Ruby, I think that I did not respond to this when you sent it....and now that I get ready to respond I see why I probably didn't do it....my 3-gr-grandfather was Thomas R. Hawkins who was born circa 1797. His first wife was Martha Pinkard. He married a second time after her death to Martha P. Bibb on 18 Feb 1839 Martha's father is said to have been Benjamin Bibb. I am thinking that I found Benjamin's name on the marriage record....but the below would say that he had already died when they were married. I am thinking that I need to do a bit more research on this...but ...well I don't have the same death date for Martha...I have 1878. So I don't know if this is the same family ...or what information is correct. I do know that the Poindexters were interconnected with my Hawkins family. marsha in WV RUBYGEM@aol.com wrote: >Below is what I have on that family.

Dear Donna, I hope you have some of the inexpensive booklets, abstracts of deeds, some guardian accounts, some vestry books, etc. compiled by Mrs. Rosalie Edith Davis of Manchester, MO some years ago. She is still selling these books. I looked in the index of one book of hers which is on my computer desk and find the names Estes [also Estis] and Timberlake are found in Louisa County, Virginia Deed Books E & F, 1774-1790. The names of residents of nearby counties also appear in Mrs. Davis's books: Albemarle Co., Hanover Co., Spotsylvania Co., etc. I think many times we are stymied in our research when we are *married* to one county. One historian-genealogist-author-lecturer of Salt Lake City area cautioned some of us in a lecture on Virginia: If you are researching in Virginia, research ALL the counties!!! At first, I thought the lady was balmy, but since most of my Dad's lines stem back to colonial Virginia residents, I find this is almost a MUST!!! Here is Mrs. Davis's webpage: _http://www.angelfire.com/va3/redavis/_ (http://www.angelfire.com/va3/redavis/) Good luck in your family research!

Another research buddy and I have been chatting about Elijah Hawkins this month. While we have chatted it has become apparent that there may have been more than just one Elijah Hawkins in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I am trying to sort them out a little bit and would appreciate any help that anyone has to aid me in this project. I have accumulated a bit of information about the Elijah who married Elizabeth Scott 8 Jan 1807. But there are also marriage records in Louisa County for and Elijah and Ann Hill 29 Jan 1787 and Elijah and Polly McCallister 1805. Now I guess that Elijah could have had three wives in that time period....in which case there is only one Elijah..... In may 2007 I was looking at personal property tax in Orange county, vA. there is a list of titheables in 1783 who are above the age of 16 and below the age of 21. Elijah Hawkins is on this list. This would fix his date of birth as between 1762 and 1767. It is not for certain that this is the Elijah who married Elizabeth Scott as I have no birth date for that Elijah. The Elijah who is in the 1783 tax list seems to be in the household of John Hawkins....not Nicholas Hawkins. Other researchers have connected the Elijah who married Elizabeth Scott with father Nicholas Hawkins with wife Elizabeth Jones. Another researcher has said that Nicholas married to Elizabeth Jones had father Benjamin and I had jotted down that Benjamin married to Ann Bourne had son named Benjamin married to Elizabeth Harmon.....but all of these things are silly rumblings....I really have no clue! Anyone have anything to add to my Elijah Hawkins notes? Marsha in WV

If you have a Family History near you, you can order a film that is from ca 1766 and several more years. It may have the marriage bond and permission of the parents for the marriage. The film number is 32190 Louisa County Marriages. You can check the FHL at http:familysearch.org. Click on Library Catalog, put in place: Louisa, first line, Virginia, second line. Go to vital statistics which is where you find marriage, deaths. You might want to check the deeds, wills, court records etc. You might find something very interesting about your family that give you an insight into their character.

Hi Iris, Besides the courthouse the Library of Virginia has old marriage bonds on microfilms. As you probably know there was no personal information on the old bonds. Unless there was also a consent paper with them from a parent if either of the couple was under age. LVA has them for Louisa County beginning in 1766. For the most part there was no personal information on marriage records like the marriage licenses/certificates in Virginia until 1853.

Ruby, always glad to hear from you. My Hawkins line was connected a little bit with the Cole and Bibb surnames. I find my Hawkins's in Orange county in the 1700's and in the 1800's until my Thomas R. Hawkins dies in 1885. But Thomas lives much of his life at Mallory's Ford which adjoins Louisa County. Mallory's Ford seems to have been an important ford across the North Anna on a road that ran from Orange Courthouse to a destination in Louisa county. Thomas R. Hawkins's son, Edward Pinkard Hawkins, raised his children on a farm in Louisa County. But the connection to the two surnames is the following: Bibb: after the death of Thomas R. Hawkins's first wife, Matilda Pinkard. He married for a second time, Martha P. Bibb 18 Feb 1839. The marriage took place in Louisa County. According to the marriage record, Martha's father was Benjamin Bibb. Cole: Thomas R. Hawkins had an uncle named Benjamin with whom he had many dealings. They were so close in their everyday dealings that I suspected them to be father and son until I found Benjamin's will. Benjamin Hawkins seemed to have been a neighbor of a man named William Cole as in his will he says: > 6th I give to Susanna (?) Marshall that portion of my land which I > laid off to sell to John Todd being bounded by the lands of Charles > Scott, William Cole deceased, and Coleman Marshall and the branch that > runs from the public road to Coleman Marshalls tan yard also this > other half of my household furniture to her and her heirs forever. Benjamin died in 1851....but I don't have the date of his will in my head...I'll have to look it up if you are interested in more information. However this William Cole would have lived in Orange County to have been a neighbor of Benjamin's....but again....in the part of Orange County that borders Louisa County and had an easy ford nearby. If you have more information on these people, I would love to hear from you....and I am happy to share what little I have on these people. marsha in WV RUBYGEM@aol.com wrote: > >In a message dated 7/11/2007 12:11:07 P.M.

I want to add to your Arnett discussion that there was a Burruss Arnett that lived in the early 1800's in Jessamine County Kentucky. Jessamine County Kentucky was once part of Fayette County Kentucky. Most likely the son of the James and Sarah Burruss Arnett.

Hello, I'm looking for information on Alice M. Simms who was born about 1891 in Louisa, VA, the daughter of Alexander and Hardina Simms. Census records show that she got married at age 16, which I believe was to John Vincent Elkins. Her first child, John Vincent Elkins Jr. was born in 1910, Philadelphia, PA and some point, she moves back to Louisa, VA and her daughter Elizabeth Elkins is born around 1913. During this time, her husband is living in a different residence as a "boarder" so I'm not sure what the relationship was. I can't find him after 1910 but then Alice ends up married to Herman Hamm sometime before 1930. She slightly disappears in 1920, as does her husband but her son John Elkins, Jr. is living with her parents and I don't know where her daughter Elizabeth was. I have information on John Elkins, Jr. and am looking to find his sister Elizabeth or other members of his family. If anyone has any information, I'd be glad to share what I know about John Elkins, Jr. Thank you! Chriss Lyon St. Joseph, MI

Dear List, I am searching for African American Chisholms, My Chisholms started in Louisa county, Virginia. My great great great grandmother was a slave by the name of Bridget. She was owned by David Chisholm Jr in 1804, David Chisholm Jr.moved his plantation into Chester, South Carolina. Her children were Edward and Hannah, and according to a deed in Florida Dudley and William Chisholm. After the death of David Chisholm, the slaves were passed on to his brother Thomas and then to his nephew Suprey Chisholm. In 1834 an estate sale listed Ned , /William and Dudley. By 1850 Ned was taken to Alachua County, Florida. It is believed that he was taken by Martha Ann Chisholm Lewis and her husband Edward Lewis to Florida. By 1867 my great great grandfather Ned Chisholm went back to Chester, South Carolina to bring his realatives to help with the planting of Sea Island cotton on his property. So what I am looking for is the descendants of Chisholms from Louisa County, Chester, South Carolina, Gainesville, Florida. If any Chisholm who have ties to this area please email me at this address. Thank you. Antoinette ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
