Searching for information on James Oldham first found in Loudoun in 1767 Tithables, Wm.Douglass list. He is overseer for John Smarr. Probably related to the George Oldham who was overseer for Smarr in 1765. Also on the same list is Robert Stephens, probably related to Sampson Stephens and wife Lenore Adams. Sampson Stephen's daughter married James Oldham. Last Tithable entry for James Oldham is 1775. Have found a Fairfax lease for land in Shenandoah dated 1776 for this couple. The lease is signed by Sampson Stephens, but names James and Leah Oldham as the receptients of the leased land. James and Leah's son Stephen Oldham later married Rebecca Potts, daughter of Nathan Potts who died in Botetort Co, VA, also believed to be of Loudoun Co., VA. James and Leah move their family to Henry Co VA, then move on to Sevier Co., TN before 1795. Robert Stephens appears to live quite near Col or Capt Samuel Oldham on several of the Tithables lists, yet the current thinking is that Col or Capt Samuel Oldham had to children of his own. He did married the widow of Willoughby Newton, Miss Elizabeth Storke. Would love help with this puzzle.

More Loudoun families info ( BTW, it was close to 90 degrees in Ft. Lauderdale last weekend and not a cloud in sight :) ) I only have a few generations in Loudoun - it seems that the PA quakers Thomas (my 5GGfather) and his brother Simion Haines/Hains moved to the Leesburg/Goose Creek area in the late 1700s. I can find no records of Thomas's marriage to Mary, nor of the birth of any of his children Stacy (my 4GG-father), Mary, Sarah, Simeon, Thomas or Hephizah). I'm guessing they were born in PA, not VA. Thomas died in Loudoun in 1799. Stacy and his wife Mary had the following children: George Washington (b ~1805), Thomas J, Joseph, John W, Edward, Hannah, Manley R, Sarah, Cassie (Casandra) and Margaret. I can find no marriage record for Stacy and Mary and have no maiden name for her. My 3GGather was George W - he moved to Baltimore sometime after 1825 (when he was executor of his father's will) and died in Baltimore before 1850. By the way, I had a chance to visit Leesburg in March and spent an afternoon in the Balch Library and the courthouse. I enjoyed my visit and everyone was so helpful - thanks! If anyone has any Hains leads or info (especially leads on my two mystery Marys), please holler! Pam
