I am having computer problems, anyone receive this message? Reply appreciated Thanks Naoma

No but would be interested in them. I'm looking for a connection between the Porters and Wilsons and/or Chinn family because my John Wilson and wife Elizabeth Travers Chinn named a son Samuel Porter Wilson and cannot figure out why he was named that. Also named a son Jacob Doddridge Wilson, same thing.... looking for connections. Both boys died fairly young but the Wilson name is giving me fits and hoping the Porter and Doddridge names will lend some insight.

Attention Janean Ray Hi, we have chatted before. I have rechecked all your family surnames again as I have a fairly large database, and cannot find any connection. I have to agree with your that if someone has the middle name of Porter, Samuel Porter Wilson, there should be a connection. The Porters were in Loudoun and perhaps were good friends of the Wilson family or neighbors. As everyone knows, I struggle to find the parents of my ggggrandfather Philip Porter b. abt 1754 married to Nancy Ann Brent. b. 1766. Perhaps one day, someone will read our emails and break down our brick walls As they say, "Don't give up". These mysteries keep us going.

I am looking for information on the early history of mining in Loudoun County around Leesburg and to the south. What kind of ore would have been mined? Were there any companies/business?

Land was the main reason. Maybe our Loudoun Co. guru's can help. My Richmond/Loudoun surnames were Chinn and Tarpley. Below are tid bits found about what was going on in that area. I am in no way any kind of an expert. I just search, copy and paste. Janean Not just Richmond but look at all the counties along the Chesapeake Bay area. All ships that came from England, etc going to Virginia had to arrive down by Virginia Beach through Newport News area into James River and into the Cities of Williamsburg and Richmond which is often confused with Richmond Co. Now going up the Chesapeake Bay they went up along the Rappahannock River into Middlesex, Lancaster, and Richmond Co's. among many others. If you follow the counties on up, through Westmoreland, King George, Stafford, Prince William, and into Loudoun we are now getting closer to Washington DC. In 1607, the first permanent New World settlement was established in Virginia on the James River, and a member of the traveling group -- John Smith -- began extensive exploration of the Bay. Most of those original colonists died in the first year, but the New World's population began to grow as more people and supplies came from England. Over the next 300 years of the Bay's time line, people built homes, farmed, started businesses and participated in a host of other activities that continue to affect the Bay today. Tobacco farming was introduced in the early 1600s, and within a few years, plantations covered the land - from Richmond to the Chesapeake Bay. The Colonists strip 20 to 30% of forests for settlements. They grow tobacco, which depletes the soil and causes erosion. Bay shipping ports begin to fill with eroded sediments and become too shallow for navigation. The Colonists begin to catch fish in nets. Probably the biggest reason for the migration was the Fairfax Land Proprietary. Lord Fairfax inherited from his mother, land between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers consisting of 5,282,000 acres In 1634 the Privy Council authorized the patenting of lands under the principle of granting patents to any person who qualified as a planter. In practice, the acreage was awarded to the person who paid the transportation cost of the emigrant and not to the settler himself. This method, called the headright system, was employed as the major means of distributing virgin lands in the 17th century. The Northern Neck, or "Fairfax Proprietary," consisted of 5,282,000 acres located between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. In 1649, King Charles II, then in exile, gave this unsettled region to seven loyal supporters, including Lord Fairfax. By 1688 most of the region was owned by Thomas, Lord Culpeper. Lord Culpeper's daughter married Thomas, Lord Fairfax, in 1690, and the region became synonymous with the Fairfax name. Agents of the Northern Neck proprietors issued the first land grant in 1690. Individuals purchased warrants for a specified amount of land in a particular location. The warrants were taken to a surveyer and the land surveyed. The plat and any accompanying papers were returned to the proprietor's office, and a grant was issued. In an effort to halt land speculation, an order was issued by the proprietor's office on March 26, 1765, forbidding the assignment of warrants or surveys. The Northern Neck Land Office continued to operate during the Revolution until Lord Fairfax's death in 1782. Fairfax family interest was terminated in 1808 when the last surviving heir sold his title to a syndicate. Until 1862 land grants in the Northern Neck issued by the commonwealth of Virginia were recorded in volumes maintained separately from the regular Land Office grants. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniela Moneta" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 11:02 AM Subject: [VARICHMO] Humphrey and Marks families > Dear Richmond County researchers, > > Some of my Pugh ancestors left Richmond County around 1770 and migrated to > Loudoun County, Virginia.

I got this somewhere back in '03. Cleaning up my scanned files, thought I'd share this.

Sorry for duplicate posts but am sending this out to the counties involved and/or mentioned in notes. Looking for bites. Anything on ANY of these people below however small is appreciated. Clues lurk everywhere. I am interested in confirming or eliminating the following: William Wilson b. 21 Aug. 1745 Kennett Sq. Chester Co. PA wife unknown...... could be possibly Lucy or Jane...... just a stab in the dark based on some naming patterns. Possible/probable sons: William R. Wilson b. 29 Jun 1765 d. 17 Dec. 1794 (probably Loudoun Co. Virginia) m. 26 Mar 1790 to Jane King b. abt. 1768 d. 10 Dec. 1843 White Co. IL. Children were John Knox Wilson and Judge William Wilson, IL Sup. Ct. Justice. Born Loudoun Co. Va. Judge Wilson did his apprenticeship under the Hon. John Cook who ranked high as a lawyer at the bar of Virginia and who served his country with honor and distinction abroad as Minister to the Court of France. In 1812 Mr. Wilson was a commanding officer under General Jackson at New Orleans Jane Kings parents were Mary Kearney and Phillip King. Mary had brother James Kearney. They were related to Gen. Phillip Kearney. The earliest document found for him is dated 20 Jun. 1795, Martinsburg, W.Va. Court Records [Berkeley County]: "A[dministration?] of the estate of William WILSON Jr. [sic] dec'd granted to Jane WILSON his widow and James KERNEY, they having complied with the law. (James KERNEY was a br[other] of m[other] of Jane KING WILSON. Her f[ather] Philip KING mar. Aug. 19, 1766 Mary KERNEY.) [Chinn Book, p. 251] John Wilson b. abt. 1772 m. Elizabeth Travers Chinn they lived in Loudoun Co. Va. their children went to Union Co. KY and White Co. IL. This is my family that I'm trying to connect to the rest of the Wilsons herein. Jacob Wilson b. 16 Jun 1774 Chester Co. PA d. 18 Apr. 1843 White Co. IL m. 7 Feb 1801 Martinsburg Va/WV to Margaret King (sister of above Jane King) b. 27 May 1771 Union Co.

Jacob's father fought in the REv'n war and was wounded at Paoli and captured. There should be a brother of Jacob named Silas that fought at Brandywine he may have died as there is no Silas mentioned in a letter I have that does mention all three of these boys and their wives. In 1811 Jacob and Margaret were living in Prince Wn Co. Va near Bull Run as that is where son John M. Wilson was born. (his son) In 1824 they moved from PWC to Jefferson Co. va. (W.Va.) and in October 1828 they moved to Illinois reaching White Co. in December of the same year, where they passed the winter at the home of a cousin Justice William Wilson who married Mary Davidson.

Good Afternoon, I am new to this list, and I am hoping for some assistance finding some information on an Ancestor. Nicholas PHILLIPS born 1775 in Loudoun, Virginia I am looking for information on his parents. His Father was also Nicholas PHILLIPS and he died about 3 Apr 1786 in Loudoun, Virginia I would very much like to know when he was born. I would also like to know Nicholas' (born 1775) mother, which would be the other Nicholas wife. I have no name at all. Any information would be great and I would be most appreciative.
