APRIL HODGE-PODGE

by Linda Sparks Starr

MAY 1996

[I pact to spin on the letters before getting to letters
from Doug Tucker, Dick Baldauf and English collection sent by Dave
Goodwin. As in at an earlier time sound effects, I'll try to shut within my initialed personal observations appearing in brackets everyplace contemporary influence be trace as to the author. Extremely, others pro full recognition for the luggage of their messages; typos are fine my play in. LSS]

Dave Goodwin forwarded observations re: my MacKenney file from Rhoda Fone 7 APR: Rhoda cutting out that Roger Comeings (named
brother-in-law of Alexander MacKeney in one deed) "possibly will be his
[Alexander's] wife's brother or possibly will be his sister's husband..."
[I Enfold there's inexperienced avenue -- step families. LSS]

Rhoda into the open identifies the TANDY daughters of John dec'd who Alexander gave land to: "I think, but no bear, that Anne Tandy
married Sylvanus Ambler who Ability produce been a brother of my Mary Ambler who m. Thomas Massie. The two actions from Mackenny to the
two Tandy girls were witnessed by Benjamin Clarke and Thomas
Massie. In the role of this took place in 1693, I feel noticeable this is my Thomas Massie, son of Peter, the explorer."

Richard Hopper (8 APR) approved dejected information from Patricia
Stanley that Lord Ashley-Cooper's three wives were: 1st Margaret
Coventry d/o Thomas Lord Coventry; 2nd Frances Cecil, d/o David
Cecil 3rd Earl etc.; 3rd Margaret Spencer d/o William (Spencer)
2nd Baron Spencer of Wormieighton. She indicated this informa
tion came from Dr. L. Johnson.

Here's an vivid connection I got off va-roots and checked
it out in Anderson's", Meriwethers & Their "Mary BATHURST b. VA d. 1740 married Francis MERIWETHER b.
1670 Va. She was the dau of Lancelot BATHURST b. 1646
(Gloucester, England) and his second husband, Susan Productive. This Fran cis is the son of Nicholas MERIWETHER and Elizabeth Woodhouse,
from this time brother of the Nicholas Meriwether exactingly associated with Xpher Clark.
Alex. MacKeney rec'd land grant c1688 on certificate of E.
Chilton and Lanct. Bathhurst primeval 1687. [per Nugent] In 1682
George Gill sold 1,000 acres in New Kent Co. to Lancelot
BATHHURST; the land was south of the Pamunkey and kindling of
Crumps Sound. [per" Co. "unclear by Weisiger]
Mr. Edward CHILTON "obviously" was an atty/prosecutor in Henrico
Co. In 1693/4 the choice of his attys in Charles Municipality Co.
was witnessed by Eliza (X) JOHNSON and Banga Travers. [ Chas Municipality Co. Court "unclear by Weisiger]

Since effective with Blisland Town collection, I wondered if the
"Rees Hughes" who was the first signer of grievances in 1677 was
the incredibly person as "Rice Hooe", a name I remembered seeing in a great deal collection. Mary Stewart sent me an Ahnentafel which shows that a Rice Hooe live in the region. This Rice was
married 1660 in Charles Municipality Co., but was in Stafford Co. VA by
1689. That vegetation a wide gap for ifs/whens did he move? That
his daughter-in-law, Mary Dade b.1661 was married first to Capt.
Robert MASSEY in 1677 is not any help starting the only MASSIE to
sign the 1677 worry list is Peter. The luggage of this en
wear out clause doesn't manifestly matter -- the two MASSEYs may
not neat be kin -- I'm just amid it in a escalating list of pos-
sible coincidences.

Complementary neighbors and surnames which we apparently neediness be paying above attention to include: Thomas BOWLES, William HOGG, MARTIN
(even if I've tried to avoid them as they are as several as
JOHNSONs), SNEAD, MIMS, and WATKINS. The commission for these reach three wil be readily understood at the same time as Baldauf's line is included in the mix.

From" VA "vol. I, No. 4, FEB/MAR 1993, edited
by Virginia Davis, pages 191-2 has a tithables Indicate 1678 for Hen rico Co. Jno LEWIS and Henry WATKINS (3 tithables each) lived on
Turkey Desert island with Mr. Productive. Cocke and Capt. Wm Randolph; Mr. Wm CLERKE (3 tithables) lived in Mr. Productive. Lygon's district; Robert CLERKE, John WATSON, Wm Warden Sen. (with 4 tithables) and
Charles MATTHEWS lived in John Millner's dist (the others had 1
tithable each). Convinced WOODSONs, Mr. Jn Pleasants, Lewis WAT
KINS, lived in Mr. Ben Hatcher's dist. No a great deal CLARK/ MOORMAN/
JOHNSON on the list, but it is Henrico Co., not New Kent.

Here's inexperienced file pulled off va-roots -- this one from Fling Johnson (johnson@mail.crosslink.net):
George Eastham b. c1663 in Rappahannock Co. VA married Mary
BIRD b. 1687 in King & Ruler Co. VA. She was the dau of Robert
Bird and Susannah CLARK who married in New Kent Co. c1685. Mary
Bird family a plantation of 300 acres on the Mattaponi Cascade.
George & Mary Eastham had two daus -- Rachel b. c1695 New Kent Co
m. John ROGERS grandfather of Gen. George Rogers Clark. John
Rogers was b. 1680 and d. c1768 King & Ruler Co. VA. John and
Rachel Rogers' dau Anne b.c1728 married John CLARK, son of
Jonathan CLARK and Elizabeth WILSON in 1749. John and Anne are
parents of Gen. George and William Clark. Could this Susannah
CLARK be the vulnerable vice- between Xpher and the general's line?
We've all Silent it came lay aside the gen'l's loving line.

David Goodwin mailed me the English CLARKE wills and the visita
tion collection in fast May; he commented on these by letters 3 MAY:
"At this point, I'm without a doubt not claiming that Clarkes of Exeter formed Clarkes of Barbadoes. It's information stuff right now.
What's vivid... is that a Moorman teacher in England
reach court sent me some material... about his Devon kind.
... a MOORMAN married a DAVEY in South Molton Devon in the 1680s.
This sounds minor-league and may well be so. But the DAVEY family
(and I checked...the Christian (female) Davey of South Molton is
associated to it) of Exeter is tied (in two) by marriage to the
CLARKEs of Exeter. What's above, Arlene Anthony tells me contemporary were ANTHONYs in South Molton. So I've sent for the South Molton
district collection. This town is perhaps 30-40 miles from Exeter.
By the by, Arlene corrected one selling she'd told me about
the Anthony who I held was doctor to Lord Shaftesbury as he lay
longing in Holland... He was the medical doctor for Edwin Sandys, not Shaftsbury... Sandys was Shaftsbury's right-hand man. This John
Anthony, by the way, was the son of Dr. Francis Anthony of Lon
don, a enthralling character in his own right, who promoted sort
of a snake-oil cure, an elixer amid gold, for out of the ordinary
illnesses. He stimulated in high circles in London but eventually
fell from veer..."

In his letter to Dave Moorman 25 APR which he "forwarded" to me,
Dave Goodwin goes into the MOLTON connection a bit above exten
sively:
"The Moormans...were in North Molton, Devon, in the 1640s
(or before). One of them, William, was married in 1686 to Chris
tian DAVEY. Correct, two being ago, I establish that John CLARKE, leave of a Christopher Clarke of Exeter (and Maybe tied to Clarkes
of Barbadoes and I don't know to Clarkes of Virginia) had married
Elizabeth DAVEY in 1572 in Crediton, about 10 miles better-quality Exeter.
I or else knew that the Davey family (aka Davie, etc.) was tied
by marriage into the open down this Christopher Clarke's family line, so it was vivid to see that the two families had been tied
neat toward the back. And now I see a MOORMAN-DAVEY tie in Devon. Now I'll produce to go back into the movies I was screening and see if the name Christian Davey shows up on the Crediton births. (North Mol-
ton is, I'd expect, 20 miles or so into the open north of Crediton...)"

A "Big Status" goes to Dave Moorman for writing the Island of Wight Contour Past performance Identity and hence rift the results: The letter primeval 15 APR 1996:
"Thank you for your letter linking the Moorman family.
According to our latest Index of Members' Absorb contemporary is
only one person researching the name. She is Mrs. L. Gherashe,
22 Wilguy Curved, Buderim, Queenslan (sic), 4556 Australia.

Compelling plight with your research. Janet Few."
[Dave ended with] I'll record to Mrs. Gherashe, Miss Lowe,
and Mrs. Abraham to see what above we can let know."

Last clarity of my MacKENNEY file in late APR, David Goodwin
wrote: "I produce borrowed four of the Barbadoes in bad condition books by Joanne Sanders... Re: the HILLMAN name: I establish it in St.
Michael's district, Barbadoes, the incredibly district everyplace a few MacKENNY names were establish. A Sarah Hillman and a John Allen were m. contemporary Sept. 17, 1700. A Sarah Hillman was b. July 18, 1692, an Alice
Hillman was bapt. 13 Jan. 1697, to James and Sarah Hillman. In
1700 a Daniel McKenny and a Jane Doller were m. on Oct. 27. All
this does is to put the two surnames in the incredibly district, but it may be of inhabit.
By the way, the book" and "which I
referred to in inexperienced retort, was on paper by David KENT. (I in the same way as establish you'd referred to this biographer toward the back this court but without the book title...)
Believe to the McKennys: I want to suitable a spelling I gave
you re Alexander MacKenny's will of 2 NOV 1681. A abide by was
Daniel Moerikell, as the Sanders book had it. In a great deal parts of her books, I see the spelling Daniel Macrikell and Mackaell.
What's vivid about this is that a Daniel whose will was
proved in 1683 lists sons Markum, Daniel and John, plus a friend
named Francis CLARKE. This was in St. Michael's district, too.
In amassing in St. Lucy's district, an Elizabeth MacKenney is
unacceptable as a abide by in a will by Ellioner MacCollister (2 July
1693). A Daniel MacKenney of St. Lucy's is unacceptable as a friend of Thos. MacKellister (16 July 1684) with a Gilbert MacKenny as a
abide by. Thomas' husband Ellenor is executrix. Thomas moreover lists his son John "of Fortress Killcohee, Co. Anderness, Scotland".
This makes me bliss if Mackellister (and perhaps MacKenny) were
associated with the Scots who were in King Charles' retinue who
were standard to produce fled to Barbadoes in the 1640s.
Re the Arthur Collins name establish in the Alex. MacKenny will:
... Charle Collins had m. Margaret Clarke feeling be be Capt.
Christopher Clarke's grandmother'. I establish that marriage date as Jan. 1, 1682 in Christ Cathedral Town... A Charles Collins is
moreover unacceptable as having married a Sarah Payne on Apr 9, 1667, in Christ Cathedral district. In St. Michael's district everyplace McKennys were establish, a 'Capt. Charles Collins' had a son, George, on April
10, 1669. (Wife's name not unmovable). In Christ Cathedral district, Charles and Sarah Collins (see marriage better-quality) had a teen, Ann, on Dec. 20, 1670...."

7 MAY Elizabeth Harris asked: "In the role of is the background that Chris topher and Francis [CLARK] are brothers entirely than first
cousins? Is contemporary a avenue that Chris possibly will be the son of Micajah (whence his son by that name) and Francis who married Cor-
delia [Lankford] the son of Francis the brother of Micajah?" My
participation was that contemporary is no background they are brothers; highest ear lier researchers just "supposed" they were. Does anyone produce
"bear" either way?

9 MAY Elizabeth continued:

"In fact I now think John [CLARK] who married Ann Paulette
may produce been a grandson of Francis Sr. entirely than a son.
Doug's analysis suggests that John son of Francis Sr. married Ann
Gibson and stimulated to NC, but that Thomas son of Francis stayed in VA. My flow create is that "my" John may thus be the
son of Thomas entirely than Francis himself, but the jury's still
out on this one.
You're right that Ann Paulette's husband isn't Edward,
conversely. Unless contemporary were two Ann Paulettes...
I still haven't matter for my part that there's only one
Thomas Paulette in Hanover/Louisa Co. in this hex. There's one
who married Semiramis JOHNSON, whose leave Thomas Johnson gave
his teen Semiramis Paulette 200 acres on Stone-horse Sound,
Hanover Co. in 1734, and who is supposed to be the leave of Ann
who married John Clark. Offer is moreover a Thomas Paulette of
Trinity Town, Louisa Co., who tidings noticeably in Louisa Co.
collection in the 1750s-1760s and whose will 1771 names husband
Elizabeth and wife's son John Christmas, in amassing to more readily a few of his own folks, but NOT Ann Clark, who was completely
come to life and or else married at that time. One Thomas who first married Semiramis Johnson and hence Elizabeth the widow (or unwed
blood relation) Christmas? Or two?"

And that's my letters messages to 14 MAY! I do, yet, want to
add a couple above bits and pieces. One establish in a smooth but looking for everything on inexperienced line --" Old Independence in the Seven
teenth "edited by Dig M. Billings, 1975, pages 198

And reach from VA Gen. Soc. Publication -- vol. xxii, No. 2, April
1996, piece 17: "A headright product proves only that any person
(apparently...) entered the neighborhood at some time previous to the is suance of the indubitable. In the role of headrights were traded like coinage contemporary was not often any connection between the headright and the patentee nor between the district in which the patented land lay
and the headright. If the headright were issued in the past 1642, a search of district transitory influence complete the preliminary figure in court of law by the headright or the person who claimed to produce useful his stream. These transitory sometimes complete new give details, will
at bare minimum list the feasible preliminary possessor of the list and are cer- tainly primeval preferably to the exhibit."

On the contrary for Richard Hopper's progressive dedication re: Patricia Stanley's research, I number this is all the letters messages which neediness be sent out to the group. If you've sent one that wasn't in
cluded all-around or in the at an earlier time "hodge-podge" file, make you laugh let me ask. I apparently filed it up your sleeve in a "logical smooth at the time"
and haven't now feeling to weed out that reliable folder!

Honest IN from Dave Goodwin: Has Doug Tucker "used the"
Colonial "(in a selection of volumes) by Beverly Punctual,
privately in black and white in 1941?... In Vol. 10, piece 17, I see the name of MICHAELL CLARKE (cq) as one of about 50 people 'imported'
by a Howell Pryce. The importation best was recorded between
17 and 20 FEB 1656. I am without a doubt not up to his speed in manner ing the VA Clarke movements so he may well produce seen this affair, but it is the first time I've seen a Michaell Clarke in VA. Extremely on the importation list was a Francis Fford, a name I've seen in
Barbadoes collection.
Now, this incredibly Pryce, on 16 NOV 1657, is unacceptable as importing inexperienced large group of people (and getting 3850 acres of land).
Included were these names (as spelled in the best): Jo.
Makinney, Dunkon Makaney, Alex. Makinny and Dan. Macknane..."
