    1. [VALOUDOU] My Brick Wall: Stray BRADENs
    2. Julie
    3. Sorry - I'm not going to be of much help - but I can rule out some things. I've rented the Minister's Returns (LDS films 2167844 & 2167845) for Shenandoah County, VA - and I scanned the early ones whether they pertained to me or not. and I didn't find an BRADENs there. There IS one more film in this set (1772-1877 all mixed up) though. the only other reference I have is this book "Records of Indentured Servants and of Certificates for Land Northumberland County , VA 1650-1795" by Preston Haynie which DOES have an Richard BRADEN, but its in 1730, and not on your list of people. Here it is, just in case you don't have it. p267 - 1628. 17 Feb 1730/31 - Richard BRADEN, Servant of James FARNED, haveing Run away from his said Master five months & 8 Days and his master being at the expence of man and horse Six Days in Retakeing him at 30 pounds of Tobo p Day, ordered that the said BRADEN Repay his said Master by Service according to Law afer his Indented time is expired with Costs.

    1. [VALOUDOU] My Brickwall: Mary Taylor Walker- ca. 1785 -?
    2. First, I want to say "Hello" to my cousins, genealogy friends, and all other list members. This is my return to this list after about a 10 year absence. (Geez, time flies) My brickwall is Mary Taylor who married Joseph Walker, son Benjamin and Sophia Van Horn Walker, on 28 Apr 1803, in Loudoun County by Rev. Littlejohn. Seeking the parents of Mary and her children. Only know child was her daughter Catherine Ann. Catherine married Jesse James Tavenner and died in Van Wert Co., Ohio. Other children may be Elizabeth who married Roswell O'Dell, Alfred and at least one other son, possibly named Daniel. No idea when or where Mary died. Joseph left Loudoun County and moved to Licking Co., Ohio sometime after 1830, then moved on to Hardin Co., Ohio and then Marion Co., Ohio by the 1840's. Probably living in Grand Prairie Twp., Marion Co. Ohio in 1850. No know information on him after that. Thanks!

    3. I am interested in the book from the author standpoint. I don't think I have anyone mentioned in it, but if there were they would be Hutchison, Gordon or Rowan. I have Hutchison in my line of research from Loudoun County. That would be Agnes Hutchison who married James Rowan. Agnes was the daughter of James and Jane (Humphries) Hutchison. How long ago was this book published? The author was a Hutchison by marriage. Who did she marry? Thanks Pat. You always come thru for me.

She still lives in Loudoun County but does not use a computer so she is not on the Internet. There are several Hutchisons so it would be best to be more specific in name or time period.

    3. Well one brick wall is Lavenia Riley born about 1890 (daughter of Elijah Riley ca 1838 and Elizabeth Conner ca 1840) who married Isaiah Young born 1850. Isaiah had several children by his first wife but I can't find any thing on them either. Lavenia and Isaiah Young had a daughter Drucilla who married twice the second husband was a Leonard. If any one has any info - even on the first family I would appreciate it.

Va Census with 5 children, and on the 1820 Fairfax Co. Census, Truro Parish, as Sabastine McPherson. A Sebastian McPherson appears in Loudoun on the 1830 and 1840 Census.

    3. No, I have not found any name other than Enoch Francis. Another researcher gave me that information and was so positive it was true that I added the William. Eventually I will remember his name, or get home the 1st of May where I can look it up. I do not believe there is any listing under anything other than Enoch, unless someone has a Family Bible that states differently. Now there is a second Enoch Francis, the son of Thomas, who is listed on the 1850 census as Wm Enoch Francis. He was born in 1832.

Hope I did not unwittingly contribute to that conclusion. To clarify, I believe the Johnstons probably were (Presbyterian) when they first immigrated, but if the Francis family was from Wales, it is more likely they were Baptists or who knows? Maybe Quakers. (Some of our family in Waterford, VA, were Quakers, but intermarried and were then "read out" of meeting. Many then became Methodists.) The Francis/Johnston family we are associated with were very involved in the Methodist Camp meetings of their day. I have a wonderful photo of many of this family at one of the "camp meetings," which also appeared in the Loudoun Museum several years ago. It seems they were a family of deep faith, from what I am reading on this list, and probably became involved in the era of the "Great Awakening" initiated by the Wesley brothers during our early American history. Thanks to all contributing to my knowledge of this fascinating family. Patti ************** Start the year off right.

    3. Did you by chance ever see "The Cymry of "76: or Welshmen & Their Descendants" wherein it states that Enoch Francis and Benjamin Francis, father and son, were also eminent preachers." (speaking about Baptist ministers who came to America.) And further speaking about "Ten ministers of this family connexion; about eight from Enoch Francis: there were Timothy Thomas, and his brothers Joshua and Zachariah; and of their descendants, ten or twelve more." Is this perhaps why you thought that Wales might be involved? Since then I have seen a World Connect file by Kim Browlee that says Thomas's father was Thomas Francis, emigrated from Wales (no source.) I just received an email from Pam Sarno and she says: "The Francis Tree book also lists Thomas and William Enoch's father as "Thomas Francis of Wales". But, there is nothing documenting this statement. The research we have done makes it seem more likely that their father was John Francis. This is from Pikeland Twp, Chester Co, PA tax records. Do you have any evidence about who their father was? The Rev War statements give the most clues I have found because their birth dates and place are specific. The tax rolls for Pikeland show Thomas, John Sr. and John Jr during 1765-1787. Enoch or William Enoch is never listed. But there are nearby names listed who match names referred to as neighbors in the Rev War statement, so I think this Thomas, John Sr. and John Jr are the right Francis family. If the Francis were true Scotch-Irish then they were Presbyterians. Or, they could have been Welch Baptists. The Thomas Francis family and descendents were Baptists at least by the 1830s. Thomas Francis wife, Mary Huey, was definitely from a Quaker family in Chester Co." Pam also had sent me her transcription of Thomas Francis' Rev War file. Do you have that? I'm sure she would be happy to allow me to send it to you if you dont. Woudl there be Quaker records in PA that might tell us more? Respectfully, Tosca ps I just got another email from Pam but will wait until tomorrow morning to send it to you. It refers to Quaker records and Leanna Gulick!

I hope she doesn't mind my putting it up.: Dear Betty, It was late last night when you and Tosca were writing, but I think a gremlin crept in. Do you really think Wm E. Francis, born before 1778, had a "brother" Thomas born in 1806? Perhaps a half-brother, with a much younger mother, but even that is stretching it a bit. Maybe the first son Thomas, b. 1803, died and the second man with the same name, born 1806, was another son. If this second Thomas really was born in Wales, he is more likely a cousin of some variety, don't you think? Food for thought, Ms. Marty Hiatt, CG Certified Genealogist and CG are proprietary service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists® used by the Board to identify its program of genealogical competency and evaluation and used under license to the Board’s associates. Actually, both dates are 'say' dates, based on 20 years before their marriages. If the birth date for Thomas is correct, he was only 39 at the time of his death. Their is lots of room there for Thomas to be much older than a dob of 1806 would indicate. I don't have any idea where William Enoch Francis was born. He could also have been born in Wales. I do not have this well documented. Some is from my Aunt Nell's (grandmother's sister) notes, and some is from a Francis descendent. I did goof. Woke up thinking about it this morning. I think I indicated that Ann and Rebecca, wife of John Dulin did not go west. That should have read Ann Dulin married to Enoch Francis, and John Dulin married to Rebecca Elgin. Thanks for the thought provoking message. I think I will put this on the Loudoun list with both messages included. Betty I think it is quite possible for Leanna to be Thomas' second wife. I do not know anything that would make that impossible. I also do not know anything to prove that. ;-) I think I missed two sons of Enoch when I was writing last night, Edward married Ann Wildman, and Lewis married Elmira Norton.
