Virginia Ancestors Part 2
This is from my father’s line. My father’s great granparents were: John James Lee, Mattie Sheppard (adopted line), Charles Keith, Mary Patrick (biological line), William Fowler, Theodora Deaton, William Tucker, Annie Watkins, Marshall Majors, and Ida Landrum.
Lee
- Rubin Lee (1823-1910) was supposedly born in Virginia but was raised in South Carolina.
Sheppard
- Lunsford Hudson (1768- 1856) Chesterfield, VA (moved to SC)
- Abraham Hudson (1729-1806) Chesterfield, VA (moved to SC)
- Thomas Parks was born in 1750 in Amelia County, VA
- His Wife Anne Brockman (1766-1833) was born in Orange County, VA
Keith
- None. The Keith family began in PA, moved to TN and then to GA. (My grandfather was born in Atlanta.) They were a very religious family.
Patrick
The Patricks were a Georgia family. We haven’t gone back enough to see if any lived in VA.The Patricks did indeed come from Virginia. They later moved to North Carolina and then to Wilkes County, Georgia. Some of the Patrick ancestors settled in Prince William and Fairfax countied near where I live now. I found an ancestor with the last name of Keene and recently drove on Old Keene Mill Road in Fairfax County!
Fowler
- They are from North Carolina. We haven’t been able to go back too far on this line.
Deaton
- James Deaton died in 1806 and was born in Amelia County, VA
- Obedience Jackson (1745-1789) Amelia County, VA
- Thomas Deaton (1720-1763) Virginia

- William Deaton was born in London, England and moved to VA. He died in 1712 in Amelia County, VA.
- Eliza Truhett (1632-1712) lived in Amelia County, VA
Tucker
- (Since he came from VA this is pretty much all a Virginia family. It was said he even spoke with a Virginian accent. He may be from the early Captain William Tucker of the first Virginia House of Burgesses but has since been unproven)
- William Tucker (1840-1921) (my father’s great grandfather) was born in Madison County, VA and moved to Ripley, TN.
- John Tucker (1800-1880) Culpepper County, VA
- Isabella Tatum (1810-1866) Madison/Culpepper VA
- William Tucker (1769-1861) Madison Co, VA
- Jemima Roberts (1776-1803) Culpepper Co, VA

Watkins
- Annie Watkins’ family primarily came from Maryland then to TN.

- Elizabeth Baker was his wife and was born in 1739 in Rockingham Co, VA and died in Knox Co, TN.
- Samuel Baker (1720-1782) died in Prince Edward, VA
Majors
- We don’t have a lot of information on the early Majors. If we compare them to the families they married into, they came to VA from England, moved to South Carolina, and then to Georgia after the Revolutionary War. It is possible that they could have been among those from Pennsylvania. One of the Majors married a Castleberry. The Castleberry family came from Pennsylvania, then North or South CArolina, and then to Wilkes County, Georgia.

I checked on my family tree, but couldn’t find a Rachel Tucker.

Maybe you can help me on a Landrum quandry!! John D. Landrum 1896-abt 1770 is shown having both Mary Chew(Daugh of Larkin Chew & Hannah Roy) as a wife and a Mary Buckner -I think they maybe one in the same OR their may have been 2 John D. that were brothers born 4 years apart and 1 married Chew and the other Bruckner-Any ideas/help-etc on this one? Thanks in advance!

Are those dates correct? I only have Mary Buckner in my records. I never got to research it further. I found a book on early Essex county records but was not able to follow up. The Chew connection is interesting since I am related to Chews on another line.
I hope to get back to the Landrums soon and hope to find the connection to Mary Buckner.

I’m interested in the Archibald Campbell connection under Watkins. I have Elizabeth Baker b. 1740 Amelia co. minor differences in dates are trivial, but I’m looking beyond Archibald who is my direct ancestor. His father was John (practically no info) John’s father was James who may have came over with son John. I have Jame’s will, otherwise, “brick wall”

I also have practically no information on John Campbell except that I have as his wife Rebecca White. I have James Campbell married to a Margaret. There is a story that they were Ulster Scots and went to Pennsylvania but there is no proof. Our brick wall too!

Under the “Tucker” family is Benjamin Roberts 1740-1781, married to Sarah James. Is he the son of the older Benjamin Roberts, abt 1707-1782? Also, where does this Jemima Roberts fit in? Does anyone know where I go to find the proof? Thanks!
on September 23rd, 2008 at 11:19 am
The father of Jemima Roberts is Benjamin Roberts who is the son of Benjamin Roberts and Ann Dulaney. I don’t have the proof at this time. My mother has the “Red Book” written by my grandmother’s cousin Virginia Tucker Oliver that explains how they are related. Jemima Roberts first married James Lewis before she married William Tucker.

We descend from James Cooley, of Charles City County, Virginia, who settled in Humphreys County, Tennessee. His log cabin from the 1820s still stands. Will gladly exchange information on the family.

Wow! I will tell my mother. Where is the log cabin? We still have a lot of family in West Tennessee.
