I am seeking information on Walter GUILL
also
listed in the Pittsylvania
Co. Deed Bool as GULL and GUILD. On Page 183 of the P
D Book he appears
as a Witness to the transfer of property from William HARRISON to Ann
BURTON.
On Page 183 He is witness to transfer of property from William HARRISON
to William BURTON.
And on page 185 to transfer of property from William HARRISON to Josuah
BURTON. All occuring in Oct of 1794
I have an earlier record for him from Prince Edward Co. where he is
involved in a lawsuit to secure the freedom of Deborah PAYNE(aka Jenny)
who was sold to GUILL but claimed to be a "Free Neagro" from Maryland.
It appears that Walter had her file the suit and that he then recovered
cost from Thomas Leversey who initially sold her to a DAVENPORT, etc.

January 2 from Norman E. Simon, Jr.
William James Simon
was born circa 1879 or 1880. He married Mamie Pearl Bethel
(spouse 1) and they had 8 children: William "Willie,"
Vivian, Clarabell, Ruth, Roland (my paternal grandfather),
Moses, Clyde, and Richard. My father (Norman E. Simon)
tells me that my great-grandmother Mamie died during
childbirth having Richard. Also, my great grandfather
William served in the U.S. Army in 1900 and was stationed
in the Phillipine Islands. In 1910, he was back in Danville
as a 30 yo living @ 320 Calvary St. In the 1910 census it
states that he owned his house "free and clear," was
employed as an "insurance agent," and that Mamie Simon
was a "school teacher" in the public school system. He
was also a Minister at High St. Baptist Church.
Subsequently after my g-grandmother Mamie died, Wm J.
re-married Daisy Epperson. He preceded her in death (I
don't know his death date) and she died in Aug 1972. Her
last residence at the time of death according to the SS
Death Index was a place (or street name) called Cascade,
Pittsylvania County, VA.

who
was born
in Pittsylvania Co., Va, January 5, 1782. She married first a
Billy
Condry (Condray). I have seen several different spellings
of this.
Billy was killed in an Indian massacre and Nancy then married Josiah
Smith Sr. also born in Pittsylvania Co., Va,
on December 9, 1789.
Josiah is the son of Harbert Smith, born in Brunswick Co., Va who later
moved to Marshall Co., Alabama. Josiah and Nancy lived and died
in
Grainger Co. (now Union Co.) Tennessee. Harbert's father was
William
Smith, also of Brunswick Co., Va. If anyone knows anything about

I have been trying to locate the death certificate of a "Frances Smith"
(woman) who died in Pittsylvania County in 1931-1934. She was
the wife
of William Smith and is buried in Greenview Cemetery, Reidsville, NC.
She was living with a married daughter in Pittsylvania when she died.
The funeral home in Reidsville has no record of a funeral then.
Also
the Richmond Vital Records (a pain in the behind office to deal with)
says they have no death record for a Frances Smith.
Can you help me out? She married William in Surry County, NC
in
1893
but began having children with him in 1871 while he was married to
a
Sarah ?.
I was told Frances was "given" to William by a Robert Payne of
Stokes
County in 1871. When their children were grown, they moved from
Surry
County, NC to Pittsylvania County, so I am ASSUMING William may have
originally been from Pittsylvania. I have not found his
parents.

by several
American Indian tribes at one time: the Tutelo, Occaneechi, Saponi,
Monacan and the Cherokee. Many of the Indians left the area in

Most of the

years ago. From her notes i find that my great great grandfather,
Henry Westbrook, was born Feb. 27,1773 in Pittsylvania County,
Va. He
mirgated to Barnwell Dist. S.C. where he married Mildred Anne Smith
daughter of John Smith and Sarah Smith. According to her notes
Henry's father was also named Henry. He was a Revolutionary War
soldier (4th Continental Line) . He had a brother , Allen
Westbrook,
who fought on the 6th C. L.. My mother has also noted that
according
to other census records 1782 that Henry had 6 dependents one of whom
was the Henry that migrated to S.C.Although my mother had a good deal
of information on our family, she did not keep references to where
the
information came from.
John Smith died in 1799 leaving his wife Sarah , a married daughter
Mildred Anne Smith Westbrook. a son Edmund Smith, 3 minor children
Harriett, Pamela and Matilda.
His widow,Sarah, administered his estate aconsisting of land, personal
property and slaves until 1801, when she married Andrew Gray
Henry Westbrook with his wife and children along with Edmund Smith ,
Sarah Smith Gray and her children came to Mississippi in 1810. They
settled in Amite County , MS.
Henry and Mildred had 13 children one of whom was my great
grandfather,Edmund Smith Westbrook.Henry died in Amite County on Jan.
8, 1845 and Mildred died there on Nov. 17,1859.

between 1830 and 1840 in Ohio, USA. Around 1800 Pleasant and family came in
to the Ohio valley from Rutherford County, North Carolina. In 1803 (reported
to be 45 years old) he was in Scioto County, Ohio and was said to be a
notorious character. Supposedly, he tried to break up a fight between James
Bradley and the wife and children of James Quire (Squires). He ended up
shooting Mr. Quire (Squires). After this incident at the Licks, he was
driven out of that area. He is also said to have been a Tory during the
Revolutionary War. Pleasant was in GreenupCounty, Kentucky in 1820 and in
Lawrence County, Ohio in 1830, he did not appear in the 1840 census, so it
is believed he died between 1830-1840. Pleasant (Plesent) WEBB and Unknown
(Margaret BLACKWELL?) had the following children: James WEBB (1786), Elias
WEBB (1788), Thomas Hanley WEBB (1795), Aden WEBB (1797), Temperance WEBB
(1799), William WEBB (1801), Margaret WEBB (1806), Sarah (Sally) WEBB
(1809), and Baker WEBB (1811).

I am researching the Washam family and have

Peyton Washam and his wife Lucy _____ who moved
from Pittsylvania County, VA, to Western Kentucky
sometime between 1804 and 1820. All I know of him
is that he had a son, Peter, (my great-great-great
grandfather), born August 8, 1804, in Pittsylvania
County, and seven other children (not named) born
sometime before March, 1820, when he arrived in the
Panther Creek area in eastern Graves County, KY.
He and one son, Peter, had left wife Lucy and seven
other children in Princeton, KY, to go to Panther
Creek. They were to build a home and start planting
prior to bringing the rest of the family there. Peyton
died in July, 1820, after falling victim to some disease,
never seeing his wife and other children again.
I know the history of Peter Washam after that but I
have no information of the Washam family prior to their
move to Kentucky. I need information on Peyton and
Lucy's life in Virginia, their parents, children other than
Peter, etc.

I am searching for "Nancy" Anna H. HODGES, born 4 February
1788
(as
inscribed on her headstone in Holmes County, MS). My search led me
to VA
because I located a reference that Anna H. HODGES was the great-great
aunt
of former NC Governor (1954-1961) Luther H. HODGES. The NC State
Librarian
advised me that Governor HODGES was born in Pittsylvania County, VA.
That
is why I am contacting you. If you are able to locate a HODGES family
genealogy that includes Anna H. HODGES, born on 4 February 1788 (with
or
without mention of Governor HODGES), I would very much like to obtain
a
complete copy of it so I might learn who Anna's parents and siblings
were,
their associated dates, etc. Anna H. HODGES was my great-great-great
Maternal Grandmother. Thank you very much for your help.
Since I contacted you last week, I have
found out a bit more on the Hodges line in which Anna H. Hodges may
be
located. It is the line of descendancy described by the following
individuals:
Robert Hodges (b. 1737; d. 1832), father of ...
Elijah Hodges (b. ca 1786-1790; d. 1856, m. Judith Hodges **), father
of ...
Willis Townsend Hodges (b. 1831; d. 1907), father of ...
John James Hodges (b. 1860; d. 1936), father of ...
Luther Hartwell Hodges (b. 1898, Pittsylvania, VA; d. 6 Oct 1974).
** Judith was the daughter of another Robert Hodges (b. ca 1770; d. ca 1844)
Since Judith was born 4 Feb 1788, my current theory is that she may
have
been sister to either Elijah Hodges or Judith Hodges considering she
was
born in 1788.
Do any of these names ring a bell with you? Please let me know one
way
or
the other. I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Floyd County, or some other county or what county she was from. Riley
