Anyone know what “S. Aime” and “SC” means in context of the following partial document concerning “David Lemay”
1802 List of Peter Crawford
Lemay, David (S. Aime) 1 tithe
Lemay, Charles (Est) 1 tithe 1 horse
Kenny, Abram 1 tithe 1 horse
Kenny, David 1 tithe
Kenny, Isaac 1 tithe
1812 List of William Wash
Ailstock, Absolom 1 tithe 1 horse
Abraham FN
Day, Lewis FN
Edwards, Edward 2 tithes 2 horses
Elliss, Peter FN 1 tithe 1 horse
Head, Jerrey FN 1 tithe
Jackson, Nanney FN 1 horse
Jackson, Toby FN 1 tithe 2 horses
Kenney, Abraham 1 tithe 1 slave over 16, 2 horses
Lamay, David SC 1 tithe 1 horse
Lamay, John SC 1 tithe
Terrell, Ceaser FN 1 tithe 1 horse
There’s a Charles Lemay on Henry Garrett’s list in 1797 and 1798, then what looks like Anne, or Annis Lemay in 1799 and 1800. Those are the only Lemay listings I see for those years. The listings for Anne or Annis look like this:
Lemay Annis 1 son (1 tithe and 1 horse in 1799, 1 tithe and 2 horses in 1800)
Could your 1802 listing mean “son of Annis” ? Meaning he was 21 now so the household was listed in his name instead of his mother’s?
Yet another correction – there’s a Charles Lemay on Henry Garrett’s 1799 list, so Anne or whoever she is is a different household. Sorry for the confusion.
Barbara, you might have something with the “son of Annis” since David’s mother was Anna (Annis) Branham. A transcription error is not out of the ordinary. Would you have any idea on the “SC” instead of “FN” like several on these lists.
I could be reading it wrong – it may be Anna, not Annis.
Sorry, no clue about the “SC.” I looked through the whole 1800A list and didn’t see it. The only notations I could make out were Sr., Jr., son, WT (white tithe, I guess?), overs (overseer?) and apprentice. This is from binnsgenealogy.com tax lists – they don’t show a “B” list for 1800, or anything after that.
On some lists I’ve been looking at in Greenbrier County the mystery notation “Sinks” turned out to be location information for men with common names to distinguish them from another man with the same name – is there a location in Louisa that could be abbreviated that way?
Only thing that comes to mind is South Anna River. Is it very common to add notations after names to discern localities.
Hello,
Did you ever find the location of Gibson’s Mill? I mean, is there a real landmark? I am going to be in Louisa next week and thought I’d go there.
Thanks,
Davida

Davida, the mill pond and all landmarks are gone. I used land transactions and other available documents to try and determine where it might have been. As best as I can tell, if you took route 22 out of Louisa towards Gordonsville, approximately 4 miles after you pass route 33 you will cross South Anna River. The mill would be up creek to your right about one mile. I think all you can see from the road is woods.
