| 214 | Edward Maxey, Sr., and his wife Susannah (surname unproved) arrived in Henrico Co., Va., before 1720. In the Minute Book of that county in December of that year Edward was paid 100 pounds of tobacco for one wolf's head killed by his negroes. Note 1. The Minute Book of February 1722 recorded a request that Edward appear before the court to answer a petition of William Bradshaw. This request was repeated five times over the next two years before it was finally dropped from the records with no further action being taken. Note 2. No earlier record in Virginia or elsewhere has come to light for him although a diligent search has been made. Therefore it is a point of speculation as to whether they moved inland from one of the coastal counties (such as King and Queen where all early records have been destroyed), came from another state, or had just arrived in America from the British Isles. On 17 August 1725 he and his son Edward, Jr., each patented 400 acres in Henrico County -- this land now being located in Powhatan County -- to supplement 400 acres previously secured by Edward, Sr., on the 25th of March. No more information is available from the records until the wills of Edward and Susannah were proved in Goochland Co., Va. -- his on 20 May 1740 and hers on 20 September 1743. Note 4. It is estimated that all of the children of Edward and Susannah were grown -- and some married --by the time of their arrival in Henrico County, with the exceptions of Walter and Sylvanus. At the May Court in 1738, two years before his death, Edward was exempted from the payment of taxes, no doubt due to his advanced age. Note 5. Children of Edward and Susannah ( ) Maxey: 1.

Henry Wood Clerk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fled from France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. After a sojourn in England of indeterminate duration they arrived in the Colony of VA prior to 1700. They settled c1700 in Henrico Co., VA *Source: Brøderbund WFT Vol. 9, Ed. 1, Tree #2839 Note: see below for a refutation of this claim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Extracts from the introduction to Edythe Maxey Clark's book: "Some Maxeys have sustained a tradition that their forebears were Huguenots; but that belief is incorrect. Early Maxeys did, however, marry into many of the French refugee families who settled in Manakin Town, west of Richmond, about 1700, on land granted to them by the English king. Some of those Huguenot spouses were Bondurants, Chastains, Sallees, Agees, Subletts and Fords. The Maxey name is no longer acceptable for membership into the Huguenot Society. To be sure, there is a town of Maxey in France. But the first person by that name in England was said to have been Organ Maxey of Cheshire, who was probably there by the 11th century. There is also an ancient town of Maxey in the county of Northamptonshire, England. According to The History and Antiquities of the County of Essex by Philip Morant, published in London in 1816, the Maxeys of Saling and Bradwell Halls in Essex County, England, from the 15th to the 18th centuries were descended from the family originally of Cheshire and of the Maxey castle (no longer standing) in the county of Northhamptonshire. There were also Maxeys in East Anglia, Suffolk, Lincolnshire and London. We have not discovered where our progenitor, Edward Maxey, was born or when he arrived in this country; but he was definitely English-speaking and probably came from the British Isles. The earliest record that has been located for Edward is dated 1720, in Henrico County, Virginia. However, some of Henrico's earlier records are missing. Edward may have moved inland to that county, but many of the early records of the Virginia coastal counties also have been destroyed. The Maxey name has been found in various documents spelled also Maxe, Maxcey, Maxcy, Maxy, Maxi, Maxie, Macksie, Macksey and even McSey. Some branches today use the spelling Maxcy, Maxie and Maxcey. But the names Massey and Massie are other families, not of the Maxey lines. The registers of Virginia parishes where the earliest of our Maxeys lived are no longer extant. Even before the Revolution the dominant church in Virginia -- Episcopalian -- had begun a decay. Churches were stripped of their utilitarian trappings and allowed to crumble and be consumed by the forest. Graveyards were recaptured by brambles, and stone markers were used as pastry boards in farm kitchens, their legends being imprinted repeatedly on pie crusts and bread loaves -- never mind the alarm of a guest who might be offered a slice from a loaf inscribed Rest in Peace! Battles fought on Virginia soil during the Revolution and the Civil War also took a toll of early tombstones; and then much of what vandalism didn't destroy "progress" did. Beyond that, fires in many of the county courthouses in the areas where Maxeys lived destroyed all or part of their early documents. Research was hampered by the fact that 110 years of records were destroyed in a fire at the Buckingham County, Virginia, courthouse in 1868. The land and personal property tax books survived and helped fill a serious void. Other counties in our sphere of interest where all or part of the early records are missing --burned, stolen or ravaged by time -- are Henrico (mentioned earlier) and Nottoway in Virginia... An awareness of the formation of some Virginia counties is helpful; Goochland was created from a part of Henrico in 1727; Albemarle from part of Goochland in 1744; Cumberland from part of Goochland in 1748; Chesterfield from part of Henrico in 1749; Halifax from part of Lunenburg in 1752; Buckingham from a section of Albemarle in 1758; Powhatan from parts of Cumberland and Chesterfield in 1777; and Franklin from portions of Bedford and Henry in 1785. This redrawing of counties occurred in other states as well. Thus it happens that a person may have been born in one county, married in another and died in a third, without ever moving. Our ancestors were not very careful record keepers. Birth and death records from different sources, i.e., censuses, death certificates, county birth and death records, obituaries, family Bibles, tombstones, etc., often conflict. Family historians must also confront fading documents, poor handwriting, and phonetic spelling of names. Every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible in compiling The Maxeys of Virginia. And accuracy imposes an obligation of honesty to the reader, which is violated if relevant facts are intentionally omitted to obscure an indelicate episode. As early American author and feminist Mercy Otis Warren put it: "The faithful historian delineates characters truly, let the censure fall where it will." *Source: Edythe Maxey Clark, The Maxeys of Virginia: A genealogical history of the descendants of Edward and Susannah Maxey, (Baltimore: Gateway Press; 5002 Alta Vista Rd., Bethesda, MD, 20814: E.M.

| 217 | Elisha Evans was born 2 Dec. 1760 in Nottaway Co. VA. He enlisted in the North Carolina Continental line while residing in Caswell Co. NC. He was present at the Battle of Camden and the Battle at King’s Mountain. He married Elizabeth Lea 3 Mar. 1789. Elisha Evans was a Revolutionary War veteran who received a pension (Pension Certificate No. 4254). He applied for that pension in Caswell County on 8 Oct. 1832. According to his pension application (S6830), Elisha served with North Carolina troops in the Continental cause from 1778 to 1781. His service began sometime around Oct. 1778, when he served five months in Capt. White's company, Col. James Sanders' regiment. He was discharged sometime in April 1779. In the summer of 1780, he served four months in Capt. John Graves' company, Col. Paisley's regiment, with which he was at the Battle of Camden. Afterwards, he was transferred to Capt. John McMullin's company of Light Horse in Col. James Williams' regiment, with which he was at the Battle of King's Mountain (about Oct. 1780). In the winter of 1780/81 he served for three months in Capt. Spillsby Coleman's company, Col. Farmer's regiment, with which he was at the Battle of Cowan's Ford and an engagement at Torrance's Lane. From Aug. or Sept. 1781, he served in Capt. John McMullen's company, Col. William Moore's regiment, with which he was at an engagement at White Marsh. | Evans, Elisha (I2401)

| 218 | Eliza French was the daughter of John French and Mariah Taylor. Mariah Taylor’s father, James D. Taylor, died in 1856 holding land on Rockhouse Creek in Rockingham Co. The heirs of James D. Taylor filed a petition to sell the land. Apparently, Mariah Taylor died before her father. Therefore, the children of Mariah Taylor were named as petitoners.

| 220 | Eliza Riley may be the daughter of Nathan Riley and Sarah Briggs. This information is not verified.

| 223 | Elizabeth Cunningham married Frederick Stiers in Rockingham Co., NC. The marriage bond issued on 15 Jan. 1821. The bondsman for the marriage bond was Garland Jarrell. Someone should research Elizabeth’s relatinship to Lucy Cunningham, who married William Cole, and Nancy Cunningham who married Tunis Cole. Borth were duaghters of Nathan Cole. Also, we need to research the relation of Garland Jarrell to Willie Jerrill, who married Theophilus Cole. | Cunningham, Elizabeth (I906)

| 231 | Elizabeth Sanders is present in Caswell Co. by 1786, when she purchased a tract of land from John Harben. Caswell Co. Deed Book E, p. 152. A 1788 deed from Shearwood Nance to Lewis Pike refers to widow Sanders, who is believed to be Elizabeth. Caswell Co.Deed Book F, pp. 277-78. Elizabeth Sanders appears in the Caswell Co census in 1800 (pg. 148) living adjacent to Aaron Sanders, who is believed to be her son. Her age is given as more than 45. Thus, she must have been born prior to 1755 and likely much earlier. She is not listed in the 1810 census, but is referred to in a deed recorded in 1812. The date of the deed is the recording date, so it is possible that the deed was made before 1810. It seems likely based on deed records that Mason, Aaron, Taylor, and Smith are her children. Also, it seems likely that James Sanders who appears in the census in 1830, 1840 and 1850 is her son. There is probably one more male child who I have not yet identified. Caswell Co.

| 236 | Ellison Starnes and Ellison Cagle are apparently the same person. In the 1850 census in Union Co., NC, 15 year old Ellison L. Cagle is living in the household of Esther Starnes. A marriage record in Union Co., NC shows that E.L. Cagle married Sarah Ann Keziah in 1857. He is listed in the 1860 census in Union Co. as Ellison Starnes. They have 4 children: Margaret J. (4), Rachel C. (1) and twin daughters Roxanna E. (1m) and Esther A (1m). Ellison Starnes enlisted in the Confederate Army on 26 March 1862. He was present or accounted for through October 1864.
