MADDUX, NEWBOLD posted by Ora Smith on Sunday, September 1, 2002

I would like to be able to contact Cree Newbold, the person who posted the query below in Nov, 2001. His email address does not seem to work, and I have some information for him. If anyone knows how to reach him, I would appreciate the information. Thanks so much! MADDUX, NEWBOLD posted by Cree Newbold on Sunday, November 11, 2001 Would like to exchange information with anyone who has performed research on the MADDUX surname relating to the Lazarus MADDUX who died in Somerset County in 1735, leaving a will making mention of his wife Margaret and a number of children, including a Thomas and an Alexander. Reason: Ruth Dryden, in her book abstracting land transactions by tract name, on p. 312-313, lists over 60 different records for a property known as or related to "Newtown". The MADDUX name is very prominent in this abstract, beginning with a mention of a mention of an Alexander MADDUX buying land from a John KIBBLE in 1695, and ending with a mention of an Elzey MADDUX of Somerset County in 1799. My principal interest in this is that Thomas MADDUX, son of Lazarus, is called on 5 separate occasions by Dryden, first in 1759, and last in 1795 per his will, as Thomas NEWBOLD MADDUX. There are a couple mentions of NEWBOLD individuals in these pages as well: two of Thomas NEWBOLD [1759 & 1760] and one of John NEWBOLD [1760]. From other records, John NEWBOLD is associated with the "Newtown" property, which is, according to a map provided in the Dryden book, adjacent to properties known to have been owned by NEWBOLDs from 1678 into the 1770s. If Thomas NEWBOLD MADDUX was his true full name, it would suggest a close tie to the NEWBOLD family by the MADDUX family, perhaps by marriage. Thomas' father Lazarus, per his Will, had a wife named Margaret. Was she one of Thomas NEWBOLD's daughters, Margaret, as named in his Will of 1713? Enough of my wild speculations -- here's hoping someone in this forum might have a few more bits of information related to this possible connection. Thanks!

WAINWRIGHT, WINNWRIGHT posted by Frank Green on Friday, September 20, 2002

My ancester, John WAINWRIGHT, moved to York County VA from Somerset County in the early 1800s. I have seen his name spelled both WAINWRIGHT and WINNWRIGHT. I am wanting to know if anyone has any information of him or his family.

HOPKINS posted by Frank Green on Friday, September 20, 2002

I am looking for infomation of my ancester Charles HOPKINS. He moved from Somerset County to Fox Hill in Elizabeth City County VA, then to York County VA in the early 1800s. He seems to have been part of a large migration of families from Somerset to York County.

MESSICK posted by Frank Green on Friday, September 20, 2002

I am looking for information on my ancester Zadock Messick. He moved from Somerset County to York County VA in the early 1800s.

HUDSON posted by Pamela Tedesco on Saturday, October 5, 2002

Peter Adolphus HUDSON was married to Margaret. He was born April 30,1870, she was born March 20, 1872, and both are buried at Rehobeth Cemetery . They had a cannery and ran a general store at Hudson's Corner near Marion.

CULVER, HOWARD posted by William Roger Culver on Sunday, October 20, 2002

I am searching for information about John HOWARD. He is a great-gandfather to me. His daughter, Lena (1880-1924) is a grandmother. She married Woodland F. CULVER. She grew up in the Rehoboth area of Somerset County.

LANE posted by Lamar Lane on Monday, October 21, 2002

We have a Walter LANE who left a will in Craven Co., NC in 1757. We believe his family was previously located in Somerset Co., MD. Any help with making a connection will be greatly appreciated.

ALEXANDER, GLOVER posted by J. Denis Glover on Tuesday, October 22, 2002

I am interested in the ALEXANDER and GLOVER families who lived in Somerset County in colonial times. Especially if you know of any who migrated to northern Virginia before about 1800. One Thomas Alexander was in Alexandria (if perhaps only briefly) in 1802. He was somehow involved in iron making. These two families were probably related before 1800 and moved on to the Shenandoah Valley.

JONES posted by Greg Jones on Tuesday, October 22, 2002

I'm hoping someone can help me with a link beyond my great grandfather Alonso JONES (b. 1881, from Mt. Vernon area, Somerset County). He was married to Annie (maiden name unknown) and they had three children, William Daniel JONES (b. 1914), Grace and Elizabeth. Thanks in advance!!!

BRADSHAW, BRATCHER posted by Elizabeth Forrest on Tuesday, October 29, 2002

Interested in any information on the origins in Somerset County of Richard BRATCHER, born about 1742 (place unknown) and died in 1816, will proven 14 Jun 1816. Buried at Tylerton, Smith Island, MD. Wife Arrabeller TYLER or PARKS, or both if she married twice and was known by a widow name. (Dates are from Rebecca Furniss Miller of Princess Anne.) Any information on parents of Richard BRATCHER, or possibly immigration from England or any Virginia BRADSHAW connections for that period would be appreciated.

TOWNSEND posted by Margo Broehl on Thursday, October 31, 2002

James TOWNSEND reports in his Rev War Pension App that he was born in Accomack, Somerset Co., MD in 1754. Am searching for his parents. He married Catherine ALLEN; died in Meigs Co., Ohio in 1840. I have much information on this line after it gets to Ohio and am happy to share.
