DR. RENALD RENE DE LA FORCE #FamilyHistoryFriday

FOUND a new blog, to me at least, about my newly found bloodline the De La Force line from LaForce, France...
and the father or grandfather of my seventh great grandmother Sarah LaForce,,,,

Dr. Rene LaForce was apparently a Hugeonot who lead a group from France to Virginia and settled his family in America. His daughter or granddaughter married Booth Napier and had a daughter named Mary who married Sgt. William Vaughan, a revolutionary soldier and my sixth great grandfather.  

Perhaps the force is with me after all.

58/ 59 Zachariah Taylor and Elizabeth Peak

1850 census of PLEASANT COLEMAN TAYLOR, CARROLL CO., VA.

It's Family History Friday and number 58 on my ancestor list is my third great grandfather, Zachariah Taylor, the husband of Elizabeth Peak. The Taylors are the last names on my ancestor list in generation 6 as I have not yet found the names of the next four ancestors and so this will be the end of my generation 6 posts for now...

Zack Taylor was the son of Pleasant Coleman Taylor and Jane Reed Tharp.
Zack married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Peak on December 16, 1873 in Wythe Co., VA. 

Zack's marriage record says he was born in Carroll county, Virginia as was his wife Elizabeth.
Lizzie's parents were Aaron Peak and Sally Christley. Zack's parents were Pleasant Taylor and Jane AKA "Jincy" Tharp. Pleasant and Jane were born in North Carolina, as were their children Thomas and Eliza A. Taylor. Their other children were born in Virginia, so the family must have moved to Virginia about 1944. Pleasant's mother was living with him in 1850 when Zack was age 3.

Captain James Stewart of the Dinwiddie Massacre #52ancestors

Captain James Stuart was killed in the Dinwiddie Massacre in 1757. He was burned at the stake by indians in front of his son.

James was born c 1719 in Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, (or in Tyrone County in Ulster, Ireland,) where his family certainly moved before travelling to America. He was the fourth child of John Stuart, born circa 1680 in Dunblane.  

James Stewart married Mary Ann Lafferty around 1738 in Ireland, and they came to Shenandoah Valley, Virginia about 1740, settling at Cowpasture in Augusta County. James' older sister Elizabeth (born circa 1718 in Dunblane) married Ralph Lafferty. (They also lived in Augusta County.)

James Stewart served as a Captain in the French and Indian War in the 2nd column of the Augusta County Militia under John Dickenson in 1755, and was killed by Indians (burned at the stake) in Staunton, Virginia in September 1757.

40/41. THOMAS COLLINS/ ELIZABETH BOOTH #52ancestors

Thomas Collins, AKA L. Collins, was the son of James H. Collins and Mary "Polly" Conner. He married Elizabeth Booth, the daughter of Abner Booth and Nancy Ruth Beckett.

QUOTES:

Mary or Polly Gibson"

2. "Madison Martin Aldridge married Mary (Polly) Aldridge 27 April 1837 in

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...

58. Zack Taylor and 59. Lizzie Peak of Wythe County, Va. #52ancestors

Thanks to Family Search, I finally broke through that thick Taylor wall of mine and found the parents and grandparents of Nora Taylor Akers. Nora married Leander Wade Akers in Wythe County, Virginia and the marriage record said her parents names were Z. Taylor and E. Peak. A little digging found a Zachonalt Taylor and Lizzie Peak who married in Wythe County a few years before Nora was born. Strong coincidence? A little more digging found records of Zechariah Taylor and Elizabeth J. Peak's family in Wythe, Va. I thought that Zachonalt was a strange name but after thinking about it a while I realized that Zachonalt and Zachariah look a whole lot alike in cursive and so...

Well, anyway Zack was the son of Pleasant Coleman Taylor AND Jane Reed Tharp, and Lizzie was the daughter of Aaron Peak and Sarah Christley, my new walls in the Nora Taylor bloodline. Jane was the daughter of Jonathan Tharp and Aaron was the son of Samuel Peak and his wife Mary.

Pleasant's 1850 census lists Eliza A. Taylor age 88 living with him and he had moved from NC to VA by then, so I suspect that Eliza A. Taylor was his mother. She was born in 1762 Virginia. Husband may have died before 1850 census.

If you are new to genealogy, walls is code for challenge....
