I have been interested in this Allen family. I have a book published in 1615 at the University of Cambridge. It is a religious book on how to live you life according to the word of God. The book has some handwriting beginning in 1690's for the birth of Abraham Farrow's children. Then a William Williams lends the book to Archibald Allen in Stafford Co in the year of 1743. I know that there was a John Allen born to Archibald & Abigail Allen in Stafford during 1743. Archibald must have kept the book as John Allen wrote in his own hand. The last person to own the book and record in it was a Samuel Holiday who wrote he owned this book in 1804. Samuel must have been educated as he wrote in Latin. I was given the book by my uncle in Buncombe Co, NC. He said his Uncle Jesse Wright gave the book to him, saying "This book belongs to our family and came across the ocean with our ancestors." I know that Archibald & Abigail were in Prince William Co and Fauquier Co. I do not know where they went or their son John. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings! I have just joined the list and wish to post my research interests. I am descended from the Patrick SILVEY family that immigrated from Roscommon County, Ireland prior to 1774. My current research centers on Patrick's son, the Reverend Thomas SILVEY, b. 17 Aug 1774 in Prince William County. I am hopeful of learning the city or township of his birth and residence, the surname of his wife Anna whom he married about 1795, and the denomination in which he served. Always happy to share info!! Frank Thompson my url: www.familytreemaker.com/users/t/h/o/Franklin-B-Thompson/

I found on the Family Tree Vol. 7 Tree# 3861 someone submitted the following: Rev. Thomas Silvey was believed to be born in Virginia. He was born August 17, 1774 and died July 31, 1835 in Fayette Co., Very likely Nulltown, Ind. He married a Anna (maiden name unknown) she was born August 02, 1774 where: unknown, and died December 31, 1856 There children: Travis Silvey born 1796 born in Prince William Co., Virginia, he taught the first school in Lawrence Twp., Marion Co./Justice of Peace of Lawrence Twp. Married: Est. 1817-1847 Died: April 24, 1878 Wife: Elizabeth Powers Born 1805 Died 1899 Children: Presley Anna Elizabeth Nancy Hillary L. Silvey Born: July 21, 1798 Prince William Co Married: November 27, 1823 Franklin Co. Indiana Died: Est. 1829-1889 where unknown Wife: Patience Williams Born Jan 10, 1805 Crab Orchard, Ky. Lincoln, Ky. Died: ? Children: Thomas Piner Martha Sarah John Wesley Margaret Anna Elizabeth Mary Fannie Pauline According to a family tree written by Oscar Silvey there were 13 children, but seems to be no record of them. 1812 moved from Va. to 12 Mile Purchase, Ind. 1832 they moved to Lawrence Township, Marion County, Ind. Patience Williams was the daughter of Rev. Ralph Williams. She moved with her parents to Franklin, Ind. when she was 5 years old. Anna Silvey Born: 1793-1820 Died: 1798 - 1903 Elizabeth Silvey Born: 1793-1820 Married: 1809- 1854 Died: 1809 - 1903 HusbanJames P. Seeley Nancy (Silvey) Eskew Born: June 13, 1800 Married 1814-1847 Died: December 26, 1888 Husband: Durry Eskew Dr. Presley S. Silvey Died: March 21, 1872 Married: November 20, 1822 Wife: Frances S. Sterrett Children: Elizabeth James Ashbury Rebecca Ann Thomas Jerusha Jane It goes on to mention the grandchildren listed and their spouses. If you use the software of Family Tree Maker it can be found on Volume 7 Tree #3861. The notes on Rev. Thomas Silvey said: Rev. Thomas Silvey's estate was probated by the Fayette Co. Circuit Court. This is recorded in Probate Order Book "B" pages 231, 245, 248, 281, 326, 385, 392, 369, 371. He died the owner of 110 acres of farm land just across the White Water River from Null Town, Fayette Co., Ind. The person that submitted this information said, "I have seen this farm and talked to the owners in the late 1970s or early 1980s and saw Thomas Silvey and wife Anna's name on the abstract as the second owners of this property. Signed; this day, Dec. 30, 1993. Thomas O. Silvey, 5876 Pendleton Pike, McCordsville, Indiana, 46055. So maybe you can get in touch with this person and they can be more help to you and you might find a new relative. Good luck. June

I'm able to click on the URL's in the e-mail, and they worked fine. Try cutting and pasting as an alternative, or if desperate, try typing in the URL. Good luck. Hope it works. Let me know how it works. What kind of message are you getting? Are you getting "File not found" or the 404 error? Or are you getting the "server might be down" error. If it's the server error, just wait and try some other time. I haven't had much problem with the server being down, and I've accessed the Prince William site frequently because I live in the county.

<A HREF="http://www.co.prince-william.va.us/library">Pr Wm Co Library</A> Look at this site and see if it is available at the Pr Wm Co Regional Library, Bull Run. Good luck. You should be able to contact Mr. Wilson, Beverly or Tish.

How does one get copies of court proceedings for Prince William County, circa 1770s. Namely, Edward Cornwell vs John Steele 2/27/1760 Edward Cornwell vs Leonard Hart 3/25/1761 Edward Cornwell vs William Suitor 7/30/1761 Hoping that the records may provide a clue to get us past the stonewall we have run up against with getting past Edward Cornwell. Thanks, Jim Cornwell Hillsboro, OR

Thanks for responding. No I'm sorry the names are not familiar at all. I have to admit I've done very little in Prince William. Thought I'd better give it a try.
