Does anyone know the location of property owned by JOHN FLUTE(fflute) in York County prior to 1670?

John Moriarty, was born about1858in Virginnia, I think in York county. His Mother WasElizabeth Lyons, Moriarty his father was James Moriarty. I believe they both were from Ireland. Any help with any of this would greatly appreciated. Joyce Dillman JDill52@AOL

I am researching the BURFORD line. I have not tried your county before. If any one has records going back to late 1770, could you check and see if you have any BURFORD listings of any kind, anything at this point may prove to be the link I cannot find. thanks Dot Harris Burford dotb@adelphia.net

Hello everybody! I haven't posted to this list in a while so I thought I'd give it another shot. I am searching for the descendents of "Scotch Tom" Nelson, who emigrated to York county, VA (I believe he was one of the early settlers of the Yorktown area) from Penrith, Cumberland, England. Any information about any of his descendents would be greatly appreciated!!! I descend from a line of Nelsons that wound up in Illinois (they migrated from Vrginia to Kentucky and then on to Illinois) that I believe to be descended from the before mentioned Thomas Nelson. Any direction that could be provided would be greaty appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! Sincerely Rich Fouke rn4elderly@webtv.net

I'm researching the Moreland family of the 1600s. They were involved with a Wright family - had several intermarriages. ROFE Genealogical Publishing http://www.rof.com/gene

The STONE family of York County, Va is one of my main interests. William Stone died there in 1729. His wife was Sarah (?). They had children: William b c 1708/10 d 1791 in Lunenburg Co Va) he m 1st Martha Frayzer d/o William. #2 Elizabeth Childers d/o Thomas Childers of Henrico Co. Va. This William Stone moved to Henrico Co, then to Goochland, Cumberland as county lines changed. Then in 1750's he moved to Lunenburg Co where he remained. I have found a reference to a Benjamin Stone who died about 1725 in York County. I have references to William who d 1729 in York as early as about 1716 when he was guardian to Mary Pinketham. Also a few other references about this same time. I would appreciate any information on this man. Thank you. Virginia

I am posting this information in case there are any surnames here that are "bell ringers" for family relationships and interconnections to any other HANCOCK family or other family. Nancy/Ann DICKENSON/DICKERSON, dau/o Nathaniel DICKENSON & #1 Lucy ???, b ca 1760 probably Louisa Co., VA; married Joseph HANCOCK; was an heir in her step-brother's (Tarlton B. LUCK's) estate in 1797; & died after 1850 probably Hanover Co., VA. Joseph HANCOCK was b 1759 probably Hanover Co., VA & d 1833 Hanover Co., VA. Siblings of Nancy (DICKENSON) HANCOCK included: John DICKENSON, Noten DICKENSON, Nathaniel DICKENSON, Martha "Patsy" DICKENSON (m George WILKERSON), Garland DICKENSON (m Louisa Co., VA to Elizabeth SNELSON), & DABNEY DICKENSON. After the death of Lucy (???) DICKENSON, Nathaniel DICKENSON m ca 1775 the widow, Elizabeth (?BROWN) LUCK (maiden name probably Elizabeth BROWN, dau/o Tarlton BROWN of Louisa Co., VA). Elizabeth (?BROWN) LUCK had children: Austin LUCK , Sarah LUCK (m Henry SMITH), Tarleton B. LUCK (m Crosha "Cassandra" Cassety KENNEDY), Larkin LUCK , Mary LUCK (m Charles FORREN/FASON/FORTSON), & Elizabeth LUCK (m Bartlett/Bartelot SNELSON). Joseph HANCOCK & Nancy DICKENSON had at least one son Joseph HANCOCK Jr. who was born in 1791 and died sometime after 1850 when he appears in the Hanover Co., VA census with his mother. Others listed as living with them in the census include Amelia HANCOCK (40), Sarah A. HANCOCK (believed to be Sarah A. P. (WALLER) HANCOCK, wf/o Joseph HANCOCK, Jr.)(37), Harriet B. HANCOCK (13), Joseph W. HANCOCK (11), Elizabeth HANCOCK (9), John W. HANCOCK (5) and Susan F. HANCOCK (2). However, I do not have the data as to relationship of these other HANCOCKs mentioned in 1850 Census to Nancy (DICKENSON) HANCOCK or her son, Joseph HANCOCK, Jr. Is Amelia HANCOCK a sister of Joseph, Jr., as I believe Sarah is his wife, and the children are probably children of Joseph Jr. & Sarah? I believe children of Joseph HANCOCK & Nancy DICKENSON included: John HANCOCK (m Louisa Co., VA to Susan Pettus GRAVES), Tarleton HANCOCK, Benjamin HANCOCK, William HANCOCK, & Larkin HANCOCK (m Louisa Co., VA to Sarah PETTUS) besides the Joseph HANCOCK, Jr. (m Louisa Co., VA to Sarah A. P. WALLER) mentioned above. I further believe Joseph HANCOCK (hus/o Sarah) is brother of (Capt.) John HANCOCK b 1753 possibly Hanover Co., VA; m 1774 to Nancy Ann GRAVES, dau/o Thomas GRAVES & Isabella BARTLETT. (Capt.) John and Nancy lived in Louisa Co., VA before removing to KY and finally to Butler Co., OH. I believe that both appear to be sons of Benjamin HANCOCK (possibly b York Co., VA being a son of John HANCOCK of York Co., VA) who it appears owned land in Hanover Co., VA and Louisa Co., VA. Susan Pettus (GRAVES) HANCOCK mentioned above was niece of Nancy Ann (GRAVES) HANCOCK. Thus it appears John & (Capt.) John, their husbands, were also uncle & nephew. Benjamin HANCOCK b ?York Co., VA, ?s/o John HANCOCK of York Co., VA; married Mary BEADLES. Looking for verifications, documentation, & other family connections that may bring our HANCOCK families together or other families. For further information, please see my homepage at: http://home.att.net/~davehancock/HANCOCKhis.html Audrey Shields Hancock, wife of David E. HANCOCK, Sr.

I am looking for any descendants of William BRADSHAW and his wife Mary Ann FORD through any of their children. Virginia, Henry, William Evans, & Matilda Jane (my line). Also supposed to be two other males, John & Edward. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Cindy Fregoe
