I'm also researching this line and can NOT find a connection. I've also seen reports that William was a Quaker from Huntingtonshire, England. I've ordered the Quaker B/M/B records from there and can find no mention of the name of Vestal (in any spelling). I've also gotten copies of Besse's "Sufferring of the People Called Quakers" for the same area (and others) and can find no Vestal. I've found several web sites for the Vassalls/Vastals/Etc and there is a William (that doesn't appear to have been researched) but the time period seems wrong. I have been very frustrated by the leap made to connect our William to this other family with no proof. I'd be willing to work with any of you in trying to find his parents. I can be reached at [email protected] Hope to someday solve this mystery.

As far as I know William was not a Quaker but Alice was and the was lead away from the society of friends by George Keith who defected from and cause much trouble in the society. She was baptized at Brandywine Baptist church on June 10, 1697. Their son William was not a Quaker at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Mercer, but a number of years later he did become a member.

Allen, did you ever get a reply to you request for the parents of Sarah Vestal b. 1796 that married Ben. Hinshaw in 1812?? Thanks Mac McCullough
I agree with the idea, but think about it. This is an invitation to Big Brother. First: Mandatory dusk curfew, I go visit my son's grave late at night when I can't sleep. Should the government tell me I can't go there? My family has 19 acres of land. We wanted to bury my son and mother there but REGULATIONS would not allow it. This whole petition says regulations 4 times, mandatory 2 times, restriction once. Restricting, Limiting, Regulating, Those are scary words. Let's not jump on the band wagon without giving it some thought.
Hello, I got this on another list and I am passing it on to you. Thanks, Barbara A part of our history has to include the cemeteries where our ancestors are buried. What is happening to cemeteries and the care (or rather lack of it) given to them is of national concern? That is to say nothing of the cemeteries on private land and those being bulldozed in the name of progress. If you are interested in seeing the petition asking Congress to protect and allocate money to care for our Cemeteries (and possibly signing it), the URL for the petition and signatures is here: <A HREF="http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html">NationalCemetery Protection Act Petition</A> http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html

I have just uncovered a puzzle in the ROBB family I am researching. I have a birth record for ROBS, Laura Fern Vestal, Female, b. 2 May 1924 in Appanoose Co, Iowa. Mother is Lara VESTAL; Father is Clinton ROBS. I am researching a Clint ROBB from Appanoose County - He married Goldie HOLCOMB 5 Aug 1916 in Davis Co, IA and they had one child - she died 1918. He married Lettie Fern CARPENTER in Putnam Co, MO 25 Sep 1925. They had 6 children, the last three born in Iowa, the first three born ? - maybe Putnam Co MO. I have found no other record of a ROBS family in or near Appanoose County. Clint Robb's brother married Hazel VESTAL and there are VESTALs in Putnam County MO during this time period. Does anyone know of Laura ROBS or Clinton ROBS or Laura VESTAL? Thanks LaWanda

I thought the rest of the list might enjoy reading it as well. The town is Elkin, which is in Surry County, North Carolina, it borders Yadkin County. Elkin has applied to put its downtown on the National Register of Historic Places. Evan Vestal is our great-uncle and the grandson of LINDSAY DAVID7 VESTAL (DAVID WILLIAM6, DAVID5, WILLIAM4, THOMAS3, WILLIAM2, WILLAM1 VESTALL) and PRUDENCE VASHTI VESTAL. Still hoping for information on Thomas Vestal married to Grace Swaim. Thanks, Barbara Vestal Byrd Published: April 1, 2000 He Built a Reputation Ed Vestal shores up his community by saving old storefronts in downtown Elkin By Sherry Wilson JOURNAL SURRY COUNTY REPORTER ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Evan Vestal already owned a handful of buildings in downtown Elkin two years ago when his wife said ''no more'' and joked that she might kill him if he bought another. Sometimes the old storefronts would have six or more roof leaks and rotting floors that cost thousands to repair. Vestal, 74, didn't stop buying, but he made offers on a few more buildings in his wife's name, Verlie. The purchases are now a joke between the two, who say that the technicality of his name not being on the deed was the only way he could get around her threat. And he still hasn't stopped buying. Last fall, he bought four more downtown buildings, and as restoration is completed on each, a number of small businesses are taking root in the downtown that 20 years ago was abandoned by big-name department stores and hardware stores. Vestal's restoration efforts have encouraged a handful of other business owners, as well as city officials, who approved a facade grant program this week to help owners fix up downtown buildings. ''Everybody else wants to take a dollar or two and run. I want to keep people here. Before I can get one done, I have some calling who want to rent it,'' said Vestal, who has been in business in Elkin for 56 years. The Vestals now own 15 buildings, including the former J.C. Penney building, which has been home to their furniture and appliance store for about 16 years. He has been in business for 56 years. The Main Street Advisory Board, which provides assistance to individuals and businesses working to improve downtown, thinks of Vestal as a kind of icon for Elkin, said Teresa Howell, who manages programs for the board. The Main Street board approved its facade grant program Tuesday, starting with $6,000 available in the pool, for people such as Vestal, she said. Business owners who want to spruce up the exteriors of their downtown buildings can apply for a matching grant of up to $1,000 of the cost, Howell said. This year, Elkin also applied to put its downtown on the National Register of Historic Places, she said. The state will review applications in June and decide on which to submit for federal consideration. John and Teresa Litschke are among those who have followed in Vestal's footsteps. They have transformed one building into a gallery and restored the upstairs into apartments, Howell said. ''It's kind of a domino effect when everybody's building looks good, the one down the street wants to,'' Howell said. Carol Dobbins, who runs a wedding shop out of one of Vestal's buildings, said that he has nurtured the town and improved its looks. The building where she sells wedding dresses and other formal attire used to be a run-down storefront with seven layers of leaky roofs. Another business owner, Jim Canter, remembers when the building on Main Street that he now leases from Vestal looked so bad that he couldn't imagine moving his clock business into it. Vestal bought it last fall, fixed some bad floors and walls, installed some partitions for a bathroom and cleaning room, and Canter moved in about three months ago. ''I think it's fantastic,'' Canter said. ''It's all overdue. The first time I looked at these buildings, I wouldn't have touched them with a 10-foot pole.'' But Vestal, who always has a carpenter at work repairing old buildings, doesn't want any of the credit for improving downtown. It's nothing to brag about, he said. It is rough fixing up the buildings, he said, but he is just committed to downtown Elkin. ''I will fix up an old building rather than see it stand there vacant, even if I can't get rent for them,'' he said.
As I recall, while on a family vacation in the late 60's or early 70's in Knoxville, my sister and I looked in the Knoxville telephone book for all listings for VESTAL. It was amazing at the very long list of VESTALs that were living there and even more -- how many VESTALs had businesses in Knoxville. I wonder if there are still as many living there. There seem to be many VESTALs with a company of their own.
