1. Re: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Interracial marriages-- late 1700s [1]
Janet, Anti-miscegenation laws were passed in VA in 1705 and reiterated in 1748 and 1753. Penalties of jail and fines were written into law in 1792, including fines for the clergy who married them. So yes, in 1800, it would have been illegal for a white man to marry a woman with any degree of African-American blood.

6. [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Cumberland Safety Com, ALSO Powhatan's [1]
I should have mentioned that Powhatan County was split off of Cumberland in 1777, so a significant number of the individuals mentioned in my previous posts on the Cumberland County Committee on Safety soon after lived in Powhatan Co, including William Fleming and John Mayo who represented Cumberland in the House of Burgesses and at all of the Virginia Constituional Conventions (four I think) beginning in 1776. I have the information I posted saved as a Word Document. If any of you missed the earlier

10. Re: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Deed language -- "late of" a given location [1]
The VA and AL courts very early ruled that as to deeds, such as that mentioned in the inquiry, and in other legal instruments of that same sort, "late of" and "lately" ALSO meant, "Existing recently, but now dead."

11. Re: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] "Guardianship" - Age Limit??? [1]
I have a copy of a land abstract from the Henrico County area from 1655 talking about the orphans of William Coxe, who now held his land. I questioned the mention of "orphans" since all four children were adults, married and had their own off-spring. There mother was also still alive, although she had remarried. I was told that the term "orphan" then meant any children, not just those underage. In the case you mention, the nephew might have had physical or mental disabilities that made the court feel he

16. [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Interracial marriages-- late 1700s [1]
Hello Everyone, I am having a hard time jogging my memory on the time period when it became legal in the state of Virginia for white men or women to marry spouses with varying amounts of African American blood. For example, would it have been legal in 1800 for a white man to have married a woman who had only 1/4 African-American heritage? Would it have been different if she were a slave or free? Thanks in advance, Janet Hunter

18. Re: [VA-SOUTHSIDE-L] Re:another name for Fannie (Frances) [1]
I believe another nickname for Frances is Franky. My 3g grandmother was Franky/Frankey MURRELL (wife of Thomas L. Williams). That is how she appears on census/will/tombstones. She died in Dade Co Missouri, born in Cocke Co TN. All three of her surviving (and procreating) children named a daughter Frankey. I have many reasons involving Crews, Childress, Hicks, Lewis that I won't bore you with now to believe that she was maybe/probably the great granddaughter of William Murrell d. 1777-1780 Lunen
