John Whitehead I- Ancestor- He was born in New Kent County or Nansemond County, Virginia in 1735; he came to Amherst County, Virginia, in about 1760, bringing with him his young wife, Sarah Burcher Whitehead. The Deed Book of Amherst County, Virginia shows he purchased, in 1762, a tract of land of 125 acres on the headwaters of Huff Creek in what is now the Sardis neighborhood. John Whitehead was the type of the sturdy farmer of that period who felled the forest timber and made the wilderness a habitable land. During the Revolution he was a staunch patriot and was a member of a Company raised in Amherst County, Virginia by Colonel William Cabell. He served under the Marquis de Lafayette in the Virginia Campaign and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. A bounty land warrant and record of his service as a soldier in the Cavalry of the Virginia Continental Line are available from the National Archives.

William Camden's common ancestor is the Patriarch: Marble McPatrick Peter Henry Camden 1802-186?, and his wife Sallie L. Hopkins 1898-1875; their children:
1) Shelton W. Camden 1829-1902
2) William M. Camden 1831-1891
3) Christopher C. Camden 1833-1910
4) McDowell Camden (1836-1913)
5) Olivia Frances Camden (1838-1882)
6) Benjamin T. Camden (1840-1901)
7) George W. Camden (1842-1877)
8) Sarah Elizabeth Camden (1846-1909)
"Marble McPatrick Peter Henry Camden was born near Richmond, Virginia, about 1802. He was married
to Sallie L. Hopkins of South Carolina in 1827. They were married in a covered ox-wagon and emigrated at once to near Nashville, Tennessee where their eight children were born. With wife and eight children he came to Illinois in 1848 and settle on the farm in Johnson County near New Burnside. The only other relative
of his family we have heard of his brother John, who was killed in Tennessee, also a sister Cynthia, Mrs. Mock Grace of West Plains, Missouri, she had daughters Mary and Martha Grace.
Marble, our great sixth grandfather, was six feet three inches and had a fist that could "fell an ox". He was stern and yet kindhearted, as the hardships of those early days produced such men. Fighting poverty, stony ground, living outdoors lives, seeking new country, building homes, rearing large families, left little time for
polished manners and soft speaking, yet there was pride and truth, manliness and uprightness, love of justice and independence naturally inbred in his condition. Some call his name Marvel. Grandpa always said, "Marble". Marble's grandfather was a native of England and was in the Cavalry during the Revolutionary war. He named his son Patrick Henry after the great patriot of that time. One branch of Camdens may have come from Ireland but all that could be found of that name are in England and America. Marble is buried at West Plains, Missouri. His wife, Sarah L. Hopkins Camden died May 2, 1875 and is buried at Rich cemetery, Johnson County, with most of her children. Marble's children were:
1) Shelton W. Camden "Shelt", b. August 7, 1829. He had 10 children, married four times; died Dec. 12, 1902. His descendants live in Kansas and West.
2) William M. Camden, "Bill, born 1831, died 1891. His descendants, Hancocks, live in Saline County, Illinois and Oklahoma and Missouri.
3) Christopher Columbus Camden, "Chris", born Sep 6, 1833, died Nov.17, 1910, had 10 children. Grandsons live in Missouri and California.
4) McDowell Camden, born October 17, 1836, died 1913. Had seven children. Descendants in Illinois and Missouri.
5) Olivia Frances Camden, "Leave", Wright, born 1838, died 1882, had seven children. Her descendants
live near Stonefort, Harrisburg, and Marion (Illinois).
6). Benjamin T. Camden, "Ben", born 1840, died 1901; had eight children; descendants in Illinois, Shields at Cobden, Illinois.
7) George W. Camden, born March 15, 1842, died August 20, 1877; four children lived at Creal Springs,
Illinois.
8) Sarah Elizabeth Camden Tidwell, "Babe". born 1846, died 1909; had five children, and they lived in Cairo, Illinois, Memphis, Tennessee. "

John and William Camden
"The Camdens are of English descent. Previous to the Revolution and about the time Lord Fairfax came to America and settled at Greenway Court. Clarke Co., Virginia, 'near to what is known as White Post Office), Harry and John Camden, brothers, came to Maryland and then to Virginia. William and John Camden, sons of John Camden, and other brothers came to the estate of Ford Fairfax in some business capacity and lived here several years. After this, three of them moved to vicinity of Clarksburg. Harrison County, and from there came Richard Camden, President of Western Bank, Lewis County, West Virginia; and Johnson W. Camden of Clarksburg, Virginia; and Johnson W. Camden, Ex-Senator of West Virginia, now of Parkersburg. Two others, John and William Camden, with their two sisters, came to Amherst, about 1761, when Amherst was cut off from Albemarle County, Virginia. John Camden, a farmer, settled at the foot of DePriest Mountain, on the waters of Big Piney River, and it was called "Jack's Hill". It was here that he lived and died, leaving a large family of sons and daughters, the most prominent of whom were John F. Camden and Benjamin Camden of Indian Creek. John and William Camden were veterans of the Revolutionary War. They were in the Amherst militia, which was under the command of Lt. Col. John Pope and Major William
Cabell, Jr. The Militia left Amherst, Sep 14, 1781 and reached Yorktown in time to join Lafayette's Army reached Yorktown in time to join. Lafayette's Army and take part in the battle that ended Oct 19, 1781, and take part in the battle that ended October 19, 1781, and take part in the battle that ended Oct 19, 1781, with Cornwallis surrendering. The ancestral home of the Camdens which is "Jack's Hill" in Nelson County, received here that he erected a colonial dwelling on a lofty pinnacle overlooking his extensive holdings in
Amherst and Nelson Counties, Virginia. John Camden died in 1828, and his property was passed on to John F. Camden. John F. Camden was also, John F. Camden and his family lived there. He died in 1852 and one of his sons received the place." Submitted by D.B.

Double Cousins- "When two sisters marry two brothers, their children have the same two sets of grandparents. Unlike most people, who have a cousin that has grandparents that you have met or care about; these cousins share both sets of grandparents. " It seems to be common back in Colonial America.
"William Cabell, was born March 9, 1687 in Warminster, England, and died April 12, 1774 at Warminster,
England, and died April 12, 1774 at Warminster, Virginia, a town (no-longer existing) that he had founded
on Swan Creek in present-day Nelson County. He married Elizabeth Burks, daughter of Samuel and Mary
(Davis) Burks, who is supposed to have descended from the Powhatan Chief, Opechancanough. It is
said that William Cabell was the first Englishman to penetrate the wild mountain region west of Rockfish
River to locate lands for settlement. By 1734 he had "chopped out" for entry all the low grounds on both
sides of the James River from Howardsville in Nelson County to of the old C&O Railroad Station in Amherst. Although trained as a surgeon in England, he had always ready to turn hand and mind to whatever
frontier life required of him, whether it was dispensing justice, surveying lands, amputating limbs, curing wounds, or negotiating with the Indians. His medical services were generally performed in a "no cure, no play" plan. William & Elizabeth were the parents of five sons William, Jr., Joseph, John, George and
Nicholas all of whom served with distinction during the War of Independence and the formation of a new
Amherst County Court under the "George Mason Constitution". Their grandchildren continued to serve with distinction: William H. Cabell, for example, served as Governor of Virginia. Mary Lilliam (Padgett) Foster descended from William and Elizabeth's only daughter, Mary Cabell (b. Feb 13, 1721, d. bef. Jun 24, 1760) who married William Horsley of Hanover County, had been a tutor in the Cabell's household. Mary (Cabell) Horsley had been remembered for her fearless horsemanship, specifically for her skill in swimming her horse
across swollen streams. She had died by the time her husband made a will on June 24, 1760. Four of the six children born to the couple reach maturity: William, Robert, Elizabeth and John.
Elizabeth Horsley (b. March 22, 1749), the only daughter of William & Mary (Cabell) Horsley, married
Rodericj McColloch (b. Nov 6, 1741 d. Nov 1, 1826) prior to September 2, 176. Roderick was the son of Rev. David McColloch, of Scotland, a Cambridge-educated minister who served the Round Hill Church in Westmorland County, for many years. Roderick McColloch is remembered as a Renaissance man, a fine
scholar, with high literary culture and strong religious feelings", a soldier in the Revolution, Sheriff of Amherst County, Vestryman of Lexington Parish and a lay delegate to the 1786 Episcopal Convention. Roderick also secured legislative authorization to raise money, by way of lottery, for the establishment of Warminster
Academy. The eldest of the nine children born to Elizabeth (Horsley) and Roderick McCulloch was Mary McColloch who marriage to Peter Presley Thorton made her the grandmother of Mary Lilliam (Padgett) Foster (see "Thornton-McColloch Ancestry" for a continuation of this line).

Notes for John Massie
Heritage
"In the beginning there was a man named John. Actually he wasn't the beginning because before him was Charles and before him was his father who hasn't been discovered. Charles had a farm in Albemarle County called SpringValley and we know he had an orchard and sold some cider to Thomas Jefferson because there's a plaque at Monticello that says so. Never-the-less John was the beginning in Amherst County. He
came during the 1770's to be a teacher in the region of Mount Moriah Church. He served in the Revolutionary war as did his father Charles. He later married Susannah Wright and settled on Piney River above the town of Woodson and they had nine children. These children and their descendants spread far and wide but are connected to many in Amherst County, Virginia and the surrounding counties Nelson, Campbell, and Bedford counties. As far as can yet be determined no tie exists with the Massies of Massie's Mill. John was a soldier in the Revolutionary war serving as an ensign. (Amherst County, Virginia in the Revolution including Extracts from the "LOST ORDER BOOK, 1773-1782 page 36"). His father also served in that war. John's family applied for a war pension but did not receive this because of some documentary difficulty. (son Thomas and others applied as "comet" and DAR records suggest that the John Massey-comet was from Albemarle County.) John predeceased his father by 17 years but his widow is mentioned in Charles will. In the pension application may by Thomas Massie, John is stated to have moved from Albemarle to Amherst during the war, where married Susanna Wright January 1, 1779. The court order denying this petition was issued in Nelson County in 1818. It is beyond the possibility of this brief to do justice to such a vast group of descendants. Many will know of their tie to this family. Some have been mentioned in the written history of the Viginia. Many served in wars and did not return home. I know of several who fought on the side of the south in the War Between the States. Two remained in graves at Gettyburg. Samuel Preston Massie, a grandson, returned from the war and entered the Baptist ministry, serving many of the churches in this and Nelson County. He was instrumental in founding several churches and was a noted evangelist. His brother, Paulus Powell Massie also was a Baptist minister and served several county churches. He and his wife, Emma Woodson Massie, were instrumental in establishing Rose Union Baptist Church in Nelson County. A granddaughter, Josephine, married into the Saunders family that remains prominent in Nelson County. Thomas Massie, a grandson, ran a grist mill at Alhambra on upper Piney River and was a noted metallurgist. Self-taught. He discovered the Martha Cash Tin Mine in the region.

More about John Massie
Fact 1: Recorded children's name in Dictionary in possession of family member
Notes for Susanna Wright:
John Massie was one of the executors of the estate of Benjamin Wright, along with Jesse Wright and John
Camden. Susanna was paid in 1804 (widow of John) 20 pounds as Legatee.
In support of the application for a Revolutionary war pension made by Elizabeth Whitehead Wright on behalf
of her husband Moses Wright, Susannah Massie called "Mrs. Susan Massie", a respectable resident of the
county of NELSON-that she is 81 year old-and recollects distinctly that Moses Wright-did serve a tour of duty at the Barracks near Charlottesville guarding the British prisoners captured at Burgoynes defeat.-
that he served another tour doen below Richmond but details had slipped her mind--". Signed by her mark X. Also declared by above that Benjamin Camden, Johnathan Campbell and James Ramsey were a long with Moses. She recollects that Jimmy Thompson brother of Billy Thompson was with Moses on one tour of duty in the Revolutionary War.
In her will presented to the court of Nelson County by the executor of the Court of Nelson County by the executor of her estate, Thomas Massie and witnesses, William Wright, and Charles Massie, she directed her
tract of land in Amherst County of 100 acres be sold as well as her stock, household and kitchen furniture to be sold, the proceeds distributed as follow: for Nancy Massie, daughter to William Massie for love and for
absolute service she rendered in her old age-
In 1853 Edmund was in Nelson County, Virginia. The 1860 Census of Nelson shows Edmund, Sr. age 79 with Susan age 50 in the home (probably his daughter Susan born about 1810) along with Daniel L. Wright 49, a school teacher.
Interesting is a record showing Edmund's son Thomas Massie is a junior. Could this mean that Edmund was "Thomas Edmund"? He already has a brother Thomas Jefferson Massie, another Thomas name among siblings? It certainly has occurred in naming multiple children but no substantiation, nor certain spelling of Edmund (o). A copy of John Massie's dictionary, presumably written in John Massie hand gives Edmond;s
birthdate and spells clearly the name with "it".
18. Nancy 7 Massie (William W. 6, John 5, Charles 4, Thomas 3, Thomas 2, Edmund Massey) she married
Moses Wright January 01, 1844 in Amherst County, Virginia.
Notes for Nancy Massie:
Nancy received from Susannah in 1/8th interest in the assests of her estate because of the love and ernest care rendered in her old age.

Rubinette Niemann- "In a letter of 1872 written by my g-g-grandfather, James Miller
(1786-1880) of Amherst County to his nephew in St. Charles, MO, he refers to Whiteheads in the following: "...I heard that N. (probably Napoleon) Miller wrote the death of Frances
with the fever. Dr. Thompson from Amherst Courthouse is their principal Doctor..."
John Whitehead, I, died in April, 1787, and at the September Term of Court of that year his wife, Sarah,

"The Whitehead family records prior to the civil war can only be surmised as my ancestor in that
line came from New Kent County and all records were lost in the burning of the clerks Office during
the Peninsula Campaign in 1862. There is reasonable evidence that John Whitehead was one of three brothers that migrated from England to Virginia in the late 18th Century. Two of the brothers remained in the Tidewater area while John moved to New Kent County and then to Amherst County."

My fourth Great- grandfather Burcher Whitehead, born 1764 October 12 in New Kent County, Virginia; married Nancy Camden, daughter of William and Sybil (Dent) Camden in 1788; they had the following children: Sixteen children, but only 8 were given in this website above.
John Whitehead, born October 25 1789, Amherst County, Virgina; m. Anna Mahoney, an Irish woman; he died April 25, 1857, Amherst County, Virginia; burial: Coleman Cemetery,
Amherst County, Virginia. She is the daughter of Dennis Mahoney, immigrated from Ireland. John Whitehead, grandson of Amherst County, Virginia settlers John Whitehead and Sarah Burcher, son of Burcher Whitehead and wife Nancy Camden, was born 25 October 1789 at "Tudor Hall", west of Amherst Courthouse, home of his grandfather William Camden. He married in Amherst County 25 February 1812, Anner R. Mahoney, of County Kerry, Ireland. Her father had taken part in Emmett's ill-fated Irish rebellion. He escaped with his small daughter to America. The day that John saw Anner, he told his father that he would marry her when he became a man. He did. John and Anner were active members of the Methodist church. Anner died in Lynchburg 17 Dec. 1856, it is said that John died of grief the following year, 25 April 1857. Both were buried in Amherst, Virginia. John moved to Nelson County by 1815 and bought in 1820 a farm two miles north of Lovingston. He opened a general store in Lovingston, trading under the name "John Whitehead & Co., " [Nelson Deed Book 3, p. 144] he served as a justice of the peace. From 123 to 1835 he was a Deputy Sheriff. He was a commissioner for the erection of the county jail (in use until 1935) and
helped to draw its plans which are in the county files. 1829 he and nine other Lovington residents purchased a one-half acre lot in the village for a community school. [Nelson Deed Book 6, pg. 361] On that lot a brick schoolhouse was built which his grandson, S.B. Whitehead, Sr., attended after the civil war. He moved to Lynchburg in 1835. One of the large banks there experienced a serious defalcation. The directors sought a man of unquestionable integrity. They offered a position to "honest John Whitehead". He accepted and remained with the Virginia Bank until his death. [Recollections of granddaughter Anna Irvine Whitehead Smoot to nephew Robert Whitehead (1897-1960).
His eight children included Robert Whitehead 1815-1898, Nelson County lawyer and commonwealth Attorney; Dr. Marcellus Whitehead 1821-1885, of Salisbury, NC; Thomas Whitehead (1825-1901) of Lynchburg and Amherst, lawyer, Capt., CSA, member of Congress, owner and editor of the Lynchburg Advance, and Virginia's Commissioner of Agriculture 1887-1899; Edgar Whitehead 1828-1910, of Amherst, Capt. in Virginia Second Cavalry Company E. , tobacconist and family genealogist; and Rev. Paul Whitehead (1830-1906), noted Methodist Preacher and President of Farmville College (now Longwood
College). His great-grandson, Robert Whitehead 1897-1960, Nelson County, Virginia, lawyer and legislator, wrote to a cousin: "you and I owe much to the infusion of the Irish blood of Anner Mahoney in the Whitehead strain. The cross was a good one, and every child of that union was outstanding in some field. I believe that the Irish blood accounts for much of the wit, humor and resourcefulness of the descendants of Robert and Thomas Whitehead." (submitted by and written by Ann Whitehead Thomas (Mrs. H. Rogers Thomas), great-great-grandaughter of John Whitehead."
"John Whitehead and Family"
"When John Whitehead (179-1857) came to Nelson County is unknown. That he was in Lovingston on
December 2, 1818 is shown by a deed from Solomon Matthews and wife. "Of the town of Lovingston" to "John Whitehead & Company of said town". John bought and lived north of Lovingston on both sides of and fronting on the present Route 29, by first deed dated November 28, 1820. John took a prominent part in county affairs and on November 28, 1820 qualified as a justice of the peace and served on the county court. He was a commissioner for the erection of the jail, abandoned about 1935. From 1823 to 1835 he served as Deputy for various sheriffs. In 1829 he and nine other Lovington residents purchased a one- half-acre lot in the village and built a brick community school. John Whitehead, son of Burcher (1764-1814) and Nancy Camden Whitehead (1771-1838), was born in Amherst County in 1789. His mother was the daughter of William and Sybil Dent Camden. William Camden came to what is Nelson County and settled at Greenway on the James River and operated a tobacco warehouse, store and tavern on Mobley's Creek. William acquired about 3,000 acres in Amherst County, Virginia around Sardis Church and built a large residence,
"Tudor Hall". Nancy Camden Whitehead died at "Forkland", then the home of Floyd Lee Whitehead, her son and John's brother. John married February 24,1812 to Anner Mahoney (1794-1856), an Irish woman, the daughter of Dennis Mahoney, who participated in Emmett's Rebellion and escaped to America.
Burcher Whitehead was the son of John Whitehead (1755-1787) of New Kent County, who came to Amherst County about 1760 with his bride Satah Burcher and settled in the Sardis neighborhood. He was a
sturdy farmer who felled the forest timber and made the wilderness a habitable land. He joined the Revolutionary Army, on September 14, 1781, left Amherst and was present at Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered. He was listed among 277 soldiers from Amherst under Major William Cabell, Jr., John & Anner Mahoney Whitehead had eight children all born in Lovingston:
1. Edwin James Lawrence (1813-1815)
2. Robert, (1815-1898), the eldest son of John and Anner Whitehead at age fifteen years, went to Augusta College, a Methodist institution in Bracken County, Kentucky. "Forty miles above Cincinnati on the banks of the Ohio River, it took nine days to reach from his home in Virginia, a wearisome journey in stages over miry roads and the terrors of which prevented him from returning home during the whole of his college course of three years." In 1836 he received his law degree from the University of Virginia. After practicing law in Lynchburg for three years, he returned to Lovingston and built a law office on the Courthouse Square in 1841. He practiced there and served as Commonwealth's Attorney from 1845 to 1892. Robert moved to "Forkland" in 1853, bought it in 1863, and died there in 1898." Submitted by Sandra Stone Whitehead.

A Continental soldier, and a member of Gen. George Washington's "Corps of Dragoons" from 1778 -1783. He was an active member of Saint Paul's Reformed Church, and is buried in the cemetery in Woodstock (Shenandoah County) Virginia; he did age 84; Frances Antoinette Effinger Nelson, b. September 9, 1831-d. January 13, 1907 Massies Mill,Nelson County, Virginia; "when her father died in 1843, she moved to live with her sister Elizabeth had married William Massie's son Thomas J. Massie around the same time. Her
oldest and best situated sister was Maria who was married to William Massie of nearby "Pharsalia". Elizabeth was only two year's younger than Catherine but about 15 years older than Fannie. William was also now Elizabeth father-in-law and her sister was her mother-in-law as William was her new husband's father. As it so happened in this complicated tale, Thomas and his father had a falling out some years before over his uncle, Thomas Massie, at the "Blue Rock" farm.
William must have also become estranged to both of his brothers as well as his son. In fact all three
Massie brothers had become estranged from each other, but more on that is in the Massie story, A
very strange family indeed. At the time of the 1860 Census both sisters, Thomas J. and Dr. Thomas
Massie were all living together Dr. Massie was 78 and Fannie was 26. They lived at the home
enumerated next to that of Henry C. Boyd and Juliet Ann Massies Boyd. Years later her grand-
daughter Evelyn Mahone would marry a descendant of the heirs to "Blue Rock" and they would have
their form on a part of the property. Maria Keller's notes say that they lived at "Snug Dale", Red Hill, but
this home may have been lost due to Thomas J. Massie's financial problems.
Her granddaughter Evelyn would remember that when she saw her she thought she was fat, but it turned
out to be only the many layers of petty coats she would wear. When she died she was living at home of
Evelyn's mother Maria, and Evelyn would have been 9 years old. She was buried in the Jonesboro
Cemetey in Roseland, Nelson County, Virginia."

"History of Redd Family" by J.S. Redd, of Pacos, Halifax Co., VA
"The Redd name is a very uncommon one and there is little doubt that all the families of that name in Virginia and in the other southern and western states are descendants of the same ancestor,
SIR WILLIAM RUFUS de REDDS who came to Virginia from England, with Governor Alexander Spottswood, during the early part of Queen Anne's reign, 1702-1714. From the best authority that can be found, it cannot be doubted that the name Redd or de Redde, as it was originally called, had its origin with a noble house, that of William Rufus, the son of the Conqueror, which latter is known by every school boy as the first of the Norman Kings in England, and mounted the throne of England immediately mounted the throne of England immediately after the famous battle of Hastings, fought in the year 1066. English historians have generally derived that William I or William Rufus was lawfully married this statement is not true, as there is authority of the highest order to establish the fact that he was married and not 'in the purple'. as it was then called, which means that he was not married during this reign. He was, however, married before the death of his father, the conqueror, and had one son. This son was also named William, and accompaned his uncle Robert, Duke of Normandy and his crusading army to Jersalem during the year 1098, that being known in history as the "first Crusade'. For authority as to this statement the reader is referred to the works of Rev. E. Cobham Breeder, LLD, of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, England, and also Lasso, "Jersalem Delivered."

Their children:
1. +Thomas Rogers, Jr., b. 1586 or 1587 Stratford Upon Avon, England; d. 1620, Massachusetts; He would be the Ninth Generation; a member of the Rogers Family, and he married in England, 1606 probably in Wiltshire. It is thought he had moved from his birthplace to Dorset or Wiltshire where many of his relatives lived with, or without their financial help, he went into business. He was said to have been a very successful businessman. He was known in London as a Camelot Merchant. We know his first, and possibly only, marriage was to a woman named Grace, but cannot account for the fact in Holland, his wife was called Elsgen. At any rate, Thomas and Grace had five sons, and possibly two daughters. The boys, we know, were all born in England before Thomas went to Leyden (Leiden), Holland in 1618 and became a citizen there. He was sponsored by two members of the Pilgrim community who had come from Worksop, Notts, and Sandwich, Kent in England. In April 1620, he sold his Leyden home in preparation for the trip across the Atlantic with the other Pilgrims. According to a 1622 Poll Tax in Leyden the Rogers Family still in Leyden consisted of a widow, Elsgen (Thomas had died in the first winter the pilgrims were in Plymouth Colony and is buried in Coles Hill, Plymouth, MA), son John and daughters Lysbeth and Grietgen (Elizabeth and Margaret). It is possible Elsgen was a second wife who Thomas had married in Leyden at the time of the Poll Tax. It is possible that Thomas actually had come to Leyden earlier than 1618. His youngest son, James was born in England in 1615 but only John went to Leyden with his father Thomas, William and James were still quite young during these years so I can't help but wonder where they might have been at this time.
Joseph, the eldest, would have been about 14 when he came on the Mayflower with his father but there is no evidence he had been in Leyden so he could have joined up with his father in England where he had been living with his younger brothers and mother. Apparently, the Mayflower Society recognizes only Joseph and John as children of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. Since John is our ancestor, I shall leave this whole puzzle of Thomas Rogers and his possible wives and children to some future generation that might like to try and solve it."
"The English Ancestry of the Pilgrim Thomas Rogers and his wife Alice (Cosford) Rogers"
"The accepted lineage researched and published by Clifford Stott in 'The Genealogist'"
Thomas Rogers was one of the unfortunate Mayflower passengers who died during the "first sickness at Plymouth" in the winter of 1620/21. Nonetheless, an extensive posterity is attributed to him through at least two sons, Joseph and John. Until recently little was known concerning Thomas Rogers' children and parentage; this did not deter authors and tantalizing account written in 1650 by a fellow passenger, (Governor) William Bradford: "Thomas Rogers dyed in the first sickness, but his sons Joseph is still living,and married and hath 6 children. The rest of Thomas Rogers (children) came over, and are married, and have many children." Family historians speculated for many years concerning the identities of these "other children". With little or no evidence, Thomas Rogers was made the father of a number of emigrants to New England, including James Rogers of New London, James Rogers of Newport, and William Rogers of Connecticut and Long Island. This last connection, at least, has been disproved. John Rogers, can be authenticated from New England records. He probably arrived at Plymouth about 1630 when the last of the separatists arrived from Leiden. John was taxed in Portsmouth on March 1633. On 6 April 1640 Joseph Rogers and John Rogers "his brother" were granted fifty acres each at North River (Marshfield), thus proving John's identity.
Henry Martyn Dexter and Morton Dexter published evidence from Dutch Records in 1905 showing that Thomas (1) Rogers was a Camlot merchant. On 25 june 1618 he was admitted as a citizen of Leiden, a distinction not held by all the English Separatist. He sold his house on the Barbara Steey to one Mordecai
when on 1 April 1620 for 300 guilders, probably in anticipation of his removal to America. Additional research in Leidem recored by Jeremy Bangs showed that the house had been purchased in 1616 or 1617 from a baker, Jan Bloemsaet, and that Rogers had sued Blomsaet and his bondsman Gerrit Gerritsz on 22 February 1619 to release a lien on the house. "
"Robert Wakefield's examination of the 1622 Leiden Poll Tax lists reveal that when Thomas (1) Rogers left fr America his wife Alice, two daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, and son John remained in Leiden. In the household of Anthony Clements, apparently one of the English Separatists who did not emigrate to Plymouth, are found to be: Jan Thomasz, orphan from England without means.
Elsgen (Alice) Rogers, widow of Thomas Rogers, an English women in the back part of the house or in the kitchen. Lysbeth ( Elizabeth) and Grietgen (Margaret)
In the Dutch Patronymic system, Jan Thomasz is equivalent to John, son of Thomas. His placement above Thomas Rogers' widow and his description as "orphan from England" suggest that his is John (2) Rogers, later of Plymouth. It has been speculated that the daughter Elizabeth came to Plymouth and married Samuel
(1) Eddy, since the latter was granted land at Plymouth on 3 June 1662 reserved for "the first born children" of the colony or their parents. As Samuel did not in his own right qualify on either count, it is possible that his wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Thomas (1) Rogers."
Rev. John "The Martyr" Rogers, born 4 Feb 1507 in Deritend, Aston, Warwick, England; died 4 Feb 1555
in Smithfield, Newgate Street, Hertford, England at age 48; his first wife was Adriana Alids de Pratt de Weyden, b. 1511 in Brabant, Antwerp, Belgium, Netherlands; d. before 1539 in Smithfield, England at age
28 years. He was a clergyman, Bible translator and martyr under Mary I of England. Biography-Early Life:
Rogers was born in Deritend, an area of Birmingham than within the parish of Aston. His father was also called John Rogers and was a Lorimer-a maker of bits and spurs-whose family came from Aston; his mother was Margaret Wyatt, the daughter of a tanner with family in Erdington and Sutton Coldfield. Rogers was educated at the Guild School of St. John The Baptist in Deritend, and at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge University, where he graduated B.A. in 1526. Between 1532 and 1534 he was rector of Holy Trinity the Less in the City of London. "Antwerp and the Matthew Bible"- In 1234 Rogers went to Antwerp as Chaplain to the English merchants of the Company of the Merchant Adventurers. Here he met William Tyndale, under whose influence he abandoned the Roman Catholic faith, and married Antwerp native Adriana de Weyden (b. 1522, anglicised to Adriana Pratt in 1552) in 1537. After Tyndale's death, Rogers pushed on with his predecessor's English version of the Old Testament, which he used as far as 2 chronicles, employing Myles Coverdale's translation (1535) for the remainder and for the Apocrypha. Although it is claimed that Rogers was the first person to ever print a complete English Bible that was translated directly from the original Greek and Hebrew, there was also a reliance upon a Latin translation of the Hebrew Bible by Sebastian Munster and published in 1534/5. Tyndale's New Testament had been published in 1526. The Complete Bible was put out under the pseudonym of Thomas Matthew in 1537; it was printed in Paris and Antwerp by Andriaba's uncle, Sir Jacobus Van Meteren. Richard Grafton published the streets and got leave to sell the edition (1500 copies) in England. At the insistence of Archbishop Cranmer, the "King's most gracious license" was granted to this translation. Previously in the same year, the 1537 reprint of the Myles Coverdale's translation had been granted such a license. The pseudonym "Matthew" is associated with Rogers, but it seems more probable that Matthew stands for Tyndale's own name, which, back then, was dangerous to employ. Rogers had little to do with the translation; his own share in that work was probably confined to translating the prayer of Manasses (inserted here for the first time in a printed English Bible), the general task of editing the materials at his disposal, and preparing the marginal notes collected from various sources. These are often cited as the first original English Language commentary on the Bible. Rogers also contributed the song of Manasses in the Apocrypha, which he found in a French Bible printed in 1535. His work was largely used by those who prepared the Great Bible (1539-40), and from this came the Bishops' (1568) and the King James Version. Rogers matriculated at the University of Wittenberg on 25 November 1540, where he remained for three years, becoming a close friend of Philipp Melanchthon and other leading figures of the early Protestant Reformation. On leaving Wittenberg he spent four and a half years as a superintendent of a Lutheran church in Meldorf, Dithmarschen, near the mouth of the River Elbe in the north of Germany. Rogers returned to England in 1548, where he published a translation of Philipp Melanchthon's "considerations of the Augsburg Interim. In 1550 he was presented to the Crown living at St. Margaret Moses and St. Sepulchre in London, and in 1551 was made a prebendary of St. Paul's, where the dean and chapter soon appointed him divinity lecturer. He courageously denounce the greed shown by certain courtiers with reference to the property of the suppressed monasteries, and defended himself before the privy council. He also declined to wear the prescribed vestments, donning instead a simple roundcap. On the Accession of Mary he preached at Paul's Cross commending the "true doctrine taught in King Edward's days," and warning his hearers against "Pestilent Popery, idolatry and Superstition."
Rogers was also against radical Protestants. After Joan of Kent was imprisoned in 1548 and convicted in April 1549, John Foxe, one of the few Protestants opposed to burnings, approached Rogers to intervene to save Joan, but he refused with the comment that burning was "sufficiently mild" for a crime as grave as heresy."
"Imprisonment and Martyrdom"- "On 16 August 1553 he was summoned before the council and bidden to keep within his own house. His emoluments were taken away and his prebend was filled in October. In January 1554, Bonner, the new Bishop of London, sent him to Newgate Prison, where he lay with John Hooper, Laurence Saunders, John Bradford and others for a year. Their petitions, whether for less rigorous treatment or for opportunity of stating their case, were disregarded. In December 1554, Parliament re-enacted the Penal Statutes against Lollards, and on 22 January 1555, two days after they took effect, Rogers (with ten other people) came before the council at Gardiner's house in Southwark, and defended himself in the examination that took place. On 28 and 29 January he came before the commission appointed by Cardinal Pole, and was sentenced to Death by Gardiner for heretically denying the Christian character of the church of Rome and the real presence in the Sacrament. He awaited and met death cheerfully, though he was even denied a meeting with his wife. He was burned at the stake on 4 February 1555 at Smithfield. Noailles, the French ambassador, part of the people: "even his children assisted at it, comforting him in such a manner that it seemed as if he had been led to a wedding."

1. Eldest, Thomas Rogers (9th Gen.), b. 1586, England; d. 1620, MA; m. in Englan 1606 in Wiltshire. "It is thought he had moved from his birthplace to Dorset or Wiltshire where many of his relatives lived with or without their financial help, he went into business.

Elsgen (Thomas had died in the first winter the Pilgrims were in Plymouth, MA), son John and daughters Lysbeth (Elizabeth) and Grietgen (Margaret). It is possible Elsgen was a second wife whom Thomas had married in Leyden after he arrived there in 1618 since the two daughters were considered infants at the time of the Poll Tax. Thomas actually had come to Leyden earlier than 1618. His youngest son, James was born in England in 1615, but only John went to Leyden with his father. Thomas, William and James were still quite young during these years. Joseph, the eldest, would have been 14 when he came on the Mayflower with his father but there is no evidence he had been in Leyden so he could have joined up with this father in England, where he had been living with his younger brothers and his mother.
Apparently, the Mayflower Society recognizes only Joseph and John as children of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers.

"According to the book "Descendants of Thomas Rogers" there were a number of land transactions in which John was involved between 1662 and 1685. As one of the "ancient freemen" he was given land in 1662 on the northerly side of Taunton. In 1664 he sold half his meadow north west of "Joanes River", with the consent of wife Ann. This is the only time she is called by name except at their marriage. Several other land transactions took place over the years. He died 11 February 1692 and his will was probated 20 September 1692."

The second generation: 1. Cary Ferguson was born before 1683 in Old Rappahannock Co., Va.
John Ferguson's marriage to Ann Stubbleson may not have been his first.
"In the deed of sale, Ferguson to Jewell, John refers to his wife as, "the said Ann, my now wife." In his deed
of gift to class and Cary Caston he makes the statement." ...and further oblige myself to CAUSE my wife, Ann Fargisson, to acknowledge her right of dower..." These two statements and the fact we will find in his he did not mention his son-in-law and daughter, Cary, lead one to speculate that Ann Stubbleson may have been his second wife and not the mother of Cary. If this is the case then the estimates of the date of birth for both John and Cary could well be invalid." (Quoted from "My Ferguson Ancestors in America, 1680-1993", by James Edward Ferguson, 2nd printing June 1997.) Cary was mentioned as a daughter of John Ferguson first wife, and AnnStubbleson would be his second wife. Cary Ferguson, female, married to Class Caston in Virginia. Class Caston died before Jul 6, 1714 in Virginia.
Other sources thinks Cary was a child of Ann Stubbleson Ferguson. No definitive proof either way.

John Caston is mentioned in Ann Stubbleson Ferguson's Will as "my grandson John Caston" although Ann does not refer to John's mother Cary.

"Was an ample fortune given to him by his father, Nelson was able to live a style of common elegance and hospitality; together, they would have 13 children.
Their son,
(1) Hon. Hugh Nelson (1768-1836), would later serve in the US Congress. In 1772, his father died. leaving him 20,000 acres of land and more than 400 slaves. Just two years later, in 1774, after hearing about the Boston Tea Party, he performed an act against te British Tea Tax by boarding a merchant ship,
Virginia, which was anchored near his home, and dumped several chests of tea in the York River.
In an age when destroying another person's property was a serious crime, this was a very risky act, yet he was not punished for doing this. He served as delegate to the Continental Congress from 1775 to 1777, and again in 1779. He was one of the first congressmen to favor independence, and
urged his fellow delegates to support the cause of independence. The following spring, in May 1777, he suffered the first of many strokes. Returning home, he seem to recover, but would have additional
strokes as well as periodic bouts of asthma. Despite these health problems, he kept active in politics, and in 1781, he was elected as Virginia 's Governor, succeeding Thomas Jefferson. In addition, he
commanded the Virginia Militia with the rank of General. In the fall of 1781, General Nelson led 3,000 Virginia militiamen as part of George Washington's Army besieging Yorktown. When the
British took refuge in his home, American artillerymen refused to fire at his house, in respect to
General Nelson. Nelson then aimed and fired a cannon at his house, destroying it. The British
surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, marking the end of the major fighting in the American Revolution. Thomas Nelson had sacrificed his health, his home and his fortune to help win independence. He died in 1787 at the age of fifty while living at his son's home in Hanover County,
Virginia. Hugh Nelson was United States Minister to Spain from 1823 to 1825. He married Eliza Kinloch Nelson (1781-1834) and his burial: Belvoir Family Cemetery, Cismont, Albemarle Co., Virginia; their children are:
1. Francis Kinloch Nelson (b. Mar. 2, 1800 Cismont, Albemarle Co., Virginia-d. Nov. 22,1862
Albemarle Co., Virginia); he was born at "Belvoir", lived at "Peachalorum" (now Rougemont"),
and concluded his years at "Clover Fields". At the time of his second marriage, he described
"Clover Fields", his new wife's property, as having "all the buildings necessary for farming
purposes wanting" and the farm "ragged, bushy, and briery" in 1847-1848.
He died at his residence in the county of Albemarle, on the 22nd instant, in the 63rd year of his
age. After a long and painful sickness, which was borne with great fortitude and Christian
resignation, the deceased passes away from the earth quickly and most peacefully. He was a man
of no ordinary character-endowed by nature with bright wit and a great flow of spirits, he was a
delightful companion in every society. To these lighter gifts he added a sound judgment and
strong sense, united with great energy, industry and _______of character. These qualities ensured
him success in his profession, and made him one of the best farmers in his county, Though well
qualified for public life, and at times solicited to enter that arena, Mr. Nelson never would consent
to leave the walks of private life. He, however, served his native county for many years on the
bench, as a justice of the peace, a position for which his perfect uprightness, clear, quick
perception, and _____ _______ of character, rendered him eminently fit. The prudence which
he possessed in an eminent degree was tempered with great generosity, and the Church, of which
he was a member, will long mourn the loss of one of her most generous supporters. Nor had he
sought and found true wisdom, and throughout his long and trying illness the value of the
Christian's faith was made manifest in view of death. He sleeps by his ancestors of three
generations pat and amid the kindred dust of those who, in the exercise of a like precious
faith fell asleep in Jesus. "Them also which sleep in Jesus will god bring with him."

"A small Diary of 1845: Anne Kinloch Meriwhether-Introducton: Anne Page Brydon, an early member of the Meriwether Society, wrote the following article which was published in "The Magazine of Albemarle
County History" vol. 33, 1975, vol. 34, 1976. By Anne Page Brydon "In these days of rapid communication, it comes as a distinct surprise to realize the extent of which our great-grandparents of the
horse and buggy era kept in touch with their relatives, not only on neighbouring plantations, but also with those far removed. A scrap of a diary recently discovered among some old letters describes in the sketchy words of a fourteen year-old girl the day-to-day events that took place, including visits among aunts and uncles and "cousins by the dozens" in Albemarle county living at Kinloch, Belvoir, Keswick, Cloverfields, Castalia, Cismont, Castle Hill, Music Hall, and even in Charlottesville. But surely the highlight of that spring
of 1845 must have been the trip to Charleston via train and steamboat to visit her relatives in the Low Country of South Carolina. (It is most tantalizing that the diarist never says who accompanied her-only once
does she use the plural pronoun "we"-we can only guess that it may have been her mother or older sister or an aunt.)
Anne Kinloch Meriwhether was in her fifteenth year when she kept the small diary reproduced below, covering the period from January 10 to Jul 1845. She was born in Albemarle County, Virginia on May 5, 1830. Her father, Dr. Thomas Warner Meriwhether (1803-1862), a graduate in medicine from the University of Pennsylvania, had a large and in addition was a most successful farmer, being noted particularly for his fine "mountain tobacco" which was often shipped abroad. Her mother, Anne Carter Nelson (c. 1804-1858), was the daughter of Hon. Hugh Nelson and Eliza Kinloch of "Belvoir". The plain two-story house of Kinloch (later enlarged and embellished with a portico) was built by Dr. Meriwhether in 1839 on a portion of the Belvoir estate and named in honor of the Kinloch family of South Carolina from which his wife descended. Dr. Meriwhether owned the easter portion of "Cloverfields" which is now known as "Cloverfields" which is now known as "Clover Hill". His medical office was at "Sunset Cabin". He and his
family early on lived at "Clover Fields" but later moved to "Kinloch" when his wife inherited the property from her family.
Eliza Kinloch Nelson, born Dec 31, 1781 South Carolina; died June 4, 1834 Albemarle Co., Virginia; daughter of Mildred Walker, and her husband Francis Kinloch. Married at age 18 in 1799 to Hugh Nelson who father had signed the Declaration of Independence and acting Governor of Virginia. She

"The Nelsons are my ancestors and I have been looking for the grave of Thomas Frederick Nelson (76426603) for years and since he had died in Nelson County during the Civil War had assumed he was
buried there as well. Now I finally find him listed as being buried in the Belvoir Family Cemetery in Cismont,
Albemarle County, Virginia. He was married to his first cousin who was the one more directly connected to the families in this cemetery. I do not know where she is buried if not here since she died in Clarke County
in 1841 but it would have made little sense to bury Thomas as far from the rest of his family if his wife was not buried there as well." -Andy Keller, descendant of Thomas Nelson.

1972; "Since Evelyn's mother died when her oldest child was only less than three years
old, Ida is the only Mahone Grandmother they ever knew. They felt a much greater closeness to her than they ever did to ther surviving grandmother Gantt who lived much closer to them. "Big Ida", as she was known to her step-grandchildren, and father Mahone were the "fixers" in their lives. If anything was wrong, the Gantt children would go to them to make it right. While Evelyn's relationship with her father may at times have been strained before her marriage, her children apparently never had that problem, and is not that way normally is with grandparents. Ida ran a country store owned by her husband for years until the sales tax was instituted and figures it was about time to retire. She closed the store but continued to live in the building until the building was flooded by Hurricane Camille in 1969. The building was right by the Tye River and during the night water can came at least half-way up the steps. She is said to have started to come down the steps, during the night of the storm only to step into water and go back to bed. The house was so badly damaged that it was later torn down. She went to live with her children after that time."

Philip Nelson, (b. Nov. 18, 1826 Clarke Co., Virginia; d. Mar. 7, 1891) Massies Mill, Nelson
County, Virginia; "He first appears in the 1860 census living with his father, his first wife and
his two children and two sisters in Lovingston. Shortly after this enumeration, Philip's wife
Emily died on Oct. 5, 1860 leaving him with two children ages 4 and 6. If he were indeed living
with two sisters, they would have to have been Polly, age 24, and Mary, age 22. Polly married in 1867. Philip Nelson appears to have first answered the call to arms in the early part of the Civil
War by joining the Virginia Light Artillery in Capt.. Archibald Graham's Company (Rockbridge
Artillery) with his younger brother Kinloch. He traveld to an army camp near Manassas and enlisted
on 27 July, 1861 for a 12 month period. His muster record shows him present almost continually from July 1861 until he was discharged on August 11, 1862, despite having re-enlisted for a two year period in February 1862, for which he had been paid a $50 bounty. He had also received a 36 day furlough from Gen. Garnet. In any event his discharge came about from furnishing a substitute after which he was discharged and final statements were given. {Reel 302 "Compiled Service Records of
Confederate Soldiers Who Served in organizations From the State of Virginia}. Thus he left the
artillery immediately after the battle of Cedar Mountain and before the campaign which led to Second
Manassas. At about that time the health of his father may have been declining and he would have
found it necessary to attend to the care of his two children and /or his ailing father. As early as 12 July 1863 the court found it necessary to appoint two trustees for Thomas F. Nelson. Since his cause
of death was paralysis, he was likely incapacitated by this point. After he died on 9 April 1864, Philip
was abled to return to the army, this time joining the infantry. The Confederacy had become more
desperate for manpower and the Substitute Law was repealed. The death of his father may have removed his last exemption. There is some speculation that his teacher status may have removed his last exemption. There is some speculation that his teacher status may have earlier have provided him with an exemption, but I have found no evidence of this in the Nelson County Court Order Books. At the time of the death of Philip's father, his children were ages 6 & 8. It is not clear what happened to them, but by the time of the next census they were not living with Philip and his new wife in Nelson County. Since his sisters had also been living with him they may have cared for the two children either in Charlottesville or with other family back in Clarke County. Both at some point back to Clarke County to a home called "Brexton" where each lived out their lives. The daughter, Emily, never married.
At some point, perhaps October 1864, Philip enlisted in the 49th Virginia Company H. Richard
Kleese's Regimental History records that during October, a contingent of recruits collected and
conscripted in the Charlottesville area were assigned to the ranks in camp near Harrisonburg on
October 25th. They were reported to be for the most part good, dependable soldiers. Philip's first
official record with the 49th is October 31st and at that time Philip would have been 37 years old.
Philip served as a private with Company H until he was paroled at Appomattox. Ten months
later at age 39 he married the 34 year old Francis.
The 1870 Census showed him as a farmer with real estate valued at $2, 130 and personal property
worth $345. They had one domestic servant, Maria Parker age 33, a black female. As noted below
at some time he became a teacher.
Obituary-"Mr Nelson left home on Saturday morning, apparently in his usual health, and went over
to Mr. H.W. Massies Mill. After a short time in the mill, he went into Mr. Miller's store just across
the road from the mill, and almost at once he complained of being sick, and becoming greatly
nauseated. He was taken to Mr. Massie's house, Dr. Meeks and Drummond, and Mr. Nelson's
family were summoned at once, and were very soon at this bedside, but despite all efforts he died about 12 o'clock Saturday night, quietly and apparently without pain. For many years Mr. Nelson has been a resident of this county, where he has for the most part been engaged in teaching. He was a graduate of the University of Virginia and a ripe scholar. As a citizen, he always discharged his duties which devolved on him, conscientiously and fearlessly. He had many friends and no enemies. He was a vestryman in the Episcopal Church.
Philip Nelson (1826-1891) and wife: Frances Antoinette (Effinger) Nelson (1831-1907); "when her father died in 1843, she moved to live with her sister Elizabeth at "Blue Rock". Elizabeth had married William Massie's son Thomas J. Massie around the same time. Her oldest and best situated sister was Maria who was married to William Massie of nearby "Pharsalia". Elizabeth was only two years younger than Catherine but about 15 years older than Fannie. William was also now Elizabeth's father-in-law and her sister was her mother-in-law as William was her new husband's father. As it so happened in this complicated tale, Thomas and his father had had a falling out some years before over his lack of frugality.
Thus he was now living with his uncle, Thomas Massie, at the "Blue Rock" farm. William must have had a difficultness to him as he had also become estranged to both of his brothers as well as his son. In fact all
three Massie brothers had become estranged from each other, but more on that is in the Massie story. A very strange family indeed. At the time of the 1860 census both sisters, Thomas J. and Dr. Thomas Massie were all living together. Dr. Massie was 78 and Fannie was 26. They lived at the home enumerated next to that of Henry C. Boyd and
Juliet Ann Massie Boyd. Years later her granddaughter Evelyn Mahone would marry a descendant of the
heirs to "Blue Rock" and they would have their farm on a part of that property. Maria Keller's notes say that they lived at "Snug Dale", Red Hill, but this home may have been lost due to Thomas J. Massie's financial problems. Her granddaughter Evelyn would remember that when she saw her she thought she was fat, but it turned out to be only the many layers of petty coats she would wear. When she died she was living in the home of Evelyn's mother Maria, and Evelyn would have been 9 years old." Daughter of John Ignatius and Catherine Effinger. Their children:
1) Maria Massie Nelson Mahone (1867-1919), wife of Robert Alexander Mahone
(1876-1941) and they had children.
She was well educated and attended a finishing school in Charlottesville, which
may have owned by her aunt or even her half sister. She could speak three
languages. As a young woman she worked as a governess for Nelson relatives
living at "Long Branch," Clark County. There she met and was engaged to a
young man who tragically drowned. She then moved back to Massies Mill to
take up a position teaching in a one room school house. It was then she met
Robert Mahone as one of her students (he was nine years younger than her)
who she would eventually marry. Her correspondence with Robert has been
preserved and transcribed recording her families experiences in Tyro in 1894
while Robert was away at school. She was not a Massie but two of her mother's
sisters had married Massies in Nelson County.
She was born August 25, 1867; died April 2, 1919. She was buried at Jonesboro
County, Virginia. Robert's first wife, Maria, died at age 51 while Robert as still 42 years old.
In less than two years he had been introduced by his children to Ida Via of Albemarle County,
Virginia and married her while she was 26. His first wife Maria Massie Nelson Mahone was
born Aug 25, 1867 in Tyro, Nelson County, Virginia; she died April 2, 1919 in Massies Mill,
Nelson County, Virginia.

THE MAHONE FAMILY
There was a Daniel Mahone born about 1700 in Waterford, Ireland. He came to York County, Virginia,
(not sure when). His son was William Mahone who married a Susanna (unknown); they had several children, one of which was James Mahone; James married Sylvia Metcalf on Feb 1796. They had James M. Mahone who married Sarah Stewart. They lived in James City County, Virginia. James and Sarah had several children, one of which was James Henry Mahone. James Henry Mahone married Elizabeth Anderton, and they lived in James City County, Virginia and also in Portsmouth, Virginia for a number of years. They had several children, one of which was Marcellus Marion Mahone, he married Estelle Blanch Baily. They lived in Henrico, Virginia. They had several children, one of which was my grandfather, Clifford Dewey Mahone who married Mary Virginia (Annie) Anderson. There is also a William Leslie Mahone.
"LATE in the colonial period or during the early years of certain members of the Mahone family left their ancestral home in Ireland to seek a New abode in Virginia. The records of the family during these years are few in number and leave much to conjecture. It would appear, however, that one member of the family settled in Surrey County, another pressed onto Chesterfield County. It was of the first mentioned branch of the family that General William Mahone was a descendant. Biography of General William Mahone to whom out family can trace no connection, but it points out one interesting omission, out branch which settled about the same in the Middle Peninsula area of Virginia. In the very early years a Major Mahone (Major was his name not his title), is the only Mahone mentioned in the real estate tax records. He owned 108 acres in James City County, Virginia, when he died in 1805 the names of his presumed sons, Major Willis and Daniel, first began to appear. Major Willis Mahone inherited 59 acres, because he may have been the
older of the two, and Daniel inherited 49 acres, when he was almost 19 years old. That land was 9 miles northeast of the then courthouse. Mrs. Shepp stated that Mahones still live there. The following is quoted from, "James City County: Keystone to the commonwealth", page 260, by Martha W. McCartney.
"To the east pf the Taylor farm-was that of Major W. Mahone, who by the 1790's owned acreage on the northeast side of State Road. The buildings on the Mahone propery were worth $50. In 1840 then owner
William Spencer Mahone built a new home, the story-an-a-half dwelling that later became known as Foster's (sold in 1841 to Francis's Foster) in the heart of Norge. Foster died within a year. Current address is 101
Peninsula Street, Norge, Virginia, and is now the Bradshaw home." See also the James City Land Tax Lists 1776-1843. Even earlier data showed in Virginia Will Records, page 526, Notes from the Records of York
County, that in a Will proved on 21 March 1757, that a Legacy was left to William and Elizabeth Mahone. The 1790 Census listed two William Mahones in Warwick county which would have been east of James City and York County. Their connection if any to Major Mahone is not established. He would likely be the ancestor of General William Mahone of Civil War fame and later Governor of Virginia. William Mahone could also be Major Mahone's father and Major named one of his sons after him, but this assumption would appear to contradict one other source which says that Daniel and Major Willis were born in England in the very late 1700's, but evidence of this place of birth is this. It may also be noted from the name above another apparent descendant picks up the William name as well. The only Mahone listed in the list of Emigrants to America series is a James Mahone who was a servant belonging to Complete Henry Quintyne, Esqr, who came over
on a Barq Plantacon of Plantation bound for Carolina under the command of Aser Sharpe. This was dated
August 9-14, 1679 or 128 years before the birth of John Buffin Mahone. Source: "Complete Books of Emigrants 1661-1699 page 341 and List of Emigrants to America 1600-1700, page 390".
"Gale Hill" was built in two phases: the old parts of the house by James Minor (1745-1791) and Mary Carr
Minor (1756-1797) in 1775, the newer, larger portion in 1857 by William W. Minor (1812-1887) and Mary Waters Terrell Minor (1814-1894). After the deaths of James and Mary Minor, the estate was
inherited by their son, Dabney Minor (1774-1824), but he sold the place to his brother, Dr. John Minor
(1791-1849), and moved to Carrsbrook. Dr. John Minor was childless and left Gale Hill to Dabney Minor's son, William W. Minor, who son John Minor (1849-1956), was the owner of Gale Hill when it burned down in 1930. After the destruction of Gale Hill, Margaret Caskie sold the property and moved with her. Six children to Washington Street (now Avenue) in Charlottesville. Her father, John Minor, was one of fifteen children and the numerous relations, were so distraught over the loss of the old family home that many of them whole down their memories and recorded legends about the old place. These documents are extensive and quite interesting, including anecdotes, descriptions, songs, and memories of family customs and personalities. Gale Hill is included in this collection because it was also cherished by the Trices and was home to Lucy Lee Trice Minor. Her mother, Lucy Jane Minor Trice, was the half-sister of William W.
Minor and -often visited at Gale Hill. The Gale Hill people were famed for their fine gardens. The ground was terraced, was well cared for, and produced a great variety and abundance of vegetables and berries. There were some few fruit trees and grape vines there,too, but the real orchard and vineyard had plenty of fruit... The Gale Hill people were fond of games: tennis, croquet, cards, and the late days, the gentlemen
played golf. They were also lovers of music, both vocal and instrumental, and several of the family had good
voices... Uncle John loved his garden and was an excellent gardener, doing a little hoeing and gathering the
vegetables for the table himself early every morning. The tenants attended to the dairy and I think to the fowls, too. The Gale Hill, people raised corn and wheat and in my mother's youth tobacco for sale. The garden and dairy and poultry were for family use. All laundry work was done by colored women in the neighborhood at their homes." Jane Bell Dabney Jones, John Minor's niece, born 1877.
There were two main building phases, the first in 1775 or 1776 produced the one and a half story section on the left, the second in 1857 produced the larger, two-story section on the right.
"...If only you were here-Jack-to enjoy with me-the delights. Of this dear old place-and this beautiful, beautiful country...I enjoyed the walk through the woods and across the field so much. The Sun was low
enough to send its rays slanting through the trees-and piercing under the leaves-and under my hat-but I did not mind that a bit. You know I am devoted to the country-and the sights and sound's of the country are
delightful to me. I always thought this a lovely country-and Gale Hill a sweet old place-but certainly that afternoon it was looking its best. The mountains so blue and the fleshly plowed fields so red-with their slender bands of green, young corn in regular rows. Then the wind blowing over the wheat fields-looked like the ripples on the water. The house had been freshly painted, outside-and in, and every room and hall freshly papered. The house is painted a two-shades of grey-the old fence around the yeard has been taken away-the old "office" in the yard taken down-and carted away-so the whole place away-so the whole place is thrown into one-which is a great improvement I think..." Susan Colston Minor to John Wilson, June 3, 1891-
There are photographs on the website, when I get a chance I'll will prints them out at the library next time I am there..." Friday Pat and I packed our trip sack and took the train for Gale Hill. Mary and Sally met us-and we drove over, while they walked, we found cousin Mary waiting for us on the verandah-as bright and well as possible. Lucy and at home too-and soon came in bringing her little Margaret. Then, Mary, who was not to be out done in that matter-went upstairs after her young tyrant-Price Gwinn, Jr. The most splendid baby you ever saw. After that-the morning was spent admiring, entertaining, and abasing ourselves before
these two royal personages. It was really ridiculous..." "...In the afternoon late, Sally and I went out to walk on the hill, The Sun was down-and there was only the glow in the sky. The air was as soft and balmy as early spring- and though the darkness crept up the hill, the light still lingered on the top and then the moon rose and we watched, and ride up over the mountains-and the shadows ran up to our very feet. The glory died out of the west slowly, like the light out of the west slowly, like the light out of a dying face-and as the day died, we hurried and went home. As we came up to the House, the bright dancing light from the wood fire streamed out across the verandah-through the French windows, and we were more cheerful immediately-and ran up steps, expecting to find all the others sitting in the parlor, but they were still Hero-worshipping-so Sally and I had a little delicious chat in the fire light.-sitting in those chains of Marie Antoinette-and she went out after a little while, leaving me alone, I fell intto a dream-with my eyes open-looking into the fire-and wondering what scenes those same little chairs had graced-and could almost see the gracious ladies and courteous gentlement who had probably occupied them..." On the website there a photo of mammy patty and Margaret Lee Minor in the Gale Hill Parlor, ca. 1897." "...We got the guitar and they all assembled and we had some rousing songs-until supper after which, we adjoined to the sitting room-where we talked and worked on some things for Christmas until quite late. We had to come back to Charlottesville the next day-much to our sorrow-but it was altogether a delightful visit and we enjoyed ourselves ever so much..." Susan Colston Minor, to John Wilson, December 4, 1892. Gale Hill, on May 21, 1930 burned to the ground on April 12, 1930. The blaze either started as a chimney fire in the kitchen or resulted from the efforts of a servant to burn off a wasp's nest on the outside of the house. The fire occurred just over two months, after the death of Margaret Lee Minor Caskie's husband. This collection focuses on the family of Robert Nelson Trice (1815 or 16-1864) and Lucy Jane Minor Trice (1822-1876), which includes five children who survived infancy. There were Mary Jane Trice (1850-1864), Margaret Thurston Trice (1853-1880), Lucy Lee Trice (1857-1897), and
Dabney Minor Trice (1860-1915). This family lived in Albemarle County, Virginia and in Charlottesville, where they enjoyed the society of a very large number of friends, most of whom were relatives. The writings presented here were almost entirely gleaned from the collected papers of those friends and relatives as most of the Trice family documents were probably lost when Gale Hill burned in 1930. The families most often cited in written records of the Trice family were the Minors, Davises, and Cockes. The first two families most often cited on written records of the Trice family were the Minors, Davises, and Cockes. The
first two families were close friends and eventually married into the family. A thumbnail sketch of the Minor family history and connections goes like this:
Dabney Minor (1774-1824) of Gale Hill, Albemarle County, was twice married, first to Sarah Eliza Johnston, who died in 1868. His second wife was Martha Jefferson Terrell (1793-1860), the great niece of Thomas Jefferson. Dabney Minor's first marriage produced five children, including William W. Minor of Gale Hill, who married Mary Waters Terrell. The second marriage peoduced two children, including Lucy Jane Minor, who married Robert Neldon Trice. This explains the closeness of the Trices and Gale Hill Minors. This closeness was greatly increased when Lucy Lee Trice married John Minor, her half first cousin. Their only child was Margaret Lee Minor Caskie. The Cocke family lived at "Red Hill" on Fluvanna County, Virginia, not far from the Trice Family home at "Machunk". The Cockes attended for many years Grace Episcopal Church in Cismont, Virginia, which was also attended by the Trices during the 1870's and 1880's. The eleven children born at "Red Hills" between 1851 and 1873 were close friends of the Trices and two of
them, Rowena Glowing and Annie Waller ("Aunt Waller") would marry Dabney Minor Trice. Aunt Waller died in 1958 and is still fondly remembered. Another family that was intimately connected to the Trices was the Davis family of Albemarle County, Virginia. Dabney Minor's second wife. Martha Jefferson Terrell (1803-1879). She married John A.G. Davis and had seven children before her husband was murdered on the lawn at the University of Virginia in 1840. These Davis children would play a vital role in the lives of the Trices. After the deaths of Lucy and Robert N. Trice, the Trice children were looked after by their old Davis cousins, and Lucy Lee Trice toured Europe in 1884 with the youngest of them, Lucy Minor Davis. Most of our knowledge of the Trices comes from letters presented by the Davises and donated to the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia.

Meindort Doodes was a Dutch Sea Captain who settled in Virginia. He was born about 1617 in the Netherlands; died 1677 in Virginia; spouse: Mary (Garrett or Garet) who died January 09, 1686/87.
Their son:
1. Doodes Minor, born about 1641 in Virginia; died about 1695 in Virginia; the story given for the surname change says that in those days the term Junior for a son named after his father was not used. Instead the terms Major and Minor were used. This is an interesting explanation for the change in surnames.
Both Meindort Doodes and Doodes Minor were naturalized in Court Papers.

Sackville or Sackfield M'Hone/Mahone/McHone was born about c.1708 in New Kent County, Virginia;
died 1756 in Halifax, Virginia; wife: Mary McHone with his two sons:
1) Major Mahone, is the line I am descended from!
2).His son, Archibald Mahone supposedly missed out on his Revolutionary War pension because he switched the spelling sometimes 'Mahone' and sometimes 'McHone'. This information has been found in the "Vestry Book of Blisland Parish, in New Kent County, and James City Counties 1721-1786" Mahone (M'Hone)
Sackville, pages 149, 156,161,165,67,171, 174, 177. This Vestry book translation available online.
"Someone had uncovered an account in the" Vestry Book of Blisland Parish (1721-1786)" that shows the orphan sons of Sackfield were in foster care in Virginia for at least three years. The Book lists who received
payment tobacco of exchange for raising the boys. A Vestry book online suggests Sackville M'hone died in 1759, and Archibald would have been 14. He was raised-perhaps in a poorhouse-until he was 21. His
younger brother left two years after him in 1768. Archilus or Archelaus or Archibald Mahone was born about 1744 or 1745, married in 1786 to Magdalena or Magdelina Bridgeman. He died Jan 6, 1842 leaving a number of descendants. In September 1843, his widow was residing in Stokes County, North Carolina
across the state line from Patrick County, Virginia."

3. John Buffin 3 Mahone, born in James City County, Virginia. Personal Property Tax Lists show him first in 1830, with one slave. He mentioned each year thereafter through 1836. Along with him were listed the following: Major W. Mahone, William Spencer Mahone (evidently Major W. Mahone's son since he inherited Fosters) and George H. Mahone. In 1832 there is listed a Daniel H. (I.M. Shepp's line) and a Walker R. Mahone. They were either brothers or half brothers. John appears to have moved with his father and siblings to York County, Virginia, between 1820 and 1830 when they start to appear in the York County Census in 1830 where he is shown on his own with the age of 5. By 1850 census, John B. Mahone, age 42, born in Virginia, Cornelius W. Mahone, age 7, born in Virginia and Alexander, age 1-1/2 born in Virginia, living nearby with another family is a James Mahone. The Census 1860 Census shows only his wife, so he apparently died in the meantime, while his two oldest sons moved on to Nelson County, Virginia. Occupation: between 1830-1836, farmer in James City County, Virginia; Residence: 1837, Williamsburg, Virginia; Susanna Matilda Walls- a Susan Mahone was listed in 1870 Williamsburg Virginia, Census (Aug 1, 1870) She was shown as age 60 (b. 1810) (but based on the birthday 150 census she was born in 1808 and Indiana Shepp says she was born in 1804), but had been reduced to a domestic servant with no property. She lived with the family of Alexander Clowers,
who was age 25, married with two small children and an 86 year old mother-in-law. By 1880, Susan
was living with Alexander's family in Nelson County, Virginia (Film # 280D) and was shown as being
71. This would mean she now thought to have been born 1808/09.

Since neither they were all
living in the same house, it may have been considered just convenient for them to be married
even though he was 22 years older than she was. It was eventually from his situation that s chose to finally be separated in death when she was buried at Jonesboro Cemetery rather than with them. Additional photographs and biographical information is available on ancestry.com

"The Regimental History of the 32nd Virginia Infantry Company contains info on C. Walter Mahone: enlisted as a private in 32nd Virginia Infantry Company C on 4/28/1861 at Williamsburg, Virginia. He was present at the rolls until June 30,1862 except when he was sick during January and February, 1862. His status from July 1-September 25 is unclear, but on 9/25/1862 he was admitted to hospital in Richmond. Discharged for disability on or about October 8, 1862. The Battle of Williamsburg had been fought on May 5, 1862 prior to the Seven Days Battle which may have made record keeping more difficult during that period. Thereafter he headed
west to Nelson County where he was a farmer in 1870 and also ran a general store with his younger
brother, Alexander. Williamsburg, Virginia was occupied by Federal troops during the war and as a
discharged confederate soldier it would not have been safe for him there. The following article was in the local paper in Nelson County, Virginia at the time of Walter's death. Some two or three weeks before his death he was slightly wounded in his left hand by a piece of glass. Soon after, as he was chinking a tobacco house, he felt a sensation in his left arm as if detached bones were rattling there. He spent for Dr. Lemmon, who told him that Lockjaw was imminent and advised amputation of the hand. To this he declared to submit. Mortification set in and progressed until the flesh of the arm fell away from the bones.
Death came then and end his suffering. He was well known and respected.

There was a Margaret Mahone born in 1836 who was living with family of William Bailey in 1850 who would be the correct age. Along with her was Able Mahone age 7 that would have been born between the 1840 and 1850 census.

Taken an a whole, it represents a cross-section of pioneer Georgia families. Althought the earliest Georgia settlers were brought in by General Oglethorpe in 1733, the majority of the settlers- from Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas, arrived after the Revolution, taking up bounty grants, joining in the land lotteries, and settling land surrendered in the Indian Treaties. While this work deals with some of Oglethorpe's settlers, the vast majority of the genealogies deal with Georgians who descend from settlers from other states."

"The above excerpted transcript is just as it appears in the Will of Jesse Redd of Goochland..Unless otherwise indicated, we can perhaps venture that all of the aforementioned male individuals who lived with Jesse carried the last name of Redd and of those females who chose for one reason or another to still carry the name Redd. William Redd came to Shelby County, Tennessee (or perhaps Fayette County at first). Some of the blacks came with him. "- J. Lloyd Redd
"The Redds of 'Cedar Vale' ", and "A History of Caroline County, Virginia" by Marshall Wingfield
"The Redd surname is derived from the Old English word "read", meaning "red". It is most likely that the name was used as nickname for someone with red hair, before becoming their surname. In other instances, the Redd surname no doubt came from some of the places, is named in Britain, such as Read, Lancashire, Rede, Suffolk, and Reed in Hertfordshire. Farst found in Northumberland where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the corpus rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects".
The Great Migration
"The New World beckoned as many of the settlers in Ireland, known as the Scotch/Irish, became disenchanted. They sailed ships known as the "white sails" which piled the stormy Atlantic.

"The children carried on their father's spirit of adventure and humor. Chores for the young boys included
cutting firewood. The older brothers liked to show off by climbing high into the saplings and swaying back and fourth until the tree would bend over and let them ride to the ground. One day the youngest brother was testing his skills, which took longer because he wasn't heavy enough to bend the tree, and the older brothers decided to chop him down. Henry, the most efficient with an axe, cut the tree and Withers fell so hard it
knocked him out. They carried him home and he lay in bed unconscious for three days. Soon after his
recovery they were at it again. This time Robert climbed the tree, but when he saw Henry start to swing the axe, all he could think about was Withers lying on the ground. He slid down the tree with such speed, Henry
could not stop his swing and he sunk the axe into Robert's foot, nearly cutting it off. As they got older they
calmed down, but never stopped teasing each other or lost their sense of adventure. Three of the children moved away as far a Texas. Though separated by miles as adults, they retained that sense of closeness
developed as children, each separated by 1 1/2 to 2 years in age." Submitted by Susan Richardson

"All that is known of the Whitehead family of Amherst County prior to 1760 is more or less traditional. This is due in a large measure to the fact that the records of New Kent County were destroyed during the war between the states. It is certain that the family were early settlers in the colony and had interest there as early as 1622 for in that year William Whitehead of London, bequeathed a sum of money to establish a school in Virginia. Only one Whitehead is mentioned by Philip A. Bruce, viz, Thomas Whitehead, whose will is of record year 1660. "The Virginia Heraldrica" Volume V, mentions Richard Whitehead, of Gloucester County, to whom was granted a tract of 5,000 acres of land in October 24, 1673. The Coat of Arms of this family are those of Whitehead, Lancashire, England. His son, Philip Whitehead was a member of the House of Burgesses for King William County in 1726. One account of the settlement in Virginia in company with the Spotswoods and Fitzhughs about the time that Spotswood was governor. Another account, and perhaps the most reliable, is not during the reign of Charles II, a grant of land was made to three brothers in eastern Virginia between Jamestown and York River. One of these was John Whitehead, and that John Whitehead, of Amherst, as well as all the family, of that name in Virginia." He would be my ancestor, sixth great-grandfather, are descended from him.
John Whitehead, son of John Burcher & Pency (Camden) Whitehead, born in Amherst Co., VA in 1789. He married Feb. 24, 1812 Anna Mahoney, a woman of vigorous and strong personality. She was an Irish women, the daughter of Dennis Mahoney, who participated in Emmett's Rebellion; escaped to America on its collapse and settled in Amherst County.
John Whitehead was a man of importance in Amherst Co., filling many positions of honor and trust, among them being that of high sheriff of the county for a number of terms. He engaged in business as a merchant and tobacconist for several years. Later he accepted a position of teller of the Bank of America, moved to Lynchburg, and at the time of his death was a resident of that city. H was a man of deep piety and devoted to church work; there is a tablet to his memory in the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church of Lynchburg, of which he was a member. He married February 24, 1812, Anna Mahoney. Their children:
i. Edwin James Lawrence Whitehead (1813-1815) died very young child.
ii. Robert Frederick.Whitehead, born August 06, 1815; died November 28, 1898, Forkland, Lovington, Nelson County, Virginia, he practiced law briefly in Lynchburg, then relocated in Lovingston, Virginia.
Until 1846 he was in partnership with Congressman James Garland. His office (later that of his son and grandsons) was in the small brick building which faces the Nelson County Courthouse. Robert F. was appointed Attorney for the Commonwealth in 1845 and held that position until Reconstruction when he refused to take the Ironclad Oath. He resumed office in 1874 and served until 1892. In the 1870s he wrote for local newspapers articles published over the nom de plume of "An Idle Attorney."
His subject matter included many notables of the Nelson County bar and bench.
Robert F.Whitehead was noted for his honesty. In the Nelson County Courthouse under his portrait
is the quotation of a colleague: "There stands Bob Whitehead with his hands in his pockets. He never had them in anyone's else's." Robert F., Nelson County, who was a striking figure and commanding personality in his day; as a lawyer he was without a superior at the bar; was a forceful speaker,being endowed with a splendid mind and possessing a profound and accurate knowledge of the law; stood in the very front rank of his profession, never aspired to office, but was elected commonwealth attorney of Nelson County, and held that position for nearly forty years until his advancing years made it necessary for him to declined re-election; died at the ripe old age of 85, honored and mourned by a host of friends; married in 1838 in Lynchburg, Virginia, first Lucy Baylor Gwalthney (1817-1854), by whom he had seven children, she died of tuberculosis, and they lived in Lovingston, Virginia. In Winchester, Virginia, 1856, he married (2) Margaret Daniel Baldwin (1825-1900), daughter of Dr. Archibald Stuart Baldwin and wife Kitty Macky, and they had six children.
Margaret Daniel Baldwin was born 1 September 18, 1825; died January 6, 1900; she is the second wife of Robert Frederick Whitehead, I, (1815-1898). Burial place: Trinity Episcopal Church, in Arrington, Nelson County, Virginia.Children by (1) Lucy Baylor Gwalthmey Whitehead:

William Massie and wife Laura Williams Effinger of Tyro, Virginia.
S.B. as he always signed his name, attended the brick school house in Lovingston (later
location of Mrs. Turner's "Dew Drop Inn", north of the former Presbyterian church). His
grandfather John Whitehead II has been one of the purchasers of the lot for a community
school in 1828. (Nelson Deed Book 6, p.361) Years of depression followed the Civil War. His
father was unable to send him to college. He followed in his father's footsteps by reading law
under the tutetage of local attorneys and when Bennett T. Gordon was elevated to the position
of Circuit Court Judge. His office, which his father and later his sons shared, faced the
Courthouse. He rode his horse (one named "June") from his home, "Edge Hill", some two
miles south of Lovington to the office accomplished by his collie dog, "Dandy". "June" was hitched to a post in the alley behind the office building. S.B. never learned to drive an
automobile. He relied on one of his five sons to chauffeur him. He was a serious-minded man
with a clipped German mustache and an abrupt manner, much in contrast to the fun-loving woman whom he married. On the mountain slopes of "Edge Hill" S.B. planted apple orchards which were maintained until the 1940s. He died at his home on 2 June 1933 of complications
following a stroke. For many years, S.B. was a vestryman of Trinity Episcopal Church where
he and many members of his family are buried. His portrait hangs in the Nelson County
Courthouse with those of his father Robert Whitehead 1815-1898 and grandson Robert Whitehead
(1897-1960).

Noted for his ability as an orator and debater he was dubbed, "the Patrick Henry of his generation." He had a keen sense of humor and did not hold a grudge. After his resignation, as Commonwealth's Attorney, people who he'd prosecuted hired him as their lawyer, not holding it against him, saying "He was only doing his job." Robert married on 16 June 1923 at Jonesboro Baptist Church, to Sallie Carter ( Apr.25,1904- Jun 10,1952), daughter of Thomas James Carter (1870-1963) and Lucy Maria Armstrong Ballard (1882-1946) of Bryant, Virginia. As a seven- year old, Sallie told Robert that when he became a lawyer she was going to marry him. Ten years later they met again, romance blossomed, and they were married. Robert said he should have been a Presbyterian and believed in predestination!

Snickersville and Snickersville Gap were named after her relative Edward Snickers. Mrs. Thomas graduated from Mary Baldwin College, Staunton. She served on the first Thomas Balch Library Advisory Board and on a committee for Winchester Handley Library. In 1998 she received a Loudon History Award for her work in preserving Loudoun County's heritage. Although Mrs.Thomas has been involved in genealogical and local history for over thirty years, in the early 1990s she begin systematically collecting information for the book she intended to write, which she completed in 2004. "The Story of Round Hill", published from the findings of this collection, traces Round Hill from early America's first land grants to today's development landscape. This book chronicles in detail changes in the town's residents, businesses, government, houses, and customs, a product of the research contained in these folders.

Major Thomas Whitehead, was born near Lovingston, Nelson County, Virginia, December 27, 1825.
From an early age he evinced those traits of character and disposition that made him through so many years one of the most conspicuous and prominent figures in Virginia History and Virginia Politics. Possessing a keen and brilliant intellect and a masterly command of varied knowledge, he was able to shine in any circle in which he was placed and to command of varied knowledge, he was able to shine in any circle in which he was placed and to command the attention and admiration of all with whom he came in contact. Not only was Major Whitehead abundantly endowed was unusual intellectual ability, but along with it he had a kindly, charitable heart that made him lenient to the faults of others and sincere in all relations with his fellow men.

While still a mere boy he began his active business life by entering a mercantile and tobacco house, where he remained until he had almost attained his manhood. He then became deputy sheriff of Amherst County, Virginia, Lynchburg and Nelson, and was rapidly winning his way to the front rank, when the War Between the States broke out. Filled with the ardent patriotism of a true southerner, Major Whitehead at once proffered is services, and throughout the desperate struggle stood firmly by the cause which he loved, and contributed in many ways to the lasting glory of the Confederate Arms. He entered the military service in April, 1861, receiving a commission as Lieutenant of Cavalry. He was reassigned to the Thirtieth Regiment of Virginia Volunteers, which later in the year was enrolled as the Second Virginia Cavalry Regiment. At the reorganization 1862 he was unanimously elected Captain of company E of this command, and with this rank he served until wounded severely at Trevillian Station, June 11, 1864. On account of his resulting disability he was assigned duty on the board of inquiry at Charlottesville where he served until the evacuation of Richmond in the meantime receiving his commission as Major.

After this arduous service with the Cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia, he was paroled at Amherst Courthouse, where he resumed the practice of his profession. He had been elected in March, 1865, to the Virginia senate, but under the changed conditions could not take his seat. In 1866 he was elected Commonwealth Attorney for this County, but was removed by the military authority after about one year's service. In 1869, being again elected, she served his term. In 1872 he was the Democratic Candidate for Congress and was elected by a large majority.
In his term of service in Congress he served his constituency with marked fidelity and ability and was particularly noted for uprightness of conduct and the strict probity of his convictions in all things political.
Major Whitehead was a Democrat of the most uncompromising type, and in numberless Campaigns stumped the state in the interests of its nominees.
He was a vigorous, forceful speaking, and the most eloquent and able orators dreaded to meet him. Some of his meetings with men of state and national reputation are historical. At various times he stumped the state almost from end to end for the Democratic nominees and even in his latter years was willing to undergo almost any fatigue to insure their triumph.
While pursuing his profession as a lawyer, Major Whitehead invaded the newspaper field, and also established his reputation for ability as an editor. His first venture was the "Amherst Enterprise", which he conducted until he removed to Lynchburg in 1876 and took charge of the "News".
Subsequently he established the "Lynchburg Advanced" and "Whitehead's Democrat". In 1887 he was elected Commissioner of Agriculture succeeding Colonel Randolph Harrison. At that time the power to fill that position was vested in the legislature, and although he entered the field late, he was elected almost unanimously, the members of the legislature recognizing his signal services to the party and his eminent fitness for the position. Soon after the election the appointative power was placed in the hands of the governor, and he was successively reappointative power was placed in the hands of the governor, and he was successively reappointed by Governors Lee, McKinney and O'Farrell, serving twelve years in all. Never was there a more suitable appointment than the selection of Major Whitehead to be Commissioner of Agriculture. Farming was to him a source of ceaseless pleasure, and he was daily engaged in experiments of which he gave the Virginia Farmers the benefit through regular reports to the governor and Board of Agriculture. With a bright and honorable record Major Whitehead left a name that will be stamped upon the annals of Virginia's political history, and in the years to come he will be remembered as one of the old school, a Virginia gentlemen and an honest man. Despite the crowded cares and duties of his official life, Major Whitehead devoted time and labor to the cause of religion, and was at all times an earnest and zealous worker in the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which faith he received the last summons, July 4, 1901. The Rev. W. J. Young in his address at the funeral of Major Whitehead said of him:
"His public career was entirely free from criticism, and we have lost not only a devoted church member, but a citizen honored and honorable, true to every trust. His last hour was one of quietness and peace. He was not afraid to die, not afraid on the field of battle, in political life, in the church or in private life; he never shrank from duty; and he met death without a tremor."
Major Whitehead was twice married. His first wife was Mary Kincaide Irving, the daughter of Hon. Joseph K. Irving. She lived less than a year. By this marriage there was no issue. On June 15, 1854, he married Martha Henry Garland, daughter of Hon. Samuel M. Garland, of Amherst, at that time and for many years thereafter the foremost citizen of the county thereafter the foremost citizen of the county having represented the county in many capacities, among them being a member of the secession convention. Mrs. Whitehead was a woman of many gifts, being a forceful and fluent writer. She was a true helpmate, rendering her husband valuable assistance in all his work. Martha Henry Garland, b.

"Whitehead, Borrower Accused Land Bank of Discrimination"
Irving P. Whitehead, director of the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore, investigated the J.A.
Midkoff case through the Patrick County National Farm Loan Association, and sent his findings to
Senator E.E. Jones, Federal Farm Loan Board member. J.A. Midkoff accused the Federal Land of
Baltimore of discrimination against loan applicants based on their political affiliation. In addition,
Midkoff directed the Federal Farm Loan Board to two cases of supposed loaner Fraud within
Patrick County. However, when Whitehead asked Midkoff to meet in person, he never appeared,
and Whitehead found no evidence to support Midkoff;s claim of borrower dishonesty. Whitehead
concluded that Midkoff's claims were nonsense."
Date: April 2, 1924.

"Report of pursuit of Union Army by Radford's Virginia Rangers after First Manassas, July 22,
1861
"SIR: On the morning of the 22nd Instant I was ordered by General Longstreet to accompany Colonel Terry, of Texas, and pursue the enemy, and find out their exact position. On reaching Centreville we
found the main body had fled, and we pursued the stragglers, taking twenty-five or thirty prisoners on the route to Fairfax court-house, where Colonel Terry shot down the United States flag and placed the stars and bars on the top of the court-house. The large flag sent back by him was intended, we learned, to put up at Manassas. Another was taken from the court-house, and the third one, to which you probably refer, was taken from some soldier by Private R.L. Davies, of my company, wh.o had taken it in a haversack- no doubt to be raised on the first captured battery taken. It had no staff, but was carefully wrapped in the haversack.

From the Juneau Empire.com Jul 19, 2013 obituary:
Stuart Mark Whitehead (1940-2012), "lifetime Juneau resident Stuart Mark Whitehead, 72, died September 11, 2012, in Marysville, Washington, from complications related to Lung Cancer. Born February 26, 1940
to Southeast Alaska pioneers. Dr. William Massie Whitehead and Dorothy Johnson Whitehead, Stuart was the only son among five Whitehead children. He graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School in 1958, and from the University of North Dakota in 1963 with a degree in business administration. During his high school years he played center on the basketball team. At six feet four he was built for the position and typically was the high scorer. Along with Andy Rekovich, David Gray, Willie Petaja, Don Nowacki and others, the team beat Anchorage's West High School during Stuart's senior year to take the state championship, though Alaska was then still a territory. Captain of the team and its highest scorer in 1957 and 1958, Stuart was chosen by teammates as the most valuable player. Stuart was active in the church of the Holy Trinity's St. Vincent's Guild, a confraternity of boys of the parish who assisted the priest in the conduct of public assisted the priest in the conduct of public worship and the celebration of communion other acolytes participating in the guild during the 1950s, with whom he became friends, were Sam, David, and Steve McPhetres, Mike Blackwell, Mike & Roger Grummett, and Dick Reynolds.
He served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War aboard the USS Tortuga (LSD-26), a landing ship operating in support of Marine Corps amphibious combat operations along the China Sea Coast. When he was discharged in 1965 he immediately returned to Juneau and entered the world of retail sales, becoming a partner in the Super Rexall Stores, and later the owner of a Hallmark shop, after which he retired to Whidbey Island, Washington, where he lived until his death. In 1967 he married Nellie Fowler Shattuck and adopted her three sons: Gerald, Rodney and Keith. Their own son, William Massie Whitehead, II, was born in 1968. Later, Stuart married Tina Gregory Turner, and they lived on the Lena Beach site of the Whitehead
family cabin, which Stuart had remodeled into a two-story log home. This was his favority place: the home, the beach, the views across the channel, the fragrance of flowers and vegetables he grew, the yard where as a child he had played croquet and badminton with siblings and friends, the honeysuckle that climbed the chimney, the lilac bushes, and the currant and gooseberry bushes his father had planted, from which his family picked berries and made jam. He loved to fish and to dig clams. The outdoors enthralled him. His
appreciation of nature was strong, invigorating, and enduring. Stuart loved life, always cheerful, even as a small boy, he and his older sister Page, and Sue and Mike Wade, who lived across the street from the Whitehead family home at 6th Street and Harris (now the Juneau International Youth Hostel), would whoop and holler in the basement as they played cowboys and cowgirls. He relished friendships and social gatherings. As he grew, the swings in the basement were replaced by a ping pong table and then a pool
table. After school activities were organized and parties took place. Generous to a fault, he was always, as an adult, a host who enjoyed cooking and entertaining, which he did with a flourish. During his retirement years on Whidley Island, Stuart became house bound due to problems associated with leg fractures. He
continued to plant flowers and vegetables in his yard and to welcome family and friends. He was able to make one last trip back to Juneau-in-2008-to-celebrate with classmates the 50th anniversary of their high
school graduation. In addition to family, these were the folks who had been closet to him. During hid final illness, they visited and called, sent cards, and kept his spirit high. "Guess who called today?" he could say with a smile in his voice, "Isn't that wonderful?" Stuart was predeceased by his parents, his wife, Tina, and his sister, Sue Ellen Whitehead Woolfolk. Relatives in Alaska, Washington State, and Virginia."

I notice on the old deed from 2 owners back, been in my family for 70 years now, no house but the remains I enjoy looking for with a metal detector, house was cleaned and pushed away years ago per family members memory. I know how hard it is to pinpoint a homestead from years ago with just a deed as they are very vague sometimes. If you are interested more let me know.

Are you the DAR member down in Virginia who has about 24 ancestor pins? Many of them who are also my ancestors. I did my papers on Capt. John & Capt William Loving whose children 1st cousins, Nancy & James married and gave the land upon which the Nelson Court House sits. I enjoyed going through your information. I have lived in N.J. for 63 years but spent my summers at Roseland ,Va. until I cracked my knee and cannot drive the 385 miles. I graduated from Fleetwood in 1941 and Longwood U. in 1945, worked for DuPont in Richmond & they sent me to Wilmington, Delaware in 1948. I am on Facebook.

I am looking for Brenda Ann Whitehead, born 1/14/1960. I found her birth certicate stuck to the bottom of a filing cabinet that i was discarding.
