CROSS / COGDELL
Cross, Joseph I show a Jacob Crosswith father Joseph in my line (Joseph Jr. is Jacob's
brother), and traced them back to Hanover County. However my info on Joseph shows he was
born in 1747 Loudon Co.,VA d: Jan 15, 1842 Buncombe Co.,NC. But the VA Library archives
show what appears to be the same Joseph as dying in 1797, a year that he supposedly
married Sarah Ann Cogdell. Jacob b. 1792 d. ? so if his father married her she wasn't his
mother. Any of you that could help clarify this Cross line will be appreciated. I do not
have a copy of the will and info from the VA archives yet, and I'm sure it will help.

Colonies. I would appreciate any assistance. I have all of William Hunter's children's

descendants I have several pages of info. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

sailors and marines, 1775-1783. Ed. By John H. Gwathmey. Richmond, Va. 1938. (13,
872p.):344

Graves when they lived in Louisa Co., VA. Later they removed to Woodford, Fayette, &
Franklin Cos., KY and finally to Butler Co., OH. John is believed on circumstantial
evidence to have been the s/o Benjamin & Mary (Beadles) Hancock of Hanover Co., VA. It
appears John never collected a pension based on his Revolutionary War Service. Seeking
confirmation of his ancestry and siblings. Austin HANCOCK, s/o Benjamin & Mary
(BEADLES) HANCOCK, served in the Revolutionary War and appears to have received a pension
for his services. Austin lived his entire life in Louisa Co., VA. He is believed (on
circumstantial evidence) to have been a brother of the above (Capt.) John Hancock & a
brother of the Joseph Hancock mentioned in his pension abstract. For further information,

GOOCH
I am seeking assistance to find Thomas W. Gooch's family in Virginia 1750 -1820, in
Hanover, Louisa or Albemarle counties. In addition to posting a Query I seek professional
and/or voluntary research assistance. Refer to the attached:
Thomas W. died in 1862 in Pope Co., AR. The search of records in Arkansas and Pope Co.
show no record of Thomas W., but many records were destroyed in this area during the Civil
War. Searching for Thomas W.'s parents have produced nothing to date. At least two NC
families had sons by the name of Thomas but there is sufficient information to conclude
neither was Thomas W. of Orange Co., NC. They are: Thomas the son of Daniel Gooch of
Granville Co. and Nancy Sneed. Thomas the son of Rowland Gooch of Granville Co. who
married Jemima Hester in 1803. There were no Thomases in Orange Co., NC censuses in 1810
or 1820.
There were Thomasís in VA that could be the Thomas W. of NC, or his father, including the
following:
Thomas W. Albemarle Co., VA in 1810, 1820 & 1830 Censuses, but not 1840! Thomas of
Louisa Co., VA in 1820 & 1830 Censuses but not 1840! Thomas, one of 12 children of
William Gooch of Hanover, VA (1739-1802) and Frances Rice (1740-1816) of Caswell, NC; they
were married in 1762. This Thomas would have married at age 37, fathered Thomas L. at 71?
Query: Where did Thomas W. of Orange Co., NC come from and who were his parents?
If you have information about the Gooch families of VA please contact me.

I am interested in the relationships of these names and if they are perhaps related to the

GUILL / CRENSHAW /
Hanover Co., VA:
Can anyone help fill out the following information and how far back the two
families(Crenshaw and Guill) go together. I think knowing the movements of the related
families might help me search for Guills - especially problem people like Lee Alexander or
my personnal favorite the appearing and dissapearing Walter and John.
So I'll start with the Crenshaw family:
1. Nicholas Crenshaw married Mary Carr in Hanover Co. VA in 1754.
2. William Crenshaw married Sarah Baker in Louisa Co., VA in 1783 I
believe they later lived in Lunenburg and in Halifax Counties.
3. Martha Crenshaw married Joseph T. Guill in Halifax Co. in 1855

died there in 1843. However as he was born circa. 1765 in Goochland Co, son of Samuel
Lemay, he was married late in life. I'd like to know of any other marriages by him or
other Lemays. Sally was daughter of Henry Arnall. lemayll@juno.com Lester LeMay, Tempe AZ 13 Feb 1999

WEST / FIKE
I am seeking information on the ancestry of a family of Wests which probably resided in
the portion of Hanover County that eventually became Louisa County, VA. Specifically, I am
researching the lines of William West (1752-1842), who was probably a native of the
Hanover/Louisa area, his brother, James West (1756-1811) of the same approximate area, and
Amos West (1766-1819), who was born in Green Springs, Louisa County, VA. Other siblings
include Leonard West (1760-1842) of Granville County, NC, Richard West (1764) supposedly
from Louisa County, VA, and Agness West (1762-1842) of the VA/NC border. Amos' father,
whose name is presently unknown, was a wealthy Virginia planter and merchant. His
grandmother was an English lady of noble descent. The only singular piece of information
relating to these parents is that they died early deaths, and their children were reared
by a maiden aunt, Miss Lucy Fike, of Orange County, NC. She is supposedly the daughter of
John Thomas and Elizabeth Fike of Hanover County, VA. Does anyone have any knowledge of
these families? I would greatly appreciate any information and would gladly expound upon
what is written here for those interested. bmwest@usit.net Ben West 18 Jan 1999

ANTHONY / DIGGS / KEEN / PRICE
I am looking for the parents of Elizabeth Price Anthony who m. John Diggs Feb. 1813 in
Louisa Co., VA. Marr. Reg. Vol. 1, p. 151. Nathaniel Anthony, Jr. was surety, and Lewis
Anthony was one of the three witnesses. What relationship were Nathaniel and Lewis to
Elizabeth (Betsy)? She was 61 yrs. old in the 1850 U.S. Census, Louisa Co., VA. She died
14 Oct. in her "66th year," (probably 1855--her obituary did not give the
year of death).
There is a marriage record for Nathaniel Anthony and Nancy Keen at Louisa County,
Virginia 22 October 1789, p. 47. I have been told that Nathaniel Anthony and a Miss Farmer
were Elizabeth's parents--no documentation was given. Does anyone know the children
of Nathaniel and Nancy and/or the children of Nathaniel and Miss Farmer? Does anyone
have a record of Elizabeth Price Anthony in their Anthony records?
I am also interested in Price as her middle name. This family is noted for using a
mother's or grandmother's maiden name as the first two names of a new daughter. I feel
that there is an Elizabeth Price in her ancestry. Can anyone identify her parents and
grandparents? Family oral history is that the family came from Hanover Co., VA. It may
have been both the Anthony and Diggs families who came from that area or only one. The
Diggs' family was in Louisa Co. for the birth of John and maybe for his father,Thomas.

FORD / ENGLAND /WRENCH
My 3rd great-grandfather was John Ford Sr., b. 1762 in Albermarle County, Va. He married
Elizabeth England in April 1785 and they move to Eastern Tenn. by 1801/02. His parents
were supposedly living Hanover Co., VA. at one time; also some of his siblings, names
unknown, may have remained in the Hanover County area. Some names of men who may be his
father were Timothy W. Ford , Tandy (Lewis) Ford , Bartlett, William, and John Ford , but
nothing else to go on. John Ford Sr. received a Rev. War pension for his service. Will
share any data I have. gfordellman@tyler.net Glynda
