this is a very interesting website

Vance,
I can’t believe you just put this up here. Just two days ago I found Pettypool connecting with my Little, Davenport lines…this is getting crazy lol
Linda
That stuff happens all the time around here. We have very talented and savvy ancestors, well versed at hacking the ‘net.
Linda,
Why does it list 1719 instead of 1714 for the origin of “Fort Christ Anna”? That places it the same year as the Germanna colonists.
I noticed an Indian trader named “Dickson” but his first name is not mentioned. That is what caught my eye, but I am very happy that others have found something there as well. 🙂
Another thing that caught my eye is the early date of this material, as it dates back to the founding of Christ Anna, which is spelled in 2 words, not one.

Also I must confess I didn’t find this site. someone at my Chickamauga research site discovered it.

Vance,
I’ve been meaning to ask you, do you have any Davenport’s in any of your lines? I have Hawkins in this line. I believe it was Issac Davenport who married a Elizabeth Hawkins in the early 1700’s. Linda
Yes I do Linda,
But it is much later. Charley Davenport married my great Aunt Ettie Richey in the early/mid-1890s in the Chickasaw Nation (near present day Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma, but back then it was called “Pickens District” of the Chickasaw Nation.) . Some of their kids movd to California.
Charley was a school teacher. I don’t know much about his ancestors, though.
Ettie was grandma’s oldest sister. My grandma, Loney Richey, married Noah Allen Hawkins.
vance
Vance,
I wonder if our Hawkins are related. Did your Hawkins once live in eastern North Carolina? I don’t know anything about this family. Just that Elizabeth Hawkins married my 5th great grandfather Issac Davenport. We have always believed this family was of Scottish and English decsent with no NA involved but I have reason to doubt this now. My 3rd great grandfather Enoch Davenport maried Hannah Rollins. Her father was Charles Rollins and they once lived in southeastern Virginia. I know I have NA from my maternal grandmother but since searching into all of my grandparents lineage there are things that are suspect in all their families. The difference is that these marriages were very early in the 1600 and into the early part of the 1700’s. My maternal grandmother’s line was still very much NA into the 1900’s. My father was very “white” in his coloring in everyway but looking at his family history I believe he was probably about 1% NA:) . My mother on the other hand is probably about 1/4 NA (the best I can figure from my search into her family) and she doesn’t mind telling you, most of that is Saponi but there’s a good bit of Nottoway there too.

My paternal grandpa was Noah Allen Hawkins, 1877-1952. He died about the same time I was born. His father was Joshua Allen Hawkins, 1837-1892. He was born in Alabama according to census records and died in Texas. I am sorry but we have never found any record of his parents. I just sent off however for a DNA test to be done on our Hawkins line. I don’t know how long it will take to get the results in, but I am waiting anxiously. This will not tell us if there is any Indian blood or not, but it should tell us who our Josuua Allen Hawkins ancestors were, perhaps letting us know where they were before they went to Alabama.
Joshua Allen Hawkins’es wife was Elizabeth Mary Ann Byrum and her family goes back to Bertie County, NC.
I’ll post my Hawkins DNA information when it comes in. I just sent off for it 2 or 3 days ago so it still might take a while to receive the results.

I wonder if these traders worked for Gov. Spotswood’s Indian Trading Company? Don’t you think they probably did?
vance
Vance,
I think they probably were legal traders so they must have had permission from Gov. Spotswood.
I can’t wait to hear your DNA results. I think it’s a good chance that your Hawkins also came from NC. I would also be willing to bet that this family also came from southern Virginia. In my studies I have come to the conclusion that most families that settled the Bertie County and surrounding areas came from Norfolk, Nansemond Cty, Surry Cty, Isle of Wight and Southhampton Cty. Bertie Cty also was somewhat of a stopping point for many. Most of my families came through that area before heading a bit west into Edgecombe and Halifax counties.
I wish I was there right now. My uncle passed away last evening. It’s been a rough day. I spoke with my cousins and it’s such a tough thing to handle. I hurt for them, I know how it feels. You know I heard their pain and all the pain I felt when my Dad passed just came back. Enough of that huh..before i start crying again.
Linda
Quest for facts,
Very sorry to hear that..I wish noone ever had to hurt.
Vance,
I’m glad you’re getting the test.
What about lists of traders for other years, not just 1710-1711?
Sue J
Sue,
that’s an interesting question . . . those names were at the website I cited (below)
http://www.mindspring.com/~baumbach/ppoole/ppoole3.htm
At the bottom of that page is a list of their sources. I don’t have access to those references. I’d would be interesting to look into some of those things, wouldn’t it? 🙂

I cant remember where i was the other day, searching some forum board on Mulatos and I saw the Surname BOND, interesting list we have here, seems to me that they were doing more than trading. ah I cant remember where I was. Bill I also wanted to mention, seeing as your our researcher extraordinare, that they have a good little forum I think it is at roots web called Ohio River Valley Families, thought you might like to check it our if you havent already.
I might have seen the BOND surname on the Genealogy.com website Mulungeon forum.
