This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Head Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0AC.2ACE/807.2.1.2 Message Board Post: Mr Burton, I note that you have a Head family line in Orange, Virginia. I am looking for information on Anthony Head. He was married to Mary (Garvin?). I believe he was born in Orange County. He then moved to Washington County and acquire 400 acres of land in 1773. Several of sons (William and Gavin) moved to Howard County, Missouri about 1810 - 1812. There is a Head Fort named after William Head in what is now Boone County. William Head inherited Anthony Head's land in 1781. His father may have been Anthony Head who was married to Sarah (?). Does any of this information match your Head family line?
Thanks, Jan. the information from the site you sent says that the North Fork of the North Anna is a variant name for the Pamunkey Creek. Not what I wanted to hear.....but it does make sense as the map in the back room of the Orange County Historical Society show the land of Joseph and John Hawkins to be located in just the right place for boundaries to be described using that watercourse as a boundary. I am a little disappointed that it shoots my theory....but I am always happy to get accurate information. Thanks so much for sharing with me the website that solved my puzzle. marsha in WV Jan Hensley wrote: >This is the MOST excellent USGS site and does include variant names: > >http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=115:1:16109474133249025626 > > > > > > >
I had used the USGS site about a year for my search, but with no success. Jan, I do agree that it is an excellent site. Thank you for suggesting it.

Jan beat me in sharing that website -- I have found fairly old names listed there. In this case, it identifies Martha's query but not Jane's. For the latter, searching for any name starting with "Long" in Botetourt Co. finds Long Run. A search of all streams (leaving the name blank) finds 115 entries for Botetourt Co., with Long Run as the only similar name to Long's Entry Creek. Searching the entire state for Long's Creek (leaving out "Entry" which results in no matches) finds 20 similar names in other counties.

Bob, I wonder if you might be able to answer a question that I've had for some time. This is not an Orange Co. question as much as it is a "geographic names" question. I have been looking for a creek in Botetourt Co., VA: Long's Entry Creek. It doesn't appear on contemporary maps nor have I been able to find it on antique maps. Does the U.S. Board of Geographic Names have a data base of defunct geographic names and a locator tool which allows for correct placement of historic names on contemporary maps? Thank you.

Marsha, as a former Chairman of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, I should tell you that many geographic features bearing such pejorative names as Negro Run have been renamed. As I have been long retired, I cannot speak with authority on that specific run ,but suggest you contact the Domestic Names Committee of the Board which is located in Reston, Virginia, regarding that. Also, I believe part of Lake Anna is also in Louisa County.

_mosesm@earthlink.net_ (mailto:mosesm@earthlink.net) writes: And if any one has easy access to this book, what is actually said about the Hawkins Tavern? There are no film notes for this book which means that it is not available through the LDS FHL system. I wish I had easy access to $100, because there are several copies available starting at that price, from various online used-book sellers -- try a search through _www.bookfinder.com_ (http://www.bookfinder.com)
Milly Farmer in her book bits and pieces of the Hawkins puzzle mentions the Diary of Robert Rose in her bibliography. And at the bottom of page 46, she says: There were several men named Nicholas Hawkins in early Virginia. One owned an Ordinary on the Orange County side of Mallory's Ford where a road crossed the North Anna River. The road cleared between the Orange Court House and the Green Springs area of Louisa Co, VA. The Hawkins Tavern was still recorded in 1860. This information from The Diary of Robert Rose. One of Thomas Hawkins's daughters said that she was born near Springfield which is located close to the Edwards family. This was the granddaughter of Nicholas Hawkins, Jr. The book does not seem to be available locally for me. Here is what the LDS FHL library says about it: > Diary of Robert Rose (1704-1751), an Anglican clergyman, who > immigrated from Scotland to Essex County, Virginia in 1724, married > twice, and moved to Albemarle County, Virginia. His "... chronicle of > day-by- day events in 1746-1751 is a reliable prime source of many > aspects of pioneering life in two of Virginia's early parishes of the > Church of England: St. Anne's Parish in Essex County where he served > in 1725- 1748, and St. Anne's Parish in Albemarle County where he was > the first minister in 1744-1751 ...", 7394ZWICB Now if this is true, it makes no sense to me that she found information about the fact that the Hawkins Tavern was still recorded in 1860 in his diary. I am interested in knowing how much information about early Orange County is indeed in this diary. And if any one has easy access to this book, what is actually said about the Hawkins Tavern? There are no film notes for this book which means that it is not available through the LDS FHL system. Marsha in WV
This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Thomas Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0AC.2ACE/930.2.1 Message Board Post: My husband's gr. gr. gr. grandfather was a David Thomas, who lived on the southwest mountains near Burnley/Stoney Point, actually in Albemarle County, but darn close to the Orange County line. A "cousin" I met through a rootsweb message board told me that her grandfather knew of a Thomas family cemetery in the area mentioned above. She describes it as being almost across from a radio tower. David's wife was Ann Rodes/Rhodes. Children mentioned in David's will (1819) were Kemp, Rodes, Carver, Samuel, William A., John, James, Eliza and Archelaus (my husband's gr. gr. grandfather). Can you tell me more about the Joseph Thomas you mention, and do you know if he is related to this Thomas family? Also, do you know who is buried in this cemetery? What road is it on, or off of? Family names that are related by marriage to this Thomas family are Watts, Baber, Robertson, Munday, Collings, Fitch, Robertson, Drumheller, Dowell.

I am researching the Stitcher/Stitzer line from which Dorothy descended. Dorothy married both a McDonald and a Melville. I am interested in locating her daughters. My notes say Betty Carol, but I don't know if that is a name for one daughter or the names of each of the girls. Aunt Hazel told me that one lived in the Charlottesville area and that the other moved somewhere near the Atlanta area. Aunt Hazel is now deceased and I cannot ask her. Can anyone help me locate the married names and addresses for these girls? Thanks Glynda Stitcher Fox

Hello All, I am trying to identify the maternal grandparents of William Floyd CAMPBELL, b. Caroline County, VA, 1876. His parents were Robert L. Campbellson of Cornelius Sale Campbell and Emily DULANEYand Fannie S. <Unk>. William Floyd Campbell married Bettie S. CARNEAL in 1900 in Caroline County. They had at least 3 children, all b. in Caroline County: Pearl M. (b. 1901), Thomas F. (b. 1903), and Esther E. (b. 1908). As best I can determine, Robert L. and Fannie S. were not married in Caroline County. (I have been through the Caroline marriage records at the Heritage Center in Fredericksburg.) Any help identifying the parents of Fannie S. Campbell will be greatly appreciated. Rand Costich Rockville, MD
