The family of Zachariah Eddy 1638-1718

 Zachariah Eddy was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (possibly Savory) Eddy, born in 1638 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts.  He married Alice Paddock, daughter of Robert and Mary Holmes Paddock, in 1663 in East Bridgewater, Plymouth Colony.  After Alice died, he married Abigail Montgomery, the widow Smith, but had no children with her.  Zachariah lived most of his life in Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts and acquired considerable land holdings there.  

Zechariah was their first born son, in 1664, in Plymouth Colony.  He was married twice, first to Mercy Baker, the daughter of Samuel and Eleanor Winslow Baker.  They had 5 children: Alice, who died young, Eleanor, who also died young, Jemima, Zachariah, and Alice again.  His second wife was Amphillis (various spellings) Smith, the daughter of Edward and Amphillis Angell Smith.  Their children are Anna, Elisha, Joseph, and Samuel..  I'll write more of this family in my next post.

John is left off many lists, but I did find a birth date for John that lists Sachariah (as spelled in record of Plymouth Colony) as his father, so we know there was a son John, born in 1666.  John first married Mary Hatch, the daughter of Jeremiah and Mary Hewes Hatch.  They are said to have had six children although I've identified only 5: Jeremiah, Thomas, Seth, Jean and Samuel.  He married secondly Hopestill Butterworth, the daughter of John and Sarah Butterworth.  Their children are Oliver, Charles, and Joseph.  

There is then a gap of about four years, when there may have been another child or at least another pregnancy.  Elizabeth was the first daughter born to the couple, in 1670.  She married Samuel Whipple Jr., the son of Samuel and Mary Harris Whipple.  Their children are Zachariah, Hope, Samuel, Zephaniah, Nathan, Daniel, Alice, Elizabeth, and Samuel. again.  

Samuel Eddy was born in 1673 and died young.

The next son, Ebenezer, was born in 1675.  He married Sarah Harding, whom I have so far been unable to trace.  Their children were Lydia, Ebenezer, Nathan, Phoebe, Mary, Benjamin, Sarah, and Stephen.  

Caleb was born in 1678.  He married Bethiah Smith, the daughter of David and Abigail Montgomery Smith.  Their children are Edward, Abigail, Elisha, Amy, Michael, Elizabeth, Bethiah and Ann. 

Next was Joshua, born in 1680.  He married Hannah Stevens, the daughter of Benjamin and Hannah Barnard Stevens.  They had 11 children, but only one girl to help with the chores for this large family.  The children are Benjamin, Jonathan, David, Nathaniel, Hannah, Zechariah, Thomas, James, Peter, William and John.  

Zachariah and Alice's last son was Obadiah.  He was born in 1683 and married Abigail Devotion, the daughter of John and Hannah Pond Devotion.  Their children are Constant, Ichabod, Alice, Mary, Abigail, Hannah, Job, and Azariah.  

Finally, there were two daughters, Alice who was born in 1684 and died in 1692, and Elinor who was born in 1686 and died the following year.  

This list gives Zachariah and Alice at least 58 grand children, although a few died young.  The Eddy family kept growing, along with the colony turned country that was their home. 

 

The family of Samuel Eddy 1608-1687

 Samuel Eddy, the immigrant, came to Plymouth in 1630 with his brother John, but likely not with his wife Elizabeth, who may or may not have been a Savory prior to her marriage.  Samuel and John were children of Rev. John and Mary Fosten Eddy(e), and had been raised mostly in Cranbrook, Kent, England.  Samuel and Elizabeth were Puritans and likely Separatists, also, given that they went to Plymouth and not further north.  With Samuel arriving in 1630 and the first child not being born until 1637, he may have married here, or he may have returned to England to bring a wife back to New England. 

I have seen anywhere from 5 to 9 children listed as being the children of Samuel and Elizabeth. Part of the confusion may be that Samuel's brother John, plus another John Eddy of Taunton, used many of the same names for their children.  I am listing 5 children here, which may not be a complete list, Tese birthdates range from 1637 to 1645.

John was the first born son.  He married Alice Brotherton, the daughter of Thomas and Ellen Brotherton.  Their children were Alice, Sarah, Hepzibah, Amy, Hannah, Beulah, and Abigail.  This family lived at Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard.  

Zachariah was born in 1639 at Plymouth.  He first married Alice Paddock, the daughter of Robert and Mary Holmes Paddock.  They had eight children together, and lived in Swansea, Massachusetts.  The children are Zachariah, Samuel, Elizabeth, Ebenezer, Caleb, Joshua, Obadiah, and Alice.  His wife Alice died prior to September 1692, when Zachariah married Abigail Montgomery, the widow Smith.  There are no known children from this marriage.  I will write more of this family in my next post.

Caleb was born in 1643 and died in 1713, still in Swansea.  He married Elizabeth Bullock, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Ingraham Bullock.  Their children are Samuel, Elizabeth, Hannah, Zachariah, and Mary.  This is another Swansea family.

Obadiah was the last born son, in 1645.  He married Bennett Ellis, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Freeman Ellis.  Their children are John, Hazadiah, Benjamin, Mary, Samuel, Jabez, Joel, Bennet, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Zachariah.   This family stayed in Plymouth.

Elizabeth was their only daughter, born in 1649.  She married Jonathan Lombard, the son of Joshua and Abigail Linnell Lombard.  Their children were Alice, Ebenezer, Abigail, Samuel, Hannah, and Beulah.  This family lived primarily in Swansea, Massachusetts.

There are two time periods here of four years when no children were born to Samuel and Elizabeth.  It is possible that there were unsuccessful pregnancies or that infants died at a very young age during each of these times.  I've seen Hannah suggested as a child of theirs but I can find no documentation for that name.  

If this list is accurate and complete, Samuel and Elizabeth had 37 grandchildren.  The Eddy name was well known in the area for many generations, and we can be grateful for their lives.

 

 

 

Edward Allen and his family

I can't believe that I've not written a blog post about my grandfather, but it is not coming up on searches.  So this will be a brief sketch of him, and will also discuss briefly his children.  

Edward Franklin Allen was the son of George and Nancy McCoy Allen.  He was born January 17, 1868 in Gallatin, Daviess County, Missouri, where his parents had moved shortly before.  They had intended to live there permanently, but George had either sold his land or rented it out, and the farmer who took it over didn't keep his financial commitment.  The family moved back to Pulaski County, Indiana, where they had lived for about 20 years, and Ed spent much of his boyhood there.  

Sadly, Nancy died in 1880.  His father remarried very quickly, and the whole family went to Missouri.  Apparently his land was really sold this time.  This would have been the first time that Ed really got to know his grandfather, Archibald Allen, as Arch, a widower, had remarried and moved to Daviess County before Ed was born.  

We lost track of him for a few years, and then he is found in Montana, where his younger brother lived near Virginia City.  The younger George was a school teacher who studied nights to become an attorney, and Ed carefully noted that opportunity.  Ed himself became a school teacher, at least for a short period of time, near Soda Springs, Idaho.  That's where he met Edith Knott, and the rest is history. 

 Ed was 28 and Edith, the daughter of John Wilson and Harriet Starr Knott, was 18 when they married.  They first made their home in Idaho but moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where they lived the rest of their lives and raised their families.  Ed worked for the post office for a few years, and studied at night to become an attorney, as his brother had.  He was admitted to the bar in 1913, or possibly sooner-the 1913 date gives him authority to practice in federal court.  

Ed was an elder of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Salt Lake City, and of the Sons of the Veterans of the Civil War, Knights of Pythias, and Eagle lodge.  He was an assistant prosecuting attorney and then city attorney during the 1930s, which the family referred to as "the rich years".  They weren't rich, but one thing Ed did was buy his wife a fur coat or jacket during that time.  

After returning to private practice, the family income was greatly diminished because Ed refused to charge anything like the going price for legal services, especially for members of his church and the other organizations he belonged to.  Ed died July 10, 1940, after a battle with cancer.  Edith had serious health issues at the same time, so the nearby children were quite busy caring for two patients at the same time. Edith lived until 1954, but never fully recovered her health. 

The children of Ed and Edith Allen are:

Forest Wilson, born in 1898 and died in 1900

Vernon, born in 1901 in Salt Lake City.  He married Ruby Rachel Allen, the daughter of Lyman and Winona Guthrie Allen.  They adopted a son, who may be living.  

Tessora (Tessie to the family) was born in 1904.  She married Thomas McCall, the son of George and Harriet Jarret McCall, in 1922.  Their children are Thomas. Josephine, Barbara, Betty Lou, and Shirley. Tessie had rheumatic fever as a child which affected her heart, and she died apparently of complications in 1939.  

Nancy Corinne, known as Rene, was born in 1907.  She first married Guy C. Campbell.  They had one son, known as Courtney but apparently his first name was George.  Her first husband died in 1959 and she then married J. Hugh Hamilton in 1963. (The two men had known each other as professors in electrical engineering.)  Rene died in 1984.

Edith was born 9 years after Rene, so there may have been unsuccessful pregnancies that we don't know about.  Edith married Owen Carlyle Anderton, son of John and Ellen Taylor Anderton.  They are the parents of three children, two of whom are yet living.  Edith died in 1992.

Richard was the last child.  He was born in 1919, and married Gladys Holbrook, daughter of Loren and Etta Stanard Holbrook.  They had four daughters, two of who are living.  

Finally, there was a stillborn child in 1922.  As far as is known, he was not given a name.  

This is little enough information about my grandfather, who from all accounts was a good man, a loving husband, and a credit to his community.  I'd love to hear more about him.

 

The family of George Robert Allen 1837-1916

 I've learned a good bit in researching the family of George Allen.  I thought I knew this family reasonably well, but there were some surprises along the way.  George and Nancy are my great grandparents so it seems that I would know at least the main things about them.  Wrong!  

George is the son of Archibald and Margaret Dunn Allen, born in 1837 in either Putnam, Porter, or Pulaski county-take your pick.  He lived for the first half of his life in Pulaski County (except for a brief time in the Union Army during the Civil War) and the second half of his life in Daviess County, Missouri.  His first wife, the mother of all but one of his children, was Nancy McCoy, the daughter of Vincent and Eleanor Jackson McCoy.  Nancy died in 1880 and he soon married Sarah Powell Nance, who was a widow, and moved to Daviess County, Missouri, where his father had gone soon after the death of his first wife.  George and Sarah and one child, a daughter.

George and Nancy's children are:

Emma, who was born in 1861 and married Elisha Frost, the son of Elisha and Elizabeth Bourne Frost.  I located only one child for them, a son named Clyde.  There may have been others who were born early in the marriage since the 1890 census is missing.  

Andrew A Allen, who is very much still a mystery.  He was born in 1863 and is shown on both the 1870 and 1880 census records, living with his parents and in 1880, working on the farm.  Then he disappears from history, as far as I can tell.  The only additional information I have about him is from my grandmother's "At the Portal" book, in which she notes his birthdate, that he was the oldest brother of my grandfather, and calls him, in quotation marks "Major".  I have looked through some Army records, not exhaustively, and have been unable to locate him.  "Major" may be a family nick name.  Her book records family births and deaths up until late 1949, and there is no death entry for him.  It may be that they never knew what became of him, or it may be that his death occurred prior to 1909, when she started writing in the book.

Edward was the next son.  He was born in 1868 in Missouri, where his parents had hoped to settle.  They had to return to Indiana because the sale of their land, apparently on contract, fell through.  He married Edith Knott, the daughter of John Wilson and Harriet Starr Knott, and they had six children: Forest, Vernon, Tessora, Nancy Corrinne, Edith, and Richard.  I will write more of this family in my next post.

Edwin was born in 1869 and is seen in the 1870 census but is not in the 1880 census.  I don't know how long he lived, but it was apparently an early death.  

George R (I have seen both Robert and Roswell given as his middle name, but the book gives his name as Robert) was born in 1873.  He married Margaret Lurana (or Lurana Margaret) Black, the daughter of William and Ebeline Henderson Black.  They had two known children, Lois and Robert.  This was the last of the known children of George and Nancy.

George and Sarah had one daughter after they moved to Missouri.  She was Fannie Olive Allen, and she married first Herbert "Earl" Petty.  This marriage ended in divorce or annulment, because six years after the first marriage she married William A Sweaney, the son of John and Elizabeth Miller Sweaney.  Thier children were Opal, Naoma, Hazel, Gerald, Robert, and Leland.  The thing that astounded me was that Fannie lived until 1970, when I was in my early adulthood.  I don't remember my father ever mentioning her.  My grandmother knew of her because "At the Portal" mentions her, but possibly because of the large difference in ages-Edward was 15 years older than Fannie-she apparently was not a topic of conversation in the house growing up.

New to me facts were "Major" in regards to Andrew, the existence, however brief, of Edwin, and most of the information about Fannie.  That's why we do the research, to rescue those who have been forgotten!

 

The family of Archibald Allen 1809-1885

 Archibald Allen is next in our Allen line.  I well remember how I finally learned the name of his wife.  At the time, I only "knew" that he had been married in Kentucky, but I didn't know what county, and I knew only the first name of his wife.  I was also a little hazy on what time period I should be looking for, although I knew it would be sometime before 1837.  My research solution is not one I would recommend.  I stood in the county stacks for Kentucky at The Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library, and I pulled out every single marriage book that appeared to have records for that time period, starting with the "A" counties-Adair, etc. I was probably there for at least an hour before I got to Mercer County, and that's when I struck gold.  He'd married Margaret J. Dunn, daughter of Lemuel and Sarah or Sally Campbell Dunn, on March 12, 1834.  I had tears of joy running down my face.

With that information, it was a bit easier to find other key facts, including information about his children.  Margaret died in 1865 and Archibald married Elizabeth Ryerson Shields in 1868.  They moved to Jamison, Daviess County, Missouri, where Archibald died in 1885.

John C. (possibly for Campbell? speculation!) Allen was born about 1835 in Mercer County.  He married Mary Amanda Dukes, the daughter of Ephraim and Jane Eslinger Dukes.  Their known children are Charles, Riley, Mariah, Ida, and Mary E.  I have an unconfirmed death date of about 1894 for him, in Pulaski County, Indiana, where Archibald and Margaret had moved during the late 1830s.

George Allen was the next born, on July 16, 1837, possibly in Putnam County, Indiana.  He married first Nancy McCoy, daughter of Vincent and Eleanor Jackson McCoy.  Their children are Emma, Andrew, Edward, and George.  His second marriage was to Sarah Powell Nance, the widow of Peter Nance and the daughter of James and Mary Wilson Powell.  There was one child, Frances (Fannie) born to the second marriage.  I will write more of this family in my next post.

There may or may not be a son, Robert, born after George.  It is likely that he died as an infant or small child, as I can find nothing about him.  It's also possible that the "Robert" was actually George, whose middle name was Robert.

Harriet was born April 12, 1840.  She married Andrew John Hathaway, the son of Francis and Sarah Bourne Hathaway.  Their children were Meredith, Frances, William, Henry, Mary, Margaret, Hattie, Emery and Cora.  She died in 1910 in Kansas City, Missouri.  

Susan was born in 1843 and married John Hicks Wheatley, the son of Thomas and Agnes Holcombe Wheatley.  Their children are Margaret, Thomas, George, and Robert.  She died in 1872 in Fulton County, Indiana (likely very near her parents), just one week after the birth of her last son.  

Finally, there was Sarah Ellen, born in 1848.  She married Nathan L Agnew, the son of William and Eliza Harding Agnew in 1871.  Their children were Florence, Frances, Mabel, and Myrtle.  Sadly, this couple was divorced by 1883.  Her 1900 census in Monroe, Pulaski County, Indiana gives her birth date as 1856, but I think this is the same woman.   She is listed as a "capitalist" and two daughters are school teachers and one a music instructor.   I have not located a death date for her, although one clue I have may lead to an interesting story at some future point.

Archibald's story is an inspiring one because of his capacity for starting over, and finding information about his children has been fun.  As usual, now that I have some answers, there are more questions but that is the way genealogy works.

The family of James Allen 1769-1820

 I've been writing these "family of" posts for several months now, and this is the first family I've come across with only one of the children fairly well documented on line.  The other children were mysteries when I started preparing this post.  I have found a little about some of them and want to get this information out there, in it's current state of being unfinished, because we are not guaranteed tomorrow.  I hope to find some new cousins by doing this, or at least leave bread crumbs that someone else can follow.  My information for this post comes from James's will in Mercer County, Kentucky, census records of Mercer county, and a book of Mercer County marriages found on Internet Archives.

James Allen, son of James and Sarah Crowdas Allen, was born in Goochland County, Virginia in 1769.  He married Tabath or Tabitha Parrish, daughter of Moses and Mary Hill Parrish, on October 19, 1775 in Goochland County.  I am not sure when the couple moved to Mercer County, Kentucky, but they were in Mercer County in the 1810 census, and their last son states on later census that his birthplace was Kentucky.  James still was paying taxes in 1815 in Virginia, and if he had rented this land to someone, he would have had a source of income while settling into his Kentucky home.  James may not have owned any land when he died, as he gave directions in his will that his land in Virginia be sold for the benefit of his wife and that personal property both in Virginia and Kentucky be sold and used for the benefit of his children. 

I don't know the birth order of the children, so I will mention them in the order of the will, except the daughter was listed last, and she is already married.  So she clearly belongs earlier in the list, and she was probably either the first or second barn.  I've placed her as the second born but that may not be correct.  According to the 1810 census, there was were five males under the age of 10, one 10-16, one female 10-16, and a male and female each in the 26-45 year category. 

James is listed first in the will.  He was James P (perhaps for Parrish?), and he was married to Jane Glazebrook on September 28, 1824.  Either a Yancy or a Nancy Glazebrook gave permission, but I haven't been able yet to trace the Glazebrook family.  On the 1850 census, the following are probably their children: Robert, Tabitha, Joseph, Charles, Jane, James, and possibly another Jane, or possibly this is a different name (the writing is hard to read).  There may be other children, also, for there is an 8 year gap between Robert and Tabitha, and those children, if any, would have been old enough to possibly be out on their own.  Tabitha Allen, aged 76, is also a member of the household.  This would be James's mother.  I haven't found her in the 1860 census, so she may have died during this time.  

Eliza was born about 1800, and at the time James wrote his will in 1820, she was Eliza Vandavier, according to the spelling in the will. Eliza Vandevere is found in the 1850 census in district one of Mercer County, with five presumed daughters living with her-Mary, Ellen, Justina, Nancy, and Elizabeth.  Mary is 32 and Elizabeth is 18, with Justina being the youngest at the age of 5.  So her husband, as yet unidentified, may have died sometime after 1844, or this being 1850, it's possible that he was in California.  Also, it may be that Mary was not a daughter to Eliza, because James in his 1820 will uses the phrase "making her children equal if she should have any". Perhaps Mary was a step-daughter.  There is also the possibility that Justine is Mary's daughter, which would make sense if the Eliza Vandovier in the 1840 census is also our Eliza.  Husband may have died prior to the 1840 census.  In the 1840 census, is one male 16-19, three females 10-14, three aged 15-19, and Eliza, aged 40-49. Interestingly, there is a Henry "Vaneliver" in the 1830 census, just three names below that of Tabitha Allen, whose family includes a female of the right age to be Eliza, and includes one male aged 5-9, two females 5-9, and 3 females 10-14, indicating that Henry and wife, possibly Eliza, had been married at least 10 years.  Henry is single in the 1840 census, so it's possible that there was a separation or divorce. Clearly more research is needed. 

Isaac Allen is the next son.  I am not sure I have located him at all, until 1850, when he is living in the household of William Allen.  The census shows him as being seven years older than William, his presumed brother.  Where was he prior to this?

Moses is the next son mentioned in the will.  I've found him in the 1830 census, in Perryville, Mercer County. with a wife and one son under the age of 5.  I have not found him in Mercer County after that date.  There is a man by that name, and aged 10 years, in Daviess County, Indiana in 1840 and again in 1850.  In 1850 he is 48, his wife is Lucinda, and presumed children are Benjamin, John, Mary, Hiram, Zeporah, Elizabeth, and Susan.  I do not know whether this is our Moses or not.  The only jarring note in the census is that he was born in Ohio (or someone thought he was), and I don't know that our Allen family was ever in Ohio.

John Allen is the next listed son.  I have found nothing I can positively identify as being our John.  There is a John Allen in Harrodsburg, Mercer County in the 1830 census, who is one of two males aged 20-29.  Also in the household is a male under the age of 5, a female 20-29, and, sadly, a male slave under the age of 10.  I have no idea whether this is our John or not, but the age and location make it a possible match.  There is a John who married Cynthia McAfee, daughter of John McAfee, on 10/16/1822, but again, I can't say for certain this is our John.  

William Allen is next.   Per the 1850 census he was 43 years old, and his wife was Ellen.  I found a William Allen who married Eleanor Robards on June 27, 1829.  Did she go by the name of Ellen?  J Robards is one of the witnesses to James's will, so there may or may not be a connection there.  At any rate, William's children in the 1850 census are James, Jesse, Sarah, and William.  As mentioned above, Isaac was also in the household at this time. There is a William Allen of the right age, single, in the 1870 census in Daviess County, Missouri.  That is where Archibald Allen was in 1870, so there is a good possibility that the two youngest sons of James and Tabitha ended up living near each other.

And finally, there is Archibald.  He was born about 1809, in Kentucky, and married Margaret J. Dunn, daughter of Lemuel and Sarah Campbell Dunn on March 12, 1834 in Mercer County.  Their known children are John, George, Robert, Harriet, Susan, and Sarah.  I will write more of this family in my next post.  

This post has a lot of suppositions, and may or may not be correct.  As mentioned earlier, my hope is that this will help some other Allen family members, and that someone will contact me at happygenealogydancingATgmailDOTcom with additional information.  

A side note: A James Allen from Mercer County fought with the Confederates in the Civil War.  William's son James would have been about 21 when the war began.  If the two James are the same, then Archibald's son George and William's son James, first cousins, would have been on opposite sides of the war.  We know George was at the battle of Perryville.  Was James? 

The family of James Allen 1735ish to 1801

 This is the line I care about most at the moment  Although I have many challenging ancestors still to locate, this one is still a mystery prior to his marriage to Sarah Cloudas/Crowdus/Crowder, daughter of George and possibly Susannah or possibly Mary Cloudas.  Actually, I've not even located marriage records for James and Sarah.  The first record I have is of the birth of their son, Richard, in 1755.  Most sites give James's birth as 1735 but I think it more likely that he was born earlier than that, in order to marry and have a child in 1755.  

This is also a difficult post to write because it is so incomplete.  I've managed to trace, I think, a few of the children and that is an ongoing project.  I hope that there will be someone who reads this post who knows more than I know and who will contact me so we can put our heads together on this.  Here is a listing of the children as far as I have been able to determine.

Richard was the first born, or the first born of whom we have record.  He married Elizabeth Richardson in 1781 in Fluvanna County, Virginia.  (Fluvanna was formed from Goochland County, which is where our earliest Allen records are found.)  Elizabeth may have been the daughter of Isham amd Mary Terrell Richardson, or she may have been the daughter of Green and Nancy Graves Richardson.  They were the parents of at least 10 children: James, Nancy, William, Richard, Martha (Patsy), George, Polly, Mahala, Joseph, and Mariah or Maria.  Based on naming patterns, I think it's more likely that Elizabeth's parents were Green and Nancy, but a will or deeds should be located to verify this.

Elizabeth Allen married Samuel John Woodard, son of John and Susannah Tilman Woodard. The spelling is also seen as Woodward, especially in that of their son David.  I've found two death dates for Elizabeth, one in 1789 and one in 1832.  If the later one is correct, Samuel's census shows a total of 8 children.  However, they could have been from a second wife.  More research to do!

I could find nothing about Susannah except that she was born in 1761 and died before 1818.  

Mary May was born in 1763.  She married Thomas Glass, whom I've been unable to trace.  The couple is known to have had one child, Catherine, but there may be others.

George was born in 1766 and married Nancy Clements.  All that I know about Nancy is that her mother's name was Sally and there was a Stephen Clements who was a witness at the wedding, along with William Allen.  Unfortunately, I've found no further records of him, and do not know whether he and Nancy had any children.

James was born in 1769.  He married Tabath or Tabitha Parrish, daughter of Moses and Mary Hill Parrish in 1795.  Their children are William, John, James, Eliza, Isaac, Moses, and Archibald.  I will write more of this family in my next post.

There are confusing claims about William.  Our William died in 1841 in Goochland County, so he is not the WIlliam who married Susannah E Echols and who died in Tennessee in 1833.  Our William married Lucy Graves, the daughter of John and possibly Lucinda Adams Graves.  Their children are Sarah, Martha, Elizabeth, Harriet, John, James, Richard, and Mathilda.  

Martha was born in 1775 and married Daneil Carrell or Cararoll.  He was the son of Booker Carroll.  Daniel has one daughter listed on the 1820 census, but I do not know whether this was Martha's daughter or not, nor do I know of any other children.

Sally was their last child, born April 4, 1777.  I have located nothing further of her, except that there was a Sally Allen who married Thomas Whitlock as his second wife, in Goochland County.  I haven't yet found anything to confirm or deny that this was our Sally.  

It troubles me that there are so many unknowns in this post.  I believe there are answers somewhere, whether in Goochland County or at the Library of Virginia, but until more information comes on line, or until I get better at researching, or until some unknown family member points me in the right direction, this is the best post I can write, as of February 14, 2023.
