Hello, I'm resending this because I see by the digest that I didn't put a proper subject heading on it. Thanks, and apologies, Polly Zashin Hello Prince William researchers, This is my first post although I've been lurking for a while. I am looking for further information, and corrections to the info I have, on John HOOE, known sometimes as "John Hooe of Mayfield." I have two birthdates for him, Oct. 14, 1793, at "Mayfield," Prince William County. However, the 1850 census lists his age as 52, which would place his birth in 1798. He married either two or three times. 1st, Susan FAUNTEROY; 2nd, Elizabeth GREEN (this one may be a mistake; she may be the wife of his son John Hooe); 3rd, Virginia Hooe HANSBROUGH. She was born 1813 in Culpeper Cty. John had three children by his first wife; none reported by his second; and either 10 or 11 by Virginia. I am particularly trying to track the correct names and birthdates of these 10 or 11, especially a son, Rice Hooe, b. 1845. Rice appears to be my great-grandfather, but without further information I can't be certain he is the same as the Rice Winter Hooe who married Mary DAINGERFIELD on August 2, 1873, in Prince George's County, MD. The only reason I have for thinking this Rice is John's son is that his age in the 1880 PG County census corresponds with that of John's son Rice as reported in the 1850 Prince William census. Is this good evidence? How can I go about corroborating it? I have also looked in vain for further information about Mayfield. I understand it was near Manassas and maybe destroyed during one of the battles. I also have seen the "Hooe Family Cemetery" on maps of the battlefield, but no Mayfield. Does anyone know more about both? Who's buried in the cemetery? Any and all help in the form of information or leads to such will be deeply appreciated. Thanks, Polly Zashin
