Surnames: Waller, Weatherford Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VBC.2ACI/1322 Message Board Post: I'm researching Susanna WALLER who was married to William WEATHERFORD in 1699 in New Kent County, Virginia. I've seen a reference to Susanna's receiving "aid from the vestry in Hanover, Virginia." The researcher notes that "it [I'm assuming the Vestry record] stated that Susanna and William had the children John, William, Major and Lucy." I do not know if this would be St. Paul's Parish, St. Martin's Parish or another Parish in Hanover County. If Susanna was receving any type of aid, I can only imagine it was after she was widowed in 1756 & before she died in Lunenburg County in 1758. She left a will in Lunenburg County in which she left all her worldy goods (clothing and 6 pieces of pewter dishes) to her daughter, Lucy. Can anyone provide assistance with these Parish records in regards to my Susanna Waller Weatherford?
The entire vestry book from St. Paul' Parish is on-line at Ancestry.com: The Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parish Hanover County, Virginia 1706 - 1786 transcribed and edited by C. G. Chamberlayne There are a lot of lending library marks in the book and one says State Library of Utah... I saved the pages with my ancestor's name, John Starke, since he was on the vestry from the conception of the parish... Would someone please tell me what 'processioning lands' mean? I know I knew at one time... but that old demon age has blocked the memory! ;-( Thanks, Diane This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
