops arrived, two hours behind expectations, the Civil War Battle of Gaines' Mill was already raging in Hanover County. It was June 27, 1862, the beginning of the weeklong series of engagements that would become known as the Seven Days Battles. Confederate infantry had attacked the center and left of Union Gen. Fitz John Porter's entrenched infantry and artillery on the hilltop above Boatswain's Swamp four miles east of Mechanicsville. Jackson's orders were to turn the right flank of the Union army besieging Richmond. Gen. George B. McClellan's army of the Potomac was poised in battle lines extending across the Chickahominy River east of the Confederate capital. However, because of the late arrival and his soldier's slow advance through the swampy terrain, Jackson -- famous for his swift marches and lightning attacks days earlier in Shenandoah Valley -- failed to move quickly. After Jackson's attack faltered, Gen. Robert E. Lee launched a Confederate assault along the entire Federal line. The Confederates drove the Federals into retreat, but suffered heavier casualties than they might have if Jackson had been able to move swiftly. Historian's say Jackson's movement to the battle zone was delayed, in part, by enemy sharpshooters and obstructions left in the roads leading to his planned attack position north of Old Cold Harbor. Another explanation is that Jackson's guide took him down the wrong road, which sounds as if the guide didn't know where he was going. But thanks to information from 81-year old Donald C. Timberlake of Atlee, whose grandfather was Jackson's guide that day, details of what happened are part of a newly published and acclaimed book. Dr. James Robertson, Jr., in his new biography, "Stonewall Jackson: The Man, the Soldier, the Legend", reveals the guide's identity for the first time in a Civil War book. He was 26 year old Private John Henry Timberlake of the 4th Virginia Cavalry. Robertson wrote: "Private Timberlake was a natural candidate to guide General Jackson. His family farm -- Rutland -- was located at Atlee Station on the Virginia Central Railroad midway between Ashland and Gaines' Mill. Thus, it is very likely that Jackson's prescribed route would have been familiar to Timberlake, who, at 26 years of age was well traveled." Indeed, just two weeks earlier, Private Timberlake demonstrated his knowledge of the area's roads when he rode with J.E.B. Stuart around McClellan. Confederate Veteran John Henry Timberlake died in 1900. His grandson, Donald, says that his grandfather was born at Rutland, the family home, and earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Virginia in 1857 and a Master of Arts degree there in 1858. Donald Timberlake possesses some 40 letters written by John Henry Timberlake during the Civil War to the woman who became his wife, Gertrude Bowe. (She died in 1910). In a June 16, 1862 letter mailed from Richmond to Gertrude Bowe, cavalryman John Henry Timberlake told about his ride [with Jackson].... "We have just returned from a circuit of the Yankee Army. We started from Ashland and came through Charles City and along the James River. We had a gay time, losing only one man, Capt. Latane of Essex, an old friend of mine, and three wounded. We took one hundred and seventy prisoners, about two hundred mules, and burnt upwards of one hundred wagons loaded with provisions for the army as well as three vessels loaded with coffee... I took some seven prisoners and mounted them on horses and made them lead mules. It is thought by Genl. Stuart that we damaged the Yankees to the amount of two millions of dollars. I am dressed in a full Yankee uniform." John Henry Timberlake, also known as "J.H." and "Jack", remained in Stuart's cavalry. His assignment as a guide for Jackson was only for the one battle. In the same July 4, 1862 letter in which he told of serving as Stonewall Jackson's guide, Timberlake summed up his view of the Seven Days Battles he had survived unscathed.. "The enemy has been driven back to his gunboats with the loss of many lives and much property and many prisoners, yet we too have paid dearly for our victories." =========================================================================== Charles L.

Somewhere in my material Kate Light Barlow is mentioned. She is connected to our Campbell line. Contact me at the below e-mail address. I have a large family document that was written in the 1870's or so that gives the known relatives of William Sally Campbell, who died in Texas. His father was James Campbell and his mother was Mary Austin, daughter of Thomas Austin. We are connected through his brother James Austin Campbell. Fred Thoni St. Paul, MN [email protected]

Shirley: There are a bunch of references to a James Turner (the father?) in 1752 for "keeping" a Charles Goodin and a number of children for a James Turner way back in the 1710s (that James Turner d. 1718). Then in 1755 there's a birth for George son of James and Hannah Turner, March 5 (same date but different year as your James!) and in 1760 a Mary to the same parents, June 12. Lots of Turners but no James b. 1753. Looking for George... Hannah d to George Turner b. Jan. 14 1690/1 Robert son of George and Judeth Turner bapt 7 Aug 1698 Pennenah d of George Turner bapt 21 July 1700 Will son of George Turner bapt 17 Jan 1702/3 Elizabeth d of George Turner Ju bapt 13 Feb 17?? Mary d of George Turner bapt 29th Xbr 1707 George Turner d. March 6 1717 No Middletons, and no George or James after these. Again, lots and lots of Turners. I suspect that if you can find the father of your 1738 George that he's in here somewhere and you can jump way back. He'd be the right age (and there's the naming after your father) to be the son of the 1702 Will, for example. Don't know if this helps at all--good luck!

Dear David, Apologies for waiting so long to be in touch and take you up on your kind offer. I should have been far more specific with the Turners I put online....but being a novice at this .....it flew away before I got the dates inserted. I am seeking information in regard to James Turner, SR born 5 march 1753 thought to be in or around Culpepper, VA. He was married to Margaret Headen/Heyden/Haydon (other varients). It is said they were married in upstate SC since she supposedly was born and reared in what is now Spartanburg County, SC about 1770. James Turner, SR was in SC in his early youth with his father. It is said that this particular George Turner (father of above James, SR) was born 1738 in Culpepper County, VA area, died 16 March 1804 in Spartanburg County, SC. According to a family bible which I have not seen nor seen copy from says that this George Turner was married to Hannah Middleton who was born about the same time as George Turner. They had one child, this son named James. She disappears at this juncture....death during childbirth, death from other cause, simply left the man, divorce? (not in those days?). George then moves to SC with his young son James where he later met and married again. I would like any confirmation to any of the above, would like to know parents of George Turner, his siblings....and of course a real push is on to locate place of burial for Hannah Middleton, her parent and siblings. I have searched for Hannah for some 30 years to no avail. I did the SC Middleton family ...lots of Hannah's but none that match up with a marriage with George, also the Maryland Middletons with same success (or lack), have done research in what is now West Virginia and a good deal of research in Virginia. Family tradtion says her father was one Thomas Middleton...about as common as the name Hannah! There was a Jane Middleton with two minor children Lettice and Hannah.....but no further records found for that group. Any leads would be appreciated, any data you can share would be appreciated for any of the above! Thanks!

Ernie, The plan of "Newcastle Town" in Hanover Co., showing who had possession of which plots as of 1751, lists Lot No.12 James Littlepage, Occupant Hyndman & Donald Lot. No.24 Edd. Littlepage, Occupant Donald & Hyndman Lot No. 36 Edd. Littlepage, Occupant Jno. Thompson Lot No. 44 Rchd. Littlepage, Occupant himself Book also mentions "South Wales" James Littlepage (b.1714) was the son of Richard Littlepage, who was a large landowner in what is now King William County. James married Sarah Winston, daughter of Major William Winston, and moved to South Wales. He was Clerk of Louisa Court in 1742, a colonel in the Hanover Militia, and a Burgess from Hanover in 1764-65. He died in 1768. On the farm there is a stone to Sarah Winston Littlepage saying "Here lies interred the body of Sarah Littlepage, wife of Col. James Littlepage and daughter of Maj. William Winston. Born 27 day Sept 1733. Departed this life 5 April 1761 and left issue John Carter, James, William, Richard, Frances." They were married before 1752 as shown by her name on a deed of that date. Col. Littlepage's second wife was Elizabeth Lewis. They had Lewis Littlepage, who was to become well known in Europen, being sent by Bejamin Franklin as secretary to John Jay, Ambassador to Spain, later going to Poland and, according to one story, becoming at one time the court favorite of Catherine The Great of Russia. Lewis was only four when his father died and his mother took him and his older sister back to her home, Belle Air, in Spotsylvania County, The land was put up for sale in Williamsburg and Charles Carter bought it. "Hickory Hill" In 1735 John Carter bought from John Littlepage 500 acres on the south side of the Pamunkey River. In 1768 his son Charles added 3,184 acres from James Littlepage's estate, known as South Wales. Those are the only mentions I see other than 1 other where someone bought land from the Littlepage family. Hope this helps Couirtlee

Ernest, You could try www.genforum.com and see if anyone else is researching your particular line of Littlepages. Many families were travelers and it could be that they simply packed up and headed elsewhere. Who knows, but that might be a place to start anyway. Sheri ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest E.

Ernest, I found nothing in that particular book on the Littlepages nor the Winstons in this particular book, but did find several Smiths mentioned/included. All the Smiths mentioned were born mid-late 1800's and are below: John Wesley Smith b.Aug 7, 1871, son of William Henry Smith and Mary Frances Brannan. Like his father, he became a miller and ground corn meal. After his father died, May 8, 1892, he worked at the Haw's Mill at Studley to support his mother and three sisters. At the age of 33, he married Mary Frances Tyler, age 17, on April 27, 1904. He ran, for awhile, the mill known as "Beatties", bu that location did not have a large enough water supply to support his needs. In 1927, he purchased the old mill known as "Gibson's" or "Gilman's" next to Gethsemane Church of Christ. Here he raised seven children to maturity. He was head elder at Salem Presbyterian Church until he died Oct 5, 1969 at age 98. He is buried beside his wife, "Fannie", at Salem Presbyterian Church. Bettie Smith, daughter of William Henry Smith and Mary Frances Brannan b. Dec 19, 1879 at "Quinces Creek". On Aug 16, 1899, she married Joseph Boxley Bowles, a sawmiller, age 22. James Osborne Smith, son of Burrill Smith and Mary Elizabeth Southward. b. Sept 6, 1887 and married at age 22, Selena Lloyd Snead, age 17, daughter of William F. Snead and Mary E. Warden, on March 9, 1910. He died Nov 27, 1965. Buried Smith family cemetery, one mile southeast of Studley Post Office. Willetta Smith, daughter of Burrill Smith and Mary E. Southward. b. Mar 31, 1874. She married James Thomas Gentry, son of Coleman Gentry and Betty Tyler, on May 11, 1909, when he was age 40. Martha "Mattie" E. Smith b.July 21, 1884 to Burrill Smith and Mary E. Southward. At age 22, she married William Preston Tate on Oct 31, 1906 I checked the 1850 Hanover Co Census and found no Littlepages there either. The 1810 VA Census for Hanover Co did list two Littlepages, John and William. Hope this helps! Sheri ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest E.

Hi Courtlee.......My interest focuses on William Littlepage who was born 1756 and died 1819; He married Susanna "Sukey" Smith in 1782 and inherited a life estate from Thomas Winston in a farm near Totopotomoy Creek I believe 12 miles SE of the Hnaover Courthouse. This farm was taxed to his brother John Carter Littlepage until 1805. In 1805 William appears on the tax rolls with 350 acres on Stoney Run 8 miles SW of the Hanover Courthouse which was taxed to him until 1819 and to his Estate thereafter to 1831. I need more data on his children and any other Littlepage data. My data indicates William and Sukey had 6 children, 3 of whom went to Greenbrier County West Virginia and 3 of whom went to Madison County Alabama. But hard data is scant and anything would be appreciated. William was the son of Col James Littlepage and his wife Sarah Winston of South Wales. Frances Arnott Littlepage Stevenson; John Carter Littlepage; James Littlepage of Pole Green; and Richard Littlepage the ill-fated deputy sheriff were his siblings.

HI Shari.......This "Eastern Hanover Family Album" intrigues me My wife's descent is from Col James Littlepage of South Wales.He was a son of Richard Littlepage of Cumberland in New Kent County. One of his sons was James Littlepage who had 400 acres near Pole Green in Hanover until about 1795-6 and later had 125 acres in the same area from about 1804. Another son was William Littlepage who inherited a life estate in 250 acres from Thomas Winston 12 miles SE of the Courthouse about 1785; This property came into the hands of another son John Carter Littlepage until about 1805 when it left the tax rolls. William Littlepage acquired 350 acres on Stoney Run 8 miles SW of the Courthouse in 1805. Col James Littlepage had married Sarah Winston and died in 1766; William Littlepage married Susanna "Sukey" Smith in 1782 and died in 1819. I need more data on William and Sukey and their children. What do you have on the Littlepages??????? Anything and everything would be appreciated. Ernie Johnson Sheri T.

I am seeking information on the ancestors and descendants of Thomas Grubbs and his wife, Martha Cole Anderson Grubbs, daughter of John and Sarah Anderson. Thomas and Martha were married in Louisa County, 7 Nov. 1799. Thomas died 15 Nov 1820 in Louisa County and his will is on file there. They had 7 children: Sarah Jennings, John B., Harriet H., Frances C., MaryF., Susan A., and Thomas Anderson. Thomas Anderson Grubbs was born 8 Jan 1807 and on 17 Jun 1833, married Cecily Elizabeth Anderson in Goochland Co.. They had issue 9 children. Around 1838, they along with Martha Anderson Grubbs moved to Clarksville, TN and from there, about 1847 to Calhoun Co., AR. I believe this family had close ties to the Anderson's of Goldmine in Lousa County and with other families in the New Kent - Louisa - Hanover - Goochland area.

I'm sorry, I used to work with Chuck King, and He said that Robert Stubbs was his father's cousin. There was an incident where Sherman was working on his car or truck in Stubbs garage, and the jack gave way, and Sherman's foot was injured. That's when Chuck said that it was not a great idea to work on a car in your cousin's garage, and he tried to tell his father that, and Sherman would not listen. If I got the facts about their relationship wrong, blame Chuck King - [email protected] wrote: > Joanne, Robert Stubbs is no kin to Sherman King. Sherman's mother does own > the Cool Well Home.
