Reading a chancery suit from Louisa County, I found an interesting deposition about the papers of the Louisa Clerks office after the Civil War. They were discussing a person's will and inventory of his estate as missing. Jesse J. Porter gave this deposition 27 Feb. 1877: "Q. What office do you now hold? A. Clerk of Louisa County Court. Q. Have you been clerk of the Circuit Court of Louisa Co,. if so, when did your office terminate. A. I have been and it terminated July 1, 1875 but I am still deputy clerk of said court. A. State whether you have examined recently your office and the office of the circuit court for the original will of Col. W. O. Harris, dec'd. and the appraisement of his estate. A. I have. State the result of that examination? A. I cannot find the original will of Col. W. O. Harris or the appraisement of his estate either in the county or Circuit Court clerk's office. There has been a copy of the will of Col. W. O. Harris rendered since the war but there is no record of the appraisement. A. State whether any of the records of your office and of the circuit court clerk's office were destroyed or lost during or at the close of the war and if so how and when? A. A good many of the records were missing when I took charge of the office in September 1865 and I have always heard that the records were sent to Richmond for safe keeping and that a good many of them were lost or destroyed when the city was evacuated by the Confederate forces. When I took charge of the office as Deputy clerk in Sept. as aforesaid I found a great many of the records, papers etc. connected with the office in a large miscellaneous heap. A. What became of that heap of papers? A. There were assorted over and amongst by H. W. Murray, P. W. Conner and Joseph K. Pendleton, Commissioners appointed by the county court for that purpose." In reading the chancery causes as I flat file them, I have found a number of references to the "fact" Louisa's papers were sent to Richmond for safe keeping. Since we all know Hanover's papers were destroyed when sent to Richmond for safe keeping, I can't help but marvel that Louisa's papers still are so intact. It would be interesting to learn if they were in truth sent to Richmond and if they were, how did they escape destruction. Maybe someone procrastinated and they never were sent but stayed in Louisa. The court house in Louisa was not burned but might have been ransacked. Thought this was interesting history about these valuable papers.

The marriage records for Louisa county end at the beginning of the Civil War. Are there records of marriages during the War that are available? If so, where are they kept? I am trying to locate the marriage date of my 2G grandparents, Dr. P.P. Perkins and Henrietta Hackett and I believe they were married around 1862-1863 but have not found any documentation. Thanks for the help. Jan

Bev, The family removed to Pittsylvania County so, no estate papers were filed in Louisa. They seemed to have severed all ties there.

They had 8 children: ROBERT, who married JANE HANSFORD, TALIAFERRO, BATTAILE, who moved to GRYMES CO., TEXAS, JOHN STOCKDALE, who died unmarried, RICHARD, a twin, (MARY) SARAH, and WILLIAM TALIAFERRO, SR. who married BARBARA ANN DUKE, of LOUISA CO. (The latter two were my great grandparents. I believe that my great great grandmother, ELIZABETH HAY TALIAFERRO, was the daughter of JOHN TALIAFERRO and ANN STOCKDELL, because of the FIRST NAMES of their children. In the TALIAFERRO LINEAGE of SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, there was an ELIZABETH HAY TALIAFERRO who was the daughter of JOHN TALIAFERRO and ANN STOCKDELL. (There is a book with a lineage chart in the INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LIBRARY OF VERO BEACH FL. ) HE, JOHN, was the son of WILLIAM TALIAFERRO of SNOW CREEK, SPOTSYLVANIA, CO. According to this chart, the lineage of the TALIAFERROS ends here in SPOTSYLVANIA CO. and I cannot find any record of the marriage to prove if this really was my great-grandmother. --part1_b3d0398e.246262f2_boundary--

Trevillians Depot is on route 22/33 about 5-6 miles west of the Town of Louisa. The depot is on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. The largest cavalry battle of the Civil War was fought there. The depot is still there, just not used. The area is quite pretty with low rolling hills and farms. Louisa county is quite sparsely populated with the largest centers of population being Town of Louisa ca 1400 and Mineral ca 400. There is a large population spread out around Lake Anna which is a man made lake on the North Anna River between Spotsylvania, Orange and Louisa Counties. It is the home of our web master i.e. his address Trevillians! Janice

To Mark Lacy and all other county researchers: I haven't posted my lines yet, but the Profit query caught my eye because I just found some stray Bowens (daughter of a Bowen/Profit marriage in Hanover Co) mixed in with the subject named families descended from Wash es and posted my information to the Bowen list. So I'll go ahead and place it here as well. The Lacy request was on both Amelia Co and Louisa Co lists so I'm responded to both, especially since my lines meet up in Powhatan. I hope to meet other researchers of my lines. Janet (Baugh) Hunter -- Here is what I have Fellow Bowen Researchers: I ran across the above Bowens when reviewing some information regarding my WASH family of Hanover and Louisa Co, VA, and I thought they might be someone's stray Bowens. I do not believe these are mine, which were on the Eastern Shore of MD (Wms I, II and III>Whittington>James>Elizabeth Richards Bowen), but then I haven't followed the paths of the many Bowens over there very closely. I have some more information on descendants of the first couple listed. The source of the information is a published account in a book on various families, that I forgot to copy the title page for. FYI, the Sarah MackGehee in #2, is said by thoroughly accepted MacGregor legend (ie, her descendants can get into the MacGregor clan in Scotland I am told) to be a descendant of the MacGregor clan chieftain of "Children/Sons of the Mist" (the untameable, mountain tribe of Scotland) Patrick MacGregor who married Marian MacDonald, fought under Montrose in 1640 battles, etc... Here is what I have on the Bowen direct line and a little on mine, starting from the earliest Wash (and I know there are some errors here, but most of it appears to be documented). Hope this helps someone...Maybe I have some more cousins out there... 1. Thomas Wash, b. 1702 (place of birth unknown) d. after 1764. Has wife Sarah in deeds in Louisa Co VA, but no marriage record and it is unclear whether she is mother of children. No will found. 2. Thomas Wash Jr. d. March 1781, Louisa Co VA. His will exists. He married Mary LIPSCOMB, d/o Thomas Lipscomb and Sarah MACKGEHEE. Sarah is the daughter of Thomas MACKGEHEE and Ann BASTROP/BAYTOP. Relevant children. 3a. (Mine) Lipscomb WASH, b. 1777 (I think maybe earlier) md. Elizabeth SAUNDERS, June 9, 1794, Powhatan Co VA. He was bound out to a millright in Powhatan after the death of his father. Elizabeth, according to their marriage record, is the daughter of Rev. John Hyde Saunders. My descend comes through their daughter Caroline who married Archibald Bolling BAUGH, February 1827, Powhatan Co, VA. Although the marriage was in Powhatan, the couple lived in Amelia Co VA. Archibald lived in Prince George Co in 1820, and is a tremendous brickwall. My descent from them is g grandfather William Edward/EGGLESTON Baugh md. Letsy Catherine SHELTON in Lawrence Co MO. My VA names associated with my Sheltons are COLEMAN, ROBERTSON, SHEPHARD,BUFORD,WALLER,COOPER,CARR,WINSTON,CLARK,ANTHONY,JOHNSON,HART and more. 3b. (Bowen ancestor) Thomas WASH (Revolutionary War), b. ca 1760 (DAR records), d. June 6, 1811, Louisa Co VA. He married Susannah Smith FOX (1767-1845) on January 4, 1785, in Louisa Co VA. Susannah was the daughter of John Fox and Grace (YOUNG) Fox. Children's names are taken from a Fox family prayer book. These are descendants of Thomas Wash and Susannah Fox: 4. Edmund WASH, b. September 20, 1790, d. April, 1858 (a will in Hanover Co VA). He married Nancy SNELSON on September 14, 1812 in Louisa Co VA. 5. Richard WASH. d/ bef 1847-1850 TN, md. Lucy Ann BUNCH (children in 1850 Hanover Co Census...I think the children moved from Tennessee back to Hanover after Richard died). 6. Lucius Edwin WASH, b. 1839 Shelby Co TN. m. Virginia Jackson BOWEN, December 20, 1865, Hanover Co VA. Virginia was the daughter of Thomas and Louisa (PROFIT) BOWEN. I show no children for Lucius and Virginia. Richard Wash other children were: (1) Thomas N. b. ca 1842 TN, md (a) ??? (b) Molly E. HARGROVE, D/o Thomas and Mary, (c) Sally B. Hargrove, sister to Molly; (d) Mary Elizabeth JONES, d/o W.H. and Sarah J. Jones (all marriages in Hanover Co); (2) Martha A. b. ca. 1844; (3) Richard C. b. 1847 TN, married Mary E. WEST, d/o Henry L & Nancy C. West, 1`874 Hanover. Hope this helped someone. Janet Hunter
