Mauger, jure uxoris Count of Corbeil was the third[1] son of Richard I of Normandy, and ruled as Count of Corbeil through his wife Germaine de Corbeil, daughter of Aymon, Count of Corbeil.[2] "Corbeil" is thought to be the modern Corbeil-Essonnes on the River Seine about 17 miles south-east of Paris.[3]
Mauger was a son of Richard I, Duke of Normandy and his second wife, Gunnora.[4] He was a younger brother of duke Richard II and uncle of duke Robert I.[4] He married in the year 1012, Germaine de Corbeil, daughter of Aymon, Count of Corbeil, and his wife Elizabeth. He was supposedly linked to Emperor Otto through the marriage of his disputed son, Hamon, to Hedwig the widow of Hugh the Great and sister of the emperor.[5]
His children were:
William "Werlenc", Count of Mortain (disputed[6])
Hamon Dentatus[5] (disputed[7])

Member of Parliment for Lancashire. It is possible that Henry was brother instead of son of William. This would explain why the title skipped Henry and went to William (supposedly his son).

Looking for any info. on G.F. Cherry. 1880 census list him in Bibb Co. Ga. and occupation as Sheriff. One of his children was Thomas H. Cherry my great-grandfather. The census said his father was born in North Carolina. Anything would be helpful. Thanks Terry

Yes, I'm glad to see someone connect to our ggrandfather.
George F. was also in Civil War, if you haven't looked up his records, they are on line, as well. I will contact you by email with some more information. But we were told all of our life and my dad's and aunt's that George F., the sheriff was our ggrandfather, married several times, widowed and lots of children. Your Thomas must be one of them. My gfather (Lawrence or Lorenzo) Dowe Cherry was one of last children.
George F.'s father is Lemuel from N.C., also told to family. And on these census', you will find him, appears to be one born in 1810, married to Rebecca Dean. George F. was born in 1835 in Ga.

COMMENTARY ON 1870 CENSUS DATA: The identities of Francis, the 19 year old female and Anna the 8 month old child, are not know at this time. Also, some of younger children in the 1870 census are not shown in the 1880, Tulare Co., CA, census. Their whereabouts is an unanswered question at this time. It just seems unusual that none of their children are living with them 10 yrs. later.

The Rainey Family Cemetery is located within Sandy Beach Park, which is part of the Lake Tobesofkee Recreation Area.
It was surveyed in 1957 by the LDS church and was observed to have 8 marked graves and many unmarked graves totaling about 40 graves altogether. The property was also known as the Dickson burial grounds.
The property was owned by J.W. Edwards and condemned to build Lake Tobesofkee. Bibb County knew the cemetery was there but through the years the area was leveled and grassed over. There were only field stones to mark the head and foot of graves but that was destroyed.
June 21 2012
Bibb county hired an archaeologist and used ground Penetrating Radar to locate the burials.
February 5 2013
Bibb county has surveyed and staked the 4 corners of the cemetery. Getting ready to install granite corner post.
Currently working to collect donations from family members to erect a marker with known burials listed. | RAINEY, Theodosia Ann (I69888)

Mr. Carlos Augusto da Rosa and Mr. Samuel Macomber Churn founded Vibro Piling Company Hong Kong in 1929. Initially Vibro was a small company employing a few staff and only focused on piling projects in Hong Kong.
The term "Vibro" is an abbreviation of Vibro Piling System. In the 1920s Mr. A. Hiley, a British structural engineer with British Steel Piling Company, invented the Vibro Piling System. In 1929 Mr. Carlos Augusto da Rosa and Mr. Samuel Macomber Churn succeeded in getting the operation rights of the Vibro Piling System in Hong Kong and the Vibro Piling Company Limited was founded. In 1964 the Company?s name was changed to Vibro Piling and International Foundation Company Limited and was later changed to Vibro (H.K.) Limited in 1967, which it remains to this day. | CHURN, Samuel Macomber (I11354)

In Jan., 1648/49 was paid 20s for "setting up the minister's desk" and 6 pound for other. His wife Mary (perhaps a dau. of Mathew) --- ("History of Ancient Wethersfield" - Vol 1, Conn. State Library - Hartford)
This is a letter that was copied from the Jenning's file at the Hartford Historical Society on 3/3/95.
"I. JOSHUA JENNINGS. An early settler of Hartford; fined for a trivial offense, he left Hartford in 1650 and settled in Fairfield. Married at Hartford 22 Dec. 1647 Mary Williams. She m. (2) at Fairfield, 16 Dec. 1680, George Slawson of Stamford; with whom she made a marriage covenant dated 18 Nov. 1680. Will 25 Feb. 1674/5; to son Joshua, my carpenter, joiner, wheelwright and turning tools; to rest of my sons, JOSEPH, MICHAEL, JOHN, SAMUEL, MATTHEW and ISAAC," etc. (Jecobus.) Will of Mary Slawson 27 Mar. 1697; sons Matthew, Isaac ...dau.-in-law Hannah Jennings; son Joseph Jennings," etc. Ibid. 1943 Correction by Jacobus, p. 20 states: Joshua m. 23 (not 22) Dec. 1647, and gives line of Nehemiah Jennings of Weston.
A General History of the Jennings Family, by W.H. Jennings, Columbus, O. 1899, says: Joshua was b. about 1620 in England, d. 1675 Fairfield, Conn. He was found in Hartford eleven years after its founding, and left in 1650 by ship with his wife, going to Fairfield to Barlow's Plain, where he owned the Jennings Farm or Woods in West Parish, Fairfield, later called Greenfield Farms, a place composed largely of Jennings descendants.
The History of Fairfield, E.H. Schenck, 1889, p. 383, says: "Joshua Jenning's name appears at Hartford in 1648. 'At a particular Court held at Hartford 6 Sept. 1649, 'Joshua Jennings for not watching one night & other ill carriage to the Constable, is to pay to the watchman in his room, & is fined 2s 6d.' On the 3d of Nov. 1650 he again fell under the displeasure of the Court. It appears that he fled on board a ship lying in the Connecticut river from the fine imposed upon him, for which the Court fined Greenfell Lerreby 5L and Stephen Daniels for conveying him from the power of authority..He settled at Fairfield before 1656, where he always maintained an excellent reputat6ion. He lived at Barlow's Plain, and died leaving a good estate. ' His son Joshua settled at Green's Farms." Above shows that Joshua was a stiff-necked Puritan who could not be coerced and would rather leave his home than submit to a fine he objected to. See also Jennings Genealogy by Francis A. White, and American Family Antiquity by A.B. Jennings, from which W.H. Jennings took some material.
Schenck continues: "The heirs of Joshua Jennings for many years made fruitless efforts to establish a lawful claim to the vast estate of William Jennings of Action Plact, born in 1701, who d. 29 June 1798, leaving estates in eleven counties in England and millions in pounds sterling in nearly all the banks of London...The property of this rich William Jennings was claimed in part by the Baroness Howe, a daughter of the celebrated Admiral Howe, through a claim of intermarriage with the Jennings family with that of Curzens. The Earl Beuchamp or Becham also claimed heirship. Some clue in this way may be given to Robert Beacham or Beauchamp of early Greens Farms. This William Jennings was the only child of Robert Jennens and Ann...He was also a nephew of Sarah Jennings, a maid of honor and the favorite of Queen Ann, who married the great Duke of Marlborough."
On this subject, there is a printed "Report to the Jennings Association, U.S.A." by C. Smith and C.M. Fisher, in 1863 on the litigation involved. The reprot said the ancestry of Joshua could not be traced to England. It shows the Jennings coat of arms and has much genealogy and history on the Jennings of England, all important and wealthy people. (P. 18.) E.C. Hoagland, 1955, did "Some P rief Notes on the Jennings Family, " stating the name Jennings is the same as Jenkins and comes from Jenks. This refers to Joshua and the claim to the English estate of William J. of Acton Place. It says the parents of Mary Williams is unknown.
I looked up Stiles' Genealogy and Biographies of Ancient Wethersfield, VII, section on Williams. It says the first in Wehtersfield was Matthew and later Tomas came, the relation between them being unknown. P. 823 says Mathew Williams b. ca. 1605 in Wales, was supposed the eldest son of Richard Williams, who came from Glamorgan, Wales, with family 1620-21, claiming to be kin of Oliver Cromwell, which Richard also claimed, of Taunton, Mass. Richard Williams of Tauntonwas supposed to be father of Mathew and must be the one who m. Katherine Dighton, 2d wife of Gov. Thomas Dudley of Massachusetts. Mathew seems to have been at Watertown and came to Wethersfield, perhaps one of the 7 founders of Wethersfield before 1645. He had m. Susanna ______ previous to 1644, perhaps sister of James Cole. Children: only boys listed, Amos b. 1645-6 etc. There may be daughters. Thomas may be a brother of Mathew, who was in the Rocky Hill dist. 1661 and had grant on the river; also settled Branford. Children include MARY b. 1671 etc. (This could not be the wife of Joshua Jennings.)
Stiles' says Richard of Taunton perhaps had seven sons, though the records shows only four and 2 daus. Elizabeth and Hannah. P.460 says: "Jennings, Joshua, a joiner WT V1, 25, 20 Apl. 1647, his wife was Mary (perhaps a daughter of MATTHEW WILLIAMS) m. 23 Dec. 1647, removed to Fairfield. See Chapt. VII, also p.220, V.1, P.220. Joshua built the seats in the meeting house in Wethersfield and there is much information on this contract. Thomas Williams p. 314 was believed one of the earliest settlers at Rocky Hill with Joseph Smith as neighbor.
Jacobus p. 694, V.1. had: "Williams, Richard. One of the first settlers of Branford, 1645. He purchased land at Fairfield before 11 Aug. 1656...In 1677 he was living in New London County." He gives another p. 695: "WILLIAMS, THOMAS. Of Fairfield 1678, when with Thomas Jones he was fined for selling liquor to the Indians. He m. Ruth Bradley, dau. of Francis, "desc. given p. 1044.
* * * * * * * * *
The fact that Joshua Jennings and Mary Williams named a son Mathew may indicate a grandfather named Mathew Williams. Other children were Joseph, Mary m. Curtis, Samuel, John, Isaac b. abt. 1673, Elizabeth m. John Smith.
"HENDRICK, HENRY. A Dutchman, also called Hendrick Hendrickson, entered land at Fairfield, 31 Jan. 1655/6, previously purchased of William Hill. His wife Hannica also called Hannah m. (2) Daniel Silliman. Will 11 Mar. 1683/4 pr. 18 June 1684; wife Hannica alias Hannah, house for life...son Henrick, the home lot etc. Inv. 31 May 1684. "Henry was only son listed. (Jacobus p. 270.)
There is tradition in all the branches of the (Johsua) family that he, Joshua Jennings, came from England, Norfolk, Eng., with two brothers whose names they do not know.
That Joshua was a Saybrook at the mouth of the Conn river, before he came to Fairfield, and that his son, Joseph, was born at Saybrook, bet 1650-1660. Also the tradition is that one brother settled in Fairfield, Conn and on other in some part of the new England States, one in New Jersey or Long Island.
Extract of a letter dated Dec. 30, 1835 from the town clerk at Saytbrook, Conn. "it appears that Nicholas Jennings conveyed three or four pieces of land to John Say, and a dwelling house, Oct 28, 1661. It appears that Nicholas Jennings in the same (1661) year, at Saybrook, conveyed land, and that Joshua Jennings had land conveyed to him in the town of Fairfield.
As to the ages of the three brothers, Nicholas, John & Joshua.
Nicholas, born abt 1612 (22 in 1634); died 1673 at Saybrook, Conn.
John, born abt 1617 (18 in 1635); died 1675, Southampton, L.I., NY
Johsua, born abt 1620 (15 in 1635); died 1675, at Fairfield, Conn.
We do not know the name of the boat in which Joshua or John came over in, nor the father, John, but he would indicate that they could have been brothers, and that prob. Joshua and prob John came over with the father, John, while Nicholas, the eldest, came over in 1634, before the others, in 1635.
They all four, were in Hartford between 1630-49, as Joshua's family say, and in 1639 as John and Nicholas's record say, as they came over in 1635 & 1634 respectfully.
The record that there was a father, we have the following (where John sold upland over the long hill which he bought of Peter Boniface and he bought it of Nicholas Ginnings and was his father's, John Genning, his land contain by estimate five acres be it more or less".
Another tradition in the Johsua Jenning family:
That Joshua was a son of John Jennings, one of the proprietors of Hartford, Conn, "whose home lot in 1639, was on the brow of the hill, now Asylum Hill". It is thought that this, John, died not long after 1640.
From the Memorial History of Hartford, Conn, Vol.1 page 2301 we have:
Joshua Jennings, bought land in Hartford of Thomas Olcott, which was the west protion of Olcott's home lot, He was also owner of another piece of land with a house part of which he bought of Olcott, "abitting on the meeting house lot on the eastside of the highway on the south; and on Thomas Olcott's land on the west and north".
The brother, Nicholas who came over in 1634, in the "Francis of Ipswich", was 22 yrs of age, and removed to Saybrook, Conn. where in Oct. 1673, administration on his estate was given to son, John., we find "Jennings, Nicholas, Hartford, 1639, and Jennings, John, Hartforde, 1639. They were both in 1639, who were all prob. settlers in the town at that time.
We also find that John's gr. grandson was named Nicholas, Prob. after his brother Nicholas.
From "Original List of Passingers", 1600 to 1700, edited by Hotten, 1874, p. 141, we find:
"John Jennings, age 18, 1635. Passage
"Nicholas Jennings, age 22, 1634, Passage Francis of Ipswich.

This information came from the book, " Jennings, Davidson and Allied Families", By Lillie Pauline White, Pg. 9.
"Jennings, Joshua. An early settler of Hartford; fined for a trivial offense, he left Hartford in 1650 and settled in Fairfield. Married at Hartford, Dec. 22, 1647, Mary Williams.
From correspondenc with some members of the Jennings families of Fairfield, Conn., giving incormation furnished by George P. Jennings and others, we find that they have the following tradition in all branches of their family: That their ancestor, Joshua Jennings, was born in England about 1620; came to America before 1640; that on Dec 22, 1647, in Hartford; that he came from England with two brothers, whose names they do not know; that one brother settled in some part of New England states, another in Va., N. J., or Long Island, while Joshua finally settled in Fairfield, Conn. We are also told that Joshua lived for sometime at Saybrook, Conn., (where Nicholas also lived and died) and that his son Joseph was born there between 1650 and 1660.
It would appear, then, that the senior JOHN JENNINGS of Hartford is the one who is first mention as being there in 1639; that he was doubtless "One of the Proprietors of Hartford, Conn."- whose home was on the brow of the hill, now Asylum Hill"... "contained by estimate 2 acres be it more or less." That he had sons Nicholas (eldest) of Saybrook, Conn., John of Southampton (having embarked from Lynn, Mass.), and Joshua of Fairfield, Conn., and that these were the three brothers of the traditions held by the Joshua Jennings families.
Further corroboration of these assumptions was furnished in THE TRAVELER, of April 12, 1912, L. I., Note 1060. M.H.C., (Metta Horton Cook); "John Jennings came from Suffolk Co9., Eng., in 1639 and settled in Lee, Mass. He resided in Hartford, Conn., in 1657 and was on the list of inhabitants at Southampton, L.I., the same year." And we find in the HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND by Benj. Thompson, in 1843, p 328: "Town of Southampton: Then names of the settlers who had arrived during the first twelve months. March 10, 1640. They embarked from Lynn, Mass., John Jennings, Benj. Haines," and others. (The name "Lee" of the "M.H.C." note above might have been misprinted for "Lynn, as Lee, Mass., is far away in the western part of the state among the Berkshire Hills while Lynn is on the coast--L.P.W.)
We may be in error in these assumptions and conclusions, altho they seem reasonable in the light of available records. We make no claim of absolute proof but give them for what they are worth. The reader is welcome to his own opinion on the subject.
This information comes from the research of Donna Jennings, 192 Lowell Avenue, Floral Park, New York 11001 phone # (516)-354-8218 *
Joshua Jennings (Josua Ginings or Gennings) was born in 1620, England and came to America between 1630-1640. No record of his birth or of his parentage has ever been found. Joshua merried Mary Williams in Hartford, Connecticut December 22, 1647. After Joshua was fined for a trivial offense, he left Hartford by ship in 1650 and settled in Fairfield Connecticut. He died there in 1675. He was a landowner and carpenter. It was noted that he was intelligent, industrious and maintained an excellent reputation.
*note: In 1798, a William Jennings of Arton Place, England died without a signed will. His estate amounted to an estimated 100 millian of dollars in pounds sterling. The many member Jennings family of Fairfield, CT formed an association that tried deligently to prove their first of line Joshua Jennings relationship to William. However, no record of Joshua's birth or of his parentage has ever been found. (same source as above)

My Owsley Family History
http://owslfl.tripod.com/generation-1.html
Ann Hudson, born ABT 1715, Virginia, died AFT 24-Jul-1756, probably Loudoun County, Virginia. married ABT 1730 (1) Name Unknown, died ABT 1731, married ABT 1732 (2) Thomas Owsley born BEF 27-Mar-1698, Stafford County, Virginia, died Bet 30-Mar-1750 and 04-Jul-1750, Fairfax County, Virginia. Ann died 1756, Virginia.
It is believed by this writer that Ann Hudson had two husbands, with Thomas Owsley II being her second husband. Ann and her first husband (name unknown) were the parents of one child, John Owsley, After the death of her first husband, Ann married Thomas Owsley II, who already had a son, Thomas Owsley III by his first wife. Ann and Thomas proceeded to have eight more children together: William, Newdigate, Sarah, Poyntz, Ann, Elizabeth, Jane, and Weldon.
Ann Hudson was the daughter of William Hudson and Sarah. William Hudson died around 1729/30. Sarah's second husband was Benjamin Settle. Ann also had a sister named Lucy Hudson. Ann was named in Lucy's will in 1756.
King George County Court Order Book 1 (1721-1734), page 489, 6 March 1729/30: Administration was granted to Sarah Hudson, widow of William Hudson, deceased. On the same day, she acknowledged her bond as his administratrix with Rush Hudson, her security (King George Co. Bond Book 1 [1723-1735], p. 276). An inventory was recorded on 3 April 1730 (King George Co. Inventory Book 1 [1721-1741], p. 141).
On 9 Dec 1750, Sarah Settle of King George County, Virginia composed her last will and testament. Therein she did "?give and bequeath to my son William Hudson and William Allan my grandson?one hundred and sixty acres of land to be equally divided between them being 160 acres my Father gave to me, the said William Allan not disturbing or molesting my Daughter Lucy Hudson?" Further, "I give my Daughter Lucy Hudson 1060 pounds of Tobacco due to me for rent of the plantation where Archibald Allan now liveth she paying my debts?" Sarah Settle went on to "?appoint William Allan my grandson and my Daughter Lucy Hudson sole Executors?" The will was witnessed by John Stevens, Sarah Tinder, and Elizabeth Allan. The will was presented in court and admitted to record on 2 Jan 1755. (King George Co. Wills, Book A, p. 39-41)
Will of Lucy Hudson Written on 7/24/1756 and Probated on 9/2/1756 Lucy Hudson of the parish of Hanover, King George County did "?give and bequeath to my cousins Samuel Peril and Pine Housley all my money & the money of a Thousand Weight of Crop tobacco which Capt. Joseph Strother hath to sell for me. To my Sister Ann Housley my Mothers green cloak & the Country Cloth that is at the weavers Vizt." She makes further bequests to "?my Sister Elizabeth Allen," "?my Sister Martha Peril?" and "?my Brother William Hudson?" whom she appoints as Executrix and Executor. Witnesses to the will were John Stevens, Ann Stevens and John Hammit. (King George Co. Wills Book A, p. 52-53).(NOTE: The term "cousin" was, for that time period, applied to a near relative such as a nephew or niece.)
THE FOLLOWING IS AN ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE OF THOMAS OWSLEY II, NOW BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN THE SECOND HUSBAND OF ANN HUDSON:
Thomas Owsley II was a prominent citizen and major land owner in northern Virginia. Thomas Owsley was a member of the Overwharton Parish in Stafford County, Virginia and later a member of the Hamilton Parish in Prince William County,Virginia. As a respected man of the area, Thomas Owsley served a Pilot and chain carrier in numerous surveys in northern Virginia.
Thomas Owsley is first mentioned in the will of his maternal grandfather, William Harris, written on March 24, 1697/8, The will itself has not survived, but its contents, at least in part, are disclosed in a deed resulting from the partition of land among two great-grandchildren of William Harris. This deed, dated March 29, 1741, devised all remaining land in possession of William Harris at the time of his death and in accordance with his will, equally to his grand-daughters Jane and Ann Owsley and their heirs, and in the absence of heirs to his other granddaughter Mary Owsley and her heirs, and again in the absence of heirs, to his grandson Thomas Owsley and his heirs, Thomas never came into Possession of any of this land as his sisters married and passed their inheritance on to their own heirs.
Deed of Thomas Owsley II to Daniel McCarty, August 14, 1718: (NOTE: In this deed, Thomas Owsley identifies himself as the "eldest son and heir at law of Cap'n Thomas Owsley." Pointz Owsley, previously thought to be the eldest son, was in fact the younger son.) The land was originally granted to the elder Thomas Owsley on November 15, 1694, through Northern Neck Grant 2:58: "This Indenture made the fourteenth day of August in the fifty year (1718) of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George by the grace of God of great brittain france and Ireland King Defender of the faith & Between Thomas Owsley of the parish of overwharton in the county of Stafford the eldest son and heir at law of Captn. Thomas Owsley late of the parish & county afforesaid deceas'd On the one part and Daniel McCarty of the parish of cople in the county of westmorland Esq on the other part Wittneseth tha tthe said Thomas Owsley as well for and in consideration that the Said Daniel McCarty hath covenanted and for himself and his heirs agreet with the Said Thos.

Att a Court helf for Stafford County the Tenth day of September in the Year of Our Lord viz Thomas Owsley Came into Court & Acknowledged the foregoing Indenture of Bargain & Sale to Capt Danl McCarty and at the same time Ann Wheeler came into Court & Relinquished her Right of Dower to the Land in the Said Indenture mentioned which was Ordered to be Recorded & is Recorded.
Geo. Mason
(This deed was one of the documents presented in the case of Mason vs. Chichester filed by the plaintiff June 18, 1825. It is on record in the county courthouse in Fredericksburg, Virginia.)
On June 10, 1723, Thomas Owsley signed his name to a deed, witnessing the transfer of 322 ½ acres of land in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County from John and Frances Mayfield of St. Ann Parish, Essex County to Samuel Smith also of St. Ann Parish (Records of Long Standing). That same year, 1723, the Quit Rent Roll for Stafford County recorded Thomas Owsley being in possession of 600 acres (The Register of Overwharton Parish).
On April 3, 1724, the Proprietor's Office issued a warrant to John Wheeler [step-father of Thomas Owsley] and Thomas Howsley for a tract of land encompassing 586 acres in Stafford County. The land was surveyed on April 16, 1724, and was granted on August 5, 1724 (Northern Neck Grants, A, p. 60). Despite the concentrated efforts of Beth Mitchell and her associates in plotting the locations of all Northern Neck grants in Fairfax County for her book, Beginning at a White Oak (McGregor & Werner, 1977), the location of the grant to John Wheeler and Thomas Owsley could not be precisely determined. However, based upon natural landmarks noted therein, this tract appears to be situated near the town of Mantua, east of Fairfax, and encompasses all or part of that town. When taken in conjunction with the absence of any records showing subsequent disposition of this land, it is possible that John Wheeler and Thomas Owsley did not fulfill their obligations in assuming the grant and consequently it reverted back to the proprietors for regrant to other individuals.
The land records for this period are the only court documents known to have survived for Stafford County. Thomas appeared many times during the next few years buying and selling land.
On February 14, 1727, Thomas Owsley of Overwharton Parish, planter, for the price of 2500 pounds of tobacco and caske, purchased 200 acres of land from Robert Hedges, The land was located along the Accotink Run, the breadth of 100 acres along both sides, between the 150 acre patent of his father and a 300 acre tract once owned by Major John West and devised to his grandson, Hugh West, In 1743 this land comprised a part of the extensive Belvoir estate of William Fairfax.
On April 28, 1728, Thomas Owsley posted bond to James Whaley of Westmoreland County in the sum of 100 pounds sterling to ensure that he would execute a deed transferring ownership of a 250 acre tract of land on the south side of Accotinck Run in Stafford County. This land was a part of the larger 600 acre Patent issued to his father in 1696. On June 12 and 13, 1728, by deeds of lease and release, Thomas Owsley then sold this land to James Whaley for 8000 pounds of tobacco.
On May 10, 1729, a warrant was issued to Thomas Owsley for 266 acres on the south run of the Pohick. He never occupied the land and assigned this tract to William Godfrey.
On May 30, 1729, a warrant was issued to Thomas Owsley for a tract of 960 acres in Stafford County on the branches of Goose Creek adjoining the land of Robert Carter above the falls of the Potomac. The land was surveyed on November 18, 1729 and granted to Thomas on March 3, 1730.
Thomas Owsley II married sometime around 1730. Thomas Owsley later died in 1750 and left a will naming all of his ten children (Thomas, John, William, Nudigate, Sarah, Points, Ann, Elizabeth, Jane and Welding). It is believed the children were named in order of birth. Based on DNA results completed from 2003 through 2005 by descendants of Thomas Owsley, it is clear John Owsley (the second child named in the will) could not have been a biological son of Thomas Owsley.
It is now believed that Thomas Owsley II was married twice. Thomas married his first wife (name unknown) around 1730 and they had a son named Thomas Owsley III, who was born about 1731. The first wife died leaving Thomas Owsley with an infant son needing a mother. Thomas Owsley immediately started looking for a new wife, who could also be a mother for his infant son. Soon thereafter, Thomas found a young lady named Ann Hudson in neighboring King George County, Virginia. Ann was a recent widow with an infant son or pregnant at the time. Thomas and Ann were married around 1732 and Ann's baby boy suddenly became John Owsley. Thomas Owsley and Ann Hudson went on to have several more children. John Owsley was born about 1732 and may have never known about his true biological father. It is believed that Ann Hudson Owsley had a special relationship with her oldest son, John Owsley. For example, John ended up in possession of the land his mother had inherited from her husband, Thomas Owsley II. Could Ann have had special feelings for John, since he was a son of her first true love? I believe so.
Based upon the DNA results, it appears the true biological father of John Owsley may have been of Irish origin, with a possible connection to the legendary Fifth Century Irish King Niall of the Nine Hostages.
THE OWSLEY SURNAME DNA PROJECT
On May 5, 1730, Thomas Owsley bought 108 acres from Joseph Jones. This land was located an both sides of the Southern Run of Pohick and adjacent to the tract that he had assigned to William Godfrey the previous year. On July 17, 1732, he sold this land to Edward Barry, Yeoman, for 30 pounds sterling.
On January 20, 1731, Thomas Owsley of Hamilton Parish, Prince William County, sold the 150 acre grant, on the north side of Accotinck Run, that had been granted to his father in 1694, to Alexander McCarthy. He also sold McCarthy the 200 acres he had purchased from Robert Hedges in 1727.
On May 17, 1732, Thomas acknowledged this deed and Ann, his wife, relinquished her right of dower.
On November 22, 1733, Thomas Owsley sold his 960 acre tract on Goose Creek (acquired in 1729) to John Mercer of Stafford County, gentleman, for L 30. 2.
Beginning on February 28, 1739, Thomas Owsley first served as a Pilot for a survey of property for Jeremiah Brenaugh. Because of a Pilot's usual familiarity with local landmarks, Thomas guided the surveyor to the area where the survey was to be conducted. He did so again on seven more occasions, until October 30, 1741. In addition, he served as a chain carrier on three occasions. This latter duty was one generally assigned only to persons of honesty and trust to ensure the tract to be surveyed were measured accurately.
On July 17, 1739, Thomas Owsley and his wife, Ann, and Ann Wheeler, all of Prince William County, sold the remaining 400 acres of the grant that Thomas had received in 1696. This land, situated in Hamilton Parish, Prince William County was sold to William Aylett for L 130.
On May 14, 1740, Thomas Owsley obtained a grant for 1449 acres in Prince William County on both sides of Little River, a branch of Goose Creek.
On August 25, 1740, Thomas Owsley leased 711 acres to Valentine Peyton for 5 shillings and the following day sold this tract by deed of release for L 70.
On October 21, 1741, Thomas Owsley leased a 100 acre tract in Prince William County to James Jeffery for the price of 400 pounds of "sound merchantable leaf tobacco" to be paid annually. Providing the rent was paid, the Jeffery family was to hold the land through the lifetimes of James Jeffery, his wife Jane and their son, James Jeffery Jr.
On April 3/4, 1745, by deeds of lease and release, Reverend Charles Green of Truro Parish sold Thomas Owsley a tract of 287 acres on the North side of Goose Creek for 500 shillings (lease) and L 27 (release).
On April 15, 1745, Thomas Owsley of Fairfax County, and his wife Ann, sold the 738 acre balance of land remaining from his last grant (of 14 May 1740) to John Mercer for the sum of five shillings Sterling.
On February 9, 1746, by deeds of lease and release, Thomas Hall sold a tract of land on the south side of Little River to Thomas Owsley for five shillings and 3000 pounds of tobacco.
On March 30, 1750, Thomas Owsley wrote his last will and testament. Unlike most of the wills written during this time, his was very brief. He died between March 30, 1750 (incorrectly transcribed as 1751 in Fairfax Co. Wills, A-1, Part 2, p. 468), the date of his will, and July 4, 1750, when his death was noted in relation to a lawsuit (Fairfax Co. Minutes, B, p. 102).
The Will of Thomas Owsley:
In the name of God Amen. I, Thomas Owsley of Fairfax County, being sick and weak of body, but of perfect memory, do ordain and appoint this to be my Last Will and Testament in manor and form following. Imprimis. I give and bequeath unto my Son, Thomas Owsley, one hundred and eighty Acres of land where he now lives, to him and his heirs forever. Item. I give and bequeath to my Son, John Owsley, the remainder of the Tract, adjoining to my Son, Thomas, being one Hundred acres, to him and his Heirs forever, the land to be laid out across the Tract. Item. I give and bequeath the Land where I now live to be equally divided between my Son, William Owsley and my Son, Nudigate Owsley, to them and their Heirs forever. Lastly, I give and bequeath all the rest of my estate to be equally Divided between my heirs names, viz:- John, William, Nudigate, Sarah, Points, Ann, Elizabeth, Jane and Welding.

Nominoe or Nomenoe was the first Duke of Brittany from 826 to his death. He is a sort of Breton pater patriae and to Breton nationalists he is known as Tad ar Vro ("father of the country").
A man of modest origin, Nominoë was discovered by Charlemagne, who made him Count of Vannes, in south-eastern Brittany. Becoming Duke of Brittany (826) under Louis the Pious, he set about uniting all the Bretons when Louis died, which required ten years to achieve. In 845 he forced Charles the Bald to recognize Breton independence, within borders that remained until 1790.
Rise and titulature under Louis the Pious
After a general rebellion which had enveloped the entire Carolingian Empire was put down, a general assembly was held at Ingelheim in May 831. It was probably there that the emperor Louis the Pious appointed Nominoe, a Breton, to rule the Bretons (which corresponded to "almost all" of Brittany).[1] Regino of Prüm in his famous Chronicon writes, inaccurately for the year 837, that:
Murmanus rex Brittonum moritur et Numenoio apud Ingelheim ab imperator ducatus ipsius gentis traditur.
Morman, king of the Bretons, died and Numenoi [Nominoe] was created duke of that same people by the emperor at Ingelheim.[2]
Nominoe was a staunch ally of Louis the Pious until the emperor's death in 840. He supported Louis in the several civil wars of the 830s and he supported the monastery of Redon, even ordering the monks to pray for Louis in light of the emperor's "strife".[3] Nominoe's power base was in the Vannetais and two charters refer to him as Count of Vannes, though it is unknown when that title was held, be it as early as 819 or as late as 834. Nominoe may not have possessed any land outside Vannes and his ability to gather revenue in Breton-speaking territories was probably no greater than any other aristocrat of those regions.[4] His chief source of income after he broke with his overlord was plunder from raids into Frankish territory and from the despoliation of churches.[5] He did have the political authority to exact payment (wergild) in the form of land from a man who had murdered his follower Catworet.
The title Duke of Brittany is primarily a chronicler's invention of the tenth century. Nominoe never held a title from the emperor, who refers to him in charters as merely fidelis, "faithful one", or as missus imperatoris, "imperial emissary", which was probably the title he was granted at Ingelheim.[6] In Breton charters, Nominoe was known inconsistently by several titles from February 833 until his death:
• Nominoe magistro in Britanniam
• Nominoe possidente Brittanniam
• gubernante Nominoe totam Brittanniam
• Nominoe principe in Brittannia
• regnante Nominoe in Brittannia
• Nominoe duce in Britannia
• Nomenoius dux
• Nominoius princeps
• Nomenogius Britto
Loyalty and falling out with Charles the Bald
The relations between Nominoe and Charles the Bald, Louis's successor after 840, were initially amicable. In the midst of a revolt of his men in Neustria, Charles sent from Le Mans to see if Nominoe would submit to him in the spring of 841 and Nominoe agreed to do so. It is clear from the wording of the account of this event in Nithard that Nominoe was too powerful to be compelled to submit; later in 841 he rebuffed the overtures of the new emperor, Lothair I, who claimed Neustria.[7] Nominoe remained loyal to Charles throughout the next year, even making a donation "in alms for the king" to the abbey of Redon on 25 January 842.[8] Breton soldiers, as well as Gascons, certainly took part in the military show of the Oaths of Strasbourg.
In the summer of 843, Lothair or perhaps his supporter Lambert II of Nantes succeeded in persuading Nominoe to abandon Charles and go over to the emperor.[9] Nominoe was thereafter a constant enemy of Charles and his authority in Neustria, often acting in concert with Lothair, Lambert, and Pepin II of Aquitaine. Breton troops fought under Lambert in Neustria and when, in June 844, Charles was besieging Toulouse, Nominoe raided into Maine and plundered the territory.[10] In November 843, Charles had marched as far as Rennes to compel Breton submission, but to no effect.
At the synod of Yütz in October 844, presided over by Charles' uncle Drogo of Metz, the bishops sent orders to Nominoe, Lambert, and Pepin commanding them to renew their fealty to Charles or be prepared to accept military consequences.[11] Lambert and Pepin complied, but Nominoe ignored the Frankish bishops. However, some Bretons had connived against him with Charles and the king tried to enter Brittany in support of the defectors, but without success: he was defeated at the Battle of Ballon just north of Redon across the Vilaine on 22 November 845.[12] It is probable that in the Vannetais Nominoe's authority had been weakened after his split with Charles in 843 and Lupus of Ferrières reports "unrest" in Brittany during this period.
In 844 and 847 according to the Annales Bertiniani, Nominoe made war on the Vikings.[13]
Renewed loyalty and second rebellion
In Summer 846, Charles marched on Brittany and again took no military action, instead coming to peace with Nominoe and exchanging oaths. The details of the peace arrangements are unknown, but Prudentius of Troyes uses the title "duke" (dux) for the first time in this context and this may indicate that Nominoe was created Duke of the Bretons in return for recognising Charles' lordship.[14] As another part of the agreement, Nominoe had Charles remove Lambert from Nantes and put him in power in Sens further away.
By Christmastime, Nominoe's Bretons were raiding Neustria, this time near Bayeux, again. This was probably instigated by Lothair, for he, Charles, and their brother Louis the German met at Meerssen in February 847 and agreed to send orders to Nominoe and Pepin II to desist from making war on Charles.[15] Nominoe, probably being paid by Lothair, did not in fact desist; neither did Pepin. In two campaigns in the spring and then fall of 849, Charles was in Aquitaine and Nominoe took the opportunity to raid Neustria. Charles reestablished Lambert in Nantes after Nominoe invaded Anjou.[16]
In 850, Lambert (and his brother Warnar) had renewed their friendship with Nominoe and together were raiding Maine "with unspeakable fury" according to the Chronicon Fontanellense. In August, Charles marched on Rennes, again avoided fighting, and installed garrisons there and at Nantes. Immediately after he left, Lambert and Nominoe defeated the garrisons and captured the new Count of Nantes, Amalric.[17] On 7 March 851, Nominoe died near Vendôme while ravaging the Nantais and Anjou; he was buried at Redon. By his wife Argentaela, Nominoe left a son named Erispoe, who succeeded him. Nominoe was thus the founder of a political tradition in Brittany which had not thitherto existed; though his charters did not mimic Carolingian ones, his successors would imitate the legitimising Carolingian language in theirs.[18]
Deposition of the bishops
In 849 at a place called Coitlouh, Nominoe held a synod whereat he deposed the five Breton bishops of Alet, Saint-Pol, Vannes, Quimper, and Dol.[19] The charges he levelled against them are unknown. Pope Leo IV sent a letter to Nominoe and the bishops (whether before or after the deposition is unknown) informing him that the depositions could only be enacted by a panel of twelve bishops with seventy-two witnesses. The later popes Benedict II and Nicholas I believed that Nominoe had forced the bishops to admit to crimes they had not committed and that there depositions were thus invalid. A Frankish synod of 850 held at either Angers or Tours accused Nominoe of simony by unlawfully removing bishops and replacing them with mercenarii (mercenaries of his own). These mercenarii were excommunicated, as indicated by an epistle of the synod of Savonnières in 859 sent to what remained of the Breton church in communion with the Archdiocese of Tours. Nominoe sacked Rennes and Nantes, replacing the new Frankish bishop of the latter with his own nominee.
Susannus was deposed in Vannes and replaced by Courantgen. Salocon was deposed in Dol, but his replacement is unknown. At Quimper, Felix was replaced by Anaweten and at Saint-Pol, Clutwoion replaced Garnobrius. The two bishops of Alet, first Rethwalatr and then Mahen are very obscure figures. The bishop of Nantes whom Nominoe succeeded in removing for about a year was Actard. His replacement was the obscure Gislard. In the end the synod of Coitlouh and the bringing of the bishoprics of Rennes and Nantes into the Breton fold meant that the church of Brittany was an actively independent ecclesiastic polity from its nominal metropolitan, the see of Tours.

Not to be confused with Richard I of England
Richard I of Normandy (28 August 933 ? 20 November 996), also known as Richard the Fearless (French, Richard Sans-Peur), was the Duke of Normandy from 942 to 996.[1] Dudo of Saint-Quentin, whom Richard commissioned to write the "De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum" (Latin, "On the Customs and Deeds of the First Dukes of Normandy"), called him a Dux, but this use of the word may have been in the context of Richard's renowned leadership in war, and not as a reference to a title of nobility.[2][3] Richard either introduced feudalism into Normandy, or he greatly expanded it. By the end of his reign, most important Norman landholders held their lands in feudal tenure.[4]
Richard was born to William I of Normandy, princeps (chieftain or ruler)[5] of Normandy, and Sprota.[1] His mother was a Breton concubine captured in war and bound to William by a more danico marriage.[6] He was also the grandson of the famous Rollo. Richard was about 10 years old when his father was killed on 17 December 942.[1] William was told of the birth of a son after the battle with Riouf and other Viking rebels, but his existence was kept secret until a few years later when William Longsword first met his son Richard. After kissing the boy and declaring him his heir, William sent Richard to be raised in Bayeux.[7] After William was killed, Sprota became the wife of Esperleng, a wealthy miller; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard's half-brother.[8]
Life
With the death of Richard's father, William I Longsword, in 942, king Louis IV of France seized the lands of the Duchy of Normandy. The king installed the boy Richard in his father's office, and placed him in the custody of the count of Ponthieu.[9] He then split up the Duchy, giving its lands in lower Normandy to Hugh the Great. Louis IV thereafter kept Richard in solitary confinement at Lâon,[10] but the youth escaped from imprisonment with assistance of Osmond de Centville, Bernard de Senlis (who had been a companion of Rollo of Normandy), Ivo de Bellèsme, and Bernard the Dane[11] (ancestor to the families of Harcourt and Beaumont).[a]
In 946, Richard agreed to "commend" himself to Hugh, the Count of Paris. At the age of 14, Richard allied himself with the Norman and Viking leaders in France, drove king Louis IV's army out of Rouen, and successfully took back Normandy from him by 947.[12]
In 962, Theobald I, Count of Blois, attempted a renewed invasion of Rouen, Richard's stronghold, but his troops were summarily routed by Normans under Richard's command, and forced to retreat before ever having crossed the Seine river.[13][14] Lothair, the king of the West Franks, fearful that Richard's retaliation could destabilize a large part of West Francia, stepped in to prevent any further war between the two.[15]
Afterwards, and until his death in 996, Richard concentrated on Normandy itself, and participated less in Frankish politics and its petty wars. In lieu of building up the Norman Empire by expansion, he stabilized the realm and reunited the Normans, forging the reclaimed Duchy of his father and grandfather into West Francia's most cohesive and formidable principality.[16]
Richard used marriage to build strong alliances. His marriage to Emma of Paris connected him directly to the House of Capet. His second wife, Gunnora, from a rival Viking group in the Cotentin, formed an alliance to that group, while her sisters formed the core group that were to provide loyal followers to him and his successors.[17] His daughters forged valuable marriage alliances with powerful neighboring counts as well as to the king of England.[17]
Richard also built on his relationship with the church, restoring their lands and ensuring the great monasteries flourished in Normandy. His further reign was marked by an extended period of peace and tranquility.[17][18]
Marriages
His first marriage (960) was to Emma, daughter of Hugh "The Great" of France,[1][19] and Hedwig von Sachsen.[19] They were betrothed when both were very young. She died after 19 March 968, with no issue.[1]
Richard & his children
According to Robert of Torigni, not long after Emma's death, Duke Richard went out hunting and stopped at the house of a local forester. He became enamoured of the forester's wife, Seinfreda, but she being a virtuous woman, suggested he court her unmarried sister, Gunnor, instead. Gunnor became his mistress, and her family rose to prominence. Her brother, Herefast de Crepon, may have been involved in a controversial heresy trial. Gunnor was, like Richard, of Viking descent, being a Dane by blood. Richard finally married her to legitimize their children:[b]
Richard II "the Good", Duke of Normandy[1]
Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, Count of Evreux[1]
Mauger, Count of Corbeil[1]
Emma of Normandy, wife of two kings of England[1]
Maud of Normandy, wife of Odo II of Blois, Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres[1]
Hawise of Normandy m. Geoffrey I, Duke of Brittany[1]
Papia of Normandy
William, Count of Eu
Orielda (963-1031) wife of Fulk Seigneur de Guernanville, Dean of Evreax [20][21]
Illegitimate children
Richard was known to have had several other mistresses and produced children with many of them. Known children are:
Geoffrey, Count of Eu[1][22]
William, Count of Eu (ca. 972-26 January 1057/58),[22] m. Lasceline de Turqueville (d. 26 January 1057/58).
Beatrice of Normandy, Abbess of Montvilliers d.1034 m. Ebles of Turenne[1] (d.1030 (divorced)
Possible children
Muriella, married Tancred de Hauteville[1][23][24]
Fressenda or Fredesenda (ca. 995-ca. 1057), second wife of Tancred de Hauteville.[1][24][25]
Guimara (Wimarc(a)) (b. circa 986), Wife of Ansfred (Ansfroi) II "le Dane" le Goz, vicomte d'Exmes et de Falaise, Mother of Robert FitzWimarc, Death:Abbey of Montivilliers, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy[26]
Death
Richard died of natural causes in Fecamp, France, on 20 November 996.[27] | Richard I of Normandy (I40686)

Note from Pam Wilson (curator and descendant):
HENRY DUKE was born 1640-1645 in Jamestown, Virginia, and died March 09, 1714 in Virginia.
He was by most reports the son of Thomas Duke (1616-1665), immigrant to Nansemond Co, Virginia from Kent, England. There seems to be great confusion as to whether his mother was Mary Barham, Mary Hampton or Marcella Herbert. Still looking for a definitive and well-documented source. However, other family trees claim different ancestries. One says, "Henry Duke, the Virginia descendant of the branch of the Duke family of Suffolk County England, which comprises the first section of our genealogical record, emigrated from England first to Bermuda and then to York County, VA and later removed to James City County."
He married ELIZABETH SLOANE c.1665 in Virginia. She was born c.1642.
In 1670 he was living in James City Co., VA. on land he bought of William Manning adjoining the land of his mother.
The first mention of his name in the records of that county is in 1680 when he is listed as one of the justices of James City County.
On July 25, 1690 (as Captain Henry Duke), he was appointed by Gov. Francis Nicholson to solicit subscriptions for building a college and free school in the colony (WILLIAM AND MARY QUARTERLY, VOL VII, Pg. 160) and was appointed commissioner
He received a 1000 acre patent on Oct 23, 1690 on the south side of Chickahominy River.
He was a member of the House of Burgesses representing James City/County from 1692 to 1699.
He was also granted a patent Nov. 2, 1693 for land on Timber Swamp.
In 1694 Henry was a member of the House of Burgess and very wealthy.
A list of Virginia military officers for 1698 in James City, County shows Capt. Henry Duke with 77 men under Col. Daniel Parke.
in 1699 he was commissioned as sheriff of James City County
Beginning in 1699 he appears as Colonel instead of Captain. Because of his wealth, property ownership and activity in promoting government and social projects, he was given the title Colonel.
In April of 1699 he was one of the Burgesses appointed on a joint committee to revise the seven whole body of laws of His Majesties Colony and Dominion (Hennings Statutes at Large, Vol. 3, p. 181).
Henry Duke, of James City County, Virginia was a member of the Royal Council at Williamsburg under appointment of Queen Anne, of England, in 1702, which office he held until his death in 1714.
At a court "at St. James this 21st day of May, 1702, in the 1st year of Our Reign" Queen Anne of Great Britain being "well satisfied of the Loyaltie, Integrity and Ability of Our Trusty and Well beloved Henry Duke, Esqr." appointed him a member of "Our Council of Our Colony and Dominion of Virginia." Esquire was a coveted designation, a title of office and courtesy which was usually reserved for high officials of the colony.
Later designated as Judge of the Admiralty Court.
As a member of the Royal Council he sat in judgment at the trial of Grace Sherwood, accused of being a witch (VIRGINIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE, VOL. III, pg. 400).
He and his son, Henry Duke, Jr. were examiners of the will of Col. William Byrd, Sr., and made certificate at "Westopher," Charles City County, VA, on Jan 12, 1704/5, and he was appointed by the Council to examine the accounts of William Byrd I as Auditor General of the Colony at his death.
Quit Rents of Virginia, 1704 lists Henry Duke Esq of New Kent Co. with 325 acres; Henry Duke Esq, New Kent Co. with 170 ac, Henry Duke Edq of James City Co, with 2986 acres, and Henry Duke, Jr. of James City Co, with 1,000 acres, and Henry Duke of York Co with 25 acres John Duke of Nansemond Co with 113 acres.
Henry Duke: His Descendants and Connections in Stillwater Library thinks that Sir Edward Duke is Henry's child along with 28 other children.
Henry Duke,Esq & Elizabeth Soane had the following children:
1) Thomas Duke;
2) Henry Duke born about 1666 married Elizabeth Taylor;
3) James Duke born 1675 married Mary Byrd;
4) Edmund Duke;
5) Elizabeth Duke born 1674 who married 1. James Mason 2. Ethelred Taylor;
6) Marston Duke.
[The following seems to need to go with a different profile:
William Duke disposed of his property in Brunswick County, Virginia in 1742 and with his wife and his son Samuel and his wife went to North Carolina where he was granted 300 acres in Edgecombe County (Granville County in 1746), where he was later joined by his other sons who also received grants of land. He died in 1773 or soon thereafter.
His parents dying when he was a small lad, and the estate passed, according to English law and custom, to his oldest brother, William Duke was left poor and brought to Virginia by his relative Col. William Byrd, of Westover on James River who reared him and gave him the rudiments of a good business education and better than all taught him to work ]

Henry was awarded the title of Col. Henry Duke, Esqr. in or near 1690. There are many transactions of his recorded in Virginia. Clearly he was a man of wealth and influence. He and his son's wife's father, Col. William Byrd, Esqr. both served in the Council of Virginia for many years. Col. Henry Duke and Col.

NOTE: The following information from Steve Thomas.
ID:10360 Charles G Bailey (my husbands G-G-G-grandfather) Here's some info pertaining to William Bailey. The info comes from 1850 census, Gordon Co., Georgia. William was Charles' son born about 1836. He also had a sister, Emily, b. about 1833. Both were born in Georgia. I hope this is useful to you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CENSUS DATA: The 1840 census, Forsyth Co., GA, p. 263, shows Charles G. Bailey. The following data are shown; Males, age 0 - 5 =2; 20 - 30 = 1 ; females, 5 - 10 =1; 20 - 30 =1.
CENSUS DATA: The 1850 census, Gordon Co., GA, 12th Div., taken 16 November 1850 shows C. G. Bailey, age 38, born GA?. Living with him were: Nancy, wife, age 36, born GA; Emily, female, age 16; William, male, age 13; Mark, male, age 10; Robert, male, age 8; Nancy, female, age 2. All children born GA.
NOTE: Based on family lore, Charles G. Bailey moved from Carroll Co., GA to Sacramento, CA in 1852 and was accompanied by his nephew, William Dale.
CENSUS DATA: The federal census of 1860, San Joaquin Co., CA, Castoria TWP, Series M653, Roll 64, p. 882, June 7, 1860; shows Charles G. Bailey, age 48, born in GA and farming. Living with him are Nancy, wife, age 44, born in GA; Mark, son, age 20 and born in GA; Robert, son, age 16, born in GA; Nancy, dau., age 11, born in GA; and Gatsey, dau., age 8, born in GA.
NOTE: The census record further shows William Dale, age 26, born in GA and William Bailey, age 23, born in Ga living next door to the Charles G. Bailey family. The census information confirms that William Dale, a nephew, did accompany Charles G. Bailey and his family to California. Apparently the move to California occurred sometime after 1852 based on Gatsey Bailey's age and birth location, i.e., 8 years of age in 1860 and born in GA. William Bailey is probably Charles G. Bailey's son, William M. Bailey, born December 1836 in Carroll Co., GA. His occupation was listed as teamster.
CENSUS DATA: The federal census of 1880, San Joaquin Co., CA, Dent TWP, p. 20, SD= 2, ED= 105, June 19-21, 1880; shows Charles G. Bailey, age 68, born in GA and farming. Living with him are Nancy, wife, age 64, born in GA; and a servant, named, Ah Jim, born in China.

Notes for Alice Kighley
Alice Kighley's father, Sir Henry Kighley, is said to have commanded the bowmen in the English army against the Scots at the Battle of Flodden Field, 1513, in conjunction with Sir William Stanley (of the Royalist Stanleys of Greenhalgh Castle and the line of the Earls of Derby - see notes for Elizabeth Sherbourne) and Sir William Molyneux. These knights and their archers are said to have "forced the Scots to give ground..." (source: Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, College of Arms, London, England).
The following is an account of the battle excerpted from Encarta Encyclopedia:
"Flodden Field, plain in Northumberland, England, on the border with Scotland, at the base of Flodden Hill, the northeastern continuation of the Cheviot Hills. It is the site of a celebrated battle, fought on September 9, 1513, in which a Scottish army commanded by James IV, king of Scotland, was defeated by the English under Thomas Howard, earl of Surrey (later 2nd duke of Norfolk), chief lieutenant of King Henry VIII of England.
Upon Henry's refusal to accede to his demand to cease making war on France, an ally of Scotland, James raised an army of 100,000 and invaded England. By the time the Scottish army reached Flodden Field, it had dwindled to about 30,000 as a result of desertions. The opposing English army was of equal strength. By nightfall a decisive English victory was obvious. The total Scottish wounded and dead amounted to some 10,000; English losses were about 4,000. Among the Scottish dead were King James, the archbishop of St. Andrew, 12 earls, and men from every important family in Scotland. The King's Stone, an unhewn granite pillar, is believed to mark the spot where James was killed. The battle is re-created in the sixth canto of the metrical romance, "Marmion, A Tale of Flodden Field," by the 19th-century Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott."

Notes for Andrew Jackson Newsome:
Among Andrew Jackson Newsome's children was General Jackson Newsome, known to most of his friends and family as "Jack." Jack took up moonshining in the remote hills of southeastern Kentucky after the turn of the century to supplement his farming income. He was caught and arrested by federal authorities in the spring of 1911 and subsequently indicted for "selling whiskey without having paid the special tax required by law." On May 24, 1911, he pled guilty to the charge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, was sentenced to imprisonment in the federal penitentiary for one year and one day, and was ordered to pay a fine of one hundred dollars.
Jack apparently served most of his time, but perhaps due to his impoverished state and the effect the fine would have on his family, President of the United States William Howard Taft ordered a remission of fine on March 26, 1912. Upon his release from prison Jack returned home to his third wife Fanny and lived out the remaining six years of his life in Robinson Creek, Pike County. He died of "heart dropsy" in 1918.

Notes for Davenport Newsome:
Davenport Newsom first served in the Union Army in the Civil War. He was a Private assigned to the 39th Kentucky Infantry, Company K. He deserted on July 7, 1864. Remarkably, he joined a contingent of the Confederate States Army (C.S.A.) operating out of Virginia - Captain Julius Williamson's Company of Smith's Battalion, Virginia Cavalry. This unusual and difficult circumstance is said to have arisen mainly out of an attempt by Union commanders to combine Company K of the 39th Kentucky Infantry with other Union commands which contained black soldiers. Apparently, while these Kentucky Union veterans opposed southern secession, they were far less sympathetic to the Union view of abolition and social integration. This animosity is said to have risen to such a fever pitch that elements of the 39th at one point actually fired shots at Negro troops.
In any case, Davenport's hiatus was relatively short-lived. He took advantage of President Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of March 11, 1865, which granted full amnesty to all Union deserters, and returned to Union service on April 3, 1865, having served with his erstwhile Confederate foes for about eight months. He was honorably discharged from Union service at Louisville, Kentucky, on September 15, 1865, some five months after the end of the war.
Davenport's younger brother Jarvey had a similar record in the Civil War, also serving on both sides at one time or another (see notes for Jarvey). Of course, the other brothers, Robert and Lackey, served their entire enlistments on the Union side. Lackey was killed in action on February 25, 1865 (see notes for Robert and Lackey).

Notes for Elizabeth Sherbourne:
Right: The tomb of Sir Richard Sherbourne and Matilda (Maude) Bolde, parents of Elizabeth Sherbourne. It is the original tomb in the original location: the Sherbourne Chapel in All Hallows Church, Mitton, Lancashire near Garstang (click on photo for larger view).
Elizabeth Sherbourne is said to have lived in Greenhalgh Castle, Lancashire. The lonely and beautiful ruins of the Castle still stand on a grassy knoll overlooking the River Wyre, one kilometer east of the hamlet of Garstang (picture below - click for larger view). A Newsome Family Legend tells of Elizabeth's marriage to Robert Newsom of Newsom Hall which was "not far" away. This union marks the uniting of two old and venerable Lancashire families - the Newshams and the Sherbournes. Both lines abound with individuals of accomplishment and repute, a pattern which continued into the subsequent emigration to the New World in the early 1600's (see notes for William Newsom, Jr.).
Of the Sherbournes, Burke's Peerage says, "The family of Sherbourne was of great antiquity and distinction in the county of Lancaster, and possessed Stonyhurst from the time of the early Plantagenets. Under Edward I, Robert Sherburn was Seneschal of Wiswall and Blackburnshire, and in the marshall reign of the third Edward, Sir John Sherburn, attending his royal master in his French wars, served at the siege of Calais..."
There is strong circumstantial evidence, but no proof yet, to support the view that Elizabeth Sherbourne was a daughter (or possibly a niece) of Sir Richard Sherbourne of Stonyhurst and therefore sister to Richard Sherbourne the younger who was "Master Forester of Bowland, Steward of the Manor of Slaidburn, Captain of the Isle of Man and one of Her Majesty's (Elizabeth I) Deputy Lieutenants..." (Burke's Peerage). Key points are that Sir Richard essentially controlled much of the area around Greenhalgh Castle where Elizabeth lived, virtually all Sherbournes in the moderately populated vicinity must have been related, the birth and death dates of all of the individuals concerned are appropriate, and there are land records dating from 1586 which confirm, "Robert Newsom sold lands in Thornton and Wheatley to Sir Richard Shireburn..." (Lancashire Life Magazine, August 1974). Elizabeth Sherbourne's pedigree has tentatively been drawn to reflect this relationship.
Greenhalgh Castle was built in 1490 by Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby, and was one of the last - perhaps the last - Royalist strongholds in Lancashire resisting the radical Commonwealth/Parliamentary movement of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. The castle took its name from the local village of Greenhalgh which pre-dated its construction. It was never actually owned or controlled by any member of the Greenhalgh family, though there was strong alliance between John Greenhalgh (then Governor of the Isle of Man), much of his family, and the royal Stanleys against Cromwell. Interestingly, the Stanleys were Protestant - not Catholic like most of the opponents of Cromwell. Yet they steadfastly maintained their loyalty to Catholic King Charles I. One of John Greenhalgh's brothers administered the Last Rights to Lord Derby at his execution for treason by Cromwell. King Charles I himself was executed on January 30, 1649. Presumably, Lord Derby's death took place at about the same time.
Also in 1649, Greenhalgh Castle was razed on the personal order of the vindictive Cromwell. Local farmers were invited to dismantle the walls and utilize the fieldstones for buildings on their farms, an invitation many among them accepted. Only one of the original four towers remain.
Evidence of Newsome (Newsham) involvement in the political affairs of the time may be found in a list of "Lands and Estates of several other persons forfeited for Treason, to be sold... 20th Day of May, 1642." An Andrew and a Nicholas Newsham, both of Plumpton (modern Woodplumpton near Newsham), Lancashire, and almost certainly relatives of the Newshams of Newsham Hall, appear prominently on the list. Isle of Man Governor John Greenhalgh appears on the same list. So it is virtually certain that Newsome ancestors were strong Royalist Catholics, fought against Cromwell alongside the great Lancashire families of the day - the Greenhalghs, Stanleys Kighleys, Fleetwoods, Molyneuxs and Sherbournes - and forfeited lands as a consequence.

Notes for Frederick William Newsome, Sr.:
On November 9, 1861, some eight months after the birth of Tivis Newberry and seven months after the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter (April 12), Frederick Newsome, at the age of 49, enlisted as a Private in Company G of the Fifth Regular Infantry of the Confederate States Army (C.S.A.). Not many details are known about Frederick's service other than that he served under a Captain D.J. Lykins and likely fought in several Kentucky engagements. It must be noted here that the old Civil War axiom, "Father against son, brother against brother..." sadly applies to the Newsome family. At least four of Frederick's sons fought in the War. Frederick's third child, Lackey, was killed in action February 25, 1865. See notes for Frederick's children.
After serving his term of enlistment, Frederick Newsome returned home to Ansy and eventually accumulated several hundred acres of land in the Robinson Creek area of Pike County, near its present border with Floyd County. These holdings were ultimately passed along to his children. His prominence in the area was such that a small parcel of Floyd County took on Frederick's nickname of "Fed." Fed, Hi Hat, was thus the birth place of many of the Newsome children of subsequent generations.

Notes for George Newsom
It was George Newsom who was awarded the Coat of Arms, "Azure on a fess Argent three crosses-crosslet Gules" which has been passed down through the generations. According to the 'Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica,' the Arms were recorded in 1567 in Lancashire, which would be at or around the time of George Newsom's death. The Arms, along with those of nine other prominent Lancashire families, may be seen beautifully depicted in an ancient and recently restored stained glass window in the east wall at the Art Centre at the University of Central Lancashire at Preston. | NEWSOM, George (I1613)

Notes for Harrison Newsom, Sr.:
Harrison Newsom was the first Kentucky Newsom, having moved from the ancestral Newsom roots of Virginia and North Carolina to Pike County, Kentucky in about 1815. He established two families there - one with his wife "Peggy" Lowe, and the other with a mistress, Polly Kinney. Harrison appears to have sired children by both women contemporaneously.
One story handed down through the generations by some Kinney descendants, and still told by them, is that Harrison brought Polly home to live with his family when Polly was just twelve. Peggy's initial reaction is unknown, but when Polly became pregnant at the age of eighteen, Peggy finally put her foot down and ordered the girl out of the house. Not to be outdone, after emigrating to the Caney Creek area in Pike County, Kentucky, Harrison dutifully built a house for Polly just a few miles down the road in Little Robinson Creek - a home he did not hesitate to visit from time to time.
Another version, told by Oma Bratley and passed along to Clarence Tackett, a Newsome cousin, goes as follows: Polly Kinney was a servant of Harrison and his wife Margaret "Peggy" (Lowe) Newsom in North Carolina. Polly became pregnant by Harrison and her father asked Harrison to keep her. Apparently there was some sort of agreement between all the parties, because in little time Polly had not one, but two, children by Harrison. When the move to Kentucky was decided upon in 1815, Polly took a bed tick and made a covering for her horse with a pocket on each side. The children were placed in the pockets and Polly walked the entire trip, holding the horse by the reigns and traveling alongside Harrison, Peggy and their children. When the group finally arrived safely in Kentucky, having wended their way through the Cumberland Gap wilderness, Harrison got a government grant of land on Caney Creek. A few Indians lived here and Harrison gave them guns, money, and dogs. They were thus satisfied to give up claim to their land, leaving on friendly and good terms. Polly and her children lived separately on nearby Little Robinson Creek. The two families worked together and helped each other.
Each of Polly's children - eventually she and Harrison had seven together - was left 15 acres of land, a horse or a mule. In the end, Harrison willed each of his children by Peggy a farm (Deed Book A1, page 543, 1837, Pike County, Kentucky). Harrison died in 1836 and was buried on Little Robinson Creek near the Robert Newsom farm. Peggy died sometime in the 1840's. Polly, who never married, died about 1876 (sometime after the 1870 census). Both Peggy and Polly are buried beside Harrison, but no markers exist today.
Some Rowan County, North Carolina civil records still exist (Court Order Book 23, p. 189) which show that on April 15, 1814, Rowan County High Sheriff John Sith executed a civil court order and seizure of property against Harrison. The action was brought by a David Coss in the amount of forty-five pounds. The exact nature and origin of the dispute is not revealed in the documents, but the matter was resolved in August, 1814, when Harrison signed over 114 acres of "Flat Swamp," valued at forty pounds, to Mr. Coss.
There are indications that there may have been at least one more civil action against Harrison at about the same time, this one initiated by a "Jacob..." Harrison left North Carolina for Kentucky the following year. Perhaps the foregoing matters were at least part of the reason for his emigration.
It is in subsequent generations forward that we see many Newsoms consistently adopting an "e" on the end of the surname. Since the family's roots in England the name was variously spelled Neesum, Newsam, Newsham and Newsom. Some branches of the family still spell the name minus the "e."

Notes for Jarvey Newsome:
Jarvey Newsome first served in the Union Army in the Civil War. He was a Private assigned to the 39th Kentucky Infantry, Company K. He enlisted on November 16, 1862. He received his first assignment and was "mustered in" on February 16, 1863, at Peach Orchard, Kentucky. He deserted just one month later on March 28, 1963. He was subsequently court marshalled and sentenced to hard labor. He deserted again, however, on December 6, 1864. Remarkably, he this time joined a contingent of the Confederate States Army (C.S.A.) operating out of Virginia - Captain Julius Williamson's Company of Smith's Battalion, Virginia Cavalry. He is listed on the muster roll of Williamson's Company as "present for duty" on December 31, 1864. This unusual and difficult circumstance is said to have arisen mainly out of an attempt by Union commanders to combine Company K of the 39th Kentucky Infantry with other Union commands which contained black soldiers. Apparently, while these Kentucky Union veterans opposed southern secession, they were far less sympathetic to the Union view of abolition and social integration. This animosity is said to have risen to such a fever pitch that elements of the 39th at one point actually fired shots at Negro troops.
In any case, Jarvey's hiatus was short-lived. He took advantage of President Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of March 11, 1865, which granted full amnesty to all Union deserters, and returned to Union service on April 3, 1865, having served with his erstwhile Confederate foes for about three months. He was honorably discharged from Union service at Louisville, Kentucky, on September 15, 1865, some five months after the end of the war, under Special Order 156.

Notes for Jarvey Newsome:
Jarvey Newsome was the eldest son of T.N. Newsome and the namesake of his father's older brother Jarvey who had served in the Civil War. Young Jarvey, a WWI veteran, was killed in a logging accident in 1927, before he turned forty. After his death, and after the equally untimely death of his wife Lola Hill only a year later, two of the couple's four young children - Charles Leroy and Margorie - went to live with other members of the Hill family.
Tivis, Jr., called "Little Tivis," and Frederick, called "Freddie," lived with various members of the Newsome family. Freddie lived with his grandfather T.N. and his step-grandmother Mary Jane in Hoods Creek until they split up and then continued to live with his grandfather in Ohio when the elder Tivis and Mary Jane divorced. He also stayed occasionally with his uncle and aunt Charles W. Newsome, Sr. and Leta Mae (Ellington) Newsome, and another uncle and aunt, William McKinley Newsome and Anna (Springer) Newsome, in Michigan.
Little Tivis stayed mainly with his aunt and uncle Judy (Newsome) Runyon and August Runyon at their home in Hoods Creek although he, like his brother Freddie, stayed for a time with his Uncle "Charlie" and Aunt Leta in Michigan. Anticipating the military draft as WWII swept Europe and the Far East, Little Tivis returned to Kentucky and enlisted in the U.S. Army on November 10, 1941, less than a month before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He was killed in action, purportedly by a Japanese sniper, on July 28, 1944. He is buried in the jungles of New Georgia Island. | NEWSOM, Jarvey (I7144)

Notes for John Newsom:
It was during John Newsom's residence in Newsham Hall that Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby, built Greenhalgh Castle six miles to the north (1490). The castle was razed some 159 years later (1649) by the Parliamentary and anti-Catholic forces of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. John Newsom's great grandson Robert Newsom married Elizabeth Sherbourne of Greenhalgh Castle in about 1578 (see notes for Elizabeth Sherbourne).

Notes for John Newsom:
Referring once more to the work of Richard Cookson in his 'Goosnargh: Past and Present' (see notes for William Newsom), here is another of his excerpts from 'The History of the Parochial Chapelry of Goosnargh' (1871) by Henry Fishwick, which makes a substantial reference to a 'John Newsam.' Quoting from page 17 of Cookson's book:
"The tythes of Goosnargh are henceforth on several occasions the cause of litigation; and the records of these lawsuits (short and unsatisfactory as they are) furnish us with valuable evidence concerning the parish in this most interesting period of church history.
In 1527 the vicar of Kirkham, 'in most humble and lamentable wise sheweth and complayneth' to the Sir Thomas More, Knt., Chancellor of the Duchy, that he has by payment of 'gret and notable somes of money' obtained from the abbot of Vale Royal a lease, whereby he holds for some years yet to come the 'church benefice or parsonage of Gosenarghe' as well as all the tythes and other advantages; and that John Newsam of Plumpton, gentleman, and Richard Wilson and George Dilworth, of the same place, yeomen, and many other riotous and evil disposed persons to the number of 20 or more (to him unknown) did 'in mein of werr arrayed, that is to say withe clubbs, swords, buckeleres, dagerrs and other unlawfull wepons' on the 20th December 1527, and at many other times, seize the tenth part of corn and grains in the townships of Newsam and Hollow-forth, which belonged to the benefice of Goosnargh, and which was worth upwards of ten marks.
The vicar further pleads that John Newsam is a 'gentleman of gret substance and power and abilitie in the said countrey,' whilst he (the orator) is 'not of abilitie and dar not sew for his remedie by cose of comen lawe;' he therefore requested that Newsam and his companions may be summoned to appear before the Chancellor of the Duchy."
Though after more than 400 years it is difficult to be certain, it is likely that the aforementioned dispute arose out of the fact that the Newsams were Catholic and the vicar was a prelate of the relatively new Church of England under Henry VIII. We may imagine that John Newsam and his colorful companions Richard Wilson and George Dilworth were disinclined to accept taxes in the form of "tythes" demanded by the Anglican Church, especially since the trio were, no doubt, already giving ten percent of their goods to the Catholic Church.
The Thomas More, knight and Chancellor of the Duchy, written to by the hapless vicar of Goosnargh is, of course, the famous Sir Thomas More of English history - "A Man for all Seasons."
An excerpt from the article on More in the Encarta Encyclopedia follows:
"More, Sir Thomas (1478-1535) English statesman and writer, known for his religious stance against King Henry VIII that cost him his life.
More was born in London on February 7, 1478, and educated at Canterbury Hall (now Christ Church), University of Oxford. He studied law after leaving Oxford, but his primary interests were in science, theology, and literature. During his early manhood, he wrote comedies and spent much time in the study of Greek and Latin literature. In 1499 he determined to become a monk and subjected himself to the discipline of the Carthusians. Four years later More gave up this plan, and in 1504 he entered Parliament. One of his first acts was to urge a decrease in a proposed appropriation for King Henry VII. In revenge, the king imprisoned More's father and did not release him until a fine was paid and More himself had withdrawn from public life. After the death of the king in 1509, More became active once more. In 1510, he was appointed undersheriff of London.
During the next decade, More attracted the attention of King Henry VIII, and served frequently on diplomatic missions to the Low Countries. In 1518 he became a member of the Privy Council; he was knighted in 1521. Two years later, More was made Speaker of the House of Commons. During this period Henry VIII made More one of his favorites and often sought his company for philosophical conversations. More became lord chancellor in 1529; he was the first layman to hold the post. His fortunes changed, however, when he refused to support Henry's request for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. More's religious scruples made him unwilling to sanction any defiance of papal authority. He resigned from the chancellorship in 1532 and withdrew from public notice. The king resented the attitude of his former friend and had him imprisoned in 1534. More was tried the following year; he refused to take an oath of supremacy, asserting that Parliament did not have the right to usurp papal authority in favor of the king. Condemned for his stand, More was decapitated on July 7, 1535. In 1935 he was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.
More is best known for Utopia (1516), a satirical account of life on the fictitious island of Utopia. On this island the interests of the individual are subordinate to those of society at large, all people must do some work, universal education and religious toleration are practiced, and all land is owned in common. These conditions are contrasted with those of English society, to the substantial disadvantage of the latter. Utopia was the forerunner of a series of similar books. Among the best-known of these are Candide by the French author and philosopher Voltaire, Erewhon by the English novelist Samuel Butler, and A Dream of John Ball by the English poet and artist William Morris."

So we see the beginning of a pattern, of Newsomes through the centuries becoming entangled in the great affairs of their day - in this case, a Newsome ancestor mentioned in detail in a surviving letter to Sir Thomas More. But the year 1527 is problematic. By that year, John's grandfather John was already deceased, and John was only about seven-years-old. Yet the author of the "History of Goosnargh" is adamant about the familial relationship, stating unequivocally on page 194, "No doubt it was one of this family (the Newsams of Newsham Hall) who is mentioned in the proceedings relative to the gathering of the tithe corn, &c., of Newsham in 1527..." If the birth dates we have are accurate, then the John Newsam mentioned here is likely a cousin, or perhaps a heretofore "undocumented" uncle in the line.

Notes for Leta Mae Ellington:
This is the complete text of the eulogy delivered at Leta's funeral at the Ralph W. Ridge Funeral Home in Trenton, Michigan, December 10, 1994, by grandson Charles W. Newsome III:
"Leta Mae. Mom. Mamaw. It seems too short a name for such a wonderful story to lie behind it. She wiped a thousand tears away and listened to a hundred tales of woe. Often the tale she used to bind the wounds and heal the hurt was a tale of her own - better than any pill, or any salve, better than any doctor's prescription.
'Long ago, there was a place,' she would say, 'in the hills of Kentucky, called Possum Ridge...' A family lived there on a farm. And while this family was mostly like other families of that place and that time, there was an enchantment there, a magic that was a match for any story of the Brothers Grimm.
The spring came early, and there was dogwood, and mountain laurel, and the redbud trees were like the purple of a painter's palate splashed across the green hillsides.
In the summer there were wild greens for supper, and green onions, and radishes and early tomatoes, and Kentucky Wonders. In the woods there were blackberries as big as your thumb, and the bluebirds would chatter in the trees over your head.
The water in the well was not good to drink, but its cold, dark water was a wonderful refrigerator, and many a jug of milk, or buttermilk, was lowered by rope to cool there. And you got fresh water to drink from the little spring beneath the cliff. And the girls washed their hair in the waterfall in the gentle stream nearby.
In the fall there was squash and sorghum, and corn eight feet tall, and white sweet potatoes as long as your forearm. And when you looked out from the top of the ridge across the hollows the colors would take your breath away.
When winter came, and the canning was done, and the smokehouse was filled, the father would sometimes take jobs lumber jacking far away in the log woods. He was terribly missed, and the cold black nights were as long as years. But after a week or two, one bitter cold evening as you sat quietly at the hearth, watching the flames dance and listening to the oak logs pop, you heard him returning home up the lane. You cocked your head and listened hard and you could hear him coming. His heavy, baggy trousers would get wet on the long walk home and then freeze in the winter cold. The legs rubbed together and softly swished a steady, rhythmic swish as he came near. And then the door would be open and he would be home.
The man who came home was Grampaw, of course, and the little girl who listened so carefully was Mamaw - Leta Mae. And of all the wonderful things that took place on Possum Ridge, the most magical of all was the family - the unquestioning, absolute love that each had for the other.
And that is the story of Leta Mae, of Mom, of Mamaw. Unlike Hemingway or Faulkner or Frost, she never set pen to paper. She didn't need to, you see. Her whole life was a tale to be told. The kind, unselfish old heart that failed her at last was itself a poem to be recited.
In your mind's eye do you see the log house in the woods? Do you feel the cool soil of the garden sift through your fingers on a sunny day, the sky so blue it hurts to look at it? Can you hear the sound of Grampaw's frozen trousers as he trudges home in the cold night?
Of course. Of course, you can. And that, you see, is Mamaw's gift to us. That is the medicine that makes the hurt go away. Mamaw's legacy is her story. And the lesson of the story is to remember. And the responsibility of each of the younger members of our big family is to not let the story die with the story teller.
So I say to all of the young Newsomes and Chambers, Heavlins and Kaskes, and Littles and all the rest: when your little one falls and bumps his head, wipe away his tears and take him on your lap. When your teenager despairs at the ending of her first love, take her by the hand and draw her close. And then tell them the story. Tell them about the place, the magical place, where blackberries grew big as your thumb.
Finally, I will say just this, and borrow a line from one of the great writers: 'Out of all of my travels, and of all of the souls that I have known, hers was the most human...' " | ELLINGTON, Leta Mae (I7197)

Pamela Newsom was the daughter of Nathan and Priscilla Newsom. Nathan was Lewis Newsom's uncle, brother to Lewis's father Sampson. Lewis and Pamela were, therefore, first cousins.

Eventually, Pamela chose as her guardian another cousin Nathaniel, son of Thomas, Jr. After reaching "adulthood" she married her cousin Lewis.
