• Ann Blankenship

Comments

• Ralph Blankenship came to Virginia as an indentured servant in 1686 or 1687 and settled in Henrico Co. On 1 Apr 1690 Mr. Richard Kennon of Henrico Co. came to court and applied for a patent of 8000 acres for importing 90 people and 70 Negroes. He named as headright Ralph Blankenship among others. .(Henrico Co. Record Book 2 [1678-1693], pg 326).
• Some list Martha as Caly but that is unlikly
• Ralph Blankenship deposed on 2 Apr 1695 that he was about thirty-three years of age.
• 9 Jul 1724 Martha got 250 acres on the S side of the James River beginning Henry Walthall's lines to east side of the main road
• Martha gave sons Ralph and John 100A on south side of James at Proctor's Creek where John lives 7 Aug 1727
• Martha married second Edward Stanley will writen 5 Oct 1725 recorded 4 Jul 1726 leaves to Ralph, John, and James Blankenship his 3 plantations at Coldwater Run 230 A
• Martha's maiden name is unknown. Many trees list her as the daughter of of Charles Clay and Hannah Wilson. If so then her second husband Edward Stanley married his step-daughter since his first wife was Hannah Wilson widow of Charles Clay. I see no records to support Martha .being the daughter of Charles Clay and Edward's first wife Hannah Wilson. It seems unlikely he would marry his step-daughter especially as there is no mention of the relationship in any legal record. Also Charles nor Hannah are not names that show up in children, grandchildren.

• Court Case Court Case of William Soane, plaintiff, vs Ralph Blankenship, defendant", 15 Feb 1695 On 1 Feb 1695 William Soane brought suit against Ralph Blankenship for cutting trees on the past year [Nov1694] . Trees were valued at 600 (sic) pounds. William was awarded 100 pounds for Ralph Blankenship not appearing but can appear at next court. In Feb 1695 Daniel Beach appeared two days for William Soane against Ralph Blankenship. On 1 Apr 1696 William Soane stated that the 130a of land was his and he has a deed dated 26 Apr 1695 and that last November Ralph Blankenship did cut and fall several trees valued at 100 pounds. Ralph Blankenship countered that Mr. James Blair gave him authority to enter the land and cut the trees and that Mr Blair should be made a defendant. Enter Mr James Blair into the case. James Blair produced a document dated 21 Apr 1690 stating that he owned the 130 acres of land on Sunken Swamp in Varina Parish. William Soane countered that there was a provision that the land must be seated and planted within three years and that it was not done and Soane got a patent dated 26 Apr 1695 and took possession of the land. Blair countered that the land was marsh land and was excluded from seating and planting per Act of Assy dated 1 Apr 1692 and CASE DISMISSED.

Comments

• Edith married a second time to Gregory Grant. His will lists his children as: William, Thomas, Nancy, Priscilla Yates, Edith.
• Ralph's will Chesterfield Co. VA book 1 page 285 20 Oct 1758 inventory page 313 14 Apr 1759 to my wife Edith for widowhood, and then divided between my sons Gid and Ralph. To Francis Blankinship bed he lies on and items. Rest wife for life and the my 3 sons Gid, Womack, and Ralph. Francis relationship not defined but propably his brother. Frances has noncupative (oral) will dated 20 Oct 1758 and witnessed 7 Apr 1759 is on the same page and gives his items to Womack son of Ralph.
• There is some confusion with the names. Ralph's will refers to Gid and the guardianship record Gideon. Walter Nunnally's will refers to daughter Eve Grant and grandson Gad. Edith married second Gregory Grant will Chesterfield Co. VA book 3 page 313 she is referred to her as Edith as does Ralph's will. From this point forward all references show Gad and I do not see Gideon listed again.
• Who is the Womack Blankenship listed in the noncupative will 7 Apr 1759? Ephraim Blankenship the next of kin.

Comments

• I have found no proof that Sarah was the daughter of John Nunnally since most of the records of Buckingham burned but it is extremely likely baed on the land transfer. The connection is mostly supported through the land and tax records. Gad Blankenship's entry in the land tax records indicate that he was responsible for the land which was John Nunalley's. It is this land that Gad gave to his sons. John started assigning his lands gradually to his sons in 1794 with the bulk of it being spit up in 1799 when Gad received his. I also suspect that John N stands for John Nunnally Blankenship. John almost always used the N even though there were no other John Blankenships in the place that he lived (at least in any records I found) but the name is not spelled out.
• Chesterfield Co. VA, May 1784 Gad listed in will of his grandfather Walter Nunnellee. This is very important as there is a related case in Chesterfield Chancery Court (file 1819-11) which spells out the relationships and identifies the Gad Blankenship of Buckingham as the grandson of Walter Nunalley. It indicates Gad did leave a will filed in July 1802 (executor Thomas Ballow) but this was burned along with the land records of Buckingham Co. The case involved true ownership of some slaves left in both Walter's will and Gad's step-father Gregory Grant's will. Was the son Gad's wife Delilah a Hudgens? She is mentioned as a sister in the will of Mary Hudgins 1 Feb 1835 but not sure if Mary Hudgins is a spinster or this is a married name. The Hudgens do appear in Buckingham Co. from 1787 through at least 1806 (where Gad would have married by 1806) so that makes it at least possible. Harris's are there as well.
• Was Gad of Robertson TN another son? This Gad moved to Roberson County by 1812 purchased 100 A 16 Dec 1814 Robertson County land from John Nichols of Davidson County, TN. Land located on Spring Creek off Sycamore Creek. Thomas Miles and William Hudgens witnessed the purchase. Eventually John N goes to the area.

He also was born when Gad was very young. Also Gad Sr's land is divided 3 ways. One goes to John N, one to Elijah, and one to Gad est which is sold by Gad Jr (I'm adding the Sr & Jr to avoid confusion but the terms do not appear in records) in 1822 while in Robertson to Burton and we see Gad est disappear after the Burton reference to it in 1823. By 1824 we also see all references to John N disappear as he moves to TN where he first appears in 1823. Note in 1805-6 it lists both Sarah and Gad which is probably Gad Jr. as in other references we see either Sarah or Gad est. An Ezekiel had a land deal Chesterfield 1807 17-462

Comments

• William H could be the unnamed son of Gad but it is far more likely he is the named son William of John N. First William H is exactly the same age as John N's son based on when John N's William reached his majority. But we also have DNA support. Cousins who share this line have DNA matches to Tapscott relatives of John N's wife Elizabeth Tapscott. Cousins on the same side of the family but do not descend from William H do not have DNA matches to Tapscotts. William H named his first son Robert which is his brother's name if John N is his father. Also an Elizabeth Blankenship was a member of a Free Will Baptist church in 1826 with men who would latter be connected to William H as an adult and him becoming a Free Will Baptist minister. There is also a strong connection between William H Blankenship the adult and the people connected to the people mentioned in the processing of John N Blankenships's estate. Another clue is William H lives 2 households from John Forbes in 1860 who was the guardian of the William son of John N. John N's census would indicate that William H is too young for the sons listed in the 1830 census but the other dates including John N are wrong too in this census. Its almost like they were off one column so the 1830 census is not compelling. William had a guardian until 1844 the same age William H became 21. Based on all this I think William H is clearly the son of John N and not Gad whose son we never find any record of with a name.
• I think Andrew J and John C are also sons of John N and not Gad but nothing proven. See detail on them below.

Comments

Tennessee -Cheatham

• The marriage date came from a letter written by Juanita Pauline Wright and she refers to a bible record.
• William was a minister of the Bethlehem Free Will Baptist Church north of Ashland City. .It was founded in 1847 by Elder W. L. Gower (in those days, they were apt to use Elder where we use Reverend.). Services originally were held every 3 months in homes with the frequency of service increasing over time. The original church was built around 1857 and is now in private hands on Lockertsville Rd. The center part is the original church with other parts added on over time. William H. Blankenship appears several times in the list, as follows:
• Elders W. L. Gower, William Blankenship 1855-56
• Elder William Blankenship 1856-57
• Elder A. Rose 1857-58
• Elder William Blankenship 1853-60
• Elders William Blankenship, W. L. Gower 1860-61
• Elders W. L. Gower, William Blankenship 1861-62
• Elder William Blankenship 1862-64
• He married several people in this time period including Hudgens and Harris families starting with the first Co. record marriages in 1857 through Mar 1862
• Good Springs Free Baptist Church was also founded by W. L. Gower and eventually Alex Rose was also a paster. This should be checked out to see if there is any connection to William H
• William H was a road overseer from Springfield to Sycamore Mills 185?
• Among the first church organizations of Cheatham was one of the Free-Will Baptists, established on Blue Spring Branch, near Sycamore Mills, by Rev. Robert Heaton. In Robert Heaton's journal, dated Jan 10, 1826, the name of Elizabeth Blankinship is listed among the members of the church at Marrowbone as well as W. L. Gower. I assume this is William's mother Elizabeth. About the same time, Vicks old meeting-house was erected in the Boston Hills, about four miles northeast of what is now Ashland City and Lowe's meeting-house was built about three miles north of Sycamore Mills. In 1835 Braxton Lee conveyed two acres of land, where this old log church still stands, to the following trustees: Gideon H. Lowe, Matthew Harris, Jonas Manafee, Thomas W. Shearon and himself, as a trustee. A part of this land has been and continues to be used as a public cemetery.
• I have been unsuccessful at tracing Fanny's marriage, and where the eldest son moved. Did he move to Nebraska?
• Gilbert is listed in the Marion Monitor 22 Feb 1876 as guardian of John Chamness's two children.
• A family story says he left TN during the Civil War because he was against slavery and was told by a neighbor that someone was coming to kill him that night. They fled. They stopped at one set of grandparents when they left. While they were sitting on the hill they could feel the cannon firing.
• W. H. signed a bond for A Rose along with Elizabeth S. Cochran (wife of John Cochran) in 1 Aug 1859 Cheatham Co. TN. Is A. Rose Alexander Rose b. 1801? He also bought several items during the estate sale in 1861.

Illinois

• William's church in IL was Free Baptist Church at Freewill. He was named as pastor of a Free Will Baptist Church in his obituary when died in Cottage Home. This predates the church built by his son-in-law T.O. McMinn.
• Mahala's parents are Thomas and Rhoda
• Bascum suffered from Epilepsy
• One of the brothers left the area - was this the eldest?
• Luanna and Georgeanne were close - Luanna told the story of Georgeanne being called to testify at church meeting and her answer was “N0 - I feel cold tonight.” (They had young men waiting to take them for a buggy ride). Luanna was quite elegant and her son was a milliner and clothes designer from St. Louis.
• Fanny married in 1925-27 a third time and was living in Marion when she married. She said she had taken care of Georgeanne's children when she died and John B. got on a stump and started preaching. She knew he would become a preacher.
• I assume that WJR is the the eldest son although one census has the initials reversed. The marriage records are under WJR.

Colclough Family Tree

Colclough Name Meaning: English: habitational name from Cowclough in the parish of Whitworth, Lancashire, recorded in the 13th century as Colleclogh, probably named with the Old English byname Cola (see Cole 2) + Old English cloh ‘ravine’.

• He served his first term as bailiff of Newcastle in 1377, and on at least four occasions over the next ten years he went surety for his successors in office. At some point before October 1379 he took on the lease of additional holdings in Wolstanton, where he appears to have been farming his father’s property as well..

Comments

• It appears that John and brothers Thomas and George Colclough became involved with Virginia trade in the early 1650s, in the wake of the execution of King Charles I and the Rump Parliament's October 1650 Act for Prohibiting Trade with the Barbadoes, Virginia, Bermuda and Antigua, which was intended to suppress royalist support for the pretender to the throne, the future King Charles II. This act of Parliament authorized ships to "surprise" and seize ships that "traffick with the rebels," providing for the fate of the seized ships to be decided at Admiralty courts.Thomas is repeatedly refered to as a Lonon merchant

• John Colclough b. 1665
• Charles Colclough m. Hannah Chapman
• Benjamin Colclough

Comments

• In 1654 John Colclough was the master or owner of a vessel which traded regularly with Virginia. (18 V. 47-48).
• The restoration of of the monarchy in England in 1660 presumably put an end to the Colclough brothers' involvement in pursuing royalist smugglers. It seems to be around this time that John Colclough moved to Lancaster County: On 2 March 1660(/1?), Edward Webb of Lancaster County sold half of a 220-acre tract to John Colclough, together with "halfe of the housing and halfe of the orchard." The land bordered Barbecue Creek and a branch of the Pieankitank River. John wasn't identified as a resident of Lancaster County on this record, but when he sold the land on 27 Aug 1660, he identified himself as a "planter of the County of Lancaster and the Parish of Pieankitank."
• John first appears in the Stafford court records in September 1664 (having bought land there shortly before)
• 12 Oct 1664 John buys a tract of land from Colo. Ffooke 400 lb Tobo
• On 22 Oct. 1665, John Colclough received 500 acres in Stafford County for transporting ten people into Virginia.
• 6 Jun 1665 John received another 200 acres on Quanticutt Creek for transporting four people into Virginia. John Colclough's page at the Early Settlers of Colonial Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties website, citing Cavaliers and Pioneers, p. 544.
• It appears that the maiden name of John Colclough's wife Mary was Partridge (although there are those who claim Rivet as her maiden name). Mary Colclough appears to have been one of four sisters, one of whom -- Sarah Willson -- was elsewhere identified as the sister and heir of Samuel Partridge.

These creeks are located off of Willis River in the middle western part of Cumberland County, Virginia. Horn Quarter Creek is located near Trents Mill in present day Cumberland County, Virginia. It is speculation, but Robert may have imported Ambrose, Philip, John, and William Hudgens to Virginia. Those Hudgens may be his brothers but there is not proof.

Comments

• Cheatham Co.was formed 1856.
• James Gibson and Mary Jane Easted have been listed as parents. But the locations of James Gibson is far from aead were the Hudgens live. i do have a couple of DNA matches to a Gibson daugher Mary Gibson Hendricks who is supposed to be a sister but this projected line is suspect.
• Today there are many Hudgens in Cheatham Co. There are two Hudgens cemeteries in the Co. One is small, and one is large and still being used. It has the graves of Daniel Hudgens, his wife, and many members of the subsequent generations in it. We do not know where James Sr. or James Jr. are buried although I have been shown an area on a farm outside Ashland City where I was told there were some old, unmarked Hudgens graves.

This flax was to be worked into linen cloth and- the hemp worked into ropes and bags. This law yTaS repealed in 1685, and re..enacted ~out tlle' t~ at tm c1(;')se of Rappahannock County. In 16841 before the act was repealed, several of the larger planters had their production certified to the General AssemblY at J~s - City by the court of Rappahannock County. James Bowler presented to court 353/4 ells of li.Den of his own growth and manufa.cture. This goods was 3/4 ell wide. (An ell 'Was about 45 inches.)

Samuel B~oomfield had certified 4 bushels of hemp seed, and i busllel of flax seed, and 28 yards of woolen cloth one yard wide. Henry Williamson reported 5! :pecks of flax seed of his own growth, Henry Awbery reported 8 pecks of hemp seed and 56 ells of cloth ,3/4 ell wide and made by him. (0.1, 23-24.) One of the planters reported tbe making ot three pair of sheets of canvas 36 ells long and 10 ells wide valued by court at 600 pounds of tobacco. (0.~46) Robert 'Paine owned a large loom" and one of his men, named Taylor, operated it in 1690. (0.2, 217.) Major Henry Smith had a spinning wheel. ' These instances show the general trend of the age to produce at h9DJe the cloth necessary for making the clothes of the family and the dependents of the planter. In 1690 there had been no compulsory law for production of this kind. However, since the policy had proved beneficial., it was deemad good and wise that all should be required to produce the cloth consumed in daily li1'e, and the law was re-enacted.

Puckett Family Tree

Puckett Name Meaning: English (Dorset): of uncertain origin; perhaps a variant of Pocket(t), from a diminutive of Anglo-Norman French poque ‘small pouch’, hence a metonymic occupational name for a maker of purses and pouches or a nickname. Alternatively it could be from a diminutive of Middle English pouk(e) ‘evil spirit’, ‘puck’, ‘goblin’.

Birth	ca 1619 or 1620	? City of Oxford or ? Dorchester England	ca 1628

The book states that a search of English records in London and the Co. of Dorset as well as church records had been searched and the Puckett family did come from England. According to the research done by Sue, the Pucketts are mentioned in detail in the files of the Society of Genealogists, Chaucer House, Mallet Place, WC London, and in the Dorset records preserved on the Hose of lords and designated THE PROTESTATION RETURNS 1641-42.

Sherman Family Tree

Sherman Name Meaning: English: occupational name for a sheepshearer or someone who used shears to trim the surface of finished cloth and remove excess nap, from Middle English shereman ‘shearer’.

Gen 11	Henry Sherman		Cicely ?Knowles
Birth	ca 1630
Death	2 Sep 1695 - 1 Oct 1695 (W)	Henrico Co. VA	29 Jan - 1 Feb 1702/3 (W)	Henrico Co. VA

• Henry Sherman d. by Apr 1687
• John Sherman d. by 1 Apr 1687
• Elizabeth Sherman m. Henry Trent
• Ann Sherman m. John Crowley¹, Christopher Branch²

by Cecily's first husband Isaac Hutchins

• John Hutchins

Comments

• He likely came to Virginia at the expense of Abell Gower. He was living on the south side of the James at "Warwick" in May 1665, probably on land that had belonged to Isaac Hutchins before he married his widow, Cicely
• It is likely Cicely is Cicely Knowles, sister of Capt. John Knowles. Cicely had married 1st Isaac Hutchins who made a will leaving land to his son, Robert Hutchins, when he came of age "provided my wife Sicily Hutchins have for her maintenance ½ the land for life, but if my son dies under age, then to my wife forever." Because Robert Hutchins died before coming of age, all 378 acres fell into the hands of Henry Sherman after he married the widow Hutchins.
• When Henry Sherman sold 125 acres to Capt. John Knowles 5 Apr 1671, Cicely did not then relinquish her dower right, and William Giles, who married Bethania Knowles, John's daughter and heir, sued Sherman for the oversight.  Sherman paid the costs of the suit and, on 1 Oct. 1683, Cicely, through her attorney, son-in-law John Crowley, relinquished her dower right.  Sherman countersued the same day. We do not know his complaint and he allowed the suit to be deferred several times until the court simply dismissed it. 
• 7 Nov 1673 he received 228 acres of land (part of Warwick) next to Peter Lee and was part of "Warwick" that had once belonged to Capt. Matthew Gough. 
• His will I, Henry Sherman of ye County of Henrico being sick and weak of body but of perfect sence and memory make this my last will and testament. First bequeath my soul to God that gave it to me and my body to the ground, and after my soul and body shall be united both in one and enjoy the eternall bliss where my redeemer liveth. All the world goods that it has pleased God of his mercy to bestow upon me I give and bequeath in manner and form as followeth: Imprimis - I give and bequeath to my well beloved wife - Sisly Sherman all my negroes and Slaves and the halfe part of all my Estate within doors and with out for ever. Secondly - I give to Alexander Trent all my wearing Apparrell, and what money he owes me I freely give to the Said Ellixsander Trent for ever. Thirdly, I give the other moiety of halfe part of Estate to be equally divided between my Daughter Elizabeth wife to Henry Trent, my Daughter Ann wife to Christopher Branch and Alexander Trent, sone of the said Elizabeth Trent. Fourthly, I give to my Grand Children Alexander Trent and Henry Trent all the land that is really mine to be divided between them. Alexander to have that part whereon I now live and Henry to have the upper part of Said land. To have hold and Enjoy the Same for them and their heirs for ever after the death of my above said wife. Lastly, I nominate and appoint my well beloved wife, Sisly Sherman to be my Sole and absolute Exectx, of this my last will and testament. Signed and Sealed in ye presents Henry Sherman, (His Mark), Will Burriss (His mark), Thos. Howell, James Fugeett.To wife Cicely , slaves and half ot estate To Alexander Trent, all ot my wearing apparel and what he owes me Rest of estate to be equally divided between my daughter Elizabeth wife to Henry Trent, my daughter Ann, wife to Ch:istopher Branch, and Alexander Trent, son of said Elizabeth To grandchildren Alexander Trent and Henry Tent Recorded 1 Oct. 1695
• After the death of Cicely, his land would descend to the two Trent grandsons. Peter Field, Francis Epes
• Henry in court: Henry inventoried the estate of his neighbor, Robert Huson, in 1678 and served on juries several times--sometimes as foreman.  He was a witness in a trial and sued others for minor issues. With William Byrd, Henry was security for an administration bond for the estate of Thomas Howlett.
• In Oct. 1698 Cicely "for love and affection to my grandson Christopher Branch Jr...." gave him an 8-year-old slave named Jenny,  and in Nov. 1702 Cicely gave half the 228-acre plantation that her husband got in 1673--29 years earlier--to a grandson.  She could not write but conveyed the following to the attorney who drew up her deed of gift: "for filial obedience and love manifested by my grandson Henry Trent of same, planter, who has very much tendered and earned my motherly love toward him, and in consideration of my great and declining age, grant him ½ of my plantation in the neighborhood called ?Warwick.'" To Alexander Trent two months later went a similar expression and 114 acres.  According to the will of Henry Sherman, they would have inherited these tracts at her death.
• Her will: Cicely Sherman made a will in Henrico County that left property to her daughters, Elizabeth and Ann, and granddaughters, Ann and Cicely Branch and Rebecca and Susannah Trent, and appointed her beloved grandson Henry Trent sole executor (will dated 6 Aug 1703  and proved 1 Feb 1703/4).
• Will of Henry Sherman Jr., son of Henry Sherman. To my kinsman Henry Trent, Jr., son of Henry Trent of Henrico Co., planter, 2 feather bed with rugg and pr blankets when he is 21. If God shall bless my beloved sister Ann Crowley, widow of John Crowley, by a future marriage with children, I bequeath to her first born at 21 a feather bed, etc. Executor: beloved brother John Sherman of Henrico Co., planter Dated February 20, 1686.

Tapscott Family Tree

Tapscott Name Meaning: English (Devon): habitational name probably from Tascott in North Petherwin, Devon. There are no early spellings of this place name, but could perhaps be ‘Tapp’s cottage(s)’, from the Middle English surname Tapp.

Comments

• Henry immigrates at the age of 14 on the William and Oriana from Bristol under the tuition of Capt. Jeffry Baylie and arrives Potomac River VA 12 Jan 1699/1700. He had a paid passage. He left his mother and was much younger than normal and intended to return to England. But when he arrived he wanted to stay and he then becomes indentured to Alexander Swann after Swann wrote to his mother for permission..
• 1706 his indenture ended at age 21 although Swann tried to fight it ending.
• Swann lived on Fleet's Bay, Christ Cuch was attended by Henry. The current building was buit 7 years after Henry's death but incldes a chalice used in Henry's time and likley Henry's childen attended the church.
• Henry lived on a 266 acre spread touching on Mr Carters Great Mill Pond.
• Ann's father James Edney arrived by 16 Aug 1682 Thomas Winter received a headright listing Jam. Edney. He and Thomas Winter were neighbors and on documents together. Winter was one who did the inventory upon his death. It is unlikely he came as an indentured servant as he had an estate a short time after arriving. He died by 15 Jun 1698 when Thomas Chowder claimed next of kin and was made administer of his estate. It is liely he was a brother-in-law or James. Thomas Winter was one of those assigned to inventory the estate.James Edney likely did not arrive in the New World as an indentured servant. Thus, just three years after his presumed arrival, James had an estate, unlikely for someone arriving as a servant
• Ann Edney Tapscott George m. 2nd Benjamin George
• Thomas Chowder died around Jul 1709 and she probably lived with him until his death. On 17 Aug 1709 Anne selected Anthony Haynie as her guardian. Anthonie Haynie became ill and made his will 31 Jan 1709/10. 15 Mar Jan 1709/10 and selected George Ball his son-in-law as guardian. George Ball's first cousin Mary Ball was George Washington's mother. This was probably for financial support as Anne would not have been in the same social class as the Balls. Thomas Chowder ran up a lot of debts and Anne did not receive a lot of her inheritance.

Comments

• George selected Benjamin George to be his guardian after his father's death.
• Sometime before 1787, George with his family and his brother, Henry, moved 150 miles from Lancaster Co. to Buckingham Co. which lies south of the James River in the Piedmont.
• George recieve 10A as one of 3 heirs of Samuel Conway (likely his uncle)
• Sometime before 1787, George with his family and his brother, Henry, moved 150 miles from Lancaster County to Buckingham County, which lies south of the James River in the Piedmont.
• On 2 August 1787 George Tapscott received a patent for 263 acres lying “among the South branches of Rock Island Creek” in Buckingham CO.2142 The following day, George’s second patent, for 510 acres along “Howards Road,” was recorded. This road is almost certainly “Benjamin Howard’s Road,” mentioned in both a survey and a land grant record. The first George Tapscott lived near the fork between the east and west branches of Rock Island Creek. His descendants owned land along Rock Island Creek and also near Sharps, Muddy, David (“Davids”), and Little George (“George’s”) Creeks. This map shows present-day highways and towns for reference. Warren Ferry dates from 1789, about the time of George’s death; Hatton Ferry was established nearly a century later
• The Buckingham Co. personal property tax list for 1787 showed George with two slaves of age sixteen or above, three below age sixteen, two horses, and four head of cattle. This is similar to averages for the CO; however, during the few years he lived there, George amassed a sizable amount of land, most or all near Rock Island Creek. At the time of his death, he had 1300 acres of land, of which 500 acres were to be sold. The remainder was to be left to his wife to raise the children and then sold, with the money divided among them.

Trent Family Tree

Trent Name Meaning: English: topographic name for someone living on the banks of any of the several rivers so called. The river name is of British origin; it May be composed of the unattested elements tri ‘through’, ‘across’ + sant- ‘travel’, ‘journey’; alternatively it May mean ‘traveler’ or ‘trespasser’, a reference to frequent flooding. There is a village in Dorset of this name, on the river Trent or Piddle, and the surname May therefore also be a habitational name derived from this. Scottish: probably of the same origin as 1, though in some cases it May be from a reduced form of Tranent, a place in East Lothian.

Womack Family Tree

Womack Name Meaning: English: unexplained. The surname is well established in England (Yorkshire and Norfolk) as well as North America, and there is a Womack Water in Norfolk, but the name remains unexplained. It May possibly be connected with Dutch Walmack, from Middle Dutch walmac(k)e ‘twig’, ‘faggot’, applied as a nickname for a thin person.

Comments

• The widow of William Womack, Sr., married second Timothy Allen
• Looking at the names and the marriages it seems likely that these are Richard's parents there is no evidence.
• Richard and Abraham Womack are security for Daniel Nunnally's administration of the estate of Abraham Pucket.
• William Womack on tithing list of Henrico Co., Va. in 1679. Va. Rec. Bk. 1677-92 pp. 492
• William Womack is thought to have left a will, but it has not been located. The appearance of his widow, Mary Womack, in Henrico County Orphan's Court in October 1677 to settle the estate of William Womack, decd., indicates that there was a will. It is likely that William died sometime in the year 1677 in Henrico County. At this court, Timothy Allen, Jr. (perhaps Mary's father, or more likely, brother) presented the account of cattle belonging to the orphans of William Womack, Dec "Mary Womack 4 cowes and one heifer. Mary and Thomas Womack hath between them 4 cowes and 3 calves. The said Marys proper stock is 5 head of cattle - which is in all 12 head. It is consented by the court that one of Mary Womack's cows which is changed for a 3 yeare old heifer of Abraham Womack shall soe stand confirmed. Timothy Allen was apparently appointed administrator of the estate of William Womack. This, and the allocation of cattle, indicates the presence of a will. The first Mary Womack named is probably the widow with her dower portion; the second would be the daughter Mary who, together with brother Thomas, was still a minor. Abraham Womack is likely their brother, son of William Womack, decd.

• Richard was the adventurer and an Indian Trader. Apparently he was killed by Indians 30 miles beyond Ochanechee (near present Clarksville, Mecklenburg Co) along with Thomas Skippy, John Miller, Hugh Cassell, John Sturivant, and John Davis mentioned in a letter of William Byrd of Westover to Thomas Grendon in England.
  • To Thomas Grendon per Zack Taylor....Apr the 25th 1684. Dear Sir,
    This I hope will come to your hands to congratulate your safe arrival in England, having little news to send, all being well at your house. The general Assembly is now sitting, and your neighbor Hill Speaker. I hope all things will go on smoothly. Old Sturdivant, his son Millner Shipy, Womacke, and Hugh Cassell were all killed by the Indians in their returne from the Westward, about 30 miles beyond Ochanechee. What prejudice it is to see mee my guesse, they having (had they come well in) made a very advantagous journey. On Easter monday I spoke with 50 Seneca Indians about 12 miles above my house; they had promised to behave themselves hereafter very peacable toward the English. I shall not trouble you further at present, but with my best respects and service to yourselfe and all our friends, wishing all health and prosperity, I am, Sir. Your reall friend and Servent W.B. Jack Warren and Will Randolph our worthy Burgesses, frequently drinke your health Pray and be mindfull of my Shoes and Boots & C. Source: The Virginia Historical Register Vol. 1-11-64 Capt. Byrds Letters.
    In a book entitled, "Adventurers of Purse and Person," the following about the death of Richard Womack in 1684. On pp 351 after citing the story of the death of "Old Sturdivant, his son, Millner, Shipy, Womacke and Hugh Cassell..." from William Byrd I, in a foot note the following is given: " 18 Marion Tinling, ed., The Correspondence of the Three Williams Byrds of Westover, Virginia, 1684-1776 (Charlottesville, 1977), I, pp. 15-16. The date of this letter May have been later in the year. Letters of administration on the estates of John Milner, Thomas Shippy, Richard Womeck (and John Davis) were granted to their widows at the same Henrico County court, 1 Aug 1684, and all of these men's inventories show some connection with the Indian trade: Indian boys and girls, trading knives, a tomahawk, Indian baskets(Henrico Co. Wills and Deeds 1677-92, pp 282-90).
