Does anyone have an 1840 census or could you direct me to one? I am looking for a Perkins family with a 2 year old girl. My Mary Jane Perkins is a brick wall and I am trying to find her parents. Where can I access BMDs for Virginia? Thanks, Jackie Lehman Davidson

Alexander Williams lived, left two sons, John and Hanson (Henson) and died. We know this much from the will and estate administration of William Harden in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties Virginia. Alexander died after May 18, 1781 and prior to May 12, 1786. Alexander Williams was present as an adult in Fairfax County in 1766. There appears to be more than one Alexander Williams in this "neck of the woods" at around this point in time! Loudoun County Personal Property Tax records show an Alexander Williams listed from 1782 until 1797; and Fairfax County lists an Alexander in 1783. Any assistance with primary or secondary documentation of this individual and his lines and their extension greatly appreciated. Always happy to swap files. Walt
