Surnames: DABBS, CLAYBROOK, THACKSTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/yBC.2ACI/81.86 Message Board Post: Kim, Your John Thaxton married Martha Dabbs of Charlotte Co., VA, daughter of William Dabbs, the Surveyor, and wife Sarah (possibly Sarah Claybrook). The marriage occurred some time between 1821 (when William's will was written) and 1827 (when the estate accounts were finally settled. Martha's sister Polly Lee Dabbs apparently married a Thackston as well. See below. At the time the will was written, Martha was married to a Hungerford. But by 1827, she had been married to a Morton (had a son named William L. Morton), and then remarried to John Thackston. Martha's siblings were: Abner Dabbs (also in Pr. Edward Co. by 1830!) Nancy Dabbs Lewis (husb. Corbin Lewis) Elizabeth Dabbs Johns (husb. John C. Johns) Polly Lee Thackston (husb Charles Thackston) I have not researched Polly Lee, but I suspect that Charles Thackston was related to your John. Lou
