Posted on: IsleofWight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/573 Surname: Cone, Macon, Mackcone, Macoane, Mackeone ------------------------- Isle of Wight County, Va records such as Marriage digests,Wills and Administrations, and Nugents' Pioneers and Cavaliers reflect various spellings of what seems to be the same family. Immigration patterns indicate descendants may have gone to Bertie, Halifax, Martin, and Beaufort counties in North Carolina during the 1700's, where there are records of William Cone, Neal Cone and Peter Cone. Were these three brothers, and sons of William Mackeone whose Isle of Wight County, VA LW&T dtd Nov. 10, 1711 shows sons of the same names. Did the sons drop the "Mack" prefix on moving to Carolina??

Posted on: IsleofWight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/571 Surname: UZZELL ------------------------- Does anyone have information about Thomas UZZELL, a Huguenot who settled in Virginia circa 1700? He may have been part of the Manakintown settlement. He ultimately purchased land by 1713 in Isle of Wight County, where he remained for the rest of his life. If anyone has seen his name on any ships' list, church roll, family Bible, etc., I will appreciate hearing from you. All tidbits are important! Thanks!

That's very interesting information. I'm going to have to find a copy of that book! Still, I speculate that my earliest McClenny ancestor was probably actually a Clenny, or Clenney. I also saw a reference to a John MacLenny who emigrated from the UK in 1656, as well as a John MacLeny, also emigrating from the UK in 1656. It's speculated that these are actually the same person. Hard to tell. All that I know for sure is that my ancestor William C. McClenny was 56 years old in the 1850 Census of Isle of Wight County. His wife Elizabeth was 55. I haven't been able to locate William's parentage or even Elizabeth's maiden name. What would be the best place for me to look for this information? I wish I was closer to Virginia! I'm something of a novice at this genealogy stuff, the vast majority of my research has been on the Internet. Much of what I've learned also comes from speaking with family members I never knew I had. I really need to find out more about doing "real" genealogical research! Daniell (two Ls! I'm a girl!)

Posted on: IsleofWight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/566 Surname: Bryan, Joyner ------------------------- I don't know if we're talking about the same Joyner's, but I have 2 Bryan brothers from Isle of Wight Co., VA who married Joyner's. John Bryan (b. Jan. 2, 1692/93) married Elizabeth Joyner William Bryan (b. abt. 1697) married Sarah Joyner. I don't have any other information on Sarah or Elizabeth, but they could possibly be related to your Nehemiah Joyner. Let me know if we're on the same track.

Posted on: IsleofWight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/565 Surname: Bryan, Whitfield ------------------------- I think you're right. I'am related to you through Rachel's brother, Col. William Bryan, born in Bertie Co., NC. He married Elizabeth Smith, daughter of John Smith & Elizabeth Whitfield. Is she related to the same Whitfields? Rachel and William had 10 children: William, Elizabeth, Sarah, Patience, Bryan, Charity, Needham, Rachel, Mary, Louis. There was a "Female Whitfield" listed as their first child, but it looks like she died the same year she was born, 1742. Do you have the same children listed for them as I do? Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Posted on: IsleofWight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/564 Surname: WHITFIELD ------------------------- DENISE, Thanks for your reply. Yes, this is the same family that I am researching. I am also descendeded from the same William Whitfield that you are. His father was William Whitfield, born 1688, married to Elizabeth Goodman in 1713. I am looking for the parents of this William Whitfield. I believe the father was a Matthew Whitfield, but cannot document this. The truth is out there! Dave Whitfield

Posted on: IsleofWight County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/IsleofWight/563 Surname: Whitfield, Bryan ------------------------- I have a William Whitfield, Jr. in my lineage--he might be the son of the William Whitfield you're looking for. William Whitfield, Jr., married Rachel Bryan (daughter of Needham Bryan, Sr. & Annie Rombeau) on November 6, 1741 in Bertie Co., NC. Rachel's parents were from Isle of Wight Co., VA. Her parents as well as William Whitfield were born about the same time, moved to Bertie Co., NC--would all fit into what I have.
