Does anyone know where Polly CHUMBLEY, who appears in the 1810 census for Caswell County, North Carolina, came from and/or what happened to her and the one male and one female who are listed with her in the census? The 1810 census has:
1 female 26-44 (assumed to be Polly)
1 female 10-15 (assumed to be Polly’s daughter)
1 male 16-25 (assumed to be Polly’s son)
Since Caswell County, NC is due south of and adjacent to Pittsylvania County, Virginia, it would make sense that Polly was kin to the CHUMBLEY’s/CHUMNEY’s/CHUMLEY’s who were in Pittsylvania County from at least 1791 to the present day. I’ve searched the Chum*y message boards and mailing list archives, and no one claims this Polly who is too old to be either:
(1) Mary Elizabeth “Polly” FREEMAN who married Lewis Franklin CHUMLEY [according to Cyndi Galati and others]
(2) Mary “Polly” COMPTON who married Edmund CHUMBLEY [from Don Houk message board message in 1998 referencing “a family manuscript written about 75 years ago]”
The reason I’m particularly interested in this Polly CHUMBLEY is that I’m still trying to connect my CHUMNEY branch to the rest of the CHUMBLEY/CHUMLEY/CHUMNEY tree, and my GGGGrandfather John A. CHUMNEY who, according to the 1850 census for Henry County, Alabama, was born in North Carolina in 1793 *could be* Polly’s son recorded in the 1810 Caswell County, NC census. However, if someone has evidence that the male in the 1810 census with Polly is someone else, then I can concentrate my research efforts elsewhere.
Thanks,

Jim,
You may want to contact Desmond Kendrick. He is the Archivist for both Pittsylvania Co. and Henry Co., Va. I have his email and phone number, BUT, I am leary about giving out this info without Des' permission. Des is a Chumley descendant by the way of John Chumley and his son William Thomas Chumley, Sr.
I will forward your message to him and will call him to see if it is okay to give out the above info.
I have heard of your person Polly Chumley in Caswell Co., N.C. I have heard by oral accounts that she remarried, but that is gospel by st. somebody.
Let me what you find out. I have information on Larkin C. Chumley. He was the oldest son of John Chumley. Larkin was b. 10/10/1814 in Pittsylvania Co., Va and d. March 4, 1849 in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., Ky. in the township of Cornishville.

I am a direct descendant through my grandmother, Eula Chumbley McCormick, of Asa Chumbley of southwest Virginia. In the next month, I will post to this site, a photo of Asa sitting with his children and their spouses, and a letter written by my cousin Frank Baldwin describing a three-day visit he made to Lord Chumbley's residence in the 1950's.
Thanks. And will do. We plan to leave in early September; rather than
another "on the go" trip, we hope to have a couple of bases (one near
Shrewsbury) and do lots of walking & day trips.
Alice

I've seen a few emails about the Cholmondeley Castle near Chester, England, but there's an equally (if not more) impressive estate named Houghton Hall in Norfolk, one of the family seats of Lord Cholmondeley; it was begun by Sir Robert Walpole, Great Britain's first prime minister, who willed it to his daughter who had married into the Cholmondeley family.
There's an excellent article entitled "Houghton Hal Rediscovered: Lord Cholmondeley Energizes His Storied Norfolk Estate" in the January 2003 issue of Architectural Digest.
We are planning a trip there this summer.
