HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

  • Genealogy of the MALLORYS of VIRGINIA
    Genealogy of the MALLORYS OF VIRGINIA The Connecticut Historical Society Hartford 1955 Printed by Case, Lockwood & Brainard Division of Connecticut Printers, Inc. IN MEMORY OF BRIGADIER GENERAL AND MRS. JOHN S. MALLORY FOREWORD This genealogy is affectionately dedicated to my Father and Mother. My purpose in bringing it up-to-date is to record for family use the brief biographies 'and ancient lineage of the Virginia branch of the Mallory family of Yorkshire. It is my hope that by publishing the record in one volume, it will prove relatively easy to read and that the youth of the family in future generations will be inspired and guided by the great heritage which is theirs. That heritage does not consist of the accumulation of great wealth or worldly possessions, but is one of a high standard of values of the way of life. A reading of the record will show that duty, honor and self-sacrificing service to a cause believed to be right are among the ingredients of their heritage. The portion of the genealogy that carries through to the 21st generation was pub­ lished in various volumes of The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography issued between October 1905 and January 1908. It has been my privilege to bring up-to-date some of the data relating to the 20th generation and to do my best to complete the information through later generations to the present time from personal source records. The Connecticut Historical Society has very generously offered to have the genealogy published as a public service and has been most helpful in its compilation through its advice and counsel.

Composed 1912 for the Retail Merchants Association by Lyon G. Tyler, M. A., LL. D., and now published in pamphlet form by the Board of Supervisors of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, November, 1922. FOREWORD Dear old Hampton, with its colonial, Eevolutionary, 1812, and Civil War memories, has endured and survived much. We of the present Hampton, we who love this old place either because it is our home by inheritance or adop- tion must carry on and remember that we are its guardians and makers and that the Hampton of the future will be the sort of place we are making it today. With a deep and abiding love for the place of his birth and a keen interest in her welfare the first steps were taken by Hunter E. Booker, youngest son of Major and Mrs. George Booker, of Sherwood estate, now Langley Field, Elizabeth City County, who brought to the attention of his fellow towns and countrymen his wish that a history of Hampton be compiled as a matter of civic concern.
