In doing some research today at the Fairfax Co., VA Library in their genealogy area I came across information that the rest of you probably already have but I found interesting because I found it myself. In the Overwharton Parish Register 1720-1760 by William Boogher I found A record of James Isabella Hinson's wedding date of Nov. 13, 1743. And also a listing of the birth of some of their children: Charles b. Nov. l, 1746 d. Feb 22, 1750 (separate entries but gather it is the same Charles), James - July 15, 1749, Mary - Apr. 18, 1752, Ann - July 26, 1755. I also found James Yelton referred to in Will Abstracts of Stafford Co., VA 1729 - 1748. On page 119 he was referred as "1744 paid James Yelton Taylor for making a coat and pair of breeches." On p. 130 William Brent to Peter Hedgeman EXR. To my expenses on Kent Island ... "To Yelton's acct. for Taylor's work done, ... names Negros bot of Mr. Geo Brent paid James Yelton for making up DO in a suit." Is Isabel Hinson's father's name Edmond Hinson? He died Nov. 18, 1742 a Mary Hinson died March 16, 1747 at John Honey's. Okay, just want you to know that I'm doing some research. Thanks for any assistance you can give me. Connie

Hi Connie, Can you check the information again on the Charles who died 22 Feb 1749/50? That is the date of death for Charles Hinson, brother of Edmund. He left his estate to Edmund after his wife Joyce's death as they had no children. Charles Yelton, b. 1 Nov 1746 died in KY 2 Jul 1817 and there is a record that shows he served in the Rev. War. Concerning James Yelton b. abt 1720 m. Isabel Hinson. I have a notation: The last reference is in the Stafford Co., VA 1780-1786 Deed and Will Book. It shows he has died for there is his Inventory totaling twenty five pounds, five shillings and four pence. Recorded in 1784. I'm not sure who the Mary Hinson was that died in 1747 at John Honey's. I do know there is an Ellis - Honey connection as well as a later Yelton - Honey connection so it is entirely possible that they were neighbors in VA. It sure is fun to find this kind of information isn't it. Be careful, this BUG is highly contagious. It truly doesn't matter how many people have seen the information before you. It is still quite a thrill to find isn't it? Let me know what you think about Charles death? Also, if you want any additional information on any one in particular, I'll be glad to look and see if I can be of help. Iris dmreily@compuserve.com
