Anna Rose WINSTEAD b 1871 daughter of Joseph A WINSTEAD & Sophronia A JONES married John W THRIFT 1895 in Northumberland County, VA. When he died, she married Joseph T HEADLEY 1910. Her brother was Colis Millard WINSTEAD. Looking for where she is buried and more about her. Also looking for the burial place of John W THRIFT d 1902 Richmond County, VA.

Sue, I haven' t finished getting all of my Purcell/Thrift connections together to send to you yet, but here is an answer to your question. I have Clayton King m. Lettie Ann Pursell, daughter of Benedict Stewart Pursell and Ida Blanch Stephens, all of Westmoreland County. I have Frank Dixon m. Essie Irene Pursell, daughter of Dandridge Pursell and Mahala Jane Lewis; children, Lidda,Nettie and Webster Dixon. Lidda m. Miles Hudson Nettie m. Wood Booth Webster m. Miss Gardner All of Northumberland County. As I stated before, I will send you what I find on anymore Purcell/Thrift connections at a later date. William Thomas Purcell, Jr.

William, Any relation to Essie PURCELL b 1881 buried at Henderson? I have her married to a DIXON who was related to one of my THRIFT. Also a Mary PURCELL married to a Clayton KING before 1920. Their son, Marshall B KING, married a THRIFT. Thanks, Sue

Mary, I am also trying to find more on James Pursell and Mary Pursell, who is found living near James. My GGrandfather was Thomas T. Pursell (Purcell), who lived with or next to William H. Pursell in Village, Northumberland County. They all were in the 1860 census for this county and were all born in Westmoreland County. I have surmised, but have no proof, that they were all brothers. William H. Purcell's father was William Pede Pursell, according to some records found in Heathesville Historic Society and according to the book Purcells of Virginia and Allied families. According to my calculations William Pede Pursell should be one generation prior to their births. There possibly was another William Pursell between William Pede and these brothers. James is also found in the 1880 census living in the Lottsburg District with another wife, Virginia. This is probably Virginia S. Bundick Pursell. I found both of their graves in the Henderson United Methodist Church graveyard in Hyacinth, Northumberland County. "James R. Purcell, Died Nov. 11, 1903, age 69" and "Virginia S., Wife of James R. Purcell, Died April 26, 1921,77 yrs." I have met and have obtained a lot of info on James and his descendants, and I have not found the relationship of the persons of whom you asked, but I am going to investigate and will get back to you. Best of luck in all of your endeavors, William Thomas Purcell, Jr.

James HEADLEY, son of Henry HEADLEY, was born Dec 25, 1751. Griffin HEADLEY, his son, was born Dec 29, 1777. Mary Ann Griffin HEADLEY, daughter of Griffin HEADLEY and his wife Martha HALL, was born April 24, 1819. Mary Ann Griffin HEADLEY married Unknown WEBB. They had a daughter, Martha Ann WEBB. Mary Ann Griffin HEADLEY WEBB married Samuel Beacham/Beauchamp THRIFT in 1844. To them were born 5 children: Sarah Mahittabell THRIFT Phillip Mayo THRIFT Henry Samuel THRIFT Mary Emma THRIFT John Addison THRIFT Looking for connections......

Does anyone have a connection to James R. Pursell in the 1860 Northumberland census, Lottsburg dist.? He was listed as 24yrs old, sailor, born in Westmoreland Co. Living with him was Genette Pursell, age 48, Elizabeth & Robert Crabb, Dan Purcell age 19, Mary Purcell age 11, Olivia Purcell age 14, Eln?a Purcell age 12, and John & George Bulger age 5. How are the Bulgers connected? Thanks, Mary

thank you Bob

Here's an interesting twist to my THRIFT research. John THRIFT born about 1751 in St. Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, VA and married Mary UNKNOWN about 1782 in Farnham Parish, Richmond County, VA. They had a son, John THRIFT born 1783. Could Mary's last name have been BEAUCHAMP? There is a story passed down in the family from Mabel THRIFT, daughter of Philip Mayo THRIFT, that insists that Samuel B THRIFT's middle name was BEAUCHAMP and that it was Acadian--that one of the ancestor THRIFT married an Acadian woman named BEAUCHAMP. We know that John THRIFT, Jr. married Sarah WHITE so it could have been the John THRIFT before him who married Mary UNKNOWN. The Acadian dispersion was in the 1750's so the timing is right. If this rings a bell with anyone or you have some idea as to where I should go with this information, please let me know. Thanks, Sue

Thanks to all the kind folks who have offered me information and encouragement along the way. I've updated my web page again. Check out the Tom & Sue Family File for an index of names and information. It will take a few moments for the file to load. The gray box will turn orange. Click in the orange area and press the F key to pull up the index. Double click on a name to see more information and the connecting tree. I've added many more THRIFT. Some folks were asking about DODSON, LUTTRELL, HEADLEY and there will be some of those too. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/h/i/Susan-Whittington-Maryland/ Sorry if you receive this email more than once as I don't want to leave anyone out!

William, Thanks for your vote of confidence in my work. Maybe you could list your THRIFT connections, please. I could always use a couple more! Thanks, Sue Susan, Not an answer to your question, but you will find that Andrew J. Rock is the enumerator for the 1870 census of Northumberland County. I have been following all of your correspondence for quite some time and wish to tell you that you are doing a wonderful job. My ancestors, the Purcell/Pursell family are connected at times to the Thrift family. William Thomas Purcell, Jr.

Sue, Have you done anything with the Dodson or Luttrell lines? I have a fair amount on Dodson, and have seen the Luttrell in some research. Any leads on the Hughes line would be appreciated.
