Hi Sheri......Thanks but my Smith's I am confident come from Henrico and west.........I'm sorry about No Littlepages or Winstons......I wonder why? It is almost as if they were intentionally blanked out of the records.....They were both prominent families in the 18th century........Ernie Sheri T.

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, After looking at another book, "Some Wills From the Burned Counties of Virginia" by William Lindsay Hopkins, I found some info on the Littlepages and the Winstons. Listed under Hanover County-- James Littlepage Hanover-St.Paul 25 Oct 1766/4 Dec 1766 Land which I have bargained for with Francis Jordan of Louisa County. Children by my first wife (not named). Exors: Peter Randolph, Esq., William Bird, Esq., John Lewis of Spotsylvania, Thomas Doswell and Geddas Winston. Wit: Duncan Graham, Thomas Doswell, Samuel Overton. (Included with this copy of the will is the information that Col. James Littlepage married (1) Sarah Winston, daughter of Maj. William Winston and his wife Rebecca Winston. They had viz John Carter Littlepage, James Littlepage, William Littlepage, Richard Littlepage, and Frances Arnett Littlepage. Col. James Littlepage married (2) Elizabeth Lewis, daughter of Zachariah Lewis of Spotsylvania and they had viz General Lewis Littlepage and Mary Littlepage who married Robert S. Coleman of Spotsylvania. Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis Littlepage,the widow, married (2) Maj. Lewis Holladay of Spotsylvania County and had viz Waller Holladay and Nancy Holladay who in turn married Hugh Carron Boggs.) Tyler V.23 pp.57-59 Hope this is of some help to you. Sheri Millikin
