NOTE: There were Traylor cousins in the Titus Co TX area, with similar names for their children, as were the names of William Edward Traylor’s children.

David’s father James Washington Traylor was an older borther of John Donaldson Traylor, William Edward Traylor’s father. So David Dunston Traylor (born 1878) was a first cousin of William Edward Traylor (born 1875). David Dunston Traylor’s children were all born in Titus Co: Eunice B, born 1901, married Henry Lee Adams; William Earnest, born 1903; James Milton, born 1905, married Tina Hazel Hall; Alice May, born 1907 and died the same day; Curtis David, born 1908, married Lorena Derrick; Jewell Alice, born 1910, married George William Truesdale and lived at Dallas; Woodrow Wilson, born 1911, married Alice Beasley; Howard, born 1914; Grover Oliver, born 1919, married Pauline Wilson and married Bessie Coyle; and Mary Allie, born 1921, died in 1928.

William Brownlow Jr was born 10 April 1825, and died in Giles Co on 7 October 1853; he was buried in the Campbellsville Cemetery in Giles Co.

Since Giles Co lost its marriage records about 1865 in the Civil War, it is difficult to tell when Martha married William Baker, but was probably in 1856. Martha was not found in any census record in 1850 as an East, so she probably had married William Brownlow in 1849 or early 1850 before the census was taken.

h.   Aily Alice Venable, b 19 Mar 1869 in Stokes Co NC. (W,240r) (W,M, 240jk)

      James Venable [E4c3a4g], son of Ursula East and William Venable, was born in 1797 in Stokes, NC, was one of the four sons age under 10 in 1800, and was one of the four sons age 10-15 in 1810. He was probably the James Venable in Lincoln Co KY since he was not found in 1820 in Surry Co. (M60,76e, 240h)

      James Venable [E4c3a4j2], son of Jesse Venable and Nancy Bowles, was born in 1825 in Surry Co NC. He was gone in the 1840 census, but at home in 1850, and gone again in the 1860 census. James married Susan R Franklin in Surry Co on 16 January 1862; his brother Pleasant provided the marriage bond. They had no children by 1870, and lived a few doors from his father at Dobson, Surry Co. Susan was born in NC in 1824. (240jnmr)

      James Venable [E4c3a4j5d], son of Stephen Nathan Venable and Keziah Jones, was born in 1869 in Surry Co NC, and died in the 1870s. (240ru)

      Jefferson Venable [E4c3a4b4], father unknown, but perhaps his father was Thomas Frederick Venable. Jefferson was born in 1820 (age 30 in 1850, 40 in 1860) in NC. He married Elizabeth _____ about 1839. Venable families have been researched for years, and no one has yet learned who the father of this Jefferson was. The logical father who could be Jefferson’s would be a son of Ursula East and William Venable because of the common names used for the sons of Jefferson. Some of the sons were: Pleasant, born 1844, Drury, born 1845, William, born 1848, and Jesse, born 1850. All these names were common names for the Ursula East-William Venable descendants. This Jefferson and his wife were mulatto, so Jefferson’s father could be any of the older sons of Ursula and William, plus one of the slave women on their farm. Jefferson and his wife were free persons, not slaves. They apparently moved residences in 1860 because they were caught in two censuses listings. One was at Mt Airy in Surry Co on August 4, and the second time was on August 18 at Bundys in Surry Co. Son Pleasant was also listed on the farm of Columbus Holyfield (born 1831) at Dobson on July 9. And sons John, Pleasant, and David were shown (Pleasant’s fourth listing) in 1860 bound out to Hardin Holyfield [E4c3a4d1] and wife Pauline Butcher (ages 45 & 47) at Rockford, on September 14. This Holyfield farm was the county’s poor farm. Hardin Holyfield was a son of Margaret Venable [E4c3a4d] and Watson Holyfield.

      Jefferson was a blacksmith. In 1850 they lived at Hollow Springs. Elizabeth was born in 1820 in NC. They had nine or more children before she died in the 1860s. Jeff then married Mary Ann Love on 11 July 1868 in Surry Co and lived next door to Iredell Venable [E4c3a4b7] in 1870 at Mt Airy. Mary was born in NC in 1829 (age 21 in 1850, 27 in 1860, 31 in 1870, 40 in 1880), daughter of Thomas Love and Mary Evans. Jefferson died in the 1870s and Mary lived at Pilot, Surry Co next to two Lowe families. They had two sons. Jefferson’s children were-*

a.    Sarah Venable, b 1840 (240nq), maybe married Alfred Marion in 1874?

b.   John Venable, b 1842, lived with his brothers Pleasant and David in the Hardin Holyfield [E4c3a4d1] home in 1860 at Rockford. (240nq)

c.    Pleasant Venable, b 1843 (240nq)

d.   Drury Venable, b Mar 1847, lived at Jamestown Village Creek, Greene Co OH in 1900 and 1910. He had married Eveline _____ in 1887. She was born in MN in Dec 1859. Drury was a blacksmith, as was his father. This was a second marriage for both. His first wife was Maggie _____. She was born in NC of TN parents, and probably died where they lived in Silver Creek Twp, Greene Co OH of kidney failure. The 1880 census showed not children for them, and she had kidney disease. Drury had at least three children by 1910, all born in OH-*

      Jesse Venable [E4c3a4h], son of Ursula East and William Venable Jr, was not shown as a son in 1790, but was one of the four boys age 10 to 15 in 1810. Hence, he was born about 1799 (age 16 to 25 in 1820, age 40s in 1840, 61 in 1860, 71 in 1870, 81 in 1880), and was named after his father’s brother (born 1 September 1762) who had married about the same time William and Ursula married. Jesse married Nancy Bowles in Surry Co on 29 January 1823, and they lived in Surry Co for the rest of their lives. She was born in 1805 in NC, daughter of William Bowles and Ailey Rainwaters. Jesse wrote his will in Surry Co on 24 April 1880, and was still alive in June that year. In his will he named his three youngest daughters (they got the home, furniture, and stock), Elizabeth Haymore (a daughter?), son Stephen Venable, son James Venable, and two Ellis boys named Ewell and Abram Ellis (these two “to count as one heir”). Jesse’s will was witnessed by Ewell E Venable and Iradell A Venable; Jesse’s son Stephen was the executor. Nancy was not named in Jesse’s will, and she was not with the family in 1860, so she apparently died in Surry Co in the 1850s. They lived their lives in Surry Co. Jesse and Nancy had three children by 1830, five more by 1840, and one more born 1841-*

There was a Jesse Venable in Stokes Co in 1820, but he was born 14 May 1787, son of John {Venable}, and had two other males in the house with him who were born about the same time. The Stokes Co Jesse had married Charity Eaton in Stokes Co on 22 February 1822, and their children were born in Stokes Co. (W,76e,240himjkqrsp)

      John Venable [E4c3a4e], son of Ursula East and William Venable Jr, was not shown as a son in 1790, so was born that year after the census was taken. He was age 16 to 25 in 1820, but age 30 to 39 in 1830, and 40 to 49 in 1840. He was named after his father’s brother (born 1 September 1762) who had married about the same time William and Ursula married. John (Jr) was not found in his parents’ home in 1810, so was probably living with his wife’s family, a common occurrence for newly married couples. John was living next door to his father in 1820, and was by then married and had three daughters under age 10 in his home. He had married Nancy _____ about 1810. She was born in 1788 in NC. In 1820 one of John’s or Nancy’s younger sisters also lived with them. John and Nancy lived in Surry Co in 1820 through 1840 until he died. In 1850 Nancy and a son were living in Surry Co. In 1860 Nancy lived with a daughter. They had eight or nine children-*

a.    girl Venable, b 1810s (240i)

b.   boy Venable, b 1810s, was living with his Venable grandparents in 1820, next door to his own parents’ home. With five children under age 10 in 1820, the grandparents helped by taking the two young boys into their home. This son was not found afterwards, so may have died by 1830. (240i)

c.    Sarah Venable, b 1815, married William Bowles. William was born in 1813 in NC. In 1860 Sarah’s mother Nancy lived with her and William at Rockford, Surry Co. Living close by was Joshua Venable (born 1825). Also in their home was 11 year old Mary Venable, and she was listed last, as if she were under the care of Sarah’s mother and not Sarah. (240ikq)

d.   John Venable, b 1816, was probably one of the three young boys in his Venable grandparents’s home in 1820, next door to his parents’ home. He was not found after 1850. (240ijn)

e.    girl Venable, b 1810s (240i)

f.    boy Venable, b 1821-1825. This may be Joshua Venable, who lived a few doors from Sarah Venable and her husband William Bowles in 1860 in Surry Co. Joshua had married Elizabeth Snow on 2 August 1849 in Surry Co; Isham Venable provided the marriage bond. Because of the 1845 birth of Joshua’s first daughter, Joshua was probably married before the marriage with Elizabeth Snow. She was born in NC in 1823 and they had four children by 1860-*

He married Letitia Cockerham in 1904 and in 1910 they lived at Trap Hill, Wilkes Co for the rest of their lives. Luther died in Wilkes Co on 6 June 1961. Letitia was born in NC in 1881, daughter of Alex M Cockerham and Mary J Floyd. They had two sons by 1910, both born in NC-*

Letitia’s widowed mother lived with them in 1910. There is a marriage between Luther Glenn Venable and Myrl Virginia Scott in Surry Co on 23 December 1936. (240msu,1118v)

      Margaret “Peggy” Venable [E4c3a4d], daughter of Ursula East and William Venable Jr, was born 22 November 1789 in Stokes Co NC. She was one of three females in her home in 1790, was one of two daughters age 10-15 in 1800, and was one of the two daughters in the 16 to 25 age group in the 1810 census. Margaret died 23 April 1854 in Surry Co. She married Watson Holyfield (spelled Holderfield) on 29 December 1814 in Surry Co. Ralph Holderfield supplied the marriage bond (and lived with them in 1850; Ralph was born in 1780 in NC). Watson was born 17 March 1791 in Surry Co, son of Valentine Holyfield and Susannah _____, and died 23 April 1854 in Surry Co. They had five known children, all born in Surry Co NC-

      Martin Venable [E4c3a4i], son of Ursula East and William Venable, was born about 1801 in Stokes Co NC. He was one of three sons age under 10 in 1810, and was the son age 16-25 in the 1820 census. Martin married Frances Forkner in Surry Co NC in the 1820s. There was no Martin Venable found in 1830. The only Martin Venable found in 1840 was in Jackson Co GA; that Martin and his wife were born in the 1810s, not in the 1800s, and they had no children. They appear on the 1850 census in Scott Co VA, with children born between 1832 and 1846. His wife Nancy was age 37 and Martin was age 39. Ten years later Martin was still there, but Nancy had died in the 1850s. And Martin was then age 49. still living in Scott Co but without a wife. Therefore, the original Martin Venable who was born in 1801 must have died, and the Jackson Co GA and Scott Co VA Martin Venable must be from another family. (M60, 240himp,247k,1123nq)

      Mary Venable [E4c3a4j], daughter of Ursula East and William Venable Jr, was born in 1803 in Surry Co NC. She was the daughter under age 10 in the 1810 census, and was probably the young woman living with her brother John in 1820. Mary married her cousin William L Laffoon [E4c3a2b5] on 4 January 1825. Her line is continued under his name.

      Mary Venable [E4c3a4j1], daughter of Jesse Venable and Nancy Bowles, was born in 1821 (1823-1825 in 1830 & 1840 census) in Surry Co NC. She married Henderson W Ellis in Surry Co on 31 December 1845 and lived at Siloam, Surry Co in 1850. Henderson was born in NC in 1818 They had two sons, then Mary died in the 1850s before her father’s 24 April 1880 will was written, and was not named in her father’s will. Henderson married a second time on 6 May 1855 in Surry Co to Aley Gentry and they had four more children by 1870. Mary’s two Ellis sons were-*

a.    Ewell Ellis, b 1846 (240nqp)

b.   Abram Ellis, b 1848, was married to Martha J Cockerham in Surry Co on 24 October 1869. They at first lived with Martha’s widowed mother Mary in 1870 at Bryan, Surry Co. Martha was born in Surry Co in December 1849, daughter of Pleasant Branch Cockerham and Mary Hughes Thompson. In 1900 Martha lived at Bryan next door to her son Pleasant, and with her two other sons. The census taker said that she was married, not a widow, and put a 7 in the number of years column that she was married. This cannot be correct, and probably she had seven children by in 1900, with four still living. This was confirmed in the 1910 census. Mary was still then living at Bryan, next door to her son Pleasant. Abram died in the 1890s. He and Martha had seven children, all born at Bryan, Surry Co NC-*

      1.   Pleasant H Ellis, b Nov 1870, died in May 1926 in Surry Co. Pleasant married Mary I Nixon in Surry Co on 13 January 1895 and in 1900 lived at Bryan next door to his mother. Mary was born in April 1872 in NC. They had no children by 1910. (240smud)

      Nancy A Venable [E4c3a4j5a], daughter of Stephen Nathan Venable and Keziah Jones, was born in April 1861 in Surry Co NC. She claimed age 20 when married in 1883, was age 39 in 1900, and 48 in 1910. Nancy married Thomas A Dobbins at Bryan, Surry Co on 30 September 1883 and they lived at Dobson for years. Thomas was born in February 1852 at Dobson, Surry Co, (claimed he was age 29 when married, was age 48 in 1900, 58 in 1910) son of Nathan Dobbins and Vester “Vashtie” Calloway. Witnesses at this marriage were L M Venable, D D Whit, and D D Dobbins. In 1920 Thomas’ wife was named Della, but the birth year was correct for Nancy. In 1920 Porter was the only child living at home. Thomas died 31 October 1927 at age 75 in Forsyth Co. Nancy died 6 May 1955 at age 94 in NC.

      Pleasant Venable [E4c3a4a], son of Ursula East and William Venable, was born about 1780 in Surry Co NC. His full name may have been William Pleasant Venable; if so, he used the Pleasant name to differentiate himself from his father. There were a few marriages in Surry Co over the years where a Pleasant Venable provided the bond: Mary Venable & William Laffoon, on 4 January 1825; Hughes East (son of John) & Rosanna Hodge, on 10 August 1827; Stephen Venable & Kesiah Jones, on 5 May 1860, and James Venable & Susan R Franklin on 16 January 1862, but because of these latter marriage dates being in the 1860s, these last two bond suppliers must have been a grandson of the 1760 William Venable. No census record of Pleasant Venable was ever found, yet we know that he existed because of the marriage bonds he provided; he must have been a generous uncle. He lived with his parents or with a close relative all his life.

      Pleasant was appointed to be the administrator of the estate of Bennett Creed in Surry Co on 15 February 1828 and Robert L Creed provided the security bond of $200. And in the mid 1820s Pleasant Venable was appointed to be the Surry Co constable; John Roberts, Alfred Martin, Churchwell Oglesby, and Drury McGee helped provide the security bond. He was the constable again in May 1828 and in early 1831. In 1829 Pleasant was on jury duty. In 1828 Pleasant transferred a deed to Robert S Creed (Robert L Reed?). Pleasant was paid for traveling 14 miles in two days for the court in November 1830 (3.5 miles one way from home?), and 28 miles in three days in May 1831 (4.6 miles one way from home?). Court records show that Pleasant was still active in Surry Co in 1832, and he was still the constable.

      The Pleasant Venable from the 1830 census was not in his home, but he was still alive since “P Venable” provided the marriage bond for his sister Rebecca on 9 September 1831. The eldest woman in the Pleasant Venable home in 1830 was born in the 1760s (his mother). The eldest males in the home then were born in the 1800s (Pleasant’s youngest brothers); there were three of them. There was a male and female born between 1811 and 1815, and one female born in the 1800s. Hence, this was Pleasant Venable’s home, but Pleasant was not there, and the young adults and teens were his siblings. The elderly woman must have been his mother Ursula.

About money used in VA: In the latter years of the 18th Century, a mixture of mostly pounds and some dollars were used in court expenses charged and paid, with an exchange rate of about $4 per £1. But in the 1820s, dollars were used more often, and with an exchange rate of one cent being equal to one shilling. Since 20 shillings was one pound, then the pound was then equal to 20 cents, quite a drop in value of the pound in the past 50 years. (W,M62,M60,76ae, 240imjy)

      Pleasant Venable [E4c3a4j6], son of Jesse Venable and Nancy Bowles, was born in 1837 in Surry Co NC. He was likely the Pleasant Venable who enlisted in the Confederate Army in Surry Co on 8 July 1862. He was in Company F, 23rd Infantry. (M, 240knq)

      Rebecca Venable [E4c3a4p], daughter of Ursula East and William Venable Jr, was born in 1810 or 1811 in Surry Co NC after the 1810 census. She married Wilson Laffoon [E4c3a2b9], her cousin, in Surry Co on 9 September 1831. Her brother “P Venable” provided the marriage bond. Rebecca died in Surry Co about 1835 without any known children, and Wilson then married Margaret Haynes (Haines?) on 11 December 1837 in Surry Co. (M60, 240ijkmn)

      Rosa Nevada Venable [E4c3a4j5f], daughter of Stephen Nathan Venable and Keziah Jones, was born 12 June 1875 (age 52 in 1930) in Surry Co NC. She married James Rowan Baker in Surry Co on 4 January 1905. James was born in Davie Co NC on 29 March 1881. His parents were the next door neighbors in 1910: Thomas Jefferson Baker (age 69) and Margaret Elmira Blackwelder (age 68). Rosa and James lived at Byran. He died 2 January 1966 and Rosa died in Surry Co on 22 November 1962. They had five children, all born in Surry Co-*

Sarah may have married about 1824 and had two children, then married again to Drewry McGee on 16 January 1828 in Surry Co. She died 1 March 1850 in Surry Co and was buried in the McGee-Venable Cemetery in Surry Co. Drewry was born in VA in 1763. Drewry and Sarah had children-*

1.   Iredell McGee, b1826 in Surry Co NC. He may have been a son of a first marriage of his mother, but used the family name McGee, his mother’s second husband. (240n)

2.   Lucinda McGee, b 1826 in Surry Co NC. She may have been a daughter of a first marriage of her mother, but used the family name McGee, her mother’s second husband. (240n)

3.   Drewry McGee, b 1828 in Surry Co NC. He married Permelia Taylor on 1 September 1856 in Surry Co. Drewry’s brother Iredell McGee provided the marriage bond. (240nm)

Sarah’s nephew Jefferson Venable [E4c3a4b4], born 1820, lived next door in 1850. (W,76ae,240hmn)

      Stephen Nathan Venable [E4c3a4j5], son of Jesse Venable and Nancy Bowles, was born in June 1835 in Surry Co NC. He married Keziah Jones in Surry Co on 5 May 1860; Pleasant Venable supplied the marriage bond. Stephen used his middle name in 1850, but used Stephen when he married. Keziah was born in NC in October 1840 (age 19 in 1860, 23 in 1870, 59 in 1900). In 1870 Stephen lived next door to his father and younger sisters. They had four children by 1870, and ten by 1900 with six still alive-

      Thomas Frederick Venable [E4c3a4b], son of Ursula East and William Venable, was born about 1785 in Surry Co NC after the state census was taken in the mid-1780s, and was age under 16 in the Federal 1790 census. In the 1800 Federal census he was age 10-15. In 1810 he was the single male age 16-25. Thomas married Mary Priscilla Forkner in Surry Co on 23 December 1809; Jesse Smith provided the marriage bond. Priscilla was born about 1780. She was age 40s in 1840, 60 in 1850, 80 in 1860, 90 in 1870, 106 in 1880 and was then bedridden, living with her grandson William Venable; the 1880 census called her a grandmother in William’s home. In 1810 they lived two doors from his parents in Surry Co, and four doors from Isaac Copeland, who was probably the father of the husband of Elizabeth East [E4c3a3g]. Thomas died in the 1830s in Surry Co and Priscilla was found there as the head of her family in 1840. At that time in her home were two teenage boys, one older teenage girl, a young woman, and Priscilla. They lived in Surry Co close to Thomas’ brother Pleasant Venable in 1830, and had eight children by then-*

1.   boy Venable, b 1811-1815, possibly married Charlotte _____, had three children, then died. See son James. A search of the Surry Co marriage records for a Ms Charlotte and a Mr Venable who married about 1840 gave no results. The only other reasonable solution was that the daughter Charlotte in the 1850 census was actually a daughter-in-law and her marriage records are lost, or Charlotte was a daughter and had three children without a marriage, or else she married a cousin Venable. In 1850 Mrs Priscilla (Forkner) Venable was living in Surry Co with three young children of age to be grandchildren-*

      a.    William Madison Venable, b Feb 1841 in Surry Co NC. He was living with his grandmother Priscilla in 1850. He was not living with any Venable family in 1860, but was bound over to Presley Badgett and his wife Elizabeth (born 1824 & 1825) who lived at Dobson. William’s brother James lived next door with the Robert & Mary Marion family at that time. William married Susan Chandler on 23 March 1864 in Surry Co. Susan was born 26 January 1841 at Ashville, St Clair Co AL, daughter of James E Chandler and Ellenor Norwood, and died 12 November 1930 at Rattan, Sabine Par LA. In 1870 William’s grandmother Priscilla (age 90) lived with him at Dobson. He and Susan had eight children, all born at Eldora, Surry Co. Some were-*

             2.   John Venable, b 1865 (240r)

In the marriage records, James’ mother’s name Charlotte was given, but no father’s name. Letha was born in NC in 1846, daughter of Joseph Parker and Mary Hickman. They had a daughter-*
