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.
HI......MY INTEREST IS NOT SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE SHERIFFS......RATHER I WORK ON A DEPUTY SHERIFF: RICHARD LITTLEPAGE WHO WAS FIRST APPOINTED A DEPUTY BY HIS UNCLE GEDDES WINSTON IN 1783 AND CONTINUED ON AS A DEPUTY UNDER JOHN LAWRENCE, WILLIAM O. WINSTON AND WILLIAM ANDERSON UNTIL ABOUT 1789. I ALSO REVIEWED GARLAND ANDERSON WHO WAS GEDDES' PREDECESSOR. I HAVE A HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT BY JUDGE LEON BAZILE ON THE SHERIFFS OF HANOVER.......APPARENTLY "DISASTROUS" WOULD BE THE WORD TO DESCRIBE THE SHERIFFS OF HANOVER AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH IN THE POST REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD........I PREPARED A BRIEF PAPER ON THIS.......BUT AGAIN MY PRIMARY INTEREST IS IN RICHARD'S BROTHER WILLIAM LITTLEPAGE BORN ABOUT1756, MARRIED SUSANNA "SUKEY" SMITH IN 1782, AND DIED IN 1819 IN HANOVER.......ANY DATA YOU MAY HAVE ON WILLIAM AND SUKEY AND THEIR FAMILY WOULD BE GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED. .ERNIE JOHNSON [email protected] wrote: > My source for the Sheriff question is an article written and published in the > Hanover County Historical Society Bulletin, Vol 1.
