Comment by Brownie MacKie on October 7, 2012 at 10:03am: NANTZ/NANCE, WILLINGHAM/WINNINGHAM. Lunenburg County, VA. Narcissa D. Claybrook (nee Nantz/Nance) listed in Tavener Nance will. Does not say if she is a daughter of his or not. Narcissa married WPD Claybrook in 1827 in Kentucky. She was my 3rd gt. grandmother, and I would like to be able to say that she was the daughter of Tavener and Mary Willingham Nance, but it's hard to find written proof. Mary Willingham was the daughter of Gerald and Mary Johnson Willingham. Have been working on this for so long. Now I need to find some help with it. Thanks.

Comment by John Hale on May 11, 2012 at 6:15pm: Update on my research of my Hale line.

A before unknown cousin was located who is the great granddaughter of Henry Hale a brother to John Hale, my great grandfather. She stated that her mother (Mary Quinn) always told her and her brother they were not really Hale. They were AKERS. Her mother told them an Aker was adopted either by Henry Hale or his father John Hale, my great great grandfather.

Would any one know of any Acker/Aker/Akers that was taken in by a Hale family? Thanks for any help.

http://www.vdh.state.va.us/vital_records/

For earlier records, try the State Library or local court houses/historical societies.

Comment by Mary E. Lohmeyer on March 30, 2012 at 10:04pm: I currently live in Richmond, VA and upon occasion get to the State Library and to various sites around the state. Most all of my various ancestors originally came from or through VA.
