47. Parkinson, Joseph Christian: Born by 1799, married 25 Jan 1842 Ann Elizabeth Quarles in Richmond in Henrico County and he died 20 Dec 1845. In the 1820 US Census, there were three heads of household of Joseph Parkinson, one in Chesterfield, one in Isle of Wight and one in New Kent County. The one of the three that was residing in New Kent County, is probably not the one buried in St John’s churchyard. This Kent County one served in the rank of Private from 28 Jun to 13 Jul in Williamsburg in Capt Seaton W. Crump’s Company of the 52d VA Militia Regiment from New Kent County commanded by Lt Col John H Christian. Specifics of this one’s 1812 service may be found in his war records in Box 159, record 1790 at the National Archives. Sources of unit service: Rolls of Companies in the Auditor’s Office, Richmond, VA printed 1852, Muster rolls, pg 256; Butler, S.L., “A Guide to VA Militia Units in the War of 1812”, pg 150.
48. Plantie, John: Born in France, by 1799 as a child was born 25 Feb 1820, married Martha ___ by 1819 and he died 20 May 1820. No 1812 service found.

52. Reeve, Henry T.: Born about 1794 in Long Island, NY, removed as a merchant from Smithtown, Long Island in 1811, died 10 Apr 1821, age 27. No 1812 service found in NY or VA.

54. Ritchie, George: Born in Fifeshire, Scotland 9 Apr 1792 and married Mary ___ and died 30 Oct 1835. No 1812 service found.
55. Safford, Robert: Born about 1790 and died 6 Jul 1817, age 27. No 1812 service found
56. Sanxay, Richard: Born about 1794 and died 18 Dec 1868. 1812 service not found.
57. Sawyer, John: Born in Edinburgh, Scotland 20 Jun 1799 and died 30 Sep 1832. No 1812 service found.
58. Schreer, Jacob: Born about 1786, died 16 Oct 1826. 1812 service not found.
59. Sheppard, Samuel: Born about 1762 in Boston, MA. He was auditor of public accounts in Richmond, and died 21 Sep 1815 at age 53. His Rev War service is not found in MA or VA. He was generally too old for 1812 service and would likely not serve as a Private. A person of this name, however, was a Private in Capt Turner’s Company the 19th Regt in Richmond City, but this is considered to be probably his son or nephew. More vital record research is needed and also there is a need to obtain his 1812 records in box 187, record 23031 at the National Archives to determine if it is indeed his service.
60. Stratton, Louis: Born about 1794, VA and died 27 Feb 1822, age 28. ---No 1812 service found.
61. Sydnor, Ellett: Birth date not determined and may have been born after 1799. He died 14 Jun 1846. No 1812 service found.
62. Walker, Joshua: No birth date, thus perhaps not born by 1799. He married Martha Ann Palmer in Henrico Co, VA on 13 May 1833. He died 4 Feb 1848. No 1812 service found.
63. Wardlaw, William: Born about 1776, and married Sarah____, who was born about 1776 and died 1808. He was a doctor and a druggist in Richmond and died 12 Oct 1829. No 1812 service found.
64. Williamson, George: Born about 1775 and died 6 Sep 1823 at age 48. His gravestone was erected by his unnamed widow and the inscription indicates they had a son John. Three local men by this name were heads of a household in the 1810 US Census, two from Henrico County and one from Richmond city, and in the 1820 Census all three were in Richmond city. The Richmond Enquirer & Whig lists three deaths for this name, none of which is identical to that inscribed on the gravestone. One is for a Capt who died in Powhatan (near Richmond) on 9 Apr 1824, another for a Capt who died in Richmond, 2 Jan 1835 and another is a man who died in Richmond, 16 Jul 1833. The “Family Visitor” newspaper lists another as “Mr. George Williamson, late of New York, 13 Sep 1823”. This date is only one week off from the date on the gravestone. A marriage to Lucy Parker on 21 Dec 1803 in Richmond city is probably for one of the three in the 1810 census. No 1812 service for this name is found for the 19th Militia Regiment from Richmond city or for the 33rd Regiment from Henrico County nor for the 23rd Regiment for Chesterfield County, however service is found for individuals of this name from Petersburg. The National Archives card index indicates only one George Williamson having 1812 service in NY and that is roll 228, record 1028. Perhaps this is for him. A person of this name was head of a household in the 1800 US Census in NY and three in the 1810 census there. More research is deemed necessary to indicate the buried individual had 1812 service in VA or NY.
65. Willey, Erastus: Born about 1791, and married Hannah ____, who died 12 Mar 1822 at age 24. He was a doctor, and was in the 1820 US Census in Richmond, and died 24 Feb 1839. No 1812 service found
66. Van Lew, John: No birth date, but since he was head of household in 1820, 1830 and 1840 census in Richmond, he had to be born by 1798. He died 14 Sep 1843. No 1812 service found.
