Hello,
Does anyone know if there has been a different research list established for
researching (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN, Sr., born: abt. 1640 in Plymouth,
Devonshire, England and his family?
I descend from (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN, Sr. and his 1st wife: Amie/Amy
PARTRIDGE, born: abt. 1640, possibly in Plymouth, Devonshire, England, who
may have lived in London, England, and was the sister of Samuell PARTRIDGE
and their sisters, Sarah PARTRIDGE, Elizabeth PARTRIDGE and Mary PARTRIDGE,
whom I believe all immigrated to Virginia, possibly together. Looking to
find out the names of their parents.
There was also a PARTRIDGE marriage in my LAMKIN ancestry but not that I
directly descend from but I believe that it may have been one of the children
of my ancestral grandparents from 1600's Virginia, Hannah COX, and 1st
husband, George LAMKIN. Hannah's 2nd husband was Dr. Samuel DEMOURVILLE.
But it could have been a sibling or cousin of George LAMKIN's that married
the PARTRIDGE.
(Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN, Sr. and Amie/Amy PARTRIDGE had a son named
Alexander DONIPHAN, Jr. that married Sarah SALLIS, (daughter of Samuell
SALLIS, 1st husband, and Mrs. Sarah CATLETT TALIAFERRO SHORT, (widow of 1st
husband, Robert TALIAFERRO, Jr. and married 3rd husband, Samuell SHORT.)
Mrs. Sarah CATLETT TALIAFERRO SHORT was the daughter of (Colonel) John
CATLETT and I believe her mother's name was Sarah HAWKINS but I may not be
remembering correctly on that.
I descend from (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN, Sr. and Amie/Amy PARTRIDGE
through daughter, Amy DONIPHAN, born: abt. 1662, who married as her 1st
husband, (Captain) John KELLY, born: abt. 1660 in Virginia?, don't know
county, (maybe Rappahannock???,) (son of Penelope ?, (was she named SALLIS as
well????,) and Matthew (1) KELLY,) and Amy DONIPHAN's 2nd husband was Edward
RANSDELL.
My descent continues through (Captain) John KELLY and Amy DONIPHAN's
daughter, Ann KELLY, born: abt. 1696 in Virginia, probably Richmond County,
died: 1734/1735 in Richmond County, Virginia, who married William JENNINGS,
Jr., born: abt. 1695 in Richmond County, Virginia, died: 1733 in Richmond
County, Virginia.
William JENNINGS, Jr. was the son of Mary WILLOUGHBY and husband, William
JENNINGS, Sr., born: abt. 1668 in Rappahannock County, Virginia, (son of
immigrant to Rappahannock County, Virginia, John JENNINGS, born: May 22,
1640 in St. Martin's Parish, Birmingham, Worcester County, Virginia, and his
wife believed to be Margaret PAYNE, (daughter of John PAYNE, immigrant, born:
abt. 1615 in Yorkshire, England, died: 1689/90 in Maryland during the
Maryland Protestant Revolution, buried at "Red House," Cedar Hill,
Westmoreland County, Virginia, and his wife whom is thought to be
Margrett/Margaret ROBINSON, daughter of early 1600's Tidewater area of
Virginia immigrant, Richard ROBINSON, uncle or great uncle or Christopher
ROBINSON, immigrant.
Mary WILLOUGHBY, born: abt. 1670 in ?/VA?, prob. Rappahannock County,
(parents: ??, believed, most likely, to be descended from (Sir) Ambrose
WILLOUGHBY, but no idea whom her parents were. Also, I believe that she is
probably closely related to Elizabeth WILLOUGHBY who married Isaac ALLERTON,
Jr., (son of Feare BREWSTER and Isaac ALLERTON, Sr., but I don't know the
exact connection.) In addition, I am searching for information about Mrs.
Mat(t)ilda/Mathilda Martha? ALLERTON EARLE RUST BENNETT who was the 2nd wife
of her 1st husband, Samuel EARLE, I, (my paternal 7th great grandfather,)
(son of (Sir) John EARLE, born: abt. 1612 in Nye, Wynscombe, Somersetshire,
England,) and Mary SYMONS/SYMONDS, born: abt. 1619 in Gloucestershire,
England, (thought to be sister of Francis SYMONS,) and Samuel EARLE, I's 1st
wife, my 7th great grandfather was Bridget HALE(S,) (daughter of Thomasina
DOWCETT and Thomas HALE(S.)
Mat(t)ilda/Mathilda Martha? ALLERTON's 2nd husband was William RUST and her
3rd husband was John BENNETT whom is believed to be another 7th great
grandfather of mine, paternal, as he is believed to have been the father of
my 6th great grandmother, paternal, Phillis BENNETT, wife of Samuel EARLE,
II, (son of the aforementioned Bridget HALE(S) and her husband, Samuel EARLE,
I.
In addition, Matilda and her 2nd husband, William RUST, are related through
their descendants to my aforementioned lineage from my maternal ancestral
great grandmother, Mrs. Hannah COX LAMKIN, and her 2nd husband, Dr. Samuel
DEMOURVILLE, in addition to their being related to my paternal 9th great
grandfather, John PAYNE, immigrant, born: abt. 1615 in Yorkshire, England,
immigrated to Rappahannock Co., VA.
My descent continues from the aforementioned Ann KELLY and William JENNINGS,
Jr. > Edward Salley JENNINGS, Sr. & Sarah MOORE? > John JENNINGS, (RS,) &
Rachel JORDAN > Bailey JENNINGS & 1st wife: Kitty EARLE, (daughter of
Tabitha WILLIAMS & Samuel EARLE, IV, (RS/Sgt.,) (2nd son of his name,) born:
January 20, 1760 at "Town Run" Plantation, Fauquier County, Virginia, (son of
Elizabeth HOLBROOK/HOLDBROOK(E,) born: abt. 1733 in Prince William County,
Virginia, (2nd wife,) and (Major) Samuel EARLE, III, born: abt. 1692 in
Westmoreland County, Virginia, (his 1st wife was Anna SORRELL and they were
the parents of a 1st son named Samuel EARLE, IV, b: 1727, d: 1752, md: Miss ?
PERKINS,) and Samuel, III was the son of the aforementioned Samuel EARLE, II
and his 1st wife, Phillis BENNETT.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to help.
Sincerely,
Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
