Hi Saj,
In reading your response and in re-reading my posting, I see that I probably wasn’t very clear. Let me try this again in a different way.
Luke Hanks had several children. Most of his children were born in or around Richmond County VA. and more than a couple of them migrated to Kentucky. Among them were Abraham Hanks and a son named Turner Hanks. Abraham was the father of Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Turner Hanks became the father of Chichester Hanks (who married Elizabeth Allen) and Pitman Hanks (who became the father of Lucy Hanks wife of Joseph Allen).
I’m sorry if I haven’t been clear.

Hello Storyteller! I looked under Greer and Horn again. Atleast we have the
Robinns marriage in common so there was a link there:) I checked out the name Greer this is what I have Mary Caladina Greer (b) 1876 (m) 1896 to
Owen Christopher Burriss (b) 1865 then a Gladys Greer(b) 1887 married a
Roger Burris (b) 1885 then a Florence Greer (b)1877 married a Robert Brown Burriss(b) 1873 / I looked under Horn again there was a William Thomas Horn (b) Oct 6 1839 his parents were Caswell Horn (b) 1803 Edgecombe and Mary Ann Taylor (b) 1811 I guess we might be a long distant cousin ha! ha!:) See if this helps any. Oh! when you said in your post his younger Dah! Did you mean brother. I was not sure .

Lentz,
I went back to read the post again, I saw what you were talking about.:o
Yes, I meant that was his younger brother. I KNOW that that word was in there when I sent the message! The “cyber-monster” must have eaten it. He plays havoc with my typing online at times.:D
And it does look like we are distant cousins.:) The Horn that married the Robbins was a sibling to my direct ancestor.

Hello Quest , You will have to let us know your Horn family:) By the way good to hear from you. In what I see one of the Robbins married a Horn . I know you have Robbins:) Well maybe there are more distant cousins than we thought!! Linda if you read this post Thank-You for all you have done on this
site. Bringing us together:D
Horn and Robbins both are my grandmothers family. I’ll list all her surnames that I know and we can see if there are other connections: Pridgen, Moore, Etheridge, Price, Robbins, Sessoms, Horn, Batchelor, Moonahan, Manning, Lewelyn, Wynn, Smith, Thrower, Malone, Stith, Williams, Poytress, Maddox. This is what I can remember right now.
Hello Quest, From what I can tell we have a few lines in common, Robbins, Bailey, Maddox, Battle, Taylor, Moore, Horn , Pridgen And I think you posted Dew at one time. What do you think!!:) It looks like 6 or 7 lines are similiar.
Good to talk to you. Who else has some of our same lines Do you happen to know::) I think you have been on this site longer than I.
Later Lentz
Lentz,
One of my cousins has Taylor also another cousin who I also share 7 lines with has Dew as well. I have another cousin who has Dew too. Okay Lentz, Most of these are my grandmothers family (those I share in common with you) but they are also overlapping my grandfather’s family too. I have a private forum I’d like for you to join so we can talk more openly send me your email address and I will send you an invitation.
It seems my Robbins over the years married alot of different names as I have searched in detail. I start back in the 1600’s So far off my mothers side starting back then their were alot of children and marriages I will try to list all the names in case someone else has these names. I have them in chronilogical order:) Parkes , Rushold, hansford, Bailey, Maddox, Battle, Horn,
Sellers/sellars, Williams, Taylor, Moore, Sayers, Green, Dew, Reaves, Pugh, Anderson, Pridgen, Farmer, Mathis, Broswell, Slaughter, Pender, Montgomery, Swaine, Wilson, Parker, Ward, McKay, Jackson, Atkinson, Merrit, Bain, Thays, Andrews, Arnold ,Martin Alot of names but it starts in the 1600s
It seems my Robbins started around Va , but migrated to Ga and mainly the east coast of N.c 🙂 Good thing I havent started my dads side I would be confused:rolleyes:
Thank you so much for the info, most of it I already new. William Daniel Brackeen was James Madison Brackeens first child by Eliza, she died shortly after childbirth. My William Daniel kind of got lost in with all the children born to James Madisons other wifes. I still don’t have a trail to follow and it looks as if I never will find out. The info that you gave me came from the woman that told me I would find out when all was dead and gone that doesn’t want the story told. I have talked to her several times and she just says the same everytime. Thank you it looks like I am just out of luck. Sorry to have bothered you. Louise
My great-grandmother was said to be a Blackfoot Indian who lived in Caswell County, NC @1860-1925. Her last name was Hatchett, but he was the owner of the farm she worked on in the kitchen. Of course I feel there was more to it than meets the eye, but that’s all I have for now.
Additionally, I noticed that Williamson is a common name for Blackfoot Indians in that region. The rest of my relatives had the Williamson last name.
If anyone has a possible connection, email me please.
Thanks,
Vic

Most of them came from England, Wales or Scotland to VA to KY. Some of them however, were already here and they’re the ones I’m focusing on now.

Don’t know how I overlooked this thread, but here are some of my surnames:
Dad’s side: WALLER, MAYO, BRAXTON, KEY, SMITH, COOKE, PRYOR, HOLMES, ROYE/ROSS/BOYCE?, LEE, YOUNG, KEY, CONWAY, LAW(e)S, STREET, MORRIS, JACKSON…..just some direct lines
(The majority of Dad’s side come from the Northern Neck of Virginia: King William/King&Queen, Charles City, Essex, Gloucester and Middlesex Counties. Also from Edgecombe and Chowan Co. NC)
Mom’s side: GREEN, WHITING, COOK(E), RICHARDSON, HARRIS, JONES, KING….to name a few direct lines. I have to do much more research on her side. To my knowledge Mom’s people were centralized in Gloucester Co VA.
Maybe later I will list some indirect family surnames including LOCKLEY, REED, REDMOND, WHITE, JENKINS, and possibly GAINES….as soon as I find the “ties that bind”.:)
