I am looking for information on the family of Jeremiah White.
Here is what I know:
According to the "History of Pittsylvania County" Jeremiah and his family
moved from Dinwiddie County to eastern Pittsylvania in 1778.
He is probably the Jeremiah White that purchased land on Sweeting's
Fork of
Sandy Creek in Pittsylvania County in 1780 (Grant Book D, p.135) and
1783
(Grant Book H p.606).
Jeremiah's wife's name was Jane. Two of Jeremiah and Jane's grandchildren
had the middle name Stainback/Stanback - I believe that might indicate
that
this is Jane's maiden name.
I believe that this Jeremiah White is the one mentioned in Methodist
Bishop
Francis Asbury's diarys - one of Jeremiah's daughters married the son
of
Joel Mabry, who was also mentioned in those diarys and was a prominent
member of the Methodist church.
Jeremiah White left a will in Pittsylvnia County (1788) from which much
of
the information about his descendents is derived.
Descendants of Jeremiah and Jane White (8 children):
A daughter White (first name unknown) who married Braxton Mabry.
They had 3 children:
Robert Smith Mabry born 27 Oct 1777 married Rebecca Adams
(married 1899 Pittsylvania County)
Jane Stanback Mabry married John Clark Merwin/Martin
(married 1902 Pittsylvania County)
Polly Braxton Mabry married Richard Mabry (a cousin)
(married 1899 Greensville County)
Their mother died about
1788 and Braxton remarried to Nancy Day
(note that Smith was
the name of Braxton's mother)
William Jeremiah White, family unknown
John Hamilton White, family unknown
Robert White, family unknown
Nancy White, family unknown
Mary White, married Mr. Hardaway, children unknown
Jane White, married William Clark, 8 children
William Stainback Clark
married Martha Redd

Martha Clark
John Augustine Clark married
Elizabeth Fowlkes
Mary Clark married James

battle than Col. R. W. Martin, still no braver than

I have a mystery man named Moses Overton. He was born ca 1816
in
Lunenburg Co., VA I think. He married Louzina Hankins
in 1837 in
Pittsylvania Co., Va and was listed on the 1850 census. His wife was
listed on the 1860 Henry Co., VA census as head of household..so I
assume he died during the decade but can find no death record, or any
other record of him. Does anyone out there have a clue??? Moses and
Louzina had 12 children:
Elizabeth(b. 1839); William T. (1840-1909) m. Susan Eanes 1866;
Tabitha,
Moses Jr.(b.1846, m. Mary Stephens 1867), Mary, Martha Ann(b.1850),
James, Edward, Sally, Amanda(b.1856),Letitia, and my ancestor John
Holm
Overton(1853-1946).
Louzina Hankins was the dau of Reuben Hankins and Betsy
Covington(m.1800, Pittsylvania Co.). Reuben was the son
of William
Hankins, who was the son of Daniel Hankins(Sherrif of Pittsylvania
Co.,
VA late 1700's)

of George and Elizabeth's children are known to be: Mary Robertson

This Fitzgerald family has several Dodson marriages and Dodson descendant
marriages. In addition there has been and still are regular intermarriages
between this family and the Dodson. The first wife of John Fitzgerald,
Senior, is unknown. His second wife, Jane Holloway, was a daughter
of James
Holloway of Pittsylvania Co., Va. In placing the children it
is obvious from
deeds, marriages, censuses, etc. where most of them go as far as which
wife
they belong to, but getting them in order is something else, so the
list is
only tentative as far as placement, however the names of all 18 children
are
here. B. R. Randolph.
There is a family tradition among the descendants of Edmond Fitzgerald
(who
married Millicent Payne) that Edmond was born on the "high seas"and
it is
presumed that John, Sr., Matthew, Christopher, and Garrett Fitzgerald
of
Pittsylvania and Halifax Cos., Va. are brothers or close relatives
of Edmond.
It is possible this group of Fitzgeralds is descended from Garrett
Fitzgerald,
Sr. first mentioned in Rappahannock Co., Records (later Essex and Richmond
Cos.) as early as the 1680's. There is much that needs to be
done on this

Looking for clues to help me find the siblings and parents of William
Lynch
born in 1742. Lived and owned considerable property in
Pittsylvania County.
He was involved in the government there. His first wife
was Elizabeth.
Second wife was Anne Moon Stone. She was the daughter
of Gideon Moon and the
widow of Ashford Stone who was killed in the Rev. War. William
and his
family moved to Pendleton SC around 1819. He died in SC and was
a Captain in
the Rev. War.
This is not the Brunswick Co William with 34 children. There are

Moon Stone
was married to the Captain William Lynch of Pittsylvania Co. who died
in SC.
