Paternal Ancestors of Betty Atkins

General Notes: W.E.Brockman's "Orange Co. Families" p. 22, lists Joseph Atkins, son of John Atkins Sr, Orange Co.who m. To Susannah Brockman. John has a will and Joseph is mentioned. I have only one page: Joseph Atkins - dec. when John wrote will: Joseph m. Milly James dau of Samuel James d 1755 Orange co. and Mildred Taliafero d. 1803. Joseph - Milly's children: Spencer m. Rebecca Yancey 1795. Sarah b. 1779 Joseph m. Mary Mills Dickinson Jonathan b. 1782 m. Molly Quisenberry This one I guess you must check:

Spencer Atkins m. Rebecca Yancey,6-11-1795 - children: Elizabeth b. 1796 m. James Waller Catlett, (male) b. 1799 ? Anna Marie b. 1801 m. Robt Campbell, Leighton Yancey b. 1801 - ? he says on the same page: Spencer m. Louisa Co. to Rebecca Young - 6-11-1795 "Daughter of Stephen Young and his wife, a Miss Yancy, a cousin" Both marriages say 6-11-1795 - the children are the same. The last sounds like a "sent in" note. I would not think it would be hard to check the "Yancey" marriage. Brockman wrote whatever people gave him sometimes. so - you have to check him as you can see.

General Notes: REFN: 554 The James Family is of English origin. The early records of the E astern Virginia counties show the name soon after the settlement at jamestown . "In 1632 Captian Nicholas Martin represented the Island (Kent Island) in t he House of Burgesses, and the Reverend Richard James, of the established Chu rch, was in charge of the settlement, etc..." (William & Mary Quarterly, Vol. 1, Second Series page 79) "In the volume of the 'Collection of the Acts of th e Assembly' printed at Williamsburg by William Parks, 1733, and in the Virgin ia State Library, are the signatures of Thurston, John and George W. James, etc..." (William & Mary Quarterly Vol. I, page 276) The James name appears am ong the Orange County records as early as 1740. Samuel bequeathed his estate to his wife, Mildred, during her lifetime or widowhood, and directed that in case she died or remarried, his brother, Thomas James, should be executor an d divide his estate among his children. His children are not named in the wi ll. Mildred James qualified as executrix of her husband, with William Taliaf erro her security, in the sum of one hundred pounds. (Will Book 2, p. 200)

General Notes: REFN: 555 Mildred James appears on the Orange Co., VA personal property returns for 1783, charged with one tithable, three houses, six cattle, her slave being reported exempt. Mrs. James petitioned the General Assembly for the arrears due on the pension of her late son, Catlett, soldier of the Revolutionary War. An act passed on Dec. 15, 1791, directed same to be paid. Her will, dated Oct. 28, 1802, was probated April 25, 1803. Joseph Atkins, her son-in -law, was executor with Spencer Atkins his security. She mentions her daughter Betty Smith, son James, granddaughter Milly James, and leaves her land to Milly Atkins "her equal part with her brothers." Her sons Catlett and Stephen had died during her lifetime. She does not mention John, who is thought also to have died during her lifetime. (Orange County Wil Book, 4, p. 74)

There is an Ann James, granddaughter of John and Mary (Catlett) Taliaferro according to land transfer that some put as a daughter of Mildred & Samuel. I don' t believe she can be their daughter because I think she is too old. Her marriage date is given as 1736 and birthdate as ca 1717. Also found as Hugh & Anna (Taliaferro) James daughter. At a court held for Orange Co., Sept. 23, 1754 , on the motion of Mildred James, her tithables were ordered to be added to t he lists. (Orange County Order Book, 1754-1763, page 26) Mildred James, together with Colonel George Taylor, Erasmus Taylor, Sarah Slaughter and Betty Slaughter, stood as sureties at the christening of Nicholas Taliaferro, born Oc tober 30th 1757, son of William and Mary (Battaile) Taliaferro of "Newington" (name of Brockman estate in England.) on Mountain Run, Orange Co., and grand son of John and Mary (Catlett) Taliaferro. (William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 1, page 147.) per Kay Todd.

In 1785, William Bell, in the state Enumerations, listed Mildred James as the head of a family, with three white souls, 1 dwelling, and two other buildings. (Heads of Families, Virginia, 1790) She appears on the Orange county personal property returns of 1783, charged with one tithable, three houses, six cattle, her slave being reported exempt.

ARCHELAUS YANCEY
IDENTITY: SON OF CHARLES & (MARY BARTLETT?) YANCEY
STATE: VIRGINIA
COUNTY: LOUISA
DATED: 1756
PROVED: 1764
RECORDED: WILL BOOK 1 PAGE 62 In the name of God Amen. I, ARCHELAUS YANCEY of St Martins Parish in Louisa County being in health and in perfect senses have thought fit to make this my Last Will and Testament making void all other wills whatsoever. I lend to my beloved Wife all of my estate real and personal during her widowhood which state if she should think proper to alter, it is my desire that the whole estate be taken out of her hands and sold, and the amount thereof to be equally divided amongst my children then living, and should any of my children die before and leave issue lawfully begotten, they to have their parents part, and in this manner: I desire my estate to be divided at her death should she not alter her state as above mentioned. It is my will that my Executors. pay off all my just debts from the profits arising from the crops. Lastly, I do make constitute and appoint WILLIAM CRENSHAW and my son STEPHEN YANCEY Executors of this my last will and Testament as Witness my hand & Seal this 4th Day May 1756. ARCHELAUS YANCEY (SEAL) FRANCIS CLARK ISAAC CLARK JOSEPH CLARK JAMES OVERTON. Junr. At a court held for Louisa County on the 12th Day of June 1764. This Will was this day proved in open court by the Oaths of ISAAC CLARK and JOSEPH CLARK witnesses thereto & by the court. Admitted to Record & is recorded Teste JAMES LITTLEPAGE Cl: Curk? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- SUBJECT: Information concerning Archelaus Yancey son of Charles is NOT found in most accounts of the Yancey family, so the compiler thought it would be a help to include in this compilation a letter written by Clarence L Yancey to Jean H Walker September 4, 1973. Clarence (deceased) was a descendant of Archelaus. QUOTE: "This brings us to Archelaus Yancey, father of Tyree Yancey, and obviously there were two by this name. Volume 7, page 224, W & M Quarterly shows that on August 7, 1725 there was a deed from Charles Yancey, Sr. to his son Archelaus in New Hanover County. In Louisa County, we find on March 14, 1742 a deed from John Morris, to Archelaus Yancey of St Martains Parish, Louisa County, 80 acres on a branch of Little River called Horse Pen Swamp adjoining lands of Archelaus Yancey (Deed Book A pg 51). On July 25th 1749, Archelaus Yancey and his wife, Mary, deeded property to Samuel Dedman in Book A pg 353. On May 4, 1756, Archelaus Y. of St Martains Parish, Louisa County wrote his will leaving his property to his wife and children with Stephen Yancey and William Crenshaws executors. As you know, this will was probated 12 June 1764 - Will Book 1 Page 62, Of Louisa County. On November 28, 1758, we find a deed from Samuel Stiles to Archelaus Yancey in Deed Book B page 286. WDY points out that in 1770 Mary Y. is listed in St Martains Parish, Hanover County with eight tithe tables and 275 acres. On Januray 14, 1770, Samuel Temple conveyed land to Mary Yancey of St Martains Parish, Louisa County. Deed Book D1/2, page 261. I find in my notes reference to a deed from Charles Yancey and his son Archelaus Y. dated 3 July 1775, of "Horse Pen adjoining Edward Garland and Samuel Sexon" and I wonder if this is not an error as to the date. I do not know where this referance came from. I think that William D Yancey correctly shows the children of Archelaus, son of Charles, to be as follows: 1. Stephen 2. Archelaus Jr. 3. Henry 4. John 5. Tyree 6. Jemima 7. Nathan 8. Joel. Stephen is named in the will and I therefore assume that he was the oldest. . . . In 1784 Mary Yancey appointed her son , John, as her agent which establishes the status of John. WDY points out that Jemima has been established as a daughter through D.A.R. records. On April 17, 1781, Mary Yancey conveyed land to her son, Henry, in deed book E, page 362, and Henry's will was probated December 23 1784 (Will book 3, page 43) and he left property to his mother Mary, so this establishes him as a son. The will of Nathan Yancey, as WDY points out leaves his estate to his nephew, Nathan son of John, who was a brother to Nathan. Should the nephew Nathan die the estate was to go to his nephew Joel son of his brother Joel. The will is dated November 17, 1789, so this establishes Nathan, John, and Joel as brothers and sons of Archelaus. On August 15, 1784, Archelaus of Louisa County mortgaged to Charles Yancey of Louisa his interest in the estate of his father Archelaus, which establishes this second Archelaus as a son and this rounds out the family. On June 8, 1795, we find a deed from Archelaus Yancey and his wife , Mary, of Elizabeth City County by John Duke, agent to Thomas Walsh, in Book 1 page 44 Louisa County. On February 11th, 1799, we find a deed from Charles Yancey as administrator of the estate of Archelaus Yancey to John Kimbrough in Book I page 557 , Louisa County. The several actions for debts were obviously against Archelaus Jr., as they come along in the 1770's and Archelaus had died prior to June 12, 1764."

Dorothy married Joseph Asbell in 1756 in , Probably, Perquimans, NC. Joseph was born in 1732 in Perquimans Co., North Carolina and died in 1819 in Probably Madison Co., Kentucky at age 87.

Jemima married Paul Gaskill in Owego, , N.Y. Paul was born about 1775 in Richmond, Cheshire Co, NH and died in 1822 in Indian Territory about age 47.

General Notes: Colleen Cornwell: "Elijah came to Il about 1835 according to land records. Was in Clinton Co Il in 1840 Census. Listed next door to Joseph Gaskill, his daughter Tabitha's husband. Nearby were James Kennedy and A. Kennedy, assumed sons. Have secured copies of both their wills and there is an inter-change of the three younger men. Alsa and Wyatt, who married Winnie Harryman, were probably sons, as were possibly David and Isaac." Joseph Gaskill was appointed guardian of Alsa (Alsey)'s children after his death. Milly never married, and went to Lawrence Co Mo with her brother Stephen's family. She died there in 1913. Milly's obituary lists both Stephen and Wyatt as living brothers.

The spelling of Canedy is one of several varients, of the Irish Gaelic, "Cinneidigh" or "Cinneide" which are one and the same. My name is Cannaday, my gggrandfather used Canady.... ALL OF WHICH ARE THE SAME NAME... In English the name is spelled Kennedy still the same name... the Library of Congress recognizes 35 spellings with about 125 varients. Depending on the time frame researched, the family may be any number of nationalities. It started in Ireland. The name was changed to fit in with the language of the people, the branch of the family, in your line, lived with. The family motto (Irish )is:"The Strong Hand Uppermost" (Scottish) is: "Consider the End". There are (3) different Translated meanings for the name, 1.Helmeted-head, 2.Ugly-head, 3.Grim-headed.
