KING
In 1751 Daniel King of Hanover Co. bought land in Albemarle Co. On 14 May 1751, three days
later, Daniel sold part of the land to John King, of Hanover Co., possibly his brother.
This Albemarle land in 1777 wound up in Fluvanna Co. Other than this reference to Hanover
Co., I have found no further record of this family in Hanover. Would appreciate any info
that might come to light on Daniel or John pertaining to Hanover Co.

member in their genealogy, I would appreciate learning about the Hancock connection. Have

families. Any tidbit would be appreciated. Have been working to find his people for 25
years. Many records were lost due to the Civil War in the areas mentioned above.

HENDERSON / HENLEY / WASHER
I am a newbie in genealogy research, but have found two main families in 1700s of
Henderson. One stems from a Richard and Polly Washer and the other from Richard and
Henriette Henley. Both Richards have a father named Thomas. The Richard and Polly were
from Hanover County and the Richard and Henrietta were from Goochland and Cumberland
County. The 1830 Census has no or almost no Hendersons listed in these counties. The
members of these families moved to NC or SC, mainly NC. Does anyone know (1) when they
left VA (2) which children went to NC and which went to SC (3)Was there a Benjamin who
could be a grandchild of one of the Richards (4) What other Henderson families were there
in VA at this time. Any answers to these questions would be deeply appreciated. Thanks,

2/25/1766; m. 1787 to Priscilla Dendy of SC; died 4/25/1843. The family seems to have

HALL / BAKER
I am looking for descendants of George Marion Hall, b. 1828 d. Dec. 1, 1892. His parents
were William Hall b. 1788 and Louisa Baker, b. 1792 who were married on July 7, 1810.
George Marion Hall operated "the store" and (during the Civil War) the "bar
room" at Beaverdam, VA in West Hanover County. The store was sold in 1894 to Everett
Terrell who in turn ran the store until 1944 when he sold it to Vance Hall whose
grandmother was George Marion's sister. I am seeking decendants of George Marion because,
I am quite sure, his first wife, Cassity C. is buried behind "the store" in
Beaverdam and the grave is nearly, or by now possibly is, obliterated by a private
driveway around the store. The grave with a slate headstone sat very near the roadway in
the 40's and no one to my knowledge knew who was buried there. The slate headstone had
been broken and parts lost. The remaining pieces had some letters. It was in later years,
after I discovered the history of the store and the name of the owners wife, that I
deciphered the name on the headstone. There are undoubtly laws on the books in VA
regarding graves and the caring of cemetaries and graves. I do not know these laws but
suspect that any action would be best taken by decendants of the interred. Please get in
touch with me if you are or know anyone who may be a descendant of George Marion Hall. I
will be able to direct them to individuals who know the exact location of the grave.
