... one James Lea married Ann Talbot and one married Ann
Herndon. A couple of years ago I posted the following.... The
following was copied from a document found at DAR National
Headquarters. This does quite a bit to explain the
Lea/Herndon/Talbot controversy, and how it came to be. (There
follows a long depiction of how a Talbot entered this fray;
then):
....on the other hand the evidence, though circumstantial, is
overwhelming that James Lea married Ann Herndon. It is
circumstantial only in that no document showing the marriage has
been discovered. In other aspects, we rely upon documents,
classified below as (1) land ownership, (2) Spotsylvania
interests, (3) family names and (4) genealogical references.
(1) LAND OWNERSHIP . The following Power of Attorney from James
Lea is copied form the Caswell County Deed Book B:36:

deliveredIn the presence of /s/ JAMES LEA Herndon Haralson,
Jurat William Lea March 1784. The above letter of attorney was
duly proved in open court by both Herndon Haralson, one of the
witnesses thereto, and ordered to be recorded.The land referred
to as part of a tract of 100 acres on the north side of the
River in St. Stephens Parish, King and Queen County, VA.,
granted to William Lea 16 December 1714 (Virginia Land Grants,
Volume 10:214
On 6 August 1745 there were recorded two deeds of interest to
this study. James Lea, John Graves and Joseph Brock were
witnesses to the first of these. It was for John Pain and
Frances, his wife, to John Talburt for 100 acres. The other was
of adjacent property transferred by John Talburt and Margaret
his wife to Jeremiah Stevens, 36 acres on Cattail swamp on the
Mattapony River, joining the lands of Joseph Brock and near the
Samms plantation. Five years later James Lea was a witness to
the deed of sale of most of this land to James Samms by James
Stevens and his wife Alice. The other witness was James Chapman.
On 5 March 1753, James Lea and Ann his wife sold 200 acres in
Spotsylvania to James Chapman. James Lea and Edward Herndon were
members of the Vestry of St. Georges Parish, the former until he
left for North Carolina about 1755, the latter until
approximately the same date. James Lea was a witness in 1754 to
the deed of trust conveying the land on which a new church was
to be built. Edward Herndon was foreman of the November 1741
Grand Jury, one of whose members was James Lea.
James Lea was born in 1718 in King and Queen County, Va.;
removed to Spotsylvania as a young man, lived there until about
1754, and after that date the first in Orange County, N.C. until
Caswell County as erected in 1771. and from then until his death
he lived in Caswell Co.He founded Leasburg, now in Caswell
County. There he and his brothers founded the Episcopal Church.
A. E. Casey's Amite County Mississippi, Vol III, p. 564, which
lists Lucinda, Adelphia and Isabella (she's on page 562) as
daughters of James Lea and Anne Herndon, as well as the other
children. His will dated March 28, 1771, and was probated during
March Ct. in Caswell County in 1792. In it, he names his 'well
loved sons William Lea & John Lea & Major Lea, my executors';
..."Item, I give & bequeath to my true & well loved Wife Ann Lea

death I give and bequeath to my son Major Lea the land and
Plantation where on I now Live & two Cows and one yearling & one

Mother: Daisey PURL CONEY |
Mama's mother died in Magnolia, MS when she was 4 yrs old, there
were 6 motherless children. For awhile they stayed at Hickory
Hill, Wilson, LA, with her Papa's mother, and later in N.O. with
a housekeeper. Mama's sister Julia was badly burned from a
Halloween candle and the housekeeper advised Papa to place them
with the Sisters.
The baby, Daisey Mae, was already in foster care with a family
named White in Baton Rouge. After Junie was hurt, Papa kept the
oldest Arve and the youngest Nada with him. Mama was very
frightened and unhappy in her new home at the orphanage. Papa
remarried Ambrosine PLASSOT, from the Pau Valley, France; she
was visiting her sister in N.O. They moved to Shreveport, LA.
Later they sent for Mama, Olga, and Julia in N.O., but were
unsuccessful in getting the Whites to give up Daisey Mae. She
finally came to them when she was 18. Mama went to St. Mary's
grade school downtown Shreveport, and then graduated from St.
Vincents Academy.
One day Mama & Nada were out walking near their home on
Louisiana Avenue and met Jack . His uncle owned the hotel across
from the train station. A baseball mecca. They ran away to
Waskom, TX and married. Mama did not tell her Papa for sometime
and continued to live at home. Dad was away trying to make it in
Baseball - his love. Finally it all came to a head and mama and
her papa insisted dad get a regular job and quit baseball. He
went to work for the United Gas Pipeline Co. in Waskom, TX. They
used to play basketball a lot together. Mama loved sports. From
Waskom they moved for awhile with the company to Illinois. Mama
hated it...then Houston, TX where my brother was born. Dad
began to work for his uncle at the Brewster Co. servicing oil
wells with drill bits in Lake Charles, LA. where I was born. He
then moved to Vivian, LA and worked that area of N. LA. & AR out
of Rodessa. We lived in the house grandfather built in Vivian
until 1941.
After Father died in 1943, Mama worked as a secretary in the
Fingerprint Div., Shreveport Police Dept. She moved to Austin
Texas in 1952, and was Secretary to the City Traffic Engineer.
She formed the Parkadettes which were the first female officers;
they gave out tickets for expired parking meters. In 1960 she
returned to Shreveport, and was employed as a medical secretary
in the Heart Station at Confederate Memorial Hospital where she
retired in 1970.
In 1979 she moved to Crowley, LA. to live with her daughter,
Dorothy Ware, who had lost her husband.
