That is great on the cemeteries…the work you are doing…
Question about Lunsfords…did any originate in Lancaster Co Va? I have another line where Louis Lunsford Stott married Susannah Allen..and Polly Allen married Richard Stott..Polly in my direct line but Richard Also…
AND Both Louis and Richard are sons of Rawleigh and Lucy Stott. The maiden name for Lucy is Stott. They were cousins.
So where does the Lunsford in Lewis Lunsford Stott come into play? John and William Stott were brothers and James was father born 1666 in Lancaster co Va. No mother…is one of the wives a Lunsford? That’s what I wonder. The father of James, Bryan or Brian married Mary Shipp. In Lancaster co Va. Bryan was born in Lancaster co in 1627. Pretty early…

Sue says >>>>>> CAMERON ALLEN born 1849 person Co, nc…I thought that was interesting!
And, another son of David Young and Catherine Lanier was Drury married Martha Coleman..one of their children Nicholas Allen married Rebecca LUNSFORD born about 1820? (Nicholas born in Person co.
Person Co Heritage Vol 1, Family 352 (William Gaston Allen) His father, Drury Allen was born about 1778. He married Joannah Coleman (born about 1800) He resided in Allensville, NC (Person Co) and is believed to be a brother of Elizabeth, Thomas T., and William L. Allen ……………. [children of Drury Allen] Nicholas was born in about 1818, Frances 1832, Roan 1834, William Gaston 1836, and Virginia 1839. Nicholas married Rebecca Lunsford. end quote
I haven’t dug out my paper file on my Lunsfords yet to connect Rebecca to my lines…… and don’t find Cameron Allen in Person Co book but he could be 2 miles away from the others and be in Durham Co. This is very interesting.
Sue and Ken,
I had wondered if the Lunsford and Lankfords were the same lines. I now have more than just a “warm, fuzzy” that they are the same people.
AMAZING!
My mind is boggled by all of this. And I never would have thought of the Lankford, Langford, Lunsford being the same family but they do sound very close. When I do a search for Stott I get Stout and Stith too..I have wondered about the Stith and Stott before too but assume they are two separate names…
In the next few weeks I am working double shifts and may not be heard from as much but it sure isn’t for lack of interest.
It seems as if we find more connections to each other as time goes by and as we keep contributing.
I am grateful.

🙂
Double shifts?! Ouch.
The Lunsford/Lankford/Langford dicatomy (sometimes substituted with a “T”) comes from the different geographic/dialectical areas they are found in.
No one should assume that this only took place in America. There are plenty of previous examples of this.

One of my great aunts completed a booklet on our Lunsfords about 20 yrs ago. I have a copy. The lineage from 1000AD to first settler reads like something you would receive from one of those family crest and surname history operations. The American lines seem pretty thorough but she does a poor job of citing sources so I have not seen proof of all the connections.
Let’s skip the european stuff…….. the original settler was
Sir Thomas Lunsford, Knight and Baronet b 1610 d 1653 in Va mar Anne Hudson
I descend through his son William b circa 1638 living in 1726 in Va mar —— Griffin
His son, John b. circa 1676 d. 1731 in Va mar Elizabeth Swanson ?
His son, Swanson b. 1699 d. 1758 in Northumb. (?) co, Va mar Elizabeth Barret
His son, Swanson 2 b. Jan 7, 1731 in Northumb co, Va d. 1791 in Surrey, Va mar Margaret Kerby Cheseldine
His son, Jesse, b. circa 1760 in King George co, Va d. ? in Person co, NC ***** mar Elizabeth Glenn
His son, John b. Feb 27, 1799 in Timberlake, Person co, NC d. Mar 10, 1872 in Timberlake, Person co, NC mar Sarah Ann Davie
His son, John Wesley, b. Nov 3, 1832 d. Nov 21, 1888 mar Martha Ann Kennedy
His son, Lennie L, b. Mar 9, 1870 d. Jul 21, 1943 mar Laura Lois Satterfield
My grandmother, Annie Odell Lunsford
Dreaminghawk,
I am not ignoring you, I am just working too much and as I read through your lunsford line posted, I can’t concentrate..But, these connections are new to me and I am fairly confused.
Wm Melton and Lucy Daniel Allen had a daughter Sarah “Sally” melton who married William GLENN Feb 8 1808 greene co, Ga..with various Glenn children.
Jesse Glenn born Feb 27, 1809
Rosannah glenn born Jan 3 1812 married Anderson Caswell Britt
in Muscogee co , Ga
James Glenn B June 8, 1814
Mariah West glenn born Sept. 21, 1815
Lucy Allen Glenn B Oct. 5, 1817
William West glenn b May 9 1819
George Washington glenn b march 13 1821
Mahala glenn B 2 27, 1823
Martha Jane Glenn b Mar 11 1825
Sarah Melton Glenn B Feb. 14 1827
Nancy allen Glenn born 8 31, 1829
and John A glenn born aug 15, 1831…
I think that the lines of Lunsford, Allen, Etc. when pulled together, with many of the names we have would intersect in who knows how many ways? the question is how do we pull them all together?
I can find info but I am not the great organizer, that’s for sure.
Gosh we must be distant cousins anyway!going to collapse.Sue J
🙂
the question is how do we pull them all together?
Well, I’m slowly becoming an expert on early Person/Granville/Caswell/Orange, NC settlement and migration from……. LOL
Based on some common tags (the name Moriah, Mariah being one such tag) I feel confident that we can connect the Ga group back to the Person co group. You know I’m looking for MY Glenns, too. 😉 ……. btw, the Caswell co, NC Lunsfords are Luncefords and Clay co Lunsfords are Ledfords …..and Cozarts are Cowarts.
No need to apologize for slow response time….. I fully understand the concept of real life and overwork……. this week more than most 😉 The ancesters have been waiting patiently. They know we are busy people, as were they.
HI I am doing research on my g, g, grandfather Tandy Walker of Durham, Co., NC married Lorena Cameron. I think I have spoke with Becky who posted here awhile back.

Hi Christy,
I have the info on the Walker line back to Capt. William Walker I, who was dead by 1723 when his second wife Elizabeth Walker presented his will in Henrico co va.
Daughter Elizabeth Walker Allen my direct line. In the 1704 tax register there are 3 entries for Wm. Walker, 650 acres in New Kent co Va, another 400 as Capt. William Walker and another 550 acres in Henrico co just across the Chickahominy. Wife Elizabeth Walker had her own will recorded June 3 1728. Do you have other surnames to post? Sue J
Are you in Portsmouth? My uncle had emailed me yesterday and said he was corresponding with a Christine…in Portsmouth. He is coming for a visit in Sept., and I hope to get some more information from him and take him to see Tandy’s grave. Although, there are no dates on the stone…it is still kinda neat to stand there.
Cristy,
Just click here on my profile to send me an e-mail and i will give you my yahoo e-mail address. And if you want give me yours. And are you the Christine from Portsmouth? You can reply to Moussini the same way. Saj
Cristy, Sue & Becky,

…………., Dennis (?) C., Grandson, Dec 1899, 7 months.
(Lorena/Lourena is listed as widowed on the 1910 Durham census. Maggie (Margaret), Julian C., and Lillian A. are living with her.)
Per earlier posts, Tandy & Lorena Walker are on the 1880 Moore Co census and Tandy was at Geo. S. Cole’s place in 1870 Moore.
On the 1860 Moore Co., NC census, Rollins Store, p.30; The Sandy (?) Walker, 24, living at John A. Walter (Walker?)’s, 34, and next door to Joseph Walker, 25, is probably TANDY Walker.
1840 Moore Co., NC Census, p.201:
Sarah Walker, 1 female 60 to 69 yrs old (only person in household
1830 Moore Co., NC Census, p.445:
Tandy Walker:
1 male 15 to 19
1 male 60 to 70
1 female 50 to 59.
4 male slaves
3 female slaves
no others
1820 Moore Co., NC Census, p.313:
Tandy Walker:
1 male 16 to 18.
2 males 16 to 25.
1 male 45 or older.
1 female 45 or older.
1 male & 1 female slave
no others
1810
Moore Co., NC Census, p.65 – don’t know if “George” is “Tandy” or not, he’s the only one I found in Moore Co in 1810:
Geo Walker:
2 males under 10.
1 male 45 or older
1 female under 10
1 female 16 to 25
1 female 45 or older
no others
1800
Chatham Co., NC, Hillsborough Twp, p.159:
Tandy Walker:
1 male 10 to 15
1 male 16 to 25
2 females under 10
1 female 10 to 15
1 female 16 to 25.
3 slaves
(If this Tandy is 25 yrs old and the 1820 Tandy is 45, they are likely to be the same person.)
