| 609 | On 17 Feb 1759, VINCENT VASS and WINNIFRED his wife of Essex County, conveyed 240 acres of land to HENRY VASS of Essex. From the M&B description,it is clear this is the same tract lying in South Farnham parish which Vass bought from JOHN VASS and wife Rachel in March 1750/51. (King and Queen County) I believe this is Winnifred Gatewood. I don’t know if she was a widow or not. Index to Marriages of Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties, Virginia page 112: 1761,: GATEWOOD,: WINIFRED: Daughter of John, married Vincent Vass Book: O 23,Page: 401 | Gatewood, Winifred (I1591)
|
| 610 | On 20 Jan. 1794, a marriage bond was issued to Bartlett Cannon to marry Janey Kennon (Cannon). Caswell Co. Marriage Bond 000016315. William Kannon was the bondsman and Joseph Hall was the witness. Jane Cannon may possibly be the daughter of John Cannon and Ann Whitlow, but further research is needed to prove this relationship. Bartlett Cannon is likely the son of Benjamin Cannon, who died intestate in Stokes Co., NC in 1800. The estate records do not identify any of the children of Benjamin Cannon. However, the guardianship records indicate that Bartlett Cannon was appointed guardian of the orphans of Benjamin Cannon. Shortly after the death of Benjmain Cannon, Joel Cannon, a minor, appeared in court in Knox Co., Tennessee and chose Bartlett Cannon to be his guardian. From this record, it is inferred that Joel Cannon was a son of Benjamin Cannon and likely brother of Bartlett Cannon. It is also possible that Joel Cannon was named after an uncle by the same name licving in Caswell Co. In 1830, Bartlett Cannon is residing in Monroe Co., Tennessee. In 1840, Bartlett Cannon is residing in Hamilton Co., Tennessee. In 1850 Bartlett Cannon is residing in Hamilton Co., Tennesse with his wife Jane and John Cannon. Census Records Bartlett Cannon is listed in the 1850 census for Hamilton Co. TN. He is 81 years old and states that he was born in Virginia. His household includes his wife Jane and John Cannon. Jane is 80 and was born in Virginia. John is 44 and was born in Tennesee. Bartlett had real estate valued at $800. 1850 Census, District 27, Hamilton, Tennessee, Roll: M432_881, Page: 460. Taken 25 Oct. 1850. | Cannon, Bartlett (I1778)
|
| 611 | On 22 July 1811, Joel Canon deeded property to both William Cannon and Reuben Cannon. William Cannon received 100 acres at Hogan’s Creek. (Deed Book Q, pg. 276-77). Reuben received 86 acres at Hogan’s Creek adjacent William Cannon (Deed Book Q, pg. 277). Reuben Kannon was bondsman on the marriage bond between Daniel Scott and Dorcas Cannon dated 21 Dec. 1811 in Caswell Co., NC. In 1830 Census, Reuben Kennon is living in Caswell Co., NC. He lists one male under 5, one male 5 - 50, one male 10-15, one male 15-20, one male 40-50, two females 5-10, and one female 30-40. Roll: 119, p. 294. In 1840 Census, Reubin is living in Caswell Co., NC. He lists two males 15-20, one male 20-30, one male 50-60, one female 10-15, one female 15-20 and one female 40-50. Reubin gives his age as 45 in the 1850 Caswell Co., NC census and states that he was born in Caswell Co. (page 256) . His stated age must be incorrect, since Reubin purchased land in 1811 from his uncle Joel Kennon and had one son who was at least 15 in 1830. Assuming that Reuben was at least 21 when he purchased land, his date of birth would be before 1790. This is consistent with the 1830 and 1840 censuses. After Reubin’s death, his wife Hannah and children filed a petition for dower in the estate of Reuben Kennon. The petition for dower was filed in the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions during the January term 1858 and identifies his heirs. They are William, Abel, Joseph B., Thirza Bowman, and Jane Dill. | Kennon, Reuben (I1216)

| 624 | On February 7, 1705, Paul Carrington was one of twenty-two "gentlemen residing in England who had estates in Barbados" whose petition was presented to the Council of Trade and Plantations defending the actions of Governor Bevil Granville against the complaints of a "very few unquieted spirits that have but small estates". He married (1st) on May 10, 1687, Thomazin Waterland, only child of William and Margaret (Hodgkinson) Waterland of St. Phillip's Parish, in St. Michael's Parish, Barbados. She was baptized on May 3, 1673 in St. Phillip's Parish, Barbados. This marriage was later annulled, and much confusion continues to exist concerning the parentage and legitimacy of his children. There is strong evidence that adultery by both parties was the reason for the annullment of the marriage. Records indicate that Thomazin had five illigitimate children by Richard Perryman, a married planter, of Christ Church Parish, Barbados; John, William or Paul, Mary, Rachel, and Francis. John and William or Paul were both baptized as sons of Dr. Paul and Thomazine Carrington. A deed has been located dated September 30, 1704 in which Richard Perryman sold Thomazine four acres of land in Christ Church Parish, Barbados "in consideration of the the love and affection which I bear unto Thomazin Carrington". Mentioned in the deed as heirs to the property were Thomazine's sons, John and William, and her daughters Mary and Rachel. Francis, the fifth child of this relationship, was baptized the son of Richard Perryman a year later. The will of Richard Perryman provides supporting evidence. The above are not the only children whose parentage has been questioned. Recently an eminent Barbados historian posited the theory that Dr. Paul Carrington had three daughters, Elizabeth Carrington, Ann Carrington (Mayo), and Mary Carrington (Milward) by an unidentified woman. His argument that the children could not have been Thomazine's because of thier ages is based upon the collation of approximate birthdates from baptismal registers and census reports. These three girls were raised by Dr. Paul after the annullment of his marriage to Thomazine. They were not the children of Paul's second wife, Hennington Codrington, since they are referred to as daughters-in-law (step daughters) in her will. In that time period, step children were commonly referred to as children-in-law. In 1701 a petition of Dr. Paul Carrington was presented to the Barbados House of Assembly, but was held over for consideration until the next session. This petition is no longer available, but since his first child, Nathaniel, by Hennington (Codrington) Carrington was born in 1702, it is probably that the petition referred to his marital problems. Four years later, in a unique event for the times, the marriage was dissolved by the Assembly. An act to make null and void the marriage of Paul Carrington, Chirugeon (surgeon?), and Thomazin, his wife, was dated August 13, 1706. Dr. Paul Carrington married (2nd) Hennington Codrington. No record of this marriage has been found. The first three children by this relationship, and born prior to the annullment were illigitimate, but were never considered as such. She is referred to as Paul's wife on November 23rd, 1707, so probably they married by this date. The will of Dr. Paul Carrington of St. Phillips Parish, Barbados was dated February 21, 1714, and was probated on October 7, 1724. The testator of this will left Barbados eight years before, and "has not been heard of since". Therefore, by common opinion, he is supposed perished at sea. Mentioned in this will were his wife, Henningham Codrington Carrington, and twelve children; his daughters, Sarah, Elizabeth, Ann, Mary, and Hannah, and his sons, Nathaniel, Paul, Codrington and John and his twin Robert, George, Joseph, and Edward. | Carrington, Paul (I2218)

The article further states that Joseph Pace moved to Goochland County in 1739, indicating that Mary (Pace) Wright was probably born in either Middlesex County or Goochland County.

John Fredrick Dorman, Adventurers of Purse and Person, 1607-1624/25, Vol I., (Baltimore, 2004), pp. 736. He is first mentioned in the will of his father Nicolas Perkins dated 13 June 1711. Henrico Co. Wills, 1710-1714, p. 184. He received land between Springey Branch and Abraham Childers line and was directed to pay 5 pounds stirling to Elizabeth Childers, daughter of Philemon’s brother Nicolas. This land adjoined that of his brother Abraham Perkins. Other neighbors were John Woodson, Robert Blaws, John Redford, Philemon Childers, Thomas Bethel, Abraham Childers, and John Simcock By 1746, many of Philemon’s realtives had moved to Goochland Co. Following his family, Philemon perkins sold his land in Henrico Co and moved to Goochland Co. On Nov. 21, 1746, Philemon Perkins sold for 47 pounds the 130 acres bounded by Springey Branch which he had inherited from his father to Francis Redford. The deed describes both parties as being of the parish and County of Henrico and states that the grantor reserved "10 feet square where the said Phillemon Perkins Child is buried." The land adjoined that of John Frayser and Robert Scott and was the land the said Philemon Perkins then lived on. The deed was witnessed by William Finney, John Cox, and Charles Ballow. At a court held for Henrico County the first Monday in April 1747, Philemon Perkins acknowledged his deed to Francis Redford and his wife Obedience relinquished her right of dower. Henrico Co. Records 1744-1748, p. 248.

The land adjoined that of Richard Cocke, Abraham Purkins, John Curd, and David Walker. The Deed was witnessed by John McBride, John Woodall, and Richard Moor. Philemon Perkins died in 1769. In the Goochland Order Book for April, 1769, it is recorded that "Obedience Perkins comes into Court and makes oath that Philemon Perkins deceased died without any Will as far as she knows or believes and on her motion Certificate is granted her for obtaining Letters of Administration thereof in due form."

| 637 | Philip Vass came to Halifax Co., Va from Person Co., NC. This is shown by a deed dated 1805 (Deed Book C, page 557). Note that Philip Vass owned the land in the extreme northeast corner of Person Co. One step north from his property was in Halifax Co., VA, one step east was in Granville Co., NC. Others Vasses also appear in the records alongside Philip. They are Vincent Vass, Caty Vass, and Thomas Vass. It can be proven that Vincent Vass and Caty Vass are siblings. I believe it likely that Thomas Vass also is a sibling. The Vincent Vass mentioned here is the one who drew a Rev. War pension. Although the Caty Vass mentioned in the records is his sister, he also had a wife named Caty. There is a Person Co. marriage bond for a Vincent Vass, Jr. and Caty Chambers dated 20 Jan. 1798. Vincent's widow, Caty, applied for a widows pension after her husbands death in 1850. In her application she stated that before marriage she was Caty Chambers and that she married Vincent Vass Feb 5, 1797 in Person Co., NC. The bond date above came from a secondary source and the year appears to have been copied incorrectly. In any case, the pension application of Caty Vass proves that the Vincent Vass in Person Co. was the Rev. War pensioner. In his pension application, Vincent Vass makes statements concerning two brothers. (see post 143 on the vass genforum). He said that one brother, the only brother with the same mother and father, signed up with the regiment lead by Captain Bluford and was cut to pieces by British Light Horse. (Note! Captains command companies, not regiments. I believe this is a reference to the Waxhaw massacre of the 3rd Virginia Regiment lead by Col. Abraham Buford.) He also mentions that after he was paroled he went home through Granville Co., NC the place he stayed being owned by his half-brother Philip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From RW pension application of Vincent Vass, 3 Sept. 1837, Tipton Co., & widow's pension application, 1851 & 1855: Vincent VASS b 2 June 1755 Essex Co., VA, d 7 Jan 1850, Tipton, TN, m 20 Jan 1798 Person Co., NC, Caty CHAMBERS.
