Am reading Superior Court of Chancery Records of the Winchester District. This can include Loudoun Co. families. This case, because my database includes a Tillett connection, caught my eye. Hopefully, it will help someone. Frederick County Superior Court of Chancery Reel 299 - Library of Virginia 1828 Tillett versus Tillett 9 May 1827 Seven negro children of a negro woman slave Fanny who were assigned to the defendant Elizabeth Tillett as dower of her deceased husband, Edward Tillett - which children are named: Nancy, Washington, Josiah, Sally, Lewis James and an infant children whose name is unknown. Elizabeth Tillett and James Tillett are named as defendants Plaintiffs are: Samuel Tillett, Charles Vermillion and Jane his wife, Ludwell Gulick and Elizabeth his wife; Alexander Beard and Susanna, his wife; Joseph Shorbe and Mary, his wife.

In this day, a journal is generally a personal book in which memories or daily events are recorded. In the 18th Century, I have read preserved journals which included records of the individual's neighbors and friends - events, deaths, illnesses, baptisms, etc. In the estate sale of Anthony Wright held in 1818, Joseph Wright received two old journals. Would someone knowledgable about "journals" in the 19th Century please inform me of the definition of a journal in that time period.

In the estate sale of Anthony Wright on May 21, 1818, Jane Hough purchases eight pewter plates and one bible.

Hi Mary, Can't help you with the rest, but I can help you with Taylorstown. Yes, there is a Taylorstown, and it is west of Lucketts, just off of US route 15. You can most easily find it by taking Stumptown Road west from 15 - for some reason, I think it is route 682, but am not sure. Taylorstown is located pretty well at the peak of the first ridge of the Blue Ridge mountains. Taylorstown had a store, which had been closed for some years, was reopened, and has recently closed again. I believe that there used to be a post office there as well, but am sure it has been gone for a while. That area is becoming popular with upscale horse farmers these days.

Hello I am trying to track down the parents of James Francis Gibson, my gr-gr-grandfather. He married Ann Olivia Sterrett (b: January 07, 1829, d: November 07, 1863), daughter of Samuel H. Sterrett (b: August 20, 1797, d: June 09, 1834 in Leesburg) and Lydia Kitzmiller (b: October 18, 1798, d: June 30, 1874 in Erie, PA). Their marriage is listed in Frederick Co, MD, but I know the Sterretts and Kitzmillers lived in Leesburg during the time James and Ann got married so I suspect James must be from the area. Ann's parents belonged to the Leesburg Presbyterian Church - anyone have any marriage records? They were married September 17, 1846. In 1850 James and Ann were living in Harpers Ferry. Any help in finding James's parents/family would be greatly appreciated. I believe he is some how related to a John A Gibson, but in what way I do not know because of a law suit I found where a John was suing James in Jefferson Co, WV. Thanks! Dave Butler Cedarburg, WI

I have a date of marriage (4/25/1751) for Farling and Rachel but no documentation. Their children; Isaac, Rachel, McFarling Jr., Nathan, John, Mary, Leah and Phebe. These children are in question as is much of Farling's ancestry. I can't find any reference to Martha. There are James in the family back a couple of generations but I can't find a connection to Farling.

I am looking for the parents of Martha BALL b. 18 December 1754 m. John BROWN (son of Henry and Esther (HARRIS) BROWN) 10 April 1776 in Loudoun Co., VA. John BROWN had a sister, Mary, who m.

I found the following biography posted on Putnam County, IN, website and thought someone in Loudoun County might be interested. Charlie Templer ____________________ Samuel Darnall Submitted by Carol Nolte. Atlas of Putnam County, Indiana. 1879 In any comprehensive history of Putnam county, the biographical memoir of Samuel Darnall, one of the best remembered of her pioneers, should not be omitted. He was born in Montgomery county, Kentucky, December 9, 1804, a descendant of a long line of sterling ancestry in America, the representative of this family in America being a member of Lord Baltimore's colony which settled in Charles county, Maryland, in 1634. Daniel Darnall, father of Samuel, was born in Maryland, in 1775, from which state he moved with his father, Isaac Darnall, when he was ten years of age, the Blue Grass state at that time covered with primeval woods. Daniel Darnall married Nancy Turpin, the daughter of another pioneer, also from Maryland. They established a home in Montgomery county, where, after the usual hard struggle, they became well established, rearing a family of five sons and one daughter, the latter named Emilia, late of Bainbridge. Samuel, of this review, was the fourth child in order of birth. When twenty-five years of age he married Maria, daughter of Joshua Yeates, her father being of English descent, his people settling in Eastern Virginia early in the eighteenth century; and in Loudoun county, that state, he was born in 1773, and emigrated to Kentucky with his father in 1790. He was there married to Nancy Higgins, and to this union seven daughters and one son were born, the latter being the later Dr. Larkin Yeates , of Winchester, Kentucky. The youngest of the daughters married Samuel Darnall. They lived in Kentucky five years after their marriage, and then in order to get cheaper land, moved to the then new state of Indiana. In the fall of 1835 they came to Putnam county, stopping at the home of Johnson Darnall, who had preceded them by two years. They established their rude home in the woods here and began life in true pioneer fashion, and in time were the operators of a large farm, Mr. Darnall becoming one of the leading farmers of the county. He was one of the first to introduce bluegrass into Putnam county.  Mr. Darnall and his wife followed in the footsteps of their ancestors in religious matter, being adherents to the Calvinistic or Predestinarian Baptist church. Politically Mr. Darnall was at first a Whig and an admirer of Henry Clay, but when the Republican party was organized he joined its ranks, and when on the death of his father, he inherited five slaves, he desired to free them at once, but was forbidden; he allowed them to choose their own master and finally sold them at a very low figure. He was no office seeker, but always outspoken in his political views. He was at one time, back in the forties, solicited by a special committee to make the race for the legislature as a Whig, but declined the honor. In Kentucky he served as lieutenant of militia, filling that position until his removal to Indiana. Under the military law of the state he was quartermaster on the staff of Col. James Fisk. He gave his influence to the national Union, sending three of his sons into the Federal ranks. The eldest, Francis M., made a splendid company in the fall of 1861 and led it to the field as captain. Lafayette enlisted the same year in Col. Lew Wallace's regiment of Zuoaves, for three-months service, and later joined his brother's company in the Forty-third Regiment and was made sergeant, later being promoted to lieutenant. In 1863, when Morgan, the raider, invaded Indiana, a third son, Joshua, a fine boy of sixteen years, went to the front and laid down his young life for his country, as a recruit in the One Hundred and Fifteenth Regiment, in which he took part in the hard campaign to Cumberland Gap. While retreating from that country he contracted a cold while passing through the mountains of Kentucky, which after a recent attack of measles, proved fatal.  Samuel's death occurred January 13, 1979, and in the shade of the old Brick Chapel he is sleeping the sleep of the just. He was a peaceable, home-loving, kind, public-spirited, noble-hearted man whom every one held in the highest esteem, for he was always ready to serve friend and stranger alike with a lavish hospitality, and had a word of cheer and encouragement for all.

I have Peter and Jacob as the sons of Rudolph or so the story goes. I have 7 sons and a daughter belonging to him. I have no proof Rudolph is the father though and I wonder why in this line I haven't found child named Rudolph. The church book St James; Loudoun County, Va ca Sept 17, 1789-August 23, 1823.
