Hi, With all of these names, then you must have trampled all over my family in your quest. My third great grandparents were Robert Chesley DANIEL ( Abt 1765-aft 1830) and Penelope LANE of Wayne County, NC, later of Burke County, GA. Robert and his descendants are descendants of Capt. James DANIEL and Jane HICKS of Albemarle County, VA - DNA proven. John R. Clarke 229-228-1961 2417 N.

Hi, am pretty sure this may be the same ROSE family that follows the HAWKINS, POTTERS an DANIELS down to Granville and Halifax County, NC. My GGM was a POTTER whose son married a DANIEL, out of that rather well-known bunch out of Middlesex County, VA. My 3rd GGM was a Penelope LANE ( 1773-1846), d/o Capt Isham LANE ( 1731-1801) of Dobbs, later Greene and Wayne County, NC.> I am pretty sure the Hon. Robert POTTER< Esq. ( 1799-1842) of Halifax County, NC and later of Potter's Point, Marion County, Texas is probably related to my POTTERS. John R. Clarke 229-228-1961 2417 N.

I would like to exchange info with anyone researching Lanes in the Orange County area. I will be moving to Fredericksburg this summer and would appreciate any info I can receive about Genealogy/Historical groups in that area. I am interested in Lanes who supposedly lived in Orange County about 1800. I have recently found a direct male descendent from my brick wall who is Moses Lane b. 1827 Ky/Tn, moved to IL and lived in Hamilton County IL until he died in 1890. A Spencer Lane lived in the area and was born in Orange County VA in 1799/1807. I think they are related but I do not know exactly how. The descendent referred to above has sent DNA testing in and I am really interested to see if it will steer me toward a particular branch of the Lane/Layne/Lain families.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0AC.2ACE/935 Message Board Post: I am trying to determine if there is a connection between WILLIAM J. COOPER, Confederate veteran, b. ca. 1833, VA./ d. 1909, Frostburg, MD, and the Cooper family of Orange County, VA. I would appreciate some advice on this subject: JANE M. COOPER appears to have died in Orange County between the time of the 1870 and 1880 federal censuses. In 1870 Jane was enumerated with real property valued at $2,000. I am not very familiar with Virginia law of this time period, but since Jane was the widow of OWEN COOPER (who appears to have died between 1850 and 1860) this real property was probably either devised on her by Owen, or was her dower. Would there be a probate record of the distribution of this real property to her heirs? If the property was indivisible would there have been a Chancery case to order the sale of the real estate? If these records exist, who would have custody of them, and where would I write to see about them. I see that the Library of Virginia has microfilms of probate proceedings, but cannot find where the originals are. Any advice or guidance for this search would be greatly appreciated.

Thank Tou Cathy

I see you have a Harris you are looking for. Do you have a female Holladay that married a Harris around 1900's. May have been a Mary Augusta Holladay? Cathy

Cathy, only one Harris/Holliday marriage: Elijah Harris m Jemima Holliday 1809 Clark Co., KY. Elijah b 1782 s/o Lindsay Harris of Orange Co., VA. Elijah & Jemima had a dau. Lucy Franklin Harris b 1810 Clark Co. Ky m Benjamin R. Waller--Benj's family was from Spots. Co. My thinking is Jemima Holliday was from a Spotsylvania Co. family but I haven't worked on the proofs. Jemima must have died as Elijah Harris m 2) Eleanor Palmer 1812 Clark Co., KY. On Tue, 7 Mar 2006 18:55:34 EST CatheriHon@aol.com writes: > I see you have a Harris you are looking for.

My Thomas Harris was in Louisa Co. prior to moving to Orange Co. in 1768. There are several Harris/Bourn court orders in Louisa Co. in 1767/68. My Thomas Harris appears in the 1782 Orange Co. census along with his son, Lindsay Harris in Wm Moore's precinct. I also notice there are some Bourn's in that 1782 Orange census. Is it possible that these Orange Co. Bourn's were previously in Louisa Co.? http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/orange/miscellaneous/1782oran.txt Louisa Co.

Pat - yes, I did get your info.--I think you emailed me directly. There's been discussions on Harris Mailing List on Overton Harris & we pretty much have him documented from his parents to his birth of 1762 Hanover Co. to his 1834 death in Todd Co., KY. And, it looks as tho he might be of the Wm/Temperance Harris line. What I don't have is all of Overton's children--only two I'm aware of is Lewis & Elizabeth m Groom. I'm told his heirs are mentioned in a deed book of Todd Co., Ky following Overton's 1834 death. Overton is not my line (at least not to my knowledge) but the interest in him stems from his dau's marriage in Orange Co. where my Harris line was. Overton went from being born in Hanover Co. in 1762 s/o Benjamin/Mary Harris, to living in Louisa Co. m his cousin Jemima Harris, then migrating in 1819 to Todd Co., Ky. His father d 1765, his mother then m Elias Thomasson 1774 Louisa Co. who then became guardian of Overton & his siblings, Robert, Benjamin, Nancy. Louisa Co. Marriages, 15 October 1789 Overton Harris and Jemima Harris, daughter of Frederick Harris. Sur. Robert Harris, Jr. and Ann O. Harris p. 46 What seems strange is the fact Overton had moved to Ky in 1819 & yet his dau. m 1823 Orange Co. Va. Thank you for taking the time to verify your response to me on this issue.

Carol - Did I answer your question on genforum about the Grooms and ATkins family? I don't have a record, but I have answered several recently. I haven't signed up for genforum so can't post there. Solomon did marry Eliz. Harris, she was the daughter of Overton and Jemima Harris. He later married Eliz Chiles - a few years, possibly she died in childbirth as the second Eliz and Solomon moved to Missouri. Elizabeth (Chiles) and Solomon listed a dau. Emily Ann who married an Armistad, a son Grandville OOverton Grooms, and son, Thomas Jefferson Groom, Franklin Co., Missouri Wills and Admin. 1819-1854. I have not chased this down as he is the brother of my ancestor and I have not gotten much into collateral lines. I was glad to know what happened to him. My Grandmother, the grandaughter of Elizabeth Groom and Achilles Atkins, left a note saying that Elizabeth Groom Atkins who lived in Ross Co. Ohio after 1820, had a brother Solomon and was born in Virginia. Ann Burras and John Atkings Jr had at least two children - Sussana who married Henry Bell, moved to Ky, then Elizabeth Atkins who I believe married Henry Madison Groom (of Wm and Dorothy). Henry and Eliz had land in Augusta, sold it and he disappearts. I think he died and she went back home with her two children - Elizabeth Groom who married Achilles Atkins and went to Ross Co., Ohio and your Solomon who married two Eliz's. If I already sent you this - sorry. Don't have a copy. Pat Snyder

Hi, Ernie. I am also interested in the Boston family. My Hawkins line intermarried with them. Reuben Boston married Sarah Hawkins, daughter of Benjamin Hawkins and Ann Bourne. Other researchers have told me that the Hawkins, Boston, and Bell families were intermarried and lived near Bell's Mountain in the time period that you are talking about. My Thomas R. Hawkins is in the records as a bondsman for a Boston marriage....I am away from my files and piles and can't tell you whose marriage.....Please keep this discussion on the mail list.

That is because this family moved to Missouri with William Downing Smith and Diana Yager. William Downing Smith is the grandson of Isaac Smith and Margaret Rucker. Have genealogy on William Downing Smith because his son Wilson Rucker Smith married my third great grandmother before she married my third great grandfather. Cathy
