[fowlvill.ged]
The surname Villines is most likely of French Huguenot origin probably emigrating to America about 1700. A list of French refugees at Manican Town, Virginia, March 6, 1701 lists the surname of Villian. The Gloucestor rent rolls, Ware Parrish of 1704 lists an Isaac Valine. A Jean Villian and wife Philipe are mentioned several times in the 1730's in the book Huguenot Emigration to Virginia.
The first recorded data on shat is almost certain to be the ancestry of the Arkansas line of Villines is the <I>Vestry Book of Upper Parish, Nansemond County, Virginia. 1743-1793</I>. The following pertains to the Processioning of lands from this book.
September 17, 1759.........A line between Abraham Velines and Richard Hynes and a line between Abraham Velines and Ashburn Orphan.
October 5, 1763...............A line between Daniel March and Abraham Veline.
December 23, 1771..........A line between Abraham Veline and Hardy Hine, Hezekiah Veline. A line between John Ashbourn and Anton Holiday in the presence of John Best and Hezikiah Veline.
The 1783 tax lists of Nansemond County lists as follows:
<PRE>
Hezekiah Villine 6 white 17 black
Prisciller Villine 5 white
</PRE>
This is probably the same two families mentioned earlier in the <I>Vestry book</I>, Prisciller being the widow of Abraham.
The Hezikiah mentioned above is most likely the father of Abraham Villines that migrated to Arkansas in the 1830's. It was a very common characteristic of this family to name the first children after their grandjparents. Its almost certain that the Hezikiah that came to Arkansas with him was his oldest son.
