E3a - Haplogroup E3a is an Africa lineage.
It is currently hypothesized that this haplogroup dispersed south from northern Africa within the last 3,000 years, by the Bantu
agricultural expansion. E3a is also the most common lineage among African Americans
My Notes On This
Group: The Roman Empire was the first to use troops all over the world they
left blood groups ever where they went from Countries of Africa to England: The
Roman Empire was one of the VAST spreading Empires in the World to first use
troops of other Countries it conquered. The use of using other troops from
Conquered Countries spread with each developing Empire.

Notes: Some Quaker dates have
been translated Before the 1752 calendar change, the first month of the

before the quoted excerpts below. From: Mary E. Stewart
In 1752 the new
year began to be counted from Jan 1. Before that it ran from March 26-March 25,
Julian Calender changed. So a date in July 1750 would be earlier in the
same "year" as one in Feb 1750 (which once 1752 rolled around, would
be thought of as the next year). From: Barbara Schenck

Albemarle County, Virginia, formed in 1745 from Goochland County, suffered
the loss of its Court Order Books for the period just before and during the
Revolution, constituting a period of about 30 years. During a part of this time
Albemarle was a very large county,
including most of what is now Fluvanna, Buckingham,
Amherst and Nelson Counties.
Most of the will and deed books are extant for this period. The court order
books, however, are often a source of information about people who either lived
in the county briefly or who never bought or sold land or made a will. Many of
the records are warrants, promissory notes, store accounts, complaints, etc.,
especially involving merchants. There are a few chancery suits, grand jury
presentments, depositions and ordinary licenses. There is also a list, presumably
made in the early 1780's, listing what records remained, not "destroyed by
the enemy".
During most of the
period covered by this, John Nicholas was Clerk of the Court, but had a number
of deputies, such as Ben Harris, John Ware, John Fleming, Henry Fry and Joshua
Fry.

Notes from other Counties that come into Albemarle County
1727 Era: Norman Parks wrote:
The Parks family escaped the clear focus of history in Virginia until George Washington's day. An earlier Parks
had been killed by the Indians in 1619 near Jamestown. Several other men
bearing that name appear later in the colony's history. But the roots of the
present Parks family are found in one Parks for whom George Washington did some surveying.
One married into the Curtis family, and the tie of George Washington
Parke Curtis to the Lee family gives support to the claim of Joe Wiley Parks
that he was related to Robert E. Lee.
Thomas Parks, one of this family, settled in Albemarle County in the Virginia Piedmont some years
prior to 1727. Since he left all of his property to his oldest son, his
band of younger sons moved to North Carolina, settling along the Yadkin River
high on the Piedmont in what is now Wilkes County.
Here in 1783, Thomas Parks, son of a fighter at Kings Mountain,
was born. In 1811 he took wife a Quaker girl named Sally London, and their
first child,
John London Parks, was born in 1812. By 1814 the family was settled in Maury County, Tennessee. Grown to manhood,
John London Parks met Melinda Crafton at the Roberson Fork Church of
Christ and made her his wife in 1836.
Here is
information from a book "Like Ole Man River", A History of the Parks,
Boshears, Crafton, McGuire, Tipton and Dial Families - From 1607 TO 1986.
Written by Norman Lexington Parks, born 1904, TN.
Norman L. Parks was a professor at a Middle Tennessee University. His parents
were Joe Wiley Parks and Victoria Boshears. He said Thomas de Parke, born in
the 1600's was progenitor of his Parks lineage From: Jo Ann Crafton

1730 ERA of Albemarle County
One of the earliest patents of land in Albemarle County was Charles Hudson of Hanover County. His first entry was made in 1730 on the Hardware, below Carter’s Bridge. It was for 2,000 acres and with in the next 3 years he obtained grants for 1,600 more acres in the same locaility. It embraced Mount Air, which was on of the seat of the Hudson Family for more then 100 years. The stream entering the south side of the Hardware below Mount Air was formerly known as Hudsons Creek. Charles Hudson also took out a patent in 1735 for 2,000 acres on Ivy Creek Southwest of Ivy Depot, which he sold two years later to the Elder Michael Woods, It is almost certain he never lived in Albemarle County himself. He died in 1748 and the executor of his estate was his son in law John Wingfield.
Charles Hudson wife was probably a Royal, and his children were
William Hudson,
John Hudson,
Christopher Hudson,
Mary Hudson the wife of John
Wingfield,
Elizabeth
Hudson the wife of Nicholas Johnson,
Rebecca Hudson the wife of
Robert Wathen,
Sarah Hudson
the wife of Richard Holland,
and Ann Hudson the wife of
Joseph Lewis.
In 1762 Mary Wingfield was still living in Hanover County, she conveyed to her son Charles Wingfield part of 500 acres in Albemarle County given to her by her father (Charles Hudson) land was named Prospect where Charles was living at the time. This Charles Wingfield was the forefather of most of the Wingfields who have resided in Albemarle County.
John Hudson had his residence on the lower Hardware, and he died in 1768. He and his wife Ann had four children
Charles Hudson,
John Hudson,
Christopher Hudson and
Charles Hudson married Jane
Lewis daughter of Col Charles Lewis Jr, of Buck Island. Their Daughter Martha
Eppes Lewis was the wife of Tucker Moore Woodson, who about 1804 removed to Kentucky.
Charles Hudson seems not to have been prosperous in his affairs. In 1807 he exchanged with Samuel Dyer the place on Hardware where he lived for a tract of land in Barren Co. Kentucky, to which he probably removed. John Hudson who died in 1827,
Charles Hudson who died in 1837, and whose daughter
Isaette Hudson became the
wife of Isaac R. Barksdale,
Elizabeth Hudson the wife of
Charles A. Scott,
Rebecca Hudson the wife of
William Henderson,
Sarah Hudson,
Mary Hudson the wife of a
Cobbs and
Ann Barber the wife of John Henderson.
Christopher Hudson the son of the first Charles Hudson displayed more of the ability and thrift of his father than any other of his descendants. At the time of his death, which took place in 1825 he was possessor of more the 5,000 acres of land. He was appointed a magistrate in 1800, but 4 years after resigned. His home was at Mount Air. He married Sarah Anderson daughter of David Anderson and his children were

He made his first entry of land in 1732 and up to 1741 had obtained patents for near 1,200 acres on the West side of the South west Mountain. His home was where William W. Minor now resides. His Children were
Martin Key,
John Key,
Mary Key wife of a Dalton.
Martin Key succeded to the home and estate of his father and by repeated purchases became the owner of all the land reaching from Edgemont, the place of the late Henry Magrudre, down to the bend of the river on the farm of the late R.F.

Walter Key,
Elizabeth Key wife of James
Daniel
Martha Key wife of John
White.
Each of his sons was comfortably provided for by their fathers will, though intimation are there given that the habits of some unfitted them for proper management of their affairs.
Within the first score of years in the present century the members of this household were for the most part scattered over the South and West. Thomas Key removed to South Carolina where he invented some contrivance for the more effective action of water wheels.
The families of John Keys, James Keys, Martha Keys White, emigrated to Kentucky and Tennessee and that of Elizabeth Keys Daniels to North Carolina,
Tandy Keys lived for many years in the Southern part of the county near Covesville, but is said to have removed eventually to Fluvanna County.
Jesse P. Keys a son of Tandy Keys married Sarah Woods, daughter of the Younger William Woods of Beaver Creek, and lived some time near Mechum’s Depot.
William Bibb Keys married Mourning Clark daughter of Christopher Clark and went to Elbert County Georgia.
Henry Keys settled in Bedford County and
Jesse Keys died in Richmond in 1826.
Walter Keys appears to have been the only one who spent his whole life in this County and his death occurred in 1834.
John Keys, Tandy Keys, and Joshua Keys were magistrates of
the county and Walker Keys was appointed to the office, but declined to accept.
John Keys served as Sheriff in 1795 and Tandy Keys in 1809. John Keys was an

From: Sherrie Boone
The
marriage itself most likely occurred well before 1750. William’s oldest son, Philip Johnson , was
probably born about that time.
It is said
that he had married Martha Jones, daughter of Lane Jones, but the actual
marriage record has not been found.
Obviously his wife was a Martha.
Another 1757 deed from William’s mother to his brother Thomas provides
some hints that William Johnson was associated with Orlando Jones and quite
probably married a Martha Jones, sister of Orlando Jones.
A family history
of Gideon Macon has stated that:
Lane Jones, son
of Orlando and Martha Macon Jones, b. 15 June 1707, d. ca. 1750, m. 1727 Anne
Barber. They were the parents of:
(1) Martha Jones, b. 1728, m. William Johnson of Louisa Co., VA.
(2) Ann Jones,
b. 1729, m. John Hudson of Albemarle
Co., VA.,
(3) Lane Jones,
Jr. b. 1733, d. 1734.
(4) Orlando Jones, b. 1735,
(5) Rowland
Jones, b. 19 April 1738,
(6) Frances
Barber Jones, b. 1740,
(7) William
Jones, b. 1746, lived in Hanover
Co., VA.
(Macon &
Wood, Alethea, Gideon Macon of Virginia and Some of His Descendants)
The name of one of William
Johnson’s granddaughters does seem to support this statement. She was called
Martha Jones Wiley in the will of Ann Cosby. Laine Jones Bible apparently
contained the following:

The Reverend
Rowland Jones was the father of Orlando, Sr. and also of Anna Maria. Anna Maria married several times and one
marriage was to William Timson who died in 1719. Her last marriage was to a Thornton. Anna Maria’s will was
probated in November 1760 in York
County (Wright, Edward
F., York County, Virginia Wills, Inventories and Accounts,
1760-1783. 2005, p.3). She did not mention Martha Jones Johnson by
name, but subsequent court documents indicate that Martha Johnson was one of
her heirs. Some time in 1760, William and Martha were participants in a suit in

1735 ERA Albemarle County
William Randolph of Tuckahoe Creek was the
first of the name to enter land within the present limits of Albemarle County. In 1735
he was granted 2,400 acres on the North side of the Rivanna River near the
Mountains, a little below Mountain Falls. On the Organization of the county he
was appointed it clerk. At his death his land passed to his son, Thomas Mann
Randolph of Tuckahoe Creek. Neither William Randolph or Thomas Mann Randolph resided
in the county he was appointed its clerk, but soon after the marriage of Thomas
Mann Randolph’s son bearing the name Thomas Mann Randolph with Martha Jefferson
and his second marriage with Gabriella Harvie daughter of John Harvie, the land
was transferred by the father to the son. The latter then made Edgehill his home. He
engaged with much activity in public affairs. He was appointed a magistrate in
1794 elected to congress in 1801, and chosen Governor of Virginia in 1819. He
displayed a lively zeal in promoting the interests of agriculture in the
county. He died in 1828. His Children were
Ann Randolph wife of
Charles L. Bankhead,
Thomas J. Randolph,
Ellen Randolph wife of
Joseph Coolidge of Boston,
Cornelia Randolph wife of
Nicholas P. Trist,
Dr. Benjamin F. Randolph
and
George Wythe Randolph.
The home of Charles L.
Bankhead was Canton, he was married twice. His children by his first wife
were
John W. Bankhead, who died in Missouri,
Ellen Monroe Bankhead wife
of John Coles Carter, and
Thomas Mann Bankhead who
settled in Arkansas.
His second wife was Mary
Carthrae a granddaughter of General Samuel H. Lewis of Rockingham County. He died
about 1833, leaving one son Charles L. by the last Marriage.
The Stalwart and venerable
figure of Col. Thomas J. is familiar to many still living. For many years he
took a leading part in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the county. He
was a magistrate a member of the Legislature, a devoted member of the County
Agricultural Society and President of the Farmers Bank. He married Jane
Nicholas daughter of Governor W.C. Nicholas.
Benjamin F. was a physician
and lived at the South end of Carters Mountain. He married Sarah Carter
daughter of Robert H. Carter. In addition to his professional labors he was
appointed magistrate in 1846 and for several terms was a member of the State
Senate. George W. was admittied to the Albemarle
bar in 1840 and a few years after removed to
Richmond. In the days of the Confederacy he was its last Secretary of War.
Colonel Richard Randolph of
Henrico County
owned land in Albemarle County. In 1760 he obtained a grant of 240 acres on Moores
Creek. At some time he purchased 1,200 acres adjoining the tract just mentioned
from some one, perhaps William Taylor who seemed to have entered it in 1737.
To. Dr. Thomas Walker as trustee of the county, he sold 1,000 acres of this
land, on which in 1762 Charlottesville the new Courthouse was established. He
also entered nerly 1,500 acres in the Southern part of the county on Green
Creek. He probably never resided on this land, but managed it through the
agency of overseers.
Governor Edmund Randolph
was also a landholder in Albemarle County. In 1786 he purchased from John Fry 2,500 acres on Green
Mountain including the Viewmont estate. For some years he sought relaxation
from his professional and official cares in looking after this property. In
1793 he petitioned for the right to erect a mill on Hardware, where Colonel Fry
had had one before. He sold this land to William C. Carter in 1798.
In 1805 Dr. Thomas Eaton Randolph bought
from Johnson Rowe the land opposite Milton on which is situated the estate of Glenmore.
His wife was Jane Cary sister of Governor Thomas Mann Randolph. He was
appointed a magistrate of the county in 1807. In 1813 he sold Glenmore to Louis
H. Guardian the continuator of Burk’s History of Virginia and purchased a
plantation further down the river on Carrolls Creek called Ashton. His daughter
Elizabeth Randolph became the wife of Francis Eppes Jr. the grandson of Mr.
Jefferson.
In the decade of 1840 John
T. Randolph came to the county from the Valley and married Ann Farish daughter
of William P. Farish. In 1862 he entered the Baptist Ministry. Albemarle County History by Reverend Edgar Woods, ISBN # 1-933268-51-4: Published

Charles Moorman came from Isle of Wright England and in 1744 was living in Louisa County not far from Green Spring. He was a leading Quaker and at that time he and his son Thomas Moorman were overseers of the Friends Meeting House on Camp Creek in Louisa County. As Early as 1735 they were both patentees of land with in the present Albemarle County. Charles Moorman entered 400 acres at the forks of the Rivanna near the Blue Mountains, the junction of Mechums and Moormans Rivers and the entry of Thomas Moorman comprehended the present Carrsbrook and was Later described as including the Indian Grave low gorunds. Seven years later Thomas Moorman entered a larger tract further up the Moormans River and thus gave his name to a stream. Charles Moorman also purchased land on Totier Creek where two of his sons lived, Thomas Moorman and Robert Moorman. He himself appears never to have resided in the county.

William Woods no
doubt the oldest of the family born in 1706 succeeded his father at Mountain
Plains, the old homestead. He seems to have been unfortunate in his business
affairs. Twice he mortgaged his property first to Thomas Walker, and then to a
number of Valley men among whom were his brother- in- law John Bowyer, and his
nephew Samuel McDowell. At length in 1774 he made sale of it to Thomas Adams of Augusta County. At that time he was living in Fincastle County. His wife was Susanna Wallace a sister of

mile north of Crozet, an this account as there were two other William Woodses

many respects he was a remarkable man, in his spheres somewhat of a born ruler,
of fine sense and great decision. Many amusing stories have been told on his
management of men and things, particulary of his fostering care over Mountain
Plains Church. He died in 1836, 92 years of age. He was married 3 times, first

See report
1738 ERA ROCKFISH
The Mayos have had a name and
place in Albemarle County from the Beginning. Colonel William Mayo the County
Surveyor of Goochland County obtained a patent for 800 acres on the branches of
Rockfish River, near the blue Mountain, in 1738. The patent of Dr. William
Cabell for 4,800 acres on both sides of the Fluvanna obtained the same year
adjoined this entry of Mayo. Among the first deeds recorded in Albemarle, is one
from Ann Mayo conveying this land to Robert Barnett in 1748.
In 1749 Philip Mayo of Henrico County entered
400 acres on the branches of Hardware River situated in the limestone belt and
long known as the Limestone Survey. In 1752 he sold it to Peter Jefferson,
Joshua Fry, Arthur Hopkins, Thomas
Meriwether, Daniel Scott, and William
Stith, President of William and Mary College. It is presumed that in making
this purchase these gentleman had in mind some project for utilizing the
mineral it contained.
The original record of the
deed having been destroyed it was restored in 1802. As late as 1830 these
separate interests were not united as in that year Governor Gilmer as executor
of Christopher Hudson sold to George Gilmer his father one sixth of the tract.
James Mayo died in 1777
leaving 11 sons and 2 daughters. The most of them no doubt lived in Goochland County. One
Thomas Mayo who belonged to that County bought in 1779 from Thomas Collins 400
acres on Edge Creek the small branch of Moore’s Creek that runs on the East
side of the Teel place. 4 years later Thomas Mayo sold part of this tract to
his brother Richard George Mayo. If Richard George Mayo ever lived on it, he
removed elsewhere as in 1809 his brother Joseph Mayo as his attorney sold it to
another brother James Mayo. James Mayo died in 1821 in his 83 year of life. His

In the latter part of the last
Century Robert Rives who married Margaret daughter of Colonel William Cabell, transacted an
extensive business at Warminster, Nelson County in the interprising spirit which inspired his undertakings.
He established a branch house in Milton soon after the founding of that town
under the form of Borwn, Rives and Co. The partners were James Brown of Richmond, Robert Rives
and Robert Burton. He also became the owner of large and valuable tracts of
land in Albemarle County. For the Bolling Spring planation, which he bough from John
Patterson of Baltimore, in 1818 he gave $60,000 the largest sum perhaps ever paid
for any farm in this region. His sons William C. Rives,
George Rives,
Henry Rives,
Robert Rives, and
Alexander Rives all resided in Albemarle County.
William C. Rives married Judith
Walker daughter of Francis Walker, who inherited Castle Hill as her
portion of her father’s estate. About the same time he became a member of the Albemarle Bar. His career
in public is a matter of History. He did service in the Legislature in the
United States Senate and as Minister to
France. He was regarded as one of the most
finished orators of his day. After his retirement he was occupied in writing a
history of the life and times of James Madison. He died in 1868.
George Rives married Mary Eliza
Carter, daughter of Robert Carter. His home was at Sherwood on the north side
of the Hardware River below Carter’s Bridge. He married next Maria Tucker
daughter of Professor George Tucker, and died in 1874. Henry Rives received
from his father a plantation on Green Mountain in 1827.
Robert Rives married Elizabeth

The Jameson’s were settled at an early day on the Moorman’s River both above and below Whitehall. John Jameson took out a patent for land on the North side of that stream in 1741 and Samuel Jameson his brother of son on the branches of Spring Creek in 1747. In 1765 Samuel Jameson purchased land in the old Woods Gap from Archibald Woods who had entered it in 1756. His Son Alexander Jameson sold it in 1809 to David Stephenson of Augusta County.

It is reported that Thomas Jameson who was a physican in
busy practice in Charlottesville in the
early part of the Century was a scion of this stock. IN 1806 he lived on the
lot on which the family of J.J. Conner resides at present, and which he
purchased from William G. Garner, In one of his conveyances it is described as
being on the upper street leading to Jameson’s Gap. That being evidently the
name of what is now called Turks Gap. He married Evalina Alcock daughter of
William Alcock and his sister was the 2nd wife of John Kelly. In
1815 he sold his residence to Mr. Kelly and it is believed he emigrated to the
West. Albemarle County History by

151, 152, 153: The Browns of Brown's Cove were a Hanover family, its head Benjamin Brown and his
eldest son Benjamin Brown, patented a large area of Land in Louisa Co. both before and after its
establishment in 1742. They began to obtain grants in Albemarle Co. also soon after its formation. From
1747 to 1760 they entered more than 6,000 acres on both sides of Doyle's
River. Benjamin Brown Sr married Sarah Dabney, who
according to Dr. Charles Brown's will was descended from the Jennings family
that left the enormous estate in England,
which such multitudinous posterity in this country has coveted, and which
prompted Dr. Charles Brown to cross the sea twice in his old age. Benjamin
Brown died in 1762, leaving 11 children,

William Brown,
Agnes Brown,
Barzillai Brown,
Benajah Brown,
Bernis Brown,
Bezaleel Brown,
Brightberry Brown,
Elizabeth Brown the wife of John Price, and
Lucretia Brown the wife of Robert Harris.
Passing these names under review, one can imagine the
delight of the old gentleman in the iterating of B.B. and how assiduously he
searched the Scriptures and the Live of the Saints to attain his pet ideal Benjamin Brown
and William Brown were their father's executors and appear to have had their
portions and residence in Hanover or Louisa
Counties. Barzillai Brown sold out in Albemarle
County and settled in Shelby Co. KY in
1809. Benajah Brown also disposed of his interests and removed to Buckingham Co.
Bernard Brown had his family at the foot of Buck's

Bernard M. Brown,
Charles Brown,
Thomas H. Brown,
Ira B. Brown,
Asa B. Brown,

early part of the Century. He lived where Dr. W. G. Rogers now resides till
1822, where he moved to t the farm on the waters of Ivy Creek which he
bought from Crenshaw Fretwell and on which his son Ezra still resides. He
married his cousin Mary Born daughter of Bezaleel Brown and had 6 children. He
died in 1878, having attained the remarkable age of 96.

Addison,
Williamson,
Mary the wife of George Kemper,
Martha the wife of Charles H. Parrott, and
John A.M.

respect. He had 3 sons Charles Brown,
Thomas H. Brown and
Ira B. Brown were magistrates of the county and 2 of
them served as sheriff, Charles Brown
died in 1841, and Thomas H. Brown died in 1849 Bernis Brown was
one of the early Methodist preachers in the County and Country, entering the ministry
some years before the close of the last century. He married Henrietta Rodes

245,247: The Kinkeads were early settlers in the western part of the
County. As far as can be made out, there were 3 brothers of the Name, David
Kinkead, Joseph Kinkead, and James Kinkead.
In 1746 David Kinkead patented nearly 800
acres on the North Fork of Rockfish River and the next year 400
acres more on Stockton’s Creek. By entry and purchase together the
family connection became the owners of not far from 3,000 acres in that
vicinity. Joseph Kinkead, James Kinkead and John Kinkead probably the sons of
Joseph Kinkead appear as subscribers to the call of Reverend Samuel Black in
1747.
The home of Joseph Kinkead and James
Kinkead were situated about half mile west of Immanuel Church, on the
place now owned by Reverend Dabney
Davis. An old graveyard a few hundred yards south of Mr. Davis's house is still
known in the neighborhood as the Kinkead burying ground. A broken down wall and
a few rough stones are all that mark the spot.
James Kinkead died in 1762 leaving 3
sons:
Thomas Kinkead, John Kinkead and James
Kinkead, and probably 2 more, Matthew Kinkead and Andrew Kinkead, and a
daughter the wife of Ninian Clyde.
Joseph Kinkead died in 1774, his children
were Jean Kinkead wife of Hugh Alexander, John Kinkead and Ruth Kinked the wife
of Andrew Grier.
Hugh Alexander had a mill which at on
time was a noted center in that section, roads were made to it from ever
Quarter. It was built on Stockton's Creek, not far from the foot of Hill
west of Hillsboro. In subsequent years it was known as Hayes’s and still later
as Humphrey's Mill. It is supposed Andrew Grier was one of the early
merchants of that vicinity. He was the owner of nearly 600 acres adjoining Yellow
Mountain, which likely in liquidation of his debts, he conveyed in 1766 to
Jeremiah Parker and Richard Warde merchants of
Philadelphia. In course of years part of this land passed in the
hands of Jon Lob Ban Jr. and part into the hands of Dr. Peter B. Bowen.
A grandson of Joseph Kinkead married a
daughter of Adam Dean another early settler on Stockton's Creek and in
Dec 1898 there died in Greenbrier County.
Adam Dean Kinkead doubtless their son at the age of 92. All of the kindred
bearing the name, seem to have removed from this county before the close of the
last century. Its latest appearance on the records occurs in 1784, when Jean
Kinkead the widow of James Kinkead sold to Abner Wood a parcel of land in what
is known as the Piper and PATRICK neighborhood.
She was at that time a resident of Rockbridge Co.

1747 Albemarle County History Pg 303 and 304: The name Rea is found in the
county at the time of its formation. In 1747 Fergus Rea bought a portion of the
Chiswell patent on Rockfish River. About the same time John Rea
was the owner of land on the Rivanna near Martin King's Ford, the
present Union Mills. Whether these person were related to those here after
mentioned does not appear.
Andrew Rea,
Thomas Rea and Samuel Rea were considerably interested in real estate during a
period from 1744 to 1788. At first of these dates Andrew Rea entered a small
tract on the south side of the Rivanna a short distance above the mouth
of Ivy Creek and at the time was the owner of land adjoining. Beyond doubt
he gave name of the ford so called though is should be written Rea not Ray, in
the patent it is written Reay.
Thomas Rea owned lands on the head waters of Mechum's
near Round Mountain and subsequently purchased in the vicinity of Rea's
Ford and on Meadow Creek not far from the old Poor House.
Samuel Rea also had a place near Rea's Ford and in
1788 bought on Beaver Creek between Crozet and Whitehall. All three were
married, the name of Andrew Rea's wife being Mary,
that of Thomas Rea's wife was Ursula and
that of Samuel rhea’s wife was Jane daughter of
Daniel Maupin and his wife Margaret Via.
These Persons, it is likely were brothers.
Samuel Rea's children were
Daniel Rea,
Andrew Rea,
Thomas Rea,
Robert Rea and
Margaret Rea wife of Ezekiel McCauley. Robert
Rea married Elizabeth Maupin daughter of Daniel Maupin and his wife Mary
Elizabeth Dabney, lived on Beaver
Creek neighborhood, and died in 1831.
In a report of Bernard Brown of persons listed to
work on the roads near the foot of Buck's Elbow in 1792, Andrew Rea and
Thomas Rea are mentioned, and in a court order on the same subject made in
1823, occurs the names Robert Rea, Thomas Rea and Bland.
Thomas Rea the 3rd son of
Samuel Rea lived beneath Buck's Elbow and died in 1850. His wife was Ann
Ballard daughter of Bland Ballard and his children were
Daniel Rea,
Jane Rea the wife of
Garland Maury,
Bland Rea,
Jemima Rea the wife of
George Wolfe.
Bland Rea married Sarah
Alexander and secondly Elizabeth Jones daughter of Colonel John Jones. In his
youth he was associated with Benjamin Ficklin in the manufacture of tobacco,
but afterwards settled as a farmer near the old homestead and died in 1868. His
children were

(Lo. Co. DB-A, 465-466) Thomas Johnson also acquired land in Louisa county from
his mother and brother Nicholas in 1752 & 1757. At this time, he was still a resident of Caroline County.
:Sheadvies this is This son of Thomas Johnson
lived his entire life in Louisa County, Virginia. He must have been born before 1728 and he died in Louisa Co in 1798 leaving a will.
He was
generally known as Thomas Johnson Major and he certainly was a colorful
character! His birth date can only be
estimated, but there is evidence of the identity of his first wife, Elizabeth Ashton. They were married some time before 1749. Elizabeth Ashton was a daughter of Col. Henry Ashton,
resident of Westmoreland
County. Col. Ashton died there before 1731
when his will was probated. He was
quite wealthy and Elizabeth seems to have been his only direct heir:
My Notes:
Col Henry Ashton check his lineage as I believe he is off Col. Walter Ashton,
whose daughter is married to LTC RICHARD COCKE of Henrico Co. Va. and then to Daniel Clarke of Surry County

Notes On Henry Key:
1732 ERA Albemarle County
John
Key was on of the first pioneers who fixed their abodes within the present
limits of the county. He made his first entry of land in 1732 and up to 1741
had obtained patents for near 1,200 acres on the West side of the South west
Mountain. His home was where William W. Minor now resides. His Children were
Martin Key, John Key, Mary Key wife of a Dalton. Martin Key succeded to the
home and estate of his father and by repeated purchases became the owner of all
the land reaching from Edgemont, the place of the late Henry Magrudre, down to
the bend of the river on the farm of the late R.F. Omohundro. He died in 1792.
He and his wife Ann had 12 children, Thomas Key, John Key, Martin Key, Tandy
Key, Joshua Key, William Bibb Key, Henry Key, Jesse Key, James Key,
Walter Key, Elizabeth Key wife of James Daniel and Martha Key wife of John
White. Each of his sons was comfortably provided for by their fathers will,
though intimation are there given that the habits of some unfitted them for
proper management of their affairs.
Within
the first score of years in the present century the members of this household
were for the most part scattered over the South and West. Thomas Key removed to
South Carolina where he invented some
contrivance for the more effective action of water wheels. The families of John
Keys, James Keys, Martha Keys White,
emigrated to Kentucky and Tennessee and that of Elizabeth Keys Daniels to North
Carolina, Tandy Keys lived for many years in the Southern part of the county
near Covesville, but is said to have removed eventually to Fluvanna County.
Jesse P. Keys a son of Tandy Keys married Sarah Woods, daughter of the Younger William Woods of Beaver Creek, and
lived some time near Mechum’s Depot. William Bibb Keys married Mourning Clark
daughter of Christopher Clark and went to Elbert County Georgia. Henry Keys
settled in Bedford County and Jesse Keys died in Richmond in 1826. Walter Keys
appears to have been the only one who spent his whole life in this County and
his death occurred in 1834. John Keys, Tandy Keys, and Joshua Keys were
magistrates of the county and Walket Keys was appointed to the office, but
declined to accept. John Keys served as Sheriff in 1795 and Tandy Keys in 1809.
John Keys was an Ensign in th 8th Virginia and Henry Keys a soldier
in the armuy of the Revolution.

after built the mill at that place, which was for many years known my his name
and on the site of which one has existed ever since. In 1805 he and Brightberry
Brown undertook the construction of Brown’s Turnpike beginning at point called
camping rock, crossing the ridge at Brown’s Gap, descending through Brown’s
Cove and terminating at Mechum’s Depot. A formal acceptance of it took
place the next year by Commissioners appointed from both sides of the Mountain.
William Jarman died in 1813, he married Sarah Maupin daughter of John Maupin
and had 5 sons and 6 daughters. In 1819 James Jarman his eldest son sold his
half of the Turnpike to Ira Harris for one hundred dollars. His son Thomas
Jarman bought the land on the summit of the ridge at the old Woods Gap, and
since his purchasehas generally gone by his name. His daughter Mary Jarman

ERA OF
The name of
Garrett must always awaken interest in Albemarle
County, because of its long official connection with its affairs. William Garrett appeared on the scene in 1764
when he purchased From Francis Jerdone the same person who bought the Farmington
lands and sold them to George Divers, 2000 acres along the Northern base of
Toms Mountain, in North Garden. In the course of the next 10 years he disposed of
this property to different parties, but as far the greater portion of it to
John Jones. William Garret a swell as
Francis Jerdone belonged to Louisa. It is thought he was the grandfather of
Alexander Garrett. The father of Alexander Garret was Henry Garret who in 1810
removed from Louisa County to Kentucky
and in passing through Charlottesville
constituted his son his attorney to settle up his business. He departed this
life in his new home in 1815.
Alexander Garrett
came to this County as early as 1794. In 1799 he was a Deputy of SAMUEL MURRELL, who at the time was Sheriff. A year of
two later he Married Elizabeth Minor
daughter of James Minor who resided
on the North Fork of the Rivanna near Stony Point, and from the
mention of his name among those assigned to work the roads, Alexander Garret evidently lived for a time
in the vicinity. In 1806 he received the appointment of Deputy Clerk under John
Nicholas. About the time his wife diedm and in 1808 he married Evalina Bolling
daughter of John Bolling of North Garden.
In 1815 he succeeded Mr. Nicholas as County Clerk, and in 1819 was appointed
Clerk of the Circuit Court upon the resignation of John Carr, who had occupied
that office since the Circuit Court superseded the District Court in 1809. Both
of these offices he held until 1831, when his brother Ira Garret was made
County Clerk. Besides his Official duties, he was assisuous and successful in
many lines of business. He was a large dealer in real estate, owning at
different times fine tracts of land in various neighborhoods of the county, Meadow
Creek, Birdwood, North Garden, North Blenheim, Ivy Cottage, and Greenwood. About
1815 his home was on the south side of University St. and during the decade of
1820 he erected the large brick mansion at the foot of Second St. In 1825 he
laid out and brought into market the lots on Ridge Street and in 1828 built
Midway as a Hotel, of which J.A. Xaupi was the first occupant. During his
latter years owing no doubt to the constant and long continued strain on his
powers he was afflicted with softening of the brain. He died in 1860. By his
first Marriage he had a
daughter
Elizabeth Garret the first wife of V.W. Southall and
by his second
wife Dr. John Bolling Garrett,
Susan Garrett
wife of Dr. Thomas Johnson,
Eliza K. Garrett
wife of Alexander Duke, and
Clariss Garrett
wife of Dr. Thomas J. Pretlow.
Ira Garret like
his brother commenced his business life by riding Sheriff. He was Deputy under
Benjamin Harris in 1815, and Robert
Davis in 1817. Soon after he became deputy County Clerk under his brother and
in 1831 succeded him as principal. When the office became elective, he was
chosen both to it and the Circuit Court Clerkship, term after term as long as
the people had a voice, and even when another was appointed by Military
Authority it was demanded by an over whelming public sentiment that the
faithful old man should act as deputy. In 1818 he bought from Jonathan B. Carr
the place at the east end of Main Street, which he made his home for the rest
of his life. He always had a strong inclination to rural pursuits and in 1836
purchased a plantation south of Charlottesville, afterwards the farm of W. P.
Farish, but with him the lack of a close marred the knack of accumulation.
In 1766 Waddy
Thompson of Louisa County came to the
county and Married Mary Lewis daughter of Robert Lewis and the widow of Samuel
Cobb. He had previously married Elizabeth Anderson daughter of Nelson Anderson
of Hanover County. His Children by the
first marriage were
Nelson
Thompson,
Anderson
Thompson,
David
Thompson who removed to Woodford County Ky,
Waddy
Thompson who removed to Rockingham County
Susan
Thompson the 2nd wife of David Rodes and afterwards of James Kerr
and
Lucy
Thompson.
Nelson received
from his father 250 acres southwest of Still house Mountain which he sold in
1794 to Thomas Garth Sr. He then bought on Beaverdam of Hardware where
he died in 1798. The children by his second marriage were
Ann
Thompson the first wife of John Slaughter and next to Jesse Davenport,
Mildred
Thompson was the wife of James Scott,
and
Judith Thompson the wife of John
Poindexter.
John Slaughter
was surveyor of the County and died in 1797. His children were
Mary L
Slaughter.
Waddy T.
Slaughter and
Robert L.

Waddy T married
Farnces Ballard and in 1823 was living in New York
where he was Postmaster and owner of the tanyard, the most lasting monument of
the place which he bought from Nathaniel Landcraft, and sold to James Lobban.
Waddy Thomson in 1801 and his wife in 1813. All their children appear to have
moved from the county except Susan and her husband. For a time he kept the Swan
Tavern, he died in 1822 and she in 1847 Albemarle County History by Reverend Edgar Woods, ISBN # 1-933268-51-4:

1771 Arrived as Pastor: Albemarle County History pg
232, 233: Reverend William Irvin was one of the early Presbyterian
ministers of the county. He received his education in part at the school of
reverend John Todd in Louisa Co. He was
received by the Presbytery of Hanover in
1769, and settled as Pastor of the Cove and Rockfish Churches in 1771.
He married Elizabeth Holt daughter of Joseph Holt who served in the Revolution
as First Lieutenant in the 4th Virginia and who purchased land from Colonel
Charles Lewis on the Staunton Road west of Ivy Depot, where he resided
until 1794. Mr. Irvin bought part of this land from his father in law, but sold
it in 1783 and the same year purchased from Charles martin a farm on the South
fork of Hardware River, where J. Goulet Martin now lives, and where he made
his home until his death in 1809.
His relation to Rockfish Church
was dissolved in 1776, and he then devoted his time to preaching at the Cove
D.S. and Mountain Plains. In 1793 his old preceptor, Reverend John Todd met
with tragic death on his return from a meeting of Presbytery at the Cove. The
road on the east side of Persimmon Mountain passed then as it does still along
the bed of the South hardware River for a short distance, there the venerable
minister was found lying in the stream life extinct. Whether he was smitten
with an apoplectic stroke or whether his horse took fright, and starting
suddenly threw him, was not known. It is said he was accustomed to ride a
spirited horse.
Mr. Irvin had 10 children some of whom
attained a degree of eminence in the world
John Holt Irvin,
Margaret Irvin,
Elizabeth Irvin wife of
Dabney C. Gooch,
Nancy Irvin wife of
Thomas W. Gooch,
Sarah Irvin wife of Robert
Sangster,
John Irvin,
William W. Irvin,
James Irvin,
Thomas Irvin and
David Irvin.
Joseph Irvin was admitted to the Albemarle Co. Bar in 1796, married Elizabeth Cole
daughter of William Cole of North Gardens
and died in 1805, leaving 2 daughters one of whom Susan Irvin was married to
Colonel Thomas Wood and was the mother of Dr. Alfred Wood and Mrs. Jeremiah A.
Early and secondly to John Fray.
John Irvin lived on the old place, was a
magistrate of the county and died in 1828, leaving a number of children all of
whom removed to Campbell and Prince Edward Counties.
William Irvin became a member of the Albemarle Bar but emigrated to Lancaster Ohio, where he was appointed a Judge of
the Supreme Court and elected to Congress in 1828.
Thomas Irvin joined his brother William
Irvin in Ohio and became Judge of the
Lancaster Circuit Court.
David Irvin was also a lawyer, received
the appointment of Governor of Wisconsin Territory
and afterwards settled in Texas, where he
was left by the war with only shreds of a large fortune and where he shortly
after died. Albemarle County
