Winnie was a widow for 79 years after her husband, Clifford Noel Peeler b 21 Oct 1894 d 24 Oct 1918, died. The children probably don't know much about their father as they must have been young when he died. Winnie P Peeler, 102, died Saturday Morning, March 1, 1997, in Roman Eagle Memorial Home where she had lived for five years. Born Oct 21,1894, in Moneta, she was the daughter of John P Lynch and Mary Wintworth Lynch. She spent most of her life in Danville, where she worked at Dan Rivers Mills. She was a charter member of Sledd Memorial United Methodist Church, which is now known as St. Luke's United Methodist Church, and where she was honored with a plaque for her years of faithful dedication. She served as treasure of the Ladie's Bible Class for many years. She was preceded in death by two sons, Major Clifford N Peeler and John C Peeler.Survivors include a daughter, Victoria P Townsend of Danville, four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren. She was the last member of her generation. Would appreciate any information on her descendants, children or grandchildren. Clifford was born in Commerce, GA and most of his family is still there. He is buried in Gray Hill Cemetery, with his father, mother, sister-in-law, and several neices and nephews, Commerce GA .She was missing from our family long enough and even though she is no longer with us, I would like her children to know what a beautiful lady she was, as I have photos of her when they were young. Thank you very much.

Hi Everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that we finally got the whole 1850 Census for Pittsylvania County completed and it is now online for all of you to research. Here's the URL for it: ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/va/pittsylvania/1850 It has been fun and I enjoyed working with everyone on my "Team"! If any of you are thinking about transcribing a census, this is definitely the way to go. Enjoy!!! Sandy

On my original query, I inadvertently listed the wife of Hailey Ramsey as Edith Ziegler; the correct name is Esther Ziegler. John Z's daughter by his first marriage is corrected to Esther Elizabeth Ramsey; named for both of her grandmothers. I apologize for any confusion, I created. A special thanks for all of you that transcribed the 1850 census. It has been a great tool for me and I am sure many other researchers. JoAnna Ramsey (jafr57@aol.com)

does anyone know lawrence mcfalls email address? you may send it to me privately if you think he wouldnt mind. dwayne

It could be that part of the answer to your Thurman/Barber question is in the 1850 census of Pittsylvania County which is available online now. There are a couple of families of Thurmans on page 189, and right next door is a Robert Barber and his wife Rachel and three children, and next door to him, on page 189b, is Mathew Barber and his wife Susan and six children. Hope this is the right family. Virginia Baxter

Does anyone know where my 2x great grandfather Jesse Wall would have been buried? It stands to reason that in the summer they would have buried him quickly, and not far away from Danville, VA. I am searching for a possible grave marker for him if it exists. If it does not exist - does anyone have any suggestions? I have been to Pittsylvania County once before, but the historical society was closed on Sunday, so I didn't stay to investigate this question.

Posted on: Pittsylvania Co. Va Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Pittsylvania?read=163 Surname: SHELTON, CHILTON, BARKSDALE, HEWLITT, MARSHALL, COUSINS, CRUMP, SEYMOUR, GARDNER, ARMISTEAD, MUSTAIN, HODGES, ESTES, PARISH, YOUNG, WILLIAMS, MOSS, MAXEY, BURCH, MADDIN ------------------------- SHELTON/CHILTON. Thomas Shelton, Jr. (26 May 1763, Va. - 20 August, 1857 Brandon, Miss.) is believed to have married (1st) Sarah BARKSDALE, then (2nd) possibly [Sarah or Susan] HEWLITT or HULLETT as claimed in a DAR application, though this seems unlikely, then (3) Phebe Ann Hatcher MARSHALL, widow of Peter COUSINS, in 1809 in Halifax Co., Va., then (4) Sarah CRUMP in 1834 in Franklin Co., Va.. He raised and married off most of his children in Pittsylvania Co., Va., before following a son-in-law to Rankin Co. Miss, where he died a widower at age 94, naming twelve children in his will. The family monument to Thomas Shelton, Jr. at Brandon, Mississippi has on one of its sides a listing for a man believed to be his father: "THOMAS SHELTON 1742 - 1846 AMERICAN REVOLUTION 1777 - 1781 1ST LT. VIRGINIA," possibly the Thomas Shelton who rose to that rank in the Louisa Co., Va. militia, and fought in the Battle of Camden under Capt. John BYERS. Family lore says the elder Thomas Shelton married a CLOPTON girl, and tending to corroborate this, "Clopton" has so far been found as a given name in two descendants of Thomas Shelton, Jr. Lore in the Kentucky branch says this elder Thomas was a merchant who owned stores in Tennessee. However, we have not located records proving this. Family lore in the Texas branch, corroborated by early Pittsylvania Co. records with this spelling, says that the surname was originally spelled "Chilton." Children named in the 1852 will of the Thomas Shelton who died at Brandon, Mississippi in 1857 were: (1) Frances Shelton (ca. 1787, Va. - aft. 1850, Ky.?), who married Parham "Parm" SEYMOR/SEAMORE in 1805 in Pittsylvania Co., Va., and settled in Hart Co., Ky.; (2) Martha "Patsy" Shelton (4 March, 1788, Virginia - 25 December, 1866, Hart Co., Ky.), who married Edmund GARDNER in 1807, in Pittsylvania Co., and settled in Hart Co., Ky.; (3) Nancy Shelton (? - ?), who married Joseph CHANEY in Pittsylvania Co. in 1809, and is believed to have settled in Haywood Co., Tenn; (4) William H. Shelton (9 March, 1792, Pittsylvania Co., Va. - 30 March, 1843, Rankin Co., Miss.), who married (1st) probably Anna HALL in 1816 in Pittsylvania Co., then (2nd) Elizabeth A. ARMISTEAD in 1829 in Pittsylvania Co., and removed to Rankin Co., Mississippi in 1832 per the family monument at Brandon, that was erected by his widow and names him on a third side; (5) Sarah "Sallie" Shelton (8 June, 1798, Pittsylvania Co., Va.- 28 January, 1867, Barren Co., Ky.), who married James W. MUSTAIN in 1814 in Caswell Co., N.C., and settled in Barren Co., Ky.; (6) Lucinda "Lucy" Shelton (ca. 1800, Pittsylvania Co., Va. - 1885, Hart County, Kentucky), who married James Henry HODGES in 1816 in Pittsylvania Co., and settled in Hart Co., Ky., (7) Theopholis Quincy Shelton (9 June, 1803, Pittsylvania Co. Va. - May, 1888, Hart Co., Ky.), who married (1st.) Elizabeth P. DUNN in 1827 in Pittsylvania Co., then (2nd) Mrs. Sarah A. BOHANNON in 1874 in Hart Co., Ky., and was found in Simpson Co., Ky. in 1830, Hart Co., Ky in 1840, Washington Co., Ind. in 1850, and in Hart Co. in 1860 and 1880.; (8) Susan Hewlitt. Shelton (9 June, 1804, Pittsylvania Co., Va. - 6 February, 1884, Clarke Co., Miss.), who married Dr. William ESTES in 1820 in Pittsylvania Co., Va., and settled in Mississippi, where the family is found at various dates in the censuses of Rankin, Simpson and Clarke Counties; (9) Phoebe M. Shelton (ca. 1813, Pittsylvania Co., Va. - aft. 1870), who married James A. PARISH in 1832 in Pittsylvania Co., Va., and eventually settled in Texas, where they are found in the 1860 Nacogdoshes Co. census and the 1870 Wood Co. census; (10) Tarmissa Shelton (12 April, 1812 - 29 October, 1887, Franklin Co., Va.), who married William D. YOUNG in 1833 in Pittsylvania Co., and settled in Franklin Co., Va.; (11) Henry Featherstone Shelton (ca.1819, Pittsylvania Co., Va. - 2 June, 1875, Rankin Co., Miss.), who married (1st) Mary D. WILLIAMS in 1839 in Rankin Co., Miss., then (2nd) Laura A. P. MOSS in 1839 in Rankin Co., Miss., then (3rd) Martha Wilmouth Williams in 1847 in Rankin Co., Miss., and remained in Rankin Co., Miss.; and (12) Harriet Virginia Shelton (5 February, 1821, Pittsylvania Co., Va.. - 6 February, 1872, Rankin Co., Miss), who married Robert MAXEY in 1838 in Rankin Co., Miss., and remained there. Family lore in the Texas branch says that the Thomas Shelton who died in 1857. had 13 children of his own (the Kentucky lore says he had 15), and raised 23 children. Not named in the will of Thomas Shelton, Jr., but possibly also his: (13) Mary M[arshall?] Shelton (ca. 1815, Pittsylvania Co., Va. - bef. 1840?), who married Milton D. YOUNG in 1832 in Pittsylvania Co., and in 1834 had a son named James M. Young who was named in the will of Thomas Shelton, Jr. (14) Jane Shelton (est. 1790 - ?; and we only speculate that she was a daughter), who married Larkin MADDIN in 1806 in Pittsylvania Co., Va., and settled in Hardin Co., Ky. (15) Possibly (this is not proven, and the 1830 Pittsyvania Co. census lists four different Thomas Sheltons) Thomas M. Shelton (c 1784, Halifax Co., Va. - 1849 Hart Co., Ky.), who married Sarah Mary BURCH in 1805 in Pittsylvania Co., Va. and settled in Hart Co., Ky. Thomas Shelton, Jr. wrote his will on April 27, 1852, and it was proved at the September Court in 1857 (Rankin County, Mississippi Records of Petitions, Book C, pp. 148-9; Probate Court Book C, p. 208). The will was witnessed by W. C. HARPER, Thos. WILLIAMSON, and Hezekiah OVERBY, but was admitted to probate on the testimony of W. C. Harper alone, the court finding that Thomas Williamson and Hezekiah Overby were abroad and non-residents of the state. Son, Henry F. Shelton, and son-in-law, Robert Maxey, were appointed executors after posting a $5,000 bond, with W. C. Harper as their surety. Joseph HUDNOLL, John S. HEBRON (sp?) and D. W. WILKINSON were appointed to appraise the estate. The following is a transcription of the will, from a photocopy: Last Will and Testament In the name of God Amen. I Thomas Shelton of Rankin county in the State of Mississippi being now of sound mind and disposing memory and mindful of the uncertainty of life do hereby as to all of my worldly estate, goods, effects and property make ordain and publish the following as my last will and testament, hereby revoking all others by me heretofore made. First I wish all my just debts paid. Secondly, I give and bequeath to my children Frances Seymour, Martha Gardner, Nancy Chany, Sarah Mustine, Lucy Hodges, and Theopholis Q.

Thomas Shelton [seal] Thomas died in the home of his youngest daughter, Harriet Virginia Maxey. A letter from her daughter, Bettie Maxey, probably written to her cousin, Phebe Cousins, describes the death. It was found in a desk at Calland, Virginia that had belonged to Phebe's father, Willis G. Cousins, who was a son of Thomas Shelton, Jr.'s second or third wife, Phebe Marshall, by her first husband. It is written in beautiful script, and demonstrates that Bettie received a superior education for the time (spelling and punctuation as seen in the original). Brandon, Mississippi August 21st/57 Fri. Dear Cousin I have very sad news to relate. our dear grand Pa died night before last about 9 o'clock. he was sick nine days. had the Flux or disease of the Bowels. suffered a great deal. he was perfectly rational to the last. he did not speak for two days before he died but noticed everything around and when we spoke to him. he died very easy. he told us Saturday before his death that he was willing to die. it was really gratifying to all of us. we had no idea he ever thought of dying or hereafter. He is gone, but I trust in Heaven. I received Cousin Royall's letter Sunday and told him about it. he asked if you were all well. Aunt Sue Estes was here during his illness. Ma could not be with him. she was confined last Monday. has a very sweet little girl. has not named her yet. we missed Pa so much. he always was with Grand Pa when he was sick and this time he is in New York. The citizens showed grand Pa a great deal of respect. all assisted us in sitting up at night. I staid with him all the time. he was the strongest person I ever tried to lift. he got up in the bed the morning before he died without any assistance. Cousin you must excuse this letter. I have to write to so many to let them hear. I will send you a paper with his obituary notice in it tomorrow. write soon. all the family join me in love to you all. tell Cousin Royall I will write soon. Farewell Your affec Cou Bettie Maxey We seek bible, court and other records of Thomas Shelton, Jr., his ancestors, spouses and descendants.

The info below may help those folks with McCubbin(s) queries. Elvin Perkins Jr. Greensboro, NC Generation No. 1 1. William1 McCubbin was born Abt. 1730. He married Elinor Conley.

Nicholas McCubbin, born January 8, 1760 in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia; died February 20, 1846 in Rockingham Co., NC. + 4 iii. (possibly) John McCubbin, born in (probably) Maryland; died April 1809 in Rockingham Co., NC. Generation No. 2 2. James2 McCubbin (William1) was born April 14, 1755 in Baltimore Co., Maryland, and died March 16, 1824 in Green Co., Kentucky. He married Mary Cook December 29, 1784 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She was born Abt. 1769, and died Aft. 1850 in Green Co., Kentucky. "James McCubbin was born 14 April 1755 in Baltimore Co., Maryland and died 16 March1824 in Green Co., Kentucky. He married 29 December 1784 in that part of Guilford Co., N.C. which became Rockingham Co. the next year, to Mary Cook, born 1769. Mary Cook McCubbin applied for a widow's pension on the service of her husband but was refused because she could present no proof of their marriage other than that of their family Bible. Mary McCubbin married on 17 January 1825, John Dicken of Green Co., Ky. and became his widow 13 June 1841. As Mary Dicken of Green Co., Ky., she applied for a pension 10 March 1853 on the Revolutionary War record of John Dicken. Her application gave the war service of both husbands. She stated that James McCubbin served in the war as a private for the term of six months and was honorably discharged. She recalled James McCubbin telling of being in the Battle of Stono and thinks the officers were Wade Hampton, John Hampton and Edward Hampton; Edward Hampton having been the captain of the company in which her husband served. James McCubbin's service may be found in Revolutionary War Pension Claim 1836 and verified in DAR National No. 250045. James McCubbin appears to have been the son of William McCubbin and his wife Elinor Conley of Maryland who moved to Halifax Co., later Pittsylvannia Co., Virginia. James and Mary Cook McCubbin moved to Green County, Kentucky in 1805 or 1806. His will was presented for probate April 19, 1824 in Green County. It may be found in Green County Court Records, Will Book 2, page 104." [Source: Early Families of the N.C.

Nicholas2 McCubbin (William1) was born January 8, 1760 in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, and died February 20, 1846 in Rockingham Co., North Carolina. He married Nancy Jones December 22, 1798 in Halifax Co., Virginia. She died November 29, 1852. Nicholas McCubbin, born Jan. 8, 1760, Pittsylvania Co., VA; died Feb. 20, 1846, Rockingham Co., NC; married Nancy Jones on Dec. 22, 1798 in Halifax Co., VA. Rev. Elias Dodson performed the marriage. Nancy died Nov. 29, 1852. Nicholas McCubbin applied for a pension as a NC militiaman in the Revolutionary War on Aug. 29, 1832. In his Declaration, he stated that he volunteered for service as a militiaman in Guilford Co., NC at Guilford Courthouse in the spring of 1779 for a term of nine months in the company of Capt. John Davis and Lieut. George Pearce. He was encamped at Pom Pom Roads near Charleston, SC and later fought in the Battle of Stono on Sunday, the 20th of June. He stated that Gen. Lincoln commanded that day, but Gen Butler was commander of the NC troops. In 1780, he was drafted for a period of three months in the company of Capt. George Pearce and in the regiment of Col. Paisley. In the winter of 1780-81, he volunteered for six months in regiment of Col. Culp in company of Capt. Bevell and was stationed in SC about six miles below Cheraw Hill. In August 1781, he was drafted for three months in the company of Capt. William Bethel in the regiment of Col. Smith. Nicholas McCubbin stated that during the Revolutionary War he was living in what is now Rockingham Co., NC. At that time it was Guilford Co., NC about half a mile from Perkins Ferry on the south side of the Dan River. He had lived in Rockingham County ever since except for about three years that he lived in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia about three miles from the NC state line. "John Whitworth maketh oath that he is acquainted with Nicholas McCubbin... that he knows he was in the service during the revolution, that he marched with him from Guilford Courthouse to Sumner's Ferry on Savannah River..." Alexander Lemons and Edward Godsey cosigned an oath as to McCubbin's character, as did Robert Galloway, Clerk of Court. Jesse Rankin, a clergyman, and James Kyle made oath as to character of McCubbin to Dubastis Dempsey, JP. Nicholas McCubbin was entered on the pension rolls of North Carolina for $70 per annum. On Feb. 27, 1854, John McCubbin, age 54, made application for benefits his mother could have received as a pension under a Congress Act passed on July 29, 1848, granting pensions to widows of persons who served during the Revolutionary War. He stated that he was the only child of Nancy McCubbin. John Shreve, aged about 65, and Abner Joyce, age about 57 signed the document attesting to facts given by John McCubbin. (Pension file # 4-4574) The 1790 Census of Rockingham Co., NC shows that Nicholas McCubbin had six male children under the age of 16, three females and four slaves living in his household other than himself. It is therefore possible that Nicholas McCubbin may have had a previous wife and children. [Source: Early Families of the N.C.
