Major W. Mahone in 1810 James City County Tax records and 1820 Census James City County, VA
Willi Mahone found in Census 1830 and 1850 James City County, Virginia.
Archiless (prob. Archibald) in Patrick Co., Va in 1840.
"Major Mahone was head of the family in 1840 in James City County, Virginia.- It states: :The tax lists for land in James City County, Va, show the earliest name of Mahone as Major Mahone, with 110 acres, 1782-1800; in 1881, he cut this acreage to 106 acres. In 1802 he must have died for his estate of 108 acres by 1805 is divided between Major Willis Mahone and Daniel Mahone, 59 and 49 acres, respectively. This is the first time the name of Daniel Mahone appears."

The following is quoted from an article published Sunday Feb 18, 1906 on the page 4 of the Times Dispatch Genealogical Column by Miller,
"Mahone- It is difficult to trace the Mahones, as so many records of them have been destroyed. Daniel Mahone and his brother Willis came from England when quite young men. They married sisters, the Misses Hatton. Daniel had six children, four boys- Major, John, Daniel, and Jim and two girls. He thereafter married a Miss Buffin, whose family came from England, were reported as being very wealthy. By this marriage were six children also: four sons: George, William, Willis, and Walker. George married a Miss Mahone; William married ______[sic: wife apparently unknown)l Willis married Miss Donroella; and Walker married Miss Ann Vaughn. Daniel had a farm on the upper part of York County, Virginia. All of his sons died during or before the war. [sic: the Civil War], except William and Daniel. The latter died only a few years ago in Hampton." The article continues with other information which did not appear to be of direct interest to our family. Mr. Miller was not kidding about the difficulty in tracing the genealogy, but we do find interested tidbits here. I always assumed an Irish descent but this says English, but this does not mean that they did not start in Ireland and moved first to England and eventually America. What is confusing is that the article says that John was the child of Daniel's first wife rather than Miss Buffin. Could the writer's source have reversed one or more of the children's names since it is reported that both [wives] produced equal numbers of children with the same breakdown of boys and girls. Why would he give his son a middle name of a wife he had not yet married? But assuming that a Miss Buffin did married Daniel Mahone, then that is very strong evidence that any ancestor with Buffin for a middle name would have Daniel for a father." Another Mahone researcher added the following information,"In checking through my husband's records, most records we've gotten from others have listed Elizabeth (Betsy) Buffin as John Buffin Mahone's mother, with Daniel as his father;" John Buffin Mahone is my 4th great-grandfather. His son, Cornelius Walter Mahone is my 3rd Great-Grandfather.

Another ancestor, Francis Kinloch, born March 6, 1755 in Charleston, SC; m. Martha Rutledge (1764-1816). Francis Kinloch, was "a United States Congressman, During the Revolutionary War, he served as Capt. in the Continental Army. He served in the South Caroling State House of representatives in 1779 and  was elected a member of the 2nd Continental Congress in 1780. From 1786 to 1788, he was a member of the State House of Representatives, State Legislative Council in 1789 and the State Constitutional Convention in 1790.  Their children:
Eliza Kinloch
Anne Cleveland Kinloch (1788-1857)
Frederick Rutledge Kinloch (1791-1856)

The surname Kinloch is linked to the Nelson and Mahone families. The Massies is connected to the Nelson families of Nelson County, Virginia.

"A brief sketch of the Gilmer family is prouded because they were of their aristocratic scottish backfround as owners of Craigh Millar Castle near Edinburgh. The castle was historically invoved, along with other prominent Scots loyal to Mary, Queen of Scots, in the plot to murder Lord Darnley, her English
 husband. Whatever the history of the period, the Gilmers kept a genealogy record that connects with the Taliferro and Brown families, as recorded in a  book given to my sister Kate on her visit to Uncle Joe Brown's family in Montana. In the long and detailed record of the Gilmer's family history we can skip to Dr. George Gilmer the first of the family to visit America. He was b00 and graduatedorn near Edinburgh in 1700 and graduated in medicine from the University of Edinburgh. When he went to London to practice with the well-established Dr. Ridgeway, he fell in love with Dr. Ridgeway's daughter, Mary Peachy, an only child. The name Peachy was thought to have  been the maiden name of Mrs. Ridgeway, a French woman. When the Royal Land company employed Dr. Gilmer to go to Virginia and report on the extensive properties, a year's absence from England would be required in addition to the two long and hazardous crossings of the Atlantic Ocean under sail. He was privately married to Mary Peachy Ridgway and he arrived alone in Williamsburg in 1731. When he returned to London a year later he received the sad news of his border's death. On his remarriage, Dr.Gilmer named his first Peachy Ridgeway Gilmer, and to the present day the combination of names has come down through generations of the family connections in Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi linking the Gilmer genealogy with that of the Merriweather/Merriweather, Taliaferro, and Brown families. Kipling used the combination in his  story of "The Man who would be King." Since the family had provided a missionary to India in the time of Kepling". Except from narrative written y Edwin Rice Brown III."

The Paternal Side of My Family
In "Twelves Virginia Counties: Where the Western Migration Began" by John Hastings Gwathney
"Giles, George and Bryd Rogers, brothers of Ann Rogers, the mother of General George Rogers Clark all owned land in Albemarle, almost the entire family emigrating to Kentucky. Parmenas Rogers, son of Giles Rogers, was a Magistrate in 1807 and Sheriff in 1834. John Rogers, son of Bryd Rogers, was an expert farmer, and his son, Thornton Rogers, conducted a classical school at Keswick, the old Page mansion, from which came the name of the nearby Keswick Depot. Francis S. Sampson, a nephew, studied at Keswick, then at the University of Virginia, and became a member of the faculty of the Union Theological Seminary at Richmond." "Castle Hill was built by Dr. Thomas Walker in 1765, having come in possession of the land from his wife, who was the widow of Nicholas Meriwether. Tarleton turned aside on his raid to Charlottesville in 1781 and visited Castle Hill to capture men of Jefferson and the legislature at Charlottesville would have been in vain.  In connecton with Castle Hill there arises an interesting question regarding the boundary line between Louisa and Albemarle was from the year 1744, when Albemarle was formed, to 1761. Dr. Thomas Walker represented Louisa in the House of Burgesses up to 1759, then represented Albemarle from 1761 to 1775. In the conventions of 1775 he again was a member from Louisa. The dividing line was apparently vague, from the formation in Albemarle until 1761, when a special commission was named to straighten out the matter. The report of this commission is recorded in Albemarle Clerk's Office, and the findings were that the line had always been where it now is. It may have been that Dr. Walker lived on the edge of Louisa, or owned land in both counties. Certain it is that the Castle Hill home site was Meriwhether property, and it has been generally supposed that he came into possession of it when he married his first wife, Mildred (Thornton) Meriwhether, a widow."

"The name of Redd is believed to have been originally used as a nickname, having reference to the red hair or ruddy compexion of its first bearers. It is found in ancient English and early American records in the various spellings of Rede, Redde, Reede, Reade, Read, Reide, Reid, Redd, Red, and others, of which several of the other forms are more generally used today, but that of Redd is still frequently used today, but that of Redd is still frequently found in America.
Families of this name were resident at early dates in the English counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Somerset, Kent, Worchester, Oxford, Surrey, Hereford, Buckingham, York, Gloucester, Lincoln, Middlesex, Devon, and London, as well as in various parts of Scotland and Ireland. They were, for the most part, of the British landed gentry and yeomanry.
"Sir Lionel de Redd, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Count Faulke. There seems to be nothing given on his life, and the next in succession was the grandson of Sir Lionel, who was created a Peer of the realm and was known as "Baron de Redde," his full in line of succession was Baron William Rufus de Redde, son of the preceding, who accompanied his kinsman, Richard I, (Coeur de Lion) in the war of the third crusade, about the year 1192. This knight, by his splendid valor and chivatrous bearing, won the respect and admiration of all, and was held in much dread by the Saladin's whole army, and at the same time he was greatly esteened by his own comrades. It was about this periof that the usage of "Coat of Arms" was adopted in heraldry.
They were first worn during the various noble knights when wrapped in complete steel armour.
The coat of arms of Baron de Redde was in the shape of a shield with bars of alternate colors of red and black diagonally from side to side, and for the crest, a cross protected with swords, making a suggestive and beautiful device. The motto inscribed upon one of the bars near the middle, "veritas et Animi Vincit" (Truth and courage conquer) when King Richard returned to England from the crusades, Baron de Redde was one of his escorts, and when the King was taken and held prisoner by the treacherous Archduke Leopold while
enroute home, Baron de Redd remained in prison with him until the English people paid a ransom for their
King's release. This Baron de Redde was one of the famous assembly of English Barons that compelled King Johm to sigh the celebrated "Magna Carta" in the year 1215.
The House of de Redde continued firm supporters of the crown from this time onward until the period of the Wars of the Roses", when William Lionel de Redde, Earle of Warwick, in the cause of the unfortunate King Henry VI, and it is said that when that terrible battle was over, his body was found near that of the Earl of Warwick's both with faces to the enemy, lying stiff in death. This battle, as is well known by those familiar with English history, decided the claims of the two contestants to the British crown, and the House of York having been successful in the final struggle, Edward IV ascended the throne. This King was so brutal and vindictive toward the friends and adherents of the House of Lancaster, that they were the subjects of the worst severe punishments and terrible hardships, among others, the lands and estates of the house of 'de
Redde' were confiscated and the surviving members of the family fled to foreign countries to escape the vengeance of the relentless tyrants. Many years after, when the noble Earl of Richmond wrested the crown from Richard III, and mounted the throne was Henry VII, a great many friends of the House of Lancaster were recalled from exile and restored to their titles and estates, and anong them was the son of Viscount
Rufus Beresford de Redde, whose christian names was William Beresford. The titles and estates of the House of de Redde were transmitted from father to son from this time through several reigns without incidents of special interests having occurred until the period of the revolution of 1688, in the head of the house at that time, William Lionel de Redde; espoused the cause of the Prince of Orange, and was a participant in many of the battles between James II and that Prince, after William III. He was distinquished for his gallant conduct at the battle of Killiecrankie, in the highlands of Scotland, fought between the forces of the two Kings, William and James, during the year 1689, and was seriously wounded in that battle, which wound resulted in his death a few years later. His son and heirs, Sir William Rufus de Redde, succeeded in his titles and estates, and being convinced that King James was unjustly and unlawfully deprived of his right to the throne, he entered the army of King James and was faithful to the cause of that unfortunate monarch until death relieved him of his earthly troubles at St. Germanius. After the death of King James, Sir William Rufus de Redde, with many other nobles and prominent men, was compelled to seek safety of the Prince of Orange, when he returned to England. He eventually came to Virginia with His Excellency Gov. Alexander
Spottswood during the reign of Queen Anne. After his arrival in Virginia, he found it expedient to discard this titles and nobility, and was known only as plain Mr. Redd. The Norman French prefix of  "de" was discarded and the spelling of the name changed from Redde to Redd. He was an intimate friend of Gov.
Spottswood, having married his niece, a Miss Moore, by whom he had three sons, John Rufus, Thomas and
George.  Col. Rufus Redd, the oldest son of Sir William Refus Redde, was born in Spotsylvania Co., VA. He was educated with the view of preparing passing such courses of instruction as the American schools at that time were prepared to give, he was sent to England to finish his education. He then travelled through several European countries and returned to Virginia, though he did not enter the profession of Law as was first contemplated. Having represented his country with distinction in the House of Burgesses of Virginia, he entered the miliatry service of that colony with the rank of Lt. Colonel. During the French and Indian Wars, he was engaged in several battles and rendered valuable service to his government. He married a grand-daughter of Gov. Spottswood, who was also the daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Dandridge, who brother, Admiral William Dandridge, commanded a squadron of ships of war in the famous battle of La Hague, which occurred off the coast of France, May 19, 1692, between the forces of the Prince of Orange and Louis XIV of France. In this engagement Sir William Dandridge entered Signal Services, and was promoted by the Prince of Orange, for bravery and gallant conduct. Unfortunately he received a wound from a cannon shot which caused him the loss of a leg, and very soon he died from the effect of the wound. He married Miss
Unity West, a granddaughter of Lord Delaware, for whom the State of Delaware was named. A few years after his marriage, Col. John Rufus Redd moved to Buckingham Co., where he resided until his death, though he lived to an extreme old age, and was for many years connected with the public service, both civil and military. He was appointed by the Gov. of Virginia, among other eminent officers, to accompany General Braddock upon his famous expedition against the French and Indians of Fort Duquene 1755. Col.Redd, though, seriously wounded in the disastrous battle, assisted Washington in saving the body of General
Braddock from mutiliation by  the Indians, and also aided him in preventing a  total rout of the British Army. After this he returned to his home in Buckingham County where he reared a large and happy family, and it appears he did not again enter public life, until the beginning of the "Revolutionary War" when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Though nearly half a century in years, he again entered the service of the revolted colonies, and was actively engaged in that war until the battle of Camden when he was again
seriously wounded whilst heroically exposing his person and life defending the brave and noble De-Kalb
from immediate death. When General Gates, the hero of Saratoga, soon ofter his signal victory over the English General Burgoyne, was sent to take command of the army of South Carolina, Washington wished to send certain important instructions to him and selected Col. Redd to bear the dispatches. He was too late, however, to deliver his late successes in New York, had already, against the advice and solemn protest of
Baron De-kalb and other experienced officers, commenced battle when Col.Redd arrived. The disastrous defeat of the Americans in that of the once proud and haughty Gates, is familiar to every school boy, and need not be dealt upon in this work. The gallant bearing and services of Col. Redd in this battle won him high praise and commendation of the commander-in-chief, who rewarded him with a letter of recommendation to the present of the Continental Congress for promotion. This letter id extant and can be seen at the rooms of the society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities at Richmond, Virginia. He was too much disabled by this wounds to participate longer in the war and lived a quiet life at his home the the remainder of his days. He left a large family of eleven children, six sons and five daughters, an account of whose lives, together with their descendants will be given, so far as can be ascertained.
It has been stated Col.John Rufus Redd married Miss Danridge, a grand-daughter of Gov. Spottswood, that he moved to Buckingham Co., where he resided the remainder of his life, having reared a large family of six sons and five daughters:

Major John Redd, the oldest son of Col. John Rufus Redd, was born in Buckingham Co.,VA, Oct 20, 1755. He was inclined to travel and loved adventure. At the age of 17, he left his father's home and settled in Henry Co., then a part of Halifax Co., and while the lands were very fertile, with excellent climate, civilization had not made the rapid strides that other sections of the state had enjoyed. The Revolutionary War with England, having been declared four years later, Major John Redd, being then only 12 years of age, was among the first to declare himself and volunteered his services for his country's freedom. Having invested his effects in lands, he joined the first company of volunteers raised in his section, under Captain Bryce Martin, and although a mere boy, was elected 2nd Lieutenant of the Company. He was said to have made a gallant soldier, and was distinquished for his activity and bravery throughout that terrible war. He was present at the Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown on the memorable day of Oct. 19, 1781. Then and there, he is said, and believed by many, to have fired the last gun in that long and bloody struggle for freedom. Certain it is that he was promoted upon the field at Yorktown brevetted "Major of Cavalry" under the eyes of Washington. The following paragraph is taken from the "American Monthly Mag." of Sep 1893. The article is in connection with the death of the late Mrs. William Ballard Preston, widow of Hon. William Ballard,
Confederate States Senator, from Virginia "This lady was the granddaughter of Maj. John Redd, a gallant soldier of the Revolution who, for conspicuous valour, was promoted on the field of Yorktown (Yorktown),
where it is believed he fired the last gun of that battle, the last battle of the Revolution-the last gun fired.
Fancy pictures that anxious soldier as he fires that last gun, and its echo seems still to sound the knell of Tyranny, and the old flint rifle that spoke the closing words for liberty may still be seen. This old gun that carried the last shot of the Revolution fired by the gallant Maj. Redd was among the first rifles made in America; it weighed 27 pounds and is six feet long."  Aftern peace was declared with Great Britain, Major John Redd returned to his new home in Henry Co., and devoted his time to the improvement of his lands. He married Mis Mary Waller, the accomplished daughter of Col. George Waller, who was also an officer in the Revolution. Major Redd was blessed with a family of ten children, five sons and five daughters of whom all lived to the age of maturity. Being a man of wealth, his first care was to see to the education of his children, all whom were sent to the best schools and the most of them graduated with distinction and honors. At the age of fifty he was probably the owner of nearly one-third of the best land in the county, well stocked with horses, sheep and cattle of various breeds, and several hundred slaves. He had been elected time and again to nearly every important office within the gift of the people, and represented Henry County in the legislature nearly twenty years. He was a member of the legislature during the session of 1778-99 and voted for the famous "Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions", after which the people continued to elect him until he refused to serve any longer. Of his many sterling qualities and noble traits of character, too much cannot be said, but the plan of this work will not admit an extened account of the circumstances incident to the  lives of indviduals. There are, however, several incidents connected with his life that should be mentioned; one of which the winter believes will be of interest. Some of those living will remeber that the year 1832 witnessed much suffering throughout the land, caused by an unprecedented drought. The very poor of the land were begging and starving everywhere; many children were found dead in their beds, while their parents were straggling about in every direction begging for bread and work. Major Redd, seeing the awful situation, did not wait for the slow process of courts, and other authorities, byt gave directions to his agents, and overseers to search out the destitude and suffering wherever found and caused them to be supplied with food from his plantations help themselves. He would never  receive anything in the way of remuneration. The county offered to make a levy to repay him but he refused to receive a farthing, telling the authorities that the blessings of Providence that he had experienced, and the satisfaction of having relieved the suffering and needy, were sufficient pay.
Major Redd died at the advanced of 95, at his homestead (Marrowbone) located in the Southern part of Henry County and was buried in the family cemetery Aug 11, 1850. The cemetery is located near the residence, and two acres of ground including a beautiful plateau fronting to the west, were set apart as a burial ground. In the centre, under a huge oak tree can be seen the tomb of the grand old patriarch. This cemetery is remarkable, not only for it's beautiful location, but also for the splendid and costly enclosure, make entirely of granite foundation and furnished with the best iron and steel railing. The whole structure is of substantial character calculated to with stand the storms and tempests of centuries. Already six generations have representatives within its sacred precinct, but there is ample space for many more which doubtless will be occupied in due time.

Received from Floyd PACE on 7 July 1997 Mt. Zion Church" (from Childress Research List, on Rootsweb.
com.) "At the beginning of the eighteenth century there were very few country churches. The Methodist people were visited by the "Circuit Rider", where every night over took this minister, the near neighbors were
called in and worship was held. Somewhere around the year 1785 Benjamin Childress who was from Hanover County brought 2200 acres of land and built his house at Seven Oaks. (The home of the late Mrs. L.I. Turner.) In 1828 Mr. Childress took his slaves and built a log cabin for worship this being the corner of his land joining the "Cannan Estate". Mr. Childress gave the finished job to the Methodist Conference. The Church grew and prospered. Later the people erected a brick building, but on account of defective foundation, this church was unsafe for use and the present building was erected in 1881. Work and various improvements have been made from time to time. In 1904, when C.E. Blankenship was pastor, the first real changes were made, The Vestibule was built inside. The old plain windows replaced with the ones now in and the Arch behind the alter put in. The concrete steps and walk were added when Joe Patterson was pastor. In the last few years the church has been painted inside and out, also the roof. The Brick wall was built in-between the original old pillars last year. The cemetery was started when Benjamin Childress' wife Ann Key Johnson died in 1843. Mr. Childress then gave more land for a cemetery. Time went on, everyone wished to do so, used the cemetery to lay away their family, but it was no one's responsibility to keep it up and no funds with which to have it done. When R.I. Williams (about 1929) was Pastor it was in a deplorable condition led by Mr. Williams a few got together and talked and what is far better they went to work. Ward Jones, Mrs. Lane, Mr. Childress, Mr. Moore, W.A. Dawson, and others began to clean up. Then the ladies
took a part. How they raked leaves, cut periwinkle, honeysuckle etc. Mrs. Sam Carroll and Mrs. T. A. Harris were among the workers, this went on for nearly a week. Too much hard work had been done to stop them; so the next year, it was again cleaned off and Ward Jones and W.A. Dawson with the aid of crowbar, tapeline etc located all unmarked graves and lined them up putting a white board marker at each end. Them came the First Homecoming, T. E. Johnson was Pastor and L.P. Bland preached the morning sermon. Up to this time all work had been given no charge for anything. The visitors were so pleased at out work, that they contributed very liberally. That money went to buy the marble markers that are numbered. They were then placed at the unmarked graves. In the meantime Mr. Earle who owned "Canaan Farm" deeded to the church some more land. The cemetery was then seeded to grass, it was very hard to get a stand on the graves the land was so poor. W.A. Dawson cut sod from his meadows and set it on the graves, taking water out every day from home and watering the grass so it would root. All offerings on Homecoming day are for the improvement of the cemetery and solving for perpetual care. In 1950 there was a committee appointed to look after the cemetery namely, Mr. J.C. Childress, Herman Patterson and Martin Dawson. Mr. Childress supervised the building of the new fence. The unfailing liberality of the Friends, Former members here and away, as well as the loyalty of the Home Guard, has made what you see today possible.
Thank you. -Homecoming Day Sunday July 29th, 1951 Rendered by J.G. Morris."

Marriage: Matilda, or Maud, was the daughter of Baldwinv, Count of Flanders and Adele of France, herself
daugher of Robert II of France. According to legend, when Duke William II of Normandy (later known as
William the Conqueror) sent his representative to ask for Matilda's hand in marriage, she told the representative that she was far too high-born to consider marrying a bastard.
"William II of England (c. 1056-2 Aug 1100) third son of William I of England, was King of England from 1087 until 1100, with powers over Normandy, and influence in Scotland. He was less successful in extending control into Wales.
William is commonly known as William Rufus or William the Red, perhaps because of his red-faced appearance. He was a figure of complex temperament: capable of belliosity and flamboyance. He did not marry, nor did he produce offspring, legitimate or otherwise. He died after being struck by an arrow, while hunting, under circumstances that remain murky."

    1. + Henry I (King of England Beauclere), b. 1100; d. 1135

     legitimate child left alive, should be his heir. Henry I died on December 1135.

          2. Matilda. b. 1102; m. Geoffrey of Anjoum 1114; She became Queen, and she returned to England
           after his death in 1125. After her father's death, Matilda was with her husband in Normandy. It was
           not until 1139 that Matilda landed in England with her army. Stephen was eventually captured at the
           battle of Lincoln (Feb 1141). When Matilda went to be crowned the first queen of England, the
           people of London rebelled and she was forced to flee from the area.
          they had a son:

had to deal with rebellions in Northumbria and along the welsh border. He was killed in 1100 while hunting

throne. When Henry I died Dec. 1135, Stephen broke his promise and quickly had himself crowned King of
England at the time of her father's death, Matilda was with her husband in Normandy. It was not until 1139 that Matilda landed in England with her army. Stephen was eventually captured at the battle of Lincoln (Feb.
1141). When Matilda went to be crowned the first Queen of England, the people of London rebelled and she was forced to flee from the area. Stephen's army captured Matilda's half-brother Robert of Gloucester.
An exchange of prisoners was agreed, and Stephen obtained his freedom. The civil war continued until the
signing of the treaty of Winchester on Nov. 1153. This treaty recognised Matilda's eldest son, Henry, as the next King of England. In return, Matilda agreed that Stephen's son, William, would be allowed to keep his
family lands in France. Matilda returned to Normandy and remained there with Henry until her death in 1167.
"Rollo" is a Latin translation from the Old Norse name Hrolfr into the similar Roluo in the Gesta Danorum), but Norman people called Wace's Roman de Rou). Sometimes his name is turned into the Franklin name
Rodolf (as) or Radulf (us) or the French Kaoul, that are derived from it.
Historical Evidence:
Rollo was a power Viking Leader of contested origin. Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in his De Moribus et actis
primorum Normannonim ducum, tells of a powerful Danish nobleman at loggerheads with the King of
Denmark, who had two sons, Gurim killed. William of Jumieges also mentions Rollo's prehistory in his Gesta
Normannorum Ducum, but states that he was from the Danish town of Fakse. Wace, writing some 300 years after the event in his Roman de Rou, also mentions the two brothers. (as Rou and Garin), as does the Orkneyinga saga. Norwegian and Icelandic sagas. The oldest source of this version is the Latin Historia
Norvegiae, written in Norway at the end of the 12th century. This Hralf fell foul of the Norwegian King
Harald Fairhair, and became a Jarl in Normandy. The nickname "The Walker", :Ganger" in Norse.
Family:
Two spouses are reported for Rollo:
1. Poppa, said by Chronicler Dudo of St.-Quentin to have been a daughter of Count Berenger, captured during a raid at Bayeux. She was his concubine or wife, perhaps by more danico. They had issue:
    1. William Longsword, born "overseas"
      -Gerloc, wife of William III, Duke of Aquitaine. Dudo fails to identity her mother, but later chronicler
       William of Jumieges makes his explicit.
      -perhaps Kadlin, said by Ari the historian to have been dau. of Ganger Hrolf, traditionally identified with
       Rollo. She m. a Scottish King called Bjolan, and had at least a daughter called Midbjorg, she was taken
       captive by and married Helgi Ottarson.
  2. (traditionally) Gisela of France (d. 919), the daughter of Charles III of France.
Death: Sometimes around 927, Rollo passed the fieb in Normandy to his son, William Longswood. Rollo may have lived for a few years after that, but certainty died before 933. Even though Rollo had converted to Christianity, some of this prior religious roots surfaced at the end."
Legacy: Rollo is the great-great-great-grandfather of William the Conqueror. Through William, he is an ancestor of the present-day British royal family, as well as an ancestor of all current European monarchs and a great many pretenders to abolished European thrones. A genetic investigation into the remains of Rollo's grandson, Richard II has been announced, with the intention of discerning the origins of the famous Viking warrior. The "clameur de Haro" in the channel Islands is, supposedly, an appeal to Rollo.

                                   to America in his own ship in 1680 after an initial visit 10 years earlier. His
                                   residence in 1670 he settled in New Kent County, Virginia moved to settled in

                                   America in 1620. When he emigrated to Virginia where he patented 400 acres
                                   on 18 Apr 1670, in the Parish of Stratton Major, in New Kent County on the road
                                   to Piscataway, Virginia. He settled in King & Queen Co., VA near the present
                                   town of Dunkirk.

                                   moved his family to Virginia during the Reign of Charles II. John was born
                                   immediately after they arrived in the U.S."-Linda Lewis Weissinger 2005
                                   In the land: Patent Book No. 5, Col. Robert Abrall obtained 500 acres in New
                                   Kent County, Virginia on April 26, 1664, for transporting 10 persons, one of whom
                                   may have been Giles. Giles himself, obtained a patent for 400 acres in New Kent
                                   (soon to be King & Queen Co., Va.) on the Mattipony river, for transporting eight
                                   persons on April 18, 1670. After Giles transported people on his ship, he returned to
                                   England. It appears that Giles moved finally to Virginia shortly after 1680. The
                                   interesting situation of Giles marrying two different Eastham women (Rachel & Lucy)
                                   the same year of 1672 in Englan (according to different researchers) seems clear that
                                   something happened to Rachel and that Giles children were born by Lucy, since the
                                   first female child was named Lucy, since the first female child was named Lucy after
                                   her mother. Most researchers agree there were 6 children."

I found this online "The Rogers Line": "Mary Rogers of Albemarle, Va., wife of Richard Sampson of Dover, daughter of John Rogers and Susan Goodman, descended from Giles Rogers from Worchestershire, England, where many of the name dwelt. In the "Lists of Persons of Quality Sent into His Majesty's Dominions of the Virginias 1686-1700," published in London from State Papers in 1874, there are long pathetic lines of names in receipts given by captains of vessels. They bought the political prisoners after Monmouth's Rebellion from Court favorites to whom they were "assigned"; and disposed of them in the Virginias and the Barbadoes as "indentured servants." Many of these were of the best blood of theWest of England, people of breeding and education. They were nearly all Protestants of a strong type, who were at the end of hope and patience under Charles II, and saw only worse things ahead under James II; therefore they espoused the forlorn hope of Monmouth, "a very sorry sort of prince." In these lists, the names of more than one Rogers, more than one Tucker and other of our "good" Virginia names appears. It tells the "quality" of these folk. but Giles Rogers (my immigrant ancestor) had come along before and was not "sent" to the Virginias. He was the great-grandson of John Rogers the Martyr, undoudtly of the non-conforming breed. There are indications that he sympathized with the ejected ministers, the 2,000 who were turned out of their livings August 23, 1662, by Charles II. "Head of the Church," Bishops who were "friendly" to Charles' duchesses and unfriendly to John Bunyan! Giles may well have been one of that two thousand men of conscience himself. In Virginia he patented April 18, 1670, four hundred acres in New Kent County, now King and Queen Co., in the Parish of Stratton-Major, upon the road Pascataway," He brought with him eight persons: John Evans, Thos. Clinker, Francis Mel-bourne, Jane Swann, Symeion Swart, Jacob Morton, Thos. Smith and Hannah Clark. He re-turned to England and came back in 1680 with his "wife children, servants and materials for building." "Giles, father of all these, is recorded in the parish of Stratton-Major, and shown to be a man of education and importance. Yet in the Parish Book preserved in the Library of the Alex-andria Seminary, with all its detailed business of the church and its people, I found no mention of any detailed business of the church and its people, I found no mention of any Rogers, though they were "landholders and housekeepers." Some of Giles' descendants resent the idea of his being one of those saintly men ejected from the English pulpit: they indig-nantly disclaim the Martyr; in fact, they disapprove the Martyr entirely! However, the late Col. John Cox Underwood, Lieutenant-Governor of Kentucky, son of the  Senator from Kentucky and uncle of the present Senator from Alabama, spent much time and money and the energies of his brilliant trained mind, investigating the Martyr descent, assisted by his uncle, Hon. W.L. Underwood, M.S., while he was United States Consul at Glasgow. He discovered  and visited descendants still living in England, possessing relics and genealogies. He found the records of Giles' birth in Edingburgh, of his removal "back" to Worchester, of his marriage there to Rachel Eastham: the proof that his father, John Rogers was the son of Thomas Matthew Rogers, born in Wittenburg, Saxony, when John Rogers was translating the "Matthew Byble," having "Prata" and in England Pratt. The succession of names is significant: Bernhardt of the exile in Germany, Matthew of the hiding of the Rogers name as translator, John for the Martyr himself, Giles for Edinburgh's great church. Miss Jessup, granddaughter of Lucy Clark, Mrs Croghan, herself great-granddaughter of Giles, went to England and pursued an independent search with the same result. The Martyr's name reappeared in Giles' youngest son, John, born on the ship as it entered Chesapeake Bay. He obtained a good education and became an explorer and surveyor, patenting land himself. In the journeys of his profession, he met and loved Mary Bryd, daughter of the first William Bryd and sister of the more famous Wm. Bryd of Westover, author of the "Bryd's Paper". Old Col. Byrd disowned his daughter and her children, but the blood ran true to type in some of its qualities, and the same gallant and adventurous spirit which made three generations of Wm. Bryd's leaders in early Virginia and overcame the difficulties of the Dividing Line, up-held Mary's sons and grandsons as officers in the War for
Independence and pioneers in the dangerous settlement days in Kentucky on the "Bloody Ground"; and in greater hardships when Gen. George Rogers was breasting the icy waters of the Wabash for the conquest of Vincennes, or his brother, Williams Clark, was planting the

            form following, that is to say: ITEM: I give and bequeath unto my son, Armistead Rogers, my grist
            mill on Coleman Creek together with one hundred acres of land whereon the mill stands provided
            that he shall let his mother Elizabeth Rogers, have half the profits of the said mill during her widow-
            hood. I also give my said son one sorrel mare, a man's saddle, a rifle gun and my sword to him and
            heirs forever. My wish and desire is that they two hundred and sixty acres of land which I purchased

           then remain shall be equally divided amongest the children that shall then be living. And I will and
           devise that my said wife do have my children educated in the best manner that the circumstances of
           my estate will admit of without inconvenience. I also devise that Alexander Haulson shall have six
           months of schooling at the expense of my estate, this expense of schooling expect to be paid from
           profits of my estate. In case of my son Armistead Rogers should die without a lawful begotten heir
           of his body, I devise the estate be given to him to be sold to the higher bidder after the marriage or
           decease of my wife and the money accruing by such sale to be equally divided amongest my children
           that shall then be living. And lastly I do appoint my wife Elizabeth Rogers, together with Nicholas
           Hobson, James Coleman, Archibald Murphy to be Executors of this my Last Will and Testament,
           revoking and disanulling all and every will and will by me heretofore made. IN WITNESS WHEROF
           I, said Peter Rogers, have hereunto set my hand and affixt my seal this 22nd day of January, 1785.
           PETER ROGERS---(SEAL) signed, sealed, published in presence of John McMichael. At a court
           held for Halifax County, VA, the 18th day of August, 1785, this will and testament of Peter Rogers,

           bond for the same as the law dictates where upon the legatees by Robert Williams and their attorney,
           return a protest against the proof of the aforesaid Will. (Signed) George Carrington, clerk Duly
           recorded. While the will of Peter Rogers, Jr., mentions by name only his son, Armistead Rogers, in a
           law suit filed in the Circuit Court of Halifax County, VA, at the February Term 1804, other
           children and heirs of Peter Rogers, Jr. were mentioned CIRCUIT COURT-HALIFAX COUNTY,

            27) That Captain Peter Rogers bought and sold much land in Halifax County, Virginia, and adjoining
            counties in Northern North Carolina is reflected in the many deeds of records. His home and grist
            mill were near the North Carolina being on Coleman Creek. Since the records of King & Queen
            Co.,VA, were burned during the Civil War, little can be found in the way of records of Peter
            Rogers' early life. Captain Peter Rogers died between January 22, 1785 and August 18th, 1785, as
            reflected by his Last Will and Testament, recorded in Will Book Two, Halifax County, VA, and
            the probation of his estate. The Revolutionary War record of Peter Rogers, Jr. as certified by the
            Archivist, Virginia State Library, is as follows:
            "I certify that the name of Peter Rogers is recorded in a manuscript volume now in the Virginia
             State Library known as "war 23 (1777)' page 58, I. 53: "This reference shows that Peter Rogers
             (rank not given) received for waggonage to Halifax Militia, etc. I Co. the sum of thirty three pounds
             and five shillings. December 10th, 1777." (Signed) Morgan P. Robinson Archivist Virginia State

Excerpts from " Amherst County, Virginia Heritage" by S. Grose:  "Martin Bibb": "Most of the Bibb families of Amherst County, Virginia are descendants of Martin
Bibb who lived on Stovall's creek where he married Sarah Whitehead, daughter of John Whitehead and Sarah Burcher on December 5, 1792 (bond). In 1795, after Sarah's death, he married Nancy Cash and settled on Lovelady Creek in 1801. Martin Bibb died in 1823. Nine heirs shared in the distribution of his estate. Sally W. Bibb (1794-1872) married Joshual Mays, son of John and Frances Mays, on Dec 17, 1810 (bond). The date of Sally's birth appears to coincide with the date of Sarah Whitehead's death, suggesting that Martin's first wife died with the birth of their first child. Joshua Bibb (photo) his great-grandfather Thomas Bibb was born in Philadelphia, PA, but later lived in Amherst County, Virginia and was married to Sarah Martin. One of his youngest sons was Martin Bibb b. 1759 d. 1822, married 5 Dec. 1792 Sarah Gatewood, then married secondly 23 Sep 1795 to Nancy Cash. Martin's oldest son was Levi born 1795 d. 1882 and married Lucinda Clemens, and married secondly, Nannie Brown (no children). Levi Bibb (1796-1882), married 1) Lucinda Clemens and 2) Nannie Brown (see the Joshua Bibb entry); Charles Bibb (1798-1885), m. Elizabeth Gatewood, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Shoemaker) Gatewood, on Nov. 22, 1817 (bond). One of their sons was the Rev. Martin J. Bibb (1824-1893) who married Caroline Ellison, daughter of Mathew Ellison, a "Prominent Babtist Mininster". Charles and Elizabeth (Gatewood) Bibb moved to Fayette County, West Virginia, where many of their descendants still live. Rachel Bibb (1800), married  John R. Duncan on Nov 5, 1821, Robert C. Bibb (1804, d. 1863) m. 1) Parnelia Frances H. Tinsley, (2) Elizabeth S. Burford, and (3) Lucy Jane Creasy (see Robert C. Bibb entry). Benjamin Brown Bibb (1806-1875), married Elizabeth Duncan, daughter of Fleming H. and Sarah Duncan on Dec. 18, 1827 (bond), by whom he had at least two children: Bethany W. Bibb who married Robert W. Page on Oct 8, 1846 (bond); and Ann Bibb who married Egbert O. Shields on Sep 15, 1849. On Dec. 21, 1840 (bond). Benjamin married as his second wife, Mary M. Mitchell, daughters of Tarpley Mitchell. A short time later he sold his 145 acres on Dancing Creek and Pedlar adjoining Peter Presley Thornton. It is said that he moved to Pike County, MO, where he married a third time to Ellen Davis, and became a successful planter and businessman."

WILLIAM and CATHERINE RAMSEY: "The earliest reference to this Ramsey clan that can be documented is the marriage of William Ramsey and Catherine Campbell on January 3, 1805, in Amherst County. This marriage could have taken place in what is Nelson County today. On the marriage bond bond between William and Catherine, John Ramsey and James Campbell are listed as supporting surety bond. Some genealogy reports indicate that William had a middle name "James", however this had not been documented. Further, some reports indicate that William was born in Albemarle County, in 1784, and Catherine Campbell was born in Rockbridge County in 1786, this also cannot be documented at this time.
William Ramsey's parents cannot be traced at this time. Although his marriage bond was signed by "John" Ramsey (normally the father of the groom), John could be a brother as well as the father. Court documents are available to substantiate that James Campbell was the father of Catherine. The search for the remaining parents continues. The death dates of William and Catherine cannot be specifically pinpointed but can be recorded as in 1859 and 1852, respectfully. We do know that Catherine was decreased prior to October 14, 1852. Both William and Catherine were issued a summons to appear in court in Nelson County on October 14, 1852. This summons was annotated by the Sheriff that he could not execute the document upon Catherine and annotated on the summons "deceased". We have located a court case in Nelson County dated August 15, 1859, which provided a court demand for the sale of personal property of William Ramsey due to his death. Joshual Ramsey and Sheriff Joseph Shelton were appointed administrator and monitor of the sale. Legal documents are available to indicate that William and Catherine lived in Nelson County near Montebello and Irish Creek. Based upon the sake of personal property, he was a farmer. The listings of items for sale included not only personal household items, but also farm implements and livestock. Also included were several shotguns, rifles, and pistols. William and Catherine had nine known children: Elizabeth

WILLIAM MARSHALL RAMSEY was the son of Levi and Mary Jane Campbell Ramsey. He was born between 1845 and 1850. His first marriage bond would indicate his birth in 1850, his second marriage license indicates 1848, his headstones indicates 1845 and the 1900 Nelson County census would indicate his birthdate as May 1848. We assume his birthdate as 1848 as he was too yound to serve in the civil war. His first marriage was to Mary Elizabeth "Molly" Hamilton Painter in Nelson County on August 17, 1876. Molly was born in 1844, died in 1899, and is buried at the Ramsey family cemetery, in the Ramsey Home place near Montebello. Molly was the daughter of James Hamilton and Susan Harlow. Molly first married to John H. Painter. John was a widower with three children, he was first married to Mulvina Ramsey, daughter of Joshua A. and Nancy Steel Ramsey. John and Mulvina's three children were: Martha Ann, m. James A. Bradley; Nancy E. married Schuyler Bradley; and Matthew Henry m. first Virginia Fitzgerald, second Lula Hite. Molly and John Painter had the following four children: William m. Texana Hite, Ora m. James Charlie Robertosn; Johnnie m. Effie Fitzgerald (see McDaniel Fitzgerald)
When Molly married William M. Ramsey in 1876, she brought six of the above seven Painter children to the new Ramsey family. they first lived near the Ramsey family. They first lived near the headwaters of the Pedlar River, in Amherst County. In 1897, William purchased 134 acres of land near Bald Mountain. William and Molly had six children during their marriage and prior to this move: Wildridge m. Ottie Carr; Christian L. m. Signora Bradley; Dandridge m. first Flota Burke, second Ella Weeks;  Ella Mae m. James Pamplin Bradley, Bessie Irene m. Walter D. Snead; Richard (Dick) m. first Edna Brooks, second Elva Campbell. After Molly's death, William Marshall Ramsey married Serena Painter, and fathered ten children. Their marriage license was issued on April 30, 1900, the minister failed to send in the certificate, or if the certificate was lost or filed is unknown. William and Serena had a happy family, their children were:
Homer; Samuel; Walter H.; Mary Blanche m. Daniel Bradley; Elmer Dewey m. Lilly Campbell; Burtess L. m. Hersey Coffey; Lina M. m. Homer F. Allen; Lena Jane m. first Frank Harris, second William Steele; Branard T. m. first Hallie Taylor, second Christine Crouch.
William Marshall and Serena raised sheep on their farm at Bald Mountain. They sheared the sheep selling the wool for income, keeping only small portions for personal use. Serena would card and spin the wool into yarn. William Marshall would knit the family socks, scarves, mittens, etc. using baling wire or fencing wires as needles. He taught his children how to knit. Serena died at the rather early age of fifty. She had a heart attack and fell off her horse. She is buried at the Ramsey Family Cemetery on Bald Mountain. William Marshall went to live with daughter, Lena, at Steeles Tavern. He died in 1929 and is buried at Mt. Carmel Prebyterian Church Cemetery at Steeles Tavern.

"Andrew Jackson Ramsey, was one of si children born to Joshual Madison and Nancy Steele Ramsey. He was born circa 1845 in Nelson Co.,VA and died prior to April 1892. He was married on 1 Feb 1866 to Lucy Ann Ham of Augusta Co.,VA to George and Margaret Weeks Ham, she died 2 June 1943 at the age of 98. "Jack", as he was known, and Lucy were the parents of 8 children. Three of the children Charles, Josphine, and Rose died before Lucy. Her surviving children were Annette, Joshua, George, John, and Mary. Joshual and George left this area at an early age and relocated in South Dakota. Josephine (1869-1942) married Howell Gilbert Fitzgerald and was the mother of 17 children. Four of the children, Barbara, Signora, Annie and Ida did not live to become adults, and two more, Sallie and David would die befor their parents. When Josephine died in 1942, she was survived by Walter, Willie H., Myrtle, Mag, Magnus, Nellie, Henry B., Aubrey, Lillian, Ollie, and Manley. As of this writing (1999), Manley is the only surviving child of this family. Howell and Josephine are buried at Haines Chapel along with several of their children. Rosa (1873-1928) never married but was the mother of a daughter Leafie who married Bernard M. Campbell. Leafie died in childbirth of her first child, Elwood Campbell. Elwood lived with his great grandmother for a period of time. Annette (1884-1969) married Frank Bryant and was the mother of six children were: David who married Kathleen Doyle and raised his family on Fort Mt. near Montebello, Melvin Z. who married Lois Bradley and also raised his family on Fort Mt., Russell; Walton, Fishburne and Irene. John married twice, and first wife was Sarah L. Bryant and his second marriage was to Bertha Tinsley.  Mary (1881-1964), or as she was more well known, "crim", married Henry B. Moran and was the mother of Arnold, Gordon, Mary, Nellie, Bessie, Carrie, and Lucy. At this writing, Gordon and Mary are still living.

When the Camdens first came to Amherst County they settled at Greenway, but later bought land at Sardis, which adjoined that owned by John Whitehead. Mr. Camden built a large wooden house with stately chimneys that he named Tudor Hall. As was not uncommon in those days, When transportation was no simple matter, two of John
 Whitehead's sons married the neighbor's daughters on Oct 26m 1795, Burcher's younger brother Richard marrid Nancy's younger sister Pency.

"When John Whitehead, (1789-1857) came to Nelson Co., VA is unknown. That he was in Lovingston on Dec 2, 1818 is known by a deed from Solomon Matthews and wife "of the town of Lovingston" to
"John Whitehead and County of said town." John bought aind lived on a farm of some 560 acres about two miles north of Lovingston on both sides of and fronting on the present Route 29, by first deed dated Nov. 28, 1820. John took a prominent part in county affairs and on Nov. 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 Lovingston 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 Co.,VA in 1789. His mother was the daughter of William & 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 his great-grandson, Robert Whitehead (1897-1960), Nelson lawyer and legislator, wrote to a cousin: "You and I owe much to the infusion of the Irish blood of Anner Mahoney into 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." (Mrs. H. Rogers Thomas), great-great-granddaughter of John Whitehead.
(Sources: Amherst and Nelson Co., Courthouse Records, and family correspondence.)
John Whitehead, grandson of Amherst Co.,VA. settlers John Whitehead and Sarah (Burcher) Whitehead,

The day that John saw Anner, he told his father that he would marry her when he become 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 Co.,VA. John

community school. [Nelson Deed Book 6, p. 361) 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

for 40 years. Married to Virginia Timberlake, he was a trustee of Randolph-Macon College and a visitor
on the Board of the University of Virginia.
My grandmother Lucy Lisle (Whitehead) Wilkinson (1902-1993) side of the family she descended from:
"All that is known about the Whitehead family of Amherst County prior to 1760 is more or less tradition. This is due in large part to the fact that records of New Kent County were destroyed during the War
Between the States. It is certain that the family settled early in the colony and had interests 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. The
Virginia Heraldica, volume V mentions Richard Whitehead of Gloucester County to whom was granted a tract of 5000 acres of land on October 24, 1873. The Coat of Arms of this family are those of Whitehead,
Lancashire, England. His son Philip was a member of the House of Burgesses of King William County in
1726. One account of the settlement in Virginia of Whiteheads is that in the reign of Cromwell, three brothers of the same name came to Virginia in company with the Spottswoods and Fitzhughs about the time that Spottswood was Governor.
Another account, and perhaps the mose reliable, is that during the reign of Charles the second a grant of land was made to three brothers in eastern Virginia between the James and York Rivers. One of these was John Whitehead, and that John Whitehead of Amherst, as well as all the family of that name in Virginia descended from him.  John Whitehead was born in New Kent Co.,VA, in the year 1735 and came to Amherst County, about 1760, bringing with him his young wife, Sarah Burcher Whitehead, born in Prince William County, VA. The deed book of Old Amherst, which was cut off from Albemarle in 1762, shows he purchased in 1762 a  tract of land if 125 acres on Huff Creek in what is now the company raised on Huff Creek in what is now the Sardis neighborhood. He was a member of the William Cabell, served under the Marquis de Lafayette in the Virginia campaign, and was present at the Surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown."-

John Whitehead (1735- bef. Sep 3 1787), date his estate was administered. See Amherst Co.,VA Will Book 3:52; married Sarah Burcher about 1755 in Virginia. "He served in the American Revolution as a private in the calvary, and was issued a bounty land warrant for 100 acres of land after his death. The warrant was dated 14 Jul 1792 and issued to Robert Means, assignee. The bounty land warrant and record of his service as a soldier in the calvary of the Virginia Continental Line are available from the National Archives. Also see the DAR records which are abstracted later in this compilation. John & Sarah came to Amherst County, Virginia, about 1760.

He m. in Amherst 25 Feb 1812, Anner R. Mahony, born 28 May 1794, daughter of Dennis Mahoney of County Kerry, Ireland. Her father had taken part in Emmet'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 Co.,VA. 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 1823 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. In 1829 he and nine other Lovingston residents purchased a one-half acre lot in the village for a community school. [Nelson Deed Book 6, p. 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.

"SIR: On the morning of the 22nd in start 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, 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 to him was intended, we learned, to be 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. Davis, of my

"The Clarks and their Descendants"
"The census of 1790 reported 2, 422 "Clarks" as the heads of families in America. With a name so common, tracing William Clark's paternal ancestors has posed quite a challenge to genealogists. However, his ancestors on his mother Ann Roger's side extend back to the 12th century. Roger II, conquered and ruled Italy for a time. Several centuries later, his descendant Reverend John Rogers translated the Bible into English; he was burned at the stakes in 1555 because he preached Anglicanism. Reverend Rogers wrote under the pen name of Thomas Matthews. His great-grandson, named Thomas Matthews Rogers fathered Giles Rogers, Ann Rogers's grandfather, Giles Rogers settled to America in 1680 with his wife and three children. A fourth, a boy, was born on board the ship; Giles named him John. After landing in America, the
Rogers' gave birth to two more children. The John Rogers born on the ship is William Clark's maternal grandfather. (Via, 1957) John Rogers is Ann Rogers father, and the family became well established in Virginia. Giles Rogers, Ann's brother, lived at Buck Mountain Creek, and her nephew, John Rogers owned
'East Belmont'. (Via, 1957 and Valentine, 2002) Jonathan Clark, the first Clark Patriarch undeniably related to the famous explorer William and General George Rogers Clark, patented land in Virginia in 1734 in King and Queen County, Virginia. He patented the 3, 277 acres of land (Loving, 1966) With three other men, Thomas Graves, Joseph Smith, and Edwin Kickmen, at the foot of what is now known as Buena Vista. Jonathan Clark and his wife gave birth to two sons, BenjaminClark, the older of the two Clark brothers, first
married a woman named Elizabeth Lee, and m. secondly, ? Greene. Between them he fathered 31 children, seven of whom died in infancy. Two of his sons, William (the explorer's cousin) and Marston went west and became important in Indiana history;  and John Clark married his cousin (second wife), Ann Rogers; she was
only 15 or 16 at the time of their marriage. They had ten children;(Via, 1957). Jonathan, George Rogers (the "Conqueror of the North West" or "Hannibal in Buckskin"), Ann and John were born while the family lived in the land of Buena Vista inherited from John's father. The Clarks moved to Caroline County, Va in 1757 and in 1768 sold their share of the land at Buena Vista to a man named William Tandy for 200 pounds.
Benjamin sold his portion of the land to John Fry in October 1762.  The other six Clark children were born at the New Clark farm in Caroline County- Richard Clark, Edmund Clark, Lucy Clark, Elizabeth Clark, William Clark, and Frances Clark. William Clark was born on August 1, 1770, he lived with his family on their farm in Caroline Co.,VA until 1784 when John and Ann moved their family to the new frontier in Kentucky where Louisville stands today. (Neuberger, 1995) Unlike his famous partner, William did marry upon his return from the expedition. He married Julia Hancock of Fincastle, VA in 1808. They had for  (five) children together:
        1. Meriwhether Lewis Clark, "was born January 10, 1809, the first child of William and Julia Clark. The baby, called simply "Lewis", was named for his godfather, who had co-led the famed expedition with William Clark. Described as a sickly child by his father and subsequently historians, Meriwhether Lewis Clark showed signs of artistic talent at an early age, sending free time drawing and sketching. William Clark took Meriwhether and his stepson William Radford to the easter seaboard in mid-1824. He enrolled both boys at an academy in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. The following year Meriwhether was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point by Secretary of War Calhoun. Meriwhether and his father maintained a close correspondence while he was a cadet at West Point. In 1830 Clark graduated in the middle of his West Point class, and was named color bearer, which, as his father observed, was a substantial honor. Clark's first assignment out of West Point was as an aide to General Henry Atkinson during the Black Hawk War in Illinois. In January 1833, Clark married Abigail Prather Churchill of Spring Grove, Kentucky. That same year he resigned from the army, although he later served as a major in the Extra Battalion of Missouri Volunteers, Light Artillery, Clark entered politics, serving as a member of the Missouri legislature and as a St. Louis Alderman and city councilman. Through the 1830's and 1840's, Clark employed the skills he learned at West Point as a civil engineer and architect. He served as engineer of the St. Louis Gas Works, and architect of the St. Louis County Jail. When his company of Light Artillery volunteers was called into the Mexican War, Clark served with Brigadier General Stephen Watts Kearny and  Colonel Alexander Doniphan in the Battle of Sacramento. Clark mustered out with his battalion in June 1847. In 1848 Clark became St. Louis recorder and in 1850 was appointed by President Zachary Taylor as surveyor general of
Illinois and Missouri, a position he held until 1853. In 1861 he joined the rebel forces, commanding a
division of the Missouri State Guard as a brigadier general. He subsequently joined the Confederate States Army and served as a Major and later a Colonel in the Ordnance Department. In November 1864 Clark was given a command in the Army of Northern Virginia, a post he held until his capture at Amelia Court House on April 5, 1865. After the war Clark was a faculty member of the Kentucky Military Institute until being appointed surveyor general of the State of Missouri. In later years Clark lived in Frankfort, Kentucky, where he died October 29, 1881."
        2. William Preston Clark
        3. Mary Margaret Clark
        4. George Rogers Hancock Clark,"was born May 6, 1816, in St. Louis, the third son of William and
Julia Hancock Clark, the third son of William and Julia Hancock Clark. Julia Clark died June 27, 1820, leaving 50-year-old William Clark, a widower with five children. Within a year and a half William Clark married Julias widowed first cousin, Harriet Kennerly Radford, and the Clark household increased by four-
Harriet and her children. When he was ten years old, George was shot in the face when a gun his hunting companion carried accidentally discharged. The shot entered below George's right eye and opened a gaping hole in the roof of his mouth. George recovered, and was able to speak somewhat clearly again within a few days. However, the damage his mouth sustained caused him problems for years to come. As an adult he wore a beard that concealed his scars. In 1827, George went to Lexington, Kentucky, to enroll at Augusta College. George's older brother, William Preston Clark, encouraged him to stay in school and not return to St. Louis to become a store merchant, as George had earlier expressed an interest in doing. In February 1833, William Preston Clark wrote George: "You must not expect a fortune from our father's estate, he is using every exertion to give his children an education and will have but little left to divide among them, after his father's death in 1838, George, now back in St. Louis, became administrator of William Clark's estate.
The Clark Family Collection contains a number of letters to George regarding the sale of Clark Family land
in Kentucky and Indiana. It appears that George made his living in this capacity; St. Louis city directories for the 1840s and 1850s list no occupation for him. In 1841 George married Eleanor Ann Glasgow. The couple resided in St. Louis. Their eldest daughter, Julia (later Julia Clark Voorhi), inherited William Clark's journals and even eventually gave the items to the Missouri Historical Society. George Rogers Hancock Clark died September 29, 1858. He married Eleanor Glasgow, daughter of William Glasgow of Delaware and Sarah Mitchell Gasgow of Fincastle, Virginia. Eleanor Glasgow married George Rogers Hancock Clark in 1841."
        5. John Julius Clark
After Julia's death in 1820, William Clark married her cousin, the widow, Harriett Kennerly Radford in
November of 1821. They had two sons:
        1. Jefferson kearny Clark
        2. Edmund Clark
(English, 1896)"
"Captain John Rogers and his brother Edmund made an agreement that whoever died first should return from the world of spirits and inform the other what was going on there.

He journeyed to Pittsburgh then took a flatboat down the Ohio River. He staked a claim to some fine bottomland in present day West Virginia and began clearing land for a farm. Soon after he got involved in Indian fighting, and participating in what was known as Dunmore's war. In early 1775 he ventured to Kentucky, and when news of the outbreak of the Revolution spread, a group of Kentuckians declared themselves loyal to the American cause, and sent Clark east to Williamsburg to obtain political recognition and gunpowder. Virginia governor Patrick Henry granted both. Clark transported the gunpowder to Pittsburgh, and then through hostile Indian country down the Ohio River. This took Clark the better part of the year, but when the Indian assault came in 1777 Kentucky was armed. Despite his military success, Clark, who  had sorrowed money to carry out his pland with the expectation of being reimbursed, suffered great financial difficulties when he could not recoup the expenses from his Illinois Campaign. He was hounded by creditors, and lived the rest of his life in Clarksville, Indiana. In 1812 a stroke left him partially paralyzed, and a subsequentl stroke killed him on February 13, 1818."
"John Clark, the father of William Clark, was b. October 9, 1725, in King & Queen Co., Virginia. John
Clark's family had arrived from Britain early in the seventeenth century and settled on farmland on the James
River in Viginia. In 1749, John Clark married second cousin Ann Rogers, who had just turned sixteen. The
couple took up residence on a 410-acre wilderness tract in Albemarle Co.,VA, not far from Shadwell, the
estate where Thomas Jefferson had been born six years earlier. John and Ann's first two children, Jonathan
and George Rogers, were born in Albemarle County in 1750 and 1752, respectively. In 1754 the Clarks
moved eastward out of the wilderness to Caroline County, a more settled location. There remaining eight children were born there:

           formerly educated. Clark did acquire the rudiments of learning in his childhood, and gained practical
           outdoor experience in both surveying and cartography. At the age of 14, his parents took William
           and the three youngest Clark daughters to Kentucky, to where in 1785 they established Mulberry Hill
           outside of Louisville. The family plantation was William's home for the next 18 years. Clark's military
           career began in 1789 when he joined a local militia that led campaigns against Indian tribes north of
           the Ohio River. In March 179 he joined the regular army as a Lieutenant of Infantry, Clark
           demonstrated diplomatic skill in his investigation of a Spanish fort that had been built on the
           Mississippi River south of St. Louis in violation of the Treaty of San Lorenzo. He resigned from the

"Kentucky is justly famed for her hospitality, but an incident of inhospitality in a pioneer home on the Ohio
River near Carrollton is the basis of an interesting anecdole for the descendants of John and Anne Rogers
Clark, who emigrated from Virginia in 1784 to take up their residence at the Falls of the Ohio, where a home, "Mulberry Hill", had been made ready for them by their son, Gen. George Rogers Clark. Mr. & Mrs.
Clark, their children and servants, escaped death at the hands of Indians when Mrs. Elliot, the wife of a Capt. Elliott, who frequently been a guest at the Clark home in Caroline County, Virginia; failed to extend
the courtesy of her house and board to them on March 3, 1785, as they voyaged down the Ohio.
The Clarks had apprised Capt. Elliot of their plans to journey to the new settlement, and had been urged
by him to visit his home and to become acquired with his wife and young daughter, of whom they had  they so often heard him speak. Although they left Virginia in October, owing to the bad condition of the roads, the inclemency of the weather, and the obstructions in the Monongahelia, it was March when the party in boats arrived at the mouth of the Kentucky. John Clark and one of his men landing, went ahead to announce to
Capt. Elliott the arrival of the party. Clark was greeted by Mrs. Elliot, who told of her husband's absence on a hunting trip. Abashed at the coolness of his reception Clark joined the travel-worn party in the boats and proceeded to Fort Nelson, where they were welcomed by the settlers. Hardly had the Clarks resumed their
journey before Indians on the war-path attacked the Elliott cabin, killing and sapling Capt. Elliot's brother, who, with several of his workmen, arrived immediately after Clark's departure to be mortified that his sister-
in-law had not dispensed hospitality to the travelers. Mrs. Elliot and her daughter made a miraculous escape from the cabin to the river bank, unseen by the savages. They were joined by Capt. Elliot, who, returning
unexpectedly, saw the warriors' canoe on the ruins, embarked to seek security at Fort Nelson, where they
were comforted and befriended, first of all, by the Clarks. Mrs. offered excuses for her inhospitality, relating
her confusion at the thought of receiving the Clarks in her crude frontier dwelling; knowing as she did the style and comfort of their life in Virginia, explainfing that in years she had not seen any white persons save the members of her own family, that she was overcome with embarrassment at the encounter. She assured Mrs.
Clark that the latter owed her life and that of her family to this breach of courtesy. The pioneers John and
Ann Rogers Clark had ten children, six sons, five of whom were officers in the Revolutionary War, the sixth
being too young to serve; four daughters, two of whom married officers, and two soldiers in the Continental
Army. Gen. George Rogers Clark, who history-making career is too well-known to be repeated here, had been in Louisville long enough to change his residence several times before his parents decides to join him,
having moved with the first settler families from Corn Island in 1779 to a fort at the foot of Twelth street, and in 1782 to Fort Nelson, built by the troops on the North side of Main Street, between sixth and Eighth.
"Mulberry Hill", a fine estate two miles east of the city limits, boasted a spacious double-log house, with a
wide hall through the center. There were four large square rooms, porches and store rooms, with the kitchen
in a separate building some distance from the house and near the spring. Gen. Jonathan Clark, who came
to Louisville years later than the other family member of the family, had married Sarah Hite in Virginia."

Notes for Rev John Rogers 'The Martyr'
    "At Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and later at Oxford, he absorbed the New Learning which Erasmus and
    Colet had fostered there. He was born too late to be under their actual tuition. For two years, til 1534, he
    was Vicar of Trinity the Less in the city of London. Shortly after Sir Thomas More's arrest in 1534,
    Rogers went to Antwerp as chaplain to the Merchant Adventurers. Tyndale was then in Antwerp
    working at the Biblical translation which led to his arrest and death (15ch35-1536). Rogers completed an
    edited Tyndale's translation. It is known as the Mathew Bible ("Matthew" being Rogers under an assume
    name which protected him from Tyndale's fate). This Bible, by a Royal proclamation in 1537, was to be
    provided for all to read, in every parish of the land.
John "The Martyr" Rogers, b. 1507, Deritend, Aston, England; m. 1536, Warwick, England, to Adigam
Adriana Pratt; d. 4 Feb 1555, Smithfield, England; children:
Bernard Rogers, b. 1543, Wittenberg, Saxony; he was educated in Germany and returned to England, crossing over into Scotland where he resided for a time, and married there about 1564. His known issue was:
Thomas Matthew Rogers (Generation 8) (called after the "nom de plume" used by the martyr in publishing
the "Byble"; b. 1565 in either Northern England or Scotland; d. 1621, Plymouth, Massaxhusetts; children:
   Thomas Rogers, eldest, b. 1586 England; d. 1620, MA; m. 1606, Wiltshire, England; 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. His first marriage was to a woman named Grace in Holland, his wife was called Elsgen. They had five sons and possibly, two daughters. The boys 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 on Coles Hill, Plymouth, MA.), son John and daughters Lysbeth (Elizabeth) and Grietgen (Margaret). It is possible
Elsgen as a 2nd 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 his 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 and wife Alice (Cosford) Rogers." John Rogers  Ancestor."
"The accepted lineage researched and published by Clifford Stott in the Genealogist"
Pilgrim Thomas Rogers (died during the "first sickness at Plymouth" in the winter of 1620/01; he was a
Separatist who travelled on the Mayflower to escape religious persecution, he was among those who did not survive the first harsh winter of 1620-1621; he had at least two sons:
  Joseph Rogers, baptized 23 Jan 1602/03. He m. possibly, a woman named Hannah ? by 1633. They had
     eight children. He d. ? Eastham, on Cape Cod in Jan. 1677/8. Buried in Old Cove, Burial ground at
     Eastham
  John Rogers, baptized April 6, 1606, coming to Plymouth in 1630, He m. Anna Churchman in Plymouth
     on Apr. 16, 1639. They had four children. He died in Duxbury between 26 Aug 1691 and Sep 30,
     1692.
  Elizabeth Rogers, baptized 26 Dec. 26, 1609. In 1622, she was living in Leiden, Holland and may have            emigrate to New England later.
  Margaret Rogers, baptized 20 May 1613. In 1622, she was living in Leiden, Holland and may have
     emigrated to New Endland later.
"One of the most common clain is that the Pilgrim was a great-grandson of (Rev) John Rogers who was burnt at the stake in 1555, the first casualty of the purge of the English clergy by Queen Mary I. Many
Rogers emigrants to New England and Virginia share this claim of descent from the Martyr John Rogers.
Pilgrim Thomas Rogers other children came afterwards. His son Joseph who came over with his father was
still living then, and he married and had six children. There are many descendants. Pilgrim Thomas Rogers
other children were emigrants to New England, including James Rogers of New London, James Rogers of
Newport, and William Rogers of Connecticut and Long Island. John Rogers, probably arrived at Plymouth about 1630 when the last of the Separatists arrived from Leiden. John was taxed in Plymouth on 25 March
1633. On 6 April 1640 Joseph Rogers and John Rogers "his brother" were granted 50 acres each at North
River (Marshfield).
Evidence from Dutch Records in 1905 showed Pilgrim Thomas Rogers was a Camelot merchant. On 25 Jun 1618 he was admitted as a citizen of Leiden, a distinction not held by all the English Separatists. He sold his house on the Barbarasteeg to one Mordecai Cohen on 1 April 1620 for 300 guilders, probably in anticipation of his removal to America. Additional research in Leiden records by Jeremy Bangs showed
that the house had been purchased in 1616 or 1617 from a baker, Jan Bloemsaet, and that Rogers had sued
Bloemsaet and his bondsman Gerritsz, on 22 February 1619 to release a lien on the house. The 1622 Leiden
poll tax lists reveal that when Thomas 1) Rogers left or America his wife Alice, two daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, and son John remained in Leiden. In the household of Anthony Clemets, apparently one of the English separatists who did not emigrate to Plymouth, are found the following persons:
  Jan Thomasz, orpan from England without means.
  Elsgen (Alice) [4] Rogers, widow of Thomas Rogers, an English woman in the back part of the house or in
kitchen.
  Lysbeth (Elizabeth) Rogers
  Grietgen (Margaret) Rogers
"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 he is John [2] Rogers, later of Plymouth. It has been speculated that the daughter Elizabeth came to 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. [15].
In summary, the primary evidence gathered from Dutch and New England sources establishes that Thomas
Rogers had a wife named Alice, who survived him, and at least four children:
   Joseph, John, Elizabeth and Margaret, probably in that order.
Joseph was likely the eldest because he came with his father to Plymouth in 1620, while the birth orders of the others is suggested by the tax list. Thomas left England by 1616 or 1617, when he bought his house at Leiden."

   Roger were primarily responsible for the Norman conquest of Sicily, and the Fitz Rogers name in
   South West England is alleged to have sprung from descendants of these brothers. Conditions in
   Sicily of a religious nature becoming delicate, an Aaron John Fitz Rogers, a merchant of Rome, was
   forced to flee to London where he engaged in business. The Rogers Family have the right to bear the coat      of arms accredited to Grand Count Rogers I of Sicily.

     at his father's succession. In 1193, his father, King Tancred, arranged his marriage to Irene Angelina, dau.
     of the Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelos. Tancred then had his son Roger crowned: Roger died at the
     end of that same year, shortly before his father's death on Feb 20,1194. His younger brother William III
     assumed the Throne of Sicily under the regency of their mother Sibylla of Acerra. On the November 20,
     1194, Henry VI Von Hohenstaufen, King of Germany and Emperor of Rome, entered Palermo, Sicily,
     and on December 25th, William was stripped of his title. In 1197, Roger's widow, Irene, married Henry
     VI's brother Philip of Swabia.

  and his wife Margaret of Navarre, daughter of Garcia Ramirez of Navarre, their children:
  Roger IV, Duke of Apulia, b. 1152; d. 1161; Eldest son. Twice in his short life he was the object of
  the barons' intent to replace his father as King. When he was made the duke of Apulia is unknown,
  probably after his father's assumption of power in 1154. In 1156, when he was three years old, barons
  opposed to Maio of Bari began to consider removing not only the emir, but also the King, and putting
  Roger on the throne. While a minor, the barons would be free from meaningful royal control. In 1161, after
  the successful assassination of Maio, the rebels paraded the nine year old Roger through the streets,
  announcing his succession and heralding his coming coronation in the Cathedral of Palermo. However, the
  populace instead supported the succession claims of Simon, erstwhile Prince of Taranto, the King's
  illegitimate half-brother. The people rebelled and the palace was stormed. In the ensuring battle, young
  Roger was killed, by a wayward arrow to the eye. There is an alternative theory. His three sons:
      Robert, IV, Duke of Apulia, (1152-1161) He died young; killed by a wayward arrow in his eye.
          Eldest son
     William II, The Good, King of Sicily (1166-1189), had a son:
          Bohemond, Duke of Apulia (1181)
     Henry, Prince of Capua (1166-1172), He came down with a High Fever and died within a month.
 Roger (IV) Prince of Capua, b. 1152; d. 1161. He died three years later, around 1160. He was
 technically the third Robert of Capua. His younger brother Henry was made Prince of Capva in his place.
Robert
William, II, of Sicily, b. 1155; d. Nov 1189; without children; he was called The Good, was King of Sicily
  from 1166 to 1189; His character was very indistinct, lacking in military enterprise, secluded and pleasure-
  loving. He seldom emerged from his palace life at Patermo yet his reigh is marked by an ambitious foreign
  policy and a vigorous diplomacy champion of the Papacy and in secret league with the Lombard cities. He
  was able to defy the commond enemy, Frederick I Barbarossa. William II was only eleven years old at the
  death of his father William I, when he was placed under the regency of his mother, Margaret of Navarre.
  In 1174, and 1175 William made treatries with Genoa and Venice and his marriage in Feb 1177 with Joan,
  daughter of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, marks his high position in European Politics.
  This was not his first attempted marriage, to the hand of a Byzantine Princess.
      His son, Bohemond, Duke of Apulia (1181)
Henry (Arricus or Arrico). Prince of Capua, b. 1158; d. 1172; youngest and second surviving son. By his
  father's will he succeeded to the title Prince of Capua, an appanage to the throne, while his brother William
 succeeded to the throne. Henry's coronation as prince was postponed from the death of his father (1166).
 He was present with William at Taranto, where the young King awaited his Greek bride. He came down
 with a high fever, he died within a month; was buried in chapel of Mary Magdalene but later moved by
 by brother to M__________ burial resting place most of his family were buried at.
Children of King Roger II and Elvira of Castile are:
1. Roger III, Duke of Apulia, Norman, from 1135; eldest son late in 1140, Roger's wife-to-be, Isabella,     arrived from the court of her father, Theobald II, of Champagne. Roger's most famous consort, however, was his mistress, Emma, the daughter of Richard II, Count of Lecce, with whom he had 2 illegitimate children. 1148, barely 30, Duke Roger died an unknown death in an unknown location. Mourned by
Arab Poet Abu ed-Daw; Roger was buried in Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene later transferred to chapel
near San Giacomo.
2. Tancred of Hauteville (c. 1119-1138), (second son), bastard son, Count of Lecce and King of Sicily

He was named by his father to replace the rebellious Grimoald, Prince of Capua, one of his father's chief men on the peninsula, while the King himself remained mostly in Sicily. He died young in 1138 and William, his other brother, inherited his estates and titles.

He was the fourth son; he grew up with little expectation of Ruling. The deaths of his three brothers changed matters, though when his father died William was still not well-prepared to take his place was interred in Palermo Cathedral he was later removed to monreale

"Spotsylvania-Orange Co.,Virgi"nia is considered to be the ancestral home of the "Endfield Wallers".
www.alleylaw.net/vaspotsylvania.html
Immigrant founders of this large important branch was Colonel John Waller. Tens of thousands of Waller
descendants living in the U.S can trace their roots to this individual.  "Endfield Wallers"-this story was
published in "The Va. Mag. of History and Biography" and through the use of microfilm.
"John Waller, Immigrant Ancestor- the coat of arms dates back to the 14th century. An Augmentation was granted after the battle of Agincourt, in 1415, by King Henry V, to Sir Richard Waller of that day for his valiant service in that battle. John Waller who came from Newport Pagnall, County Buckingham, England, in 1635, then a youth of nineteen. He married Mary Key, and became the progenitor of the Waller Families on the North Side of the James River in Virginia, and po'ssibly of some of those on the South side. John Waller settled in what is now Spotsylvania County. The old records tell of Colonel John Waller, who, in 1702, was Sheriff of King & Queen County, VA, Justice of King William Co., VA in 1705, and a member of the House of Burgesses in 1719. The act creating Spotsylvania County was passed in 1720, and in 1722 Colonel John Waller become the first Clerk of the County. He was succeeded in that office by his son, Edmund, who was the second clerk, and who was succeeded by his younger brother, John, who was the third clerk. The youngest child of Colonel John Waller was Benjamin Waller, who settled in Williamsburg,
VA, and became a celebrated Judge. Edmund's son Benjamin, father of Rev. Absalom Waller, named his place "Newport", after his home in England. Judge Benjamin Waller appears as a vestryman of old Bruton Parish in Williamsburg, VA. The old records show marriages between the Wallers, the Carters, the Pendletons, the Tazewells, the Pages, and numerous other historic families of the State.
Rev. John and Absalom Waller were among the most eminent Baptist Church ministers. In 1769, John Waller built in Spotsylvania the church which, since that time, has been known as Waller's Baptist Church.
Absalom Waller received his first educational training in private educational training in private schools, followed by four years at a preparatory school at Keswick, Albemarle Co., VA; from which he went to the University of Virginia, and was graduated from that great school in 1881. For a few years after his graduation, he taught school in his native county and at Gordonsville; and then entered the Columbia University in the city of Washington, now know as George Washington University, and was graduated from its Law Department in 1887. Admitted to the Bar in 1888, he has since been active in the practice of law in the city of Washington, and in Spotsylvania County. Mr. Waller was a lover of high class reading. The Bible
and Shakespear take first place with him. Next to them he rates Addison and classical English literature. He
was twice married." "Col. John Waller, the second son of Dr. John Waller and Mary Pomfrett, was born
at Newport-Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England on 23 Feb 1673. About 1696, while yet in his treaties, Col.
John came to Virginia and purchased 1039 acres of land from Elias Downs, located in Pamunkey Neck, on the Mattaponi River in what was to become King William Co.,VA, in 1701. On this land, he established his plantation home which he called "Endfield". Col. John Waller married Dorothy King about 1797 or 1698. He was made Justice of the Peace in the new county in 1701 and was Sheriff in 1702. He became a Major of Militia in 1704, and was elected to the House of Burgesses for the term 1710-1714 and for another
term from 1720-1722. It would appear that Col. John had acquired additional land in the Western part of
King Wm. Co., which ended up in the new county of Spotsylvania when the county was organized in 1720. In 1722 he became the first Clerk of the new county of Spotsylvania, and office that would remain in his
family for three generations, as 2 sons and 2 grandsons served the county. In 1723, Col. John moved his home to Spotsylvania Co., calling the new plantation "Newport". He was succeeded as County clerk in 1742 by his son, Edmund. He was made a vestryman of St. George Parish, Spotsylvania Co., in 1745, and a Trustee of the new city of Fredericksburg in 1747. He died in 1754." There is a Waller researcher
interested in Spotsylvania county. His name is William R. Scott and he is descendant of William Waller,
(1714-1760). William Waller was a son of Col. John Waller, the original "Endfield Waller".
R.D. "Rex" Lewis is a descendant of Benjamin Waller, Jr. and several of his children moved to Fayette
Co., TN before the Civil War. Another Waller researcher, Roy F. Waller, is a descendant of Benjamin
Waller (1716-1786), fifith child of Colonel John Waller. TAZEWELL connections. Roy F. Waller's Page.
Wallers researchers, Charles F. Crabtree & Marilyn (Crabtree) Sanderlin are descendants of Mary
Waller (1698-1781), daughter of Col. John Waller. They are brother and sister who share a home page.

  John Waller (1741-1802), he was a persecuted Baptist minister, planter, Va. Aristocrat; born : Dec 23, 1741 in Spotsylvania Co.,VA; he descended from an ancient English family; although he was intended for the law, he elected not to complete his training. Instead, because of the lack of funds, he turned to gambling. His
ne'er-do-well attitude and bad-penny antics earned him his nickname "The Devil's Adjutant". In the mid-1760's, Separate Baptist ministers from North Carolina began preaching and proselztizing in Virginia. Because they refused to obtain licenses, many were arrested and confined to jail. John Waller sat on the grand panel that convicted Lewis Craig. According to Waller, Craig's testimony struck at his own heart. Waller began attending the Baptist's gatherings. Before long, he was facing his own crisis of faith. Despite his lifelong Anglican upbringing, John Waller was baptized by Lewis Craig into the Baptish faith. Two years later, he was ordained into the ministry. Waller began attending the Baptist's gatherings. Before long, he was
facing his own crisis of faith. Despite his lifelong Anglican upbringing, John Waller was baptized by Lewis
Craig into the Baptist faith. Two years later, he was ordained into the ministry.
Like many baptist preachers, Waller faced innumerable acts of physical violence against him while preaching. In one incident, Waller was jerked down from the stage and his head was pounded into the ground. Another
time, he was flailed twenty times with a cowhide whip. These acts of evidence were a normal course of Baptist ministers before 1776. Waller spent 117 days of his life in dank, moldy, flea-infested, also before
religious freedom was granted to Virginians. Moreover, Waller was a man of strong convictions. This explains why, in August 1775, at a Separate Baptist Association meeting, he openly declared and expounded his views on arminian doctrinal principles. Despite finding many allie within the Baptist ranks, he also found many who were incomplete opposition (Calvinists). Waller was not able to convince the majority to his way of thinking so he formerly withdrew from the Association. Waller's independency last until 1782.
During that time, he devoted his exertions to establishing a ministry based on arminian principles. He preached. He baptized converts. He established churches. He ordained ministers. His parish included the
counties of Spotsylvania, Amelia, King & Queen, Caroline and Middlesex. He held America's first camp meetings. During Waller's ministerial career, he baptized 2000, ordained 27 and constituded 18 churches.
Many of these churches still exist in the 21st Century. During Waller's ministerial career, he baptized 2000,

                                                           The Morrison Observatory, Glasgow, MO.
Dr. Lyon G. Tyler:
    DEAR SIR: At your request, I send a part of the record contained in the Old family bible of my grandfather, Carr Waller. Some explanation is due by way of introduction. In Hayden's Virginia  Genealogies, Excursus-Waller, pp. 382-'3, among the descendants of Col. John Waller, Gentleman, first clerk of Spotsylvania Co.,VA., the family record of Thomas Waller, one of his grandsons, is given. The oldest son of that family, Carr Waller, named from the family of his grandmother, Agnes (Carr) Waller, is stated to have died single. This seems to imply that he never was married. In fact, he was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Martin, daughter of Gen. Joseph Martin, of Henry County, Virginia, and his second wife was Miss. Susanna Edwards, daughter of Ambrose Edwards, of Henry County, and niece of Gen. Martin. The reason that so little was known to the genealogists of the family of Carr Waller is that soon after attaining his majority, he left the old family seat in Spotsylvania, and settled in the newly organized county of Henry. Here he married and settled in life. In 1842 he removed with his son Hon. Joseph Granville
Waller, to Warren County, MO., where he died May 7, 1843. His old family bible, with the record in his own fair handwriting, was left by his will to the writer, the oldest grandson," Carr Waller Pritchett
"My father, Mr. Thomas Waller, was born Jul 29, 1732, and departed this life February 10, 1787. O.S.
My mother, Sarah Dabney, was born Oct 2, 1740, and departed this life Jan. 10, 1822, aged 81 years, 3 months, and 8 days. Carr Waller was born March 12, 1769; Elizabeth Martin, wife of Carr Waller, was born October 13, 1768, and departed this life June 11, 1805.
Susanna Edwards, wife of Carr Waller, was born December 25, 1775, and departed this life September 19, 1831, aged 55 years and 8 months.
Pomfrett Waller, Sen., was born Jan. 20, 1747, and departed this life June 20, 1799.
Martha Waller departed this life June 20, 1813
Pomfrett Waller, Jun., was born May 8th, 1775, and departed this life April 29th, 1814."
"Family Records Pg. 119"
"Dabney Waller was b. Feb. 20th, 1772
John Waller was b. 1780, and departed this life 1824; and departed this life 1824
Sarah Matilda Waller, dau. of Carr Waller and Elizabeth his wife, was born Jul 23, 1797, Elizabeth Carr Waller's wife, was born Jun 17, 1802.
Patsy Myra Waller, dau. of Carr Waller and Elizabeth his wife, was born Dec 23, 1803."
NOTES:
"Dabney, Pomfrett, Jun., and John were brothers of Carr Waller, Pomfrett, Sen., was his uncle. Dabney Waller died at the old family seat, Cedar Point, on the North Anna River, June 6, 1849.
Martha Waller was the wife of Pomfrett Waller, Sen., as sppears from the will of Pomfrett Waller, Sen., on record in Spotsylvania County. She was also the sister of Gen. Joseph Martin, as appears from her will on record in Henry County, VA. Some of the genealogists have confounded Pomfrett Waller, Sen., with Pomfrett Waller, Junior, and have placed the death of the former in 1814. Sarah Matilda Waller married Henry Edwards Junee 12, 1814. She died in St. Charles County, MO., about 1879, of her ten children, six daughters and four sons, three arrive. The late Judge William Waller Edward was her oldest son.
Dr. William Ida Waller, gained distinction as a physician, but afterwards became a prominent member of the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Protestant Episcopal Church, and was for some years president of Shelby College, Kentucky. He died in Louisville, KY, in 1878. He married Miss Mariah Norval, of Lynchburg. Rev. Granville Carr Waller, of Louisville, KY, is one of their surviving children.
  1. Joseph Granville Waller married Miss Virginia McDonald Jan. 8, 1822. He moved to Missouri from          Henry
   Co., VA, in 1842. He moved to Missouri from Henry Co.,VA in 1842. For many years he was presiding
   Judge of the county court of Warren County. He d. about 1860. Three of his ten children survived. His
   youngest daughter Eliza, with her husband and five children, perished in the great disaster at Galveston
   last September.
 2. Martha Myra Waller (written Patsy by her father) married Henry Pritchett, Oct. 23, 1822. She died Nov.
  23, 2857. The writer is the oldest of her ten children, of whom five now survive."

"The Mchone Family also claims they have found no trace of the name in Northern Ireland. In theory, if the Mchones emigrated from Scotland to Ireland before they came to America, there would be some record somewhere. The next theory was the family crossed to America directly from Scotland. A man named MacNeil offered to bring as many families as would join him when he emigrated to America in the 1700s. He sold all his possessions, bought a ship, and arrived in America, so there must be records somewhere of how many families left local ports between Barra Island (in the Hebrides) and Wilmington, North Carolina. Was Sackfield McHone part of that group? What if the name McHone no longer exits in Scotland, because the entire male population went to America? On the post on Ancestry.com.uk the McHone family may have come from Islay with Lachlan Campbell in 1739-1741. Family Legend says "we came to New York first, leased our land there for 100 years and came south to Virginia/Kentucky. First found Sackville Mchone in 1745 in New Kent County, Virginia. His father may have been William, his son was Archelaus. In the mountains of Scotland's west coast and on the Hebrides Islands, the ancestors of the McHone family were born. Their name comes from the given name Ian or John. John is the most common personal name in the Highlands. The Gaelic form of the name is Maclain. Origins: Mchone has been spelled Maclan, MacAne, MacKane, Maclean, MacKain and others. A family seat from early times and their first records appeared in the early census rolls taking by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. The scottish surname McHone is a rare form of the name MACANGUS. The name is also spelt Makanys, McKinis, McYniss, MacHans, Macangus and Maccanish. The name was a baptismal name 'the son of Angus'. The use of fixed surnames or descriptive names appears to have commenced in France about the year 1000, and such names were introduced into Scotland through the Normans alittle over one hundred years later, although the custom of using them was by no means common for many years afterwards. During the reign of Malcolm Ceannmore (1057-1093) the latter directed his chief subjects, after the custom of other nations, to adopt surnames from their territorial possessions, and there created. The first erlis that euir was in Scotland.' At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armour. Early records of the name mention Duncan Makagus, who was recorded in 1492, and Gilbert M'Kinshe was recorded in 1628. John MacHans was recorded in wig town in 1662, and Christian M'Canish was documented in Easter Dumfallandie in 1689. There were no Mahones in the Lowlands. Marriage records found for Hones and Mahones in Ireland. The earliest was 1656 at St. Michan in Dublin, and the latest was 1709 at St.John in Limerick. Could there be a birth or baptism certificate that will help us establish whether Sackville and his brothers were born in the Old World or the New World? The McHones and Mahone families were not in Northern Ireland, and therefore not likely to have been in the group of Scots who migrated to Northern Ireland to homestead land. Meaning...possibly not Scot? All this comes back to Captain MacNeil and his offer to transport all takers to America a few years before Archibald McHone was Sackville and his brothers, and his wife and two children."

 Sackville Mahone/McHone, b. 1708 in New Kent Co.,VA had two sons:
    1. Major Willis Mahone, b. in England; d. 1805 James City County, Virginia, (the Major was his given             name, not a title)
    2. Archibald (Archilus) Mchone/Mahone, b. 1745 in New Kent Co.,VA
There was also a Daniel Mahone born in England, 1765. http://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ewingfamilyassociation/S03tqy_rOP4 "Finding the origins of the name Mchone, which is my maiden name"-this is written by Tess Lambrecht. "The earliest ancestor she find is Sackville Mchone, also found as M'hone and Mahone. M'hone just means "Mac" is abbreviated. His recorded history begins in New Kent County Virginia but we do not know where he was born. He apparently traveled up the James River around 1747 to be a plantation overseer for a man name Payne in an area that a few years later was formed into Bedford County Virginia. He moved to Halifax Co.,VA around 1755 and records on him disappeared around 1758, during the time of the French and Indian War. Two of his children were kept by a Manning family in New Kent County, Virginia, their upkeep paid for by the Blisland Parish church. But one of them was not Arche. His son Archelaus was around 12 years old, deemed "a poor orphan" and was bound out in 1758 by the parish church court in Bedford County. He grew up in Bedford, served in the militia, fought in the Revolutionary War and became a carpenter. He married Magdalena Bridgman in Bedford around 1768 and moved to North Carolina after the Revolution with his family. "From questioning members of various clans who put up Clan Tents at  Scottish Festivals, I have been told that Mchone is part of an ancient clan of Angus. Never heard of an Angus clan, but there was an Angus who was leader of the McDonnells. She cannot prove any of this but it is what she discovered on her search. She had attempted to find out if they came from the Isle of Islay around 1739-41, but if they were a part of Captain Campbell's diaspora, but if he was part of it, the name been spelled in a different way (phonetically). Nearly every Mchone found in America and traced by her, is a part of her family. Apparently, out ancestor's family was very small."-Linda Mchone Spiker.
