Rosamond Mallory is probably the daughter of Roger and Sarah. maybe? most likely?

 I believe my 4th GG Rosamond Mallory is the daughter of Roger Mallory and Sarah Smith and I'll tell you why... Rosa married Stephen Bourne and his sister Elizabeth Bourne married George H Mallory. Usually when two siblings marry people with the same surnames they are related. So I think Rosamond Mallory is probably George's sister... or at least a relative of his. If Rosa is the sister of George then her parents are the same as his. Roger Mallory iv and Sarah Smith. Prove me wrong.... you can't? neither can I. As Roger Mallory's family is definitely related, it is highly likely that Rosa is the daughter of Roger Mallory and Sarah Smith so although I cannot confirm these findings, I cannot deny them either. 

UPDATE FOR ALL MY BOURNE COUSINS

Looks like we have a shared LEGACY.... 

So if you click on the BOURNE tag in the post you get all the Bourne posts in the blog. But you knew that. So you probably know that I finally broke through that wall and found James Emmett Bournes parents parents... 

JAMES senior was born about 1800 and is called the late bloomer as he was about 77 when he married a much younger Matilda Stephenson and started a family. James was the son of Stephen Bourne and Rosamond Mallory and Stephen Jr was the son of Stephen Bourne and Hannah. Think she was a MINITREE but not sure. 

Stephen jr was a Sgt in the Revolution, promoted by General Washington... 

Stephen Sr was the son of William and his second wife, do not know her name... but Williams first wife was NANCY VAUGHAN.... who was not the mother of STEPHEN SR.... some confusion in the research on that... 

WILLIAM JR. was the son of WILLIAM SR. and his first wife... name unknown... but was raised by William and his second wife MARY POLLY VAUGHAN who was not Juniors mother... They married in 1711 long after William and his brother Stephen's births... 

Stay tuned...

WILLIAM BOURN'S LAND GRANT

On 11 July 1719, William Bourn received a land grant of 300 acres, in Lousia County, Virginia Land Book #10, page 433 as follows: "George, To all, Know ye that for divers good causes and considerations, but more especially for and in consideration of the sum of five shillings of good and lawful money for our use paid to our Receiver General of our Revenue, in this our Colony, Dominion of Virginia As also for and in consideration of the Importation of five persons to dwell within this our said Colony and Dominion whose names are Nicholas Stephenson, Mary Casupe (?), Eliza(beth) Johnson, Elander Mathews and Joan Hogan. We have given, granted and confirmed and these presents for us our heirs and successors do give grant and confirm unto William Bourn of New Kent County one certain tract or parcel of land containing three hundred acres - lying and being on both sides of Narrow Neck Creek in the aforesaid county and bounded as followeth, to wit, beginning at a white oak in Major Nicholas Meriwethers line on the upper side of Narrow Neck Creek running South thirty west three hundred and sixteen poles to a red oak thence south fifty one East a thirty four poles, Creek in a (?) one hundred twenty four poles to a white oak thence north forty one east at one hundred poles - branch at one hundred and forty branch at two hundred eighty four jumping branch in all three hundred fourteen poles to a white oak in the said Meriwethers line - thence along his line north fifty two west one hundred and seventy eight poles to the beginning. WITH all et To have hold et to be held et Yielding and paying et provided et In witness et witness our trusty and welbeloved Alexander Spotswood our Lt. Governor at Williamsburgh under the seal of our said Colony the Eleventh day of July one thousand seven hundred and nineteen in the fifth year of our Reign. Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood"

This land was in the part of New Kent County which became Hanover County in 1721 and which became Louisa County in 1742. It is located south of the South Anna River, near the Hanover County line, on both sides of Narrow Neck Creek, later called Duncan's Creek and now called Jones Creek. This land remained in the possession of Bourn descendants for almost one hundred years and parts of it were owned by Bourns for many more years than that. Eighty acres of this land is still carried on the tax books of Louisa County, as "formerly William Bourne, Senior's land."

On 8 April 1711, the same Parish Register shows Ann Bourn, wife of William Bourn, Jr died. William married again and they had five known children. The loss of the Hanover County records for this period makes it impossible to know when William Bourn, Jr (II) died. His land was apparently inherited by his son, William Bourn III. In 1740, two years before Louisa County was formed, William Bourn (III) sold for L5, 152 acres of the 300 acre tract, that part lying on the "upper side of Narrow Neck Creek" to Stephen Bourn, brother of William (III). (Louisa County, Virginia Deed Book A, page 386). (Information from "Stephen Bourn and Rosamond Mallory, 1950 - 1982" by Lura Elizabeth Cutchshaw, 1983.)
Birth: ABT 1670 in Louisa County, Virginia

BOURN TO BREAK WALLS

When I first started researching my Bourne line I did not get very far. My great grandma Vennie Lee Bourne was the daughter of James Emmett Bourne and Amelia Vaughan. His father was named James and his mother was named Matilda C Stephenson and they were my brick wall for a long time.  

Name	J. E. Bourne
Gender	Male
Marital Status	Single
Age	21
Birth Date	1880
Birth Place	Grayson Co., VA
Marriage Date	19 Jun 1901
Marriage Place	Wythe County, Virginia
FHL Film Number	34255
Reference ID	p71 L20
Household Members	Name Age Jas. Bourne M. Stevenson J. E. Bourne Elizabeth Pinion Wm. Vaughn Amelia Vaughn

While Amelia's marriage record named Emmett's parents as Jas and M, there were no real clues to their identities. Did M stand for Mary or Marilyn or Mariah? Why dont people fill these things out better? Obviously Jas stood for James but where was he from? When was he born?   

James and M were probably in Wythe County around 1901 right? So thats something. Ancestry would not help either. Not a clue for a long time... 

Then one day, Emmett's Death Record popped up revealing that M was actually Matilda and his wife was Pamelia.... 

Name	James Emmett Bourne
Gender	Male
Race	White
Age at Death	83
Birth Date	13 Jun 1881
Death Date	24 Mar 1964
Death Place	Fries, Grayson, Virginia, USA
Registration Date	30 Mar 1964
Father	James E Bourne
Mother	Matilda Stevens
Spouse	Pamelia Ann Bourne

So James Sr was also an E and Matilda may be a Stevens instead of a Stevenson... 

Emmett was 83 when he died in Fries and his birth and death dates were in the record.  

Once I had this info Matilda Bourn got a hint.... 

In the 1900 census, Matilda is a widow,... living in Wythe with her kids... 

Name	Matilda C Bourne
Age	35
Birth Date	Feb 1861
Birthplace	Virginia
Home in 1900	Speedwell, Wythe, Virginia
Race	White
Gender	Female
Relation to Head of House	Head
Marital Status	Widowed
Father's Birthplace	Virginia
Mother's Birthplace	Virginia
Mother: number of living children	4
Mother: How many children	6
Household Members	Name Age Matilda C Bourne 35 Geary G Bourne 24 William J Bourne 18 Mary M Bourne 8

Now we can see that Matilda was born in 1861 Virginia, and so there is a good chance James E was too....      

Also she may have had Geary (George) when she was eleven???  Well, you know how women are about their age... or it could just be a typo. What do they call typos in long hand???  Oh right, census takers.  

1880 Census shows James Bourn at age 79 and wife Matilda at age 28... about 51 years apart... and that puts James Sr. at a birth date around 1801.... so Matilda may be a second wife... and his son James Emmett was born when he was about 80... wow....   

Matilda and James were married when she was 27 according to her marriage record..... 

Name	Matilda C. Stephenson
Gender	Female
Marital Status	Single
Race	White
Age	27
Birth Date	1851
Birth Place	Grayson
Marriage Date	30 Jul 1878
Marriage Place	Grayson County, Virginia
FHL Film Number	31758
Reference ID	reg2 p37 #53
Household Members	Name Age Matilda C. Stephenson Stephenson Stephenson James Bourn R. H. Bourn S. Bourn

James Sr was the son of S and RH BOURN....  and he was married at age 77... 

Name:	James Bourn
Gender:	Male
Marital Status:	Single
Race:	White
Age:	77
Birth Date:	1801
Birth Place:	Grayson
Marriage Date:	30 Jul 1878
Marriage Place:	Grayson County, Virginia
Father:	S. Bourn
Mother:	R. H. Bourn
Spouse:	Matilda C. Stephenson
FHL Film Number:	31758
Reference ID:	reg2 p37 #53

James parents turned out to be Steven Bourn and Rosamond H Mallory Bourn... 

I have to thank a cousin for this revelation as there were no hints to connect the dots here.... 

"How did you link James E Bourne (before 1860-1900) and Matilda Stephenson as being the parents of William James Emmet and the others? According to the trees on ancestry and rootsweb members connect this James E Bourne was born about 1800 in Grayson County.

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=guywells&id=I0876

The information above has the parents of James E Bourne as Stephen Devil Bourne (b. 31 Oct 1760 in Louisa Co VA) and Rosamond Mallory (b. 4 Sep 1792.)
They have James as being born 16 Sep 1800 in Grayson Co. VA and his wife Matilda Stephenson as much younger.

The above link is to the findagrave memorial for Rosamond Bourne Reeves. If you send a message to the people who commented on her memorial, as well as some of the other Bournes in this cemetery, you might get some response. There are comments added to your ancestor James Emmett Bourne in the same cemetery.

I don’t see census records posted in your tree prior to 1900. Have you found George living with his parents in the 1880 census?
Have you found all the census records for your Bourne family, either on ancestry.com or familysearch.org?
= = = =
Have you searched for obits for any of the siblings of James Emmett Bourne and his parents James and Matilda?
I will look a little more.
Take care

Sometimes info from a cousin can lead to a whole new branch.AND A BROKEN WALL...

HAPPY HUNTING

#BrickWallWednesday - James Emmett Bourne and Amelia Vaughan

Brick Wall Broken... Film at 11. Wait a minute... I dont have a film...

Anyway... Remember the brick wall I told you about a long time ago? The parents of Milly Vaughan? Well, thanks to a couple Ancestry trees, I found them. Now, don't tell me that the trees are not totally reliable... I know that. I always just rely on them for leads only. However, there it was.

Let me start at 1. My info was somewhat sketchy on Milly Vaughan and Emmett Bourne, and it was nothing but dead ends at first. While the first censuses I found on them said his name was William E. Bourne, and more reliable sources said his name was Emmett, I considered the possibility that his name may be wrong on some documents, so I changed his name on Ancestry to Emmett and then it happened. I got a leaf, er, hint. and suddenly, the walls fell down and I found some trees that listed their parents at last....

James Emmett Bourne was born on June 13, 1881, in Grayson County, Virginia, the child of JAMES BOURNE and M. STEVENSON. He married Amelia Ann Vaughan on June 19, 1901, in Wythe County, Virginia. They had 11 children during their marriage. He died on March 24, 1964, in Virginia, at the age of 82, and was buried in Cripple Creek, Virginia.  

James was about 35 when World War One started and he registered for the Old Man's Draft for World War Two in 1942.  

When Amelia Ann Vaughan was born on September 11, 1881, in Wythe County, Virginia, her father, WILLIAM VAUGHAN, was 60 and her mother, ELIZABETH F. PINION, was 30. She married James Emmett Bourne on June 19, 1901, in Wythe County, Virginia. They had 11 children during their marriage. She died on February 25, 1924, at the age of 42.   

1910 CENSUS  

Name:	William E Baurne [William E Bourne]
Age in 1910:	28
Birth Year:	abt 1882
Birthplace:	Virginia
Home in 1910:	Honley, Wythe, Virginia
Race:	[White]
Gender:	Male
Relation to Head of House:	Head
Marital Status:	Married
Spouse's Name:	Melia A Bourne
Father's Birthplace:	Virginia
Mother's Birthplace:	Virginia
Neighbors:	View others on page
Household Members:	Name Age William E Baurne 28 Melia A Bourne 26 Minnie L Bourne 8 Willie M Bourne 7 Eller E Bourne 4 Ruth M Bourne 3 William J R Bourne 1

AMELIA was called Melia in the 1910 census and my great grandma Vennie was called Minnie. Censuses are often a little wrong, but this census led me to believe his name was William and searches for William and Melia were fruitless. An Ancestry tree listed Milly as Amelia, a name I had suspected to be her real name all along. 

Amelia Vaughan married J. E. Bourne in 1901. 

Name:	J. E. Bourne
Gender:	Male
Marital Status:	Single
Age:	21
Birth Date:	1880
Birth Place:	Grayson Co., VA
Marriage Date:	19 Jun 1901
Marriage Place:	Wythe County, Virginia
Father:	Jas. Bourne
Mother:	M. Stevenson
Spouse:	Amelia Vaughn
FHL Film Number:	34255

James Emmett Bourne was the son of Jas. Bourne and M. Stevenson and Amelia was the d/o Wm. Vaughan and Elizabeth Pinion.   

Funny how one little leaf can bust through a brick wall, isnt it? 

Bourne Heritage: 30. William Bourne and 31. Melia Vaughan #52ancestors

Number 30 on my ancestor list is William Emmett Bourne and number 31 is his wife Melia Vaughan Bourne. I cannot tell you who their parents are as they are two of my walls and have been for months, but I can tell you a little about them. William Emmett Bourne and Millie Vaughan are the parents of my great grandmother Vennie Lee Bourne who married William Akers. William and Millie are my 2nd great grandparents; that is generation 5 on the old pedigree and sadly they are the end of the lines of those branches. Maybe someday...
