SAULS, SALLE - Am researching the Sauls family. I have never found an immigrant by that name, but am wondering if the Abraham Sauls whose will around 1735 is the immigrant, Abraham Salle who came to Isle of Wight Co. about that time. I saw an abstract of the Sauls will and his sons, Abraham and John are mentioned. They apparently left Va. for the Carolinas and my gggrandfather was born in S.C. in 1802. His father's name is given as John and John's father as Abraham. Where could I find resources in your county to find this change of name, if it was, and are there any Sauls families still there?

RANDOLPH, LEE, VAIL - Would like to locate information on descendents of Wm. (d. Surry co 1826) & Hannah (Browne) (d. prob York co 1843-50) Randolph. Three of their four children; Richard H. (c1812-1895), Mary A. E. Lee (c1815-1892), & Harriet Bathurst E. Vail (c1821-1858) lived in Isle of Wight from c.1850 and left descendents there. I would especially like to know the name of Mary's husband, when & where they were married, and where they lived from 1850-70. She appears as a widow living with her niece, Florence B. Herrant, in Smithfield in 1880. Hannah and the children moved to York co to live with her sister Lucy and her husband Frederick B. Power after Wm. Randolph's death. Harriet was married there in 1845, but there is no marriage there for Mary (York co. appears to lack marriage records from 1850 to 1853). There was another son, Wm. E. E., with whom the family lost touch, as Mary A. E. Lee left a legacy to his children, if any, if they could be found within 2 yrs. of probate (they weren't). I would also like to know where the siblings and their descendents are buried, if anyone knows. I have quite a bit of earlier research on this branch of the Randolphs, which I will be happy to share.

Words such as "a calf when he is 10 and the land when he comes of age" Is the above John the John Bun whose Will (dated or proven) 27 Jan 1727 in Bertie Co., NC?
