To the JENNINGS, KELLY, DONIPHAN/DONOVAN, RANSDELL, PARTRIDGE, HATTEN/HATTON,
TRUMAN, LAMKIN, COX, ASHTON, DEMOURVILLE, MOTT, PAYNE, EDRINGTON, TRAVIS,
COLCOUGH, WILSON, YOUNG, LAMKIN/LAMPKIN, COX lists regarding connecting
families in England to Virginia in the early to late 1600's:
I am writing regarding my ancestral information as follows and specifically
regarding the parents for Amy PARTRIDGE (DONIPHAN,) and her sisters, Sarah
PARTRIDGE (WILSON,) Mary PARTRIDGE (COLCOUGH,) and Elizabeth PARTRIDGE
(YOUNG.)
Specifically this is regarding the ancestry of my 6th great grandmother, Ann
KELLY, born: abt. 1696 in VA, (who married William JENNINGS, Jr.,) and Ann
KELLY's father was John KELLY, born: abt. 1660, died: 04 May 1715, (mother:
Penelope ?, father: Matthew KELLY, born: abt. 1640,) and Ann KELLY's
mother was Amy DONIPHAN, born: abt. 1662, died: 04 Feb 1729, (md. 2nd
husband, Edward RANSDELL.)
Amy DONIPHAN's parents were (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN, born: 1640 in
Plymouth, Devonshire, England, died: Feb 1717, and he was a merchant in
England and then in Westmoreland Co., VA, and his 1st wife, Aimee ?
(Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN's 2nd wife was Margaret MOTT and his 3rd wife
was Susannah ?
(The above mentioned husband of Ann KELLY who was William JENNINGS, Jr. was
born: bet. 1695 - 1700 in VA and died: 1732 in Richmond Co., VA, and he was
the son of Mary WILLOUGHBY, born: abt. 1670, (parents: ??,) and her
husband, William JENNINGS, Sr., born: abt. 1668 in VA, father: John
JENNINGS, born: abt. 1633 in England, immigrated to Old Rappahannock, VA,
and mother: Margaret PAYNE, (mother: (probably but not proven to be,)
Margrett ROBINSON, (father: Richard ROBINSON,) father: John PAYNE, born:
abt. 1615 in England, immigrated to Old Rappahannock, VA,) and Margaret
PAYNE's 2nd husband was Christopher EDRINGTON.
I had written the list asking if anyone had any other
information regarding the ancestry of (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN and his
1st wife, Aimee ? One individual wrote back saying that (President) Harry S.
TRUMAN was, also, descended from (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN.
I also found some more information on a couple of websites...just brief
entries regarding (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN being the ancestor of
(President) Harry S. TRUMAN and, also, (Colonel) William B. TRAVIS, (of Alamo
fame,) and I wrote the owner, John COLCOUGH, of one of the websites mainly
featuring COLCOUGH family information that mentioned very briefly regarding
(Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN's wife, Aimee/Amy, as being named either RIVETT
or PARTRIDGE and that she was the sister of a Mary whose surname was either
RIVETT or PARTRIDGE who married John COLCOUGH whose lands were built what is
now known as Quantico Marine Base. I wrote John COLCOUGH asking if he might
possibly have any additional information regarding Aimee/Amy ?, wife of
(Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN.
John COLCOUGH writes below in the forwarded email indicating that the wife
of (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN was, indeed, named Amy PARTRIDGE and that
she had sisters named (1.) Sarah PARTRIDGE, (md. Richard WILSON,) (2.) Mary
PARTRIDGE, (md. John COLCOUGH,) (3.) Elizabeth PARTRIDGE, (md. Mr. ? YOUNG.)
And Mr. COLCOUGH cites the source as researcher, Mary Lou RUTH, whose
documentation of the sisters' names comes from The Lord Mayor's Office in
London in a deposition of 1662.
Interestingly enough, there is another PARTRIDGE connection over on my
mother's side of the family. (The JENNINGS - KELLY - DONIPHAN - PARTRIDGE is
my father's side.) From my maternal grandmother's line I descend from LAMKIN
- COX - HATTEN/HATTON lineage.....from Jeremiah LAMKIN who was born abt. 1595
in Middlesex, England, died: 1660 in Surry Co., VA, and he was the father of
sons, Robert, William and Thomas LAMKIN who was born in abt. 1620 in
Northumberland Co., VA and married Elenor ? in abt. 1625 and their children
included their son, George LAMKIN, born: abt. 1650, died: abt. 1691, who
married Hannah COX, born: abt. 1652 in Westmoreland Co., VA, died: Sep 1744
and she married as her 2nd husband, Samuel DEMOURVILLE, (sp?,) and they had 4
children. Hannah COX is related somehow to Vincent COX, possibly a daughter
by a first marriage or a neice or such, and George LAMKIN and Hannah COX had
5 children. Of the 5 children of Hannah COX and George LAMKIN were Joseph,
Peter, James, John and George. I descend from James LAMKIN, born: abt.
1675/1680, DIED: 02 April 1736, also shown sometimes as John LAMKIN.....so
not sure where the confusion comes in yet....and the son, George LAMKIN, II,
born: abt. 1680, died: 1707, married Jane ASHTON who married as her 2nd
husband a man named Richard PARTRIDGE in 1728.
It is from James/John LAMKIN and wife, Jane LEWIS that it appears that my
Lewis LAMKIN who married Mary LEWIS, (daughter of Lewis LEWIS,) descends and
they were the parents of Mary LAMKIN who married Peter Lewis HATTEN and they
were the parents of Lewis Lamkin HATTEN who married Sarah "Sally" UNDERWOOD
and their son, William HATTEN, born: 1800 in Tar River, Nash Co., NC,
married Frances Lucretia "Patsy" LOTT, born: abt. 1802 in AL, daughter of
Absalom LOTT and Martha Jane Dorsey LIGHTFOOT, born: abt. 1763, father:
Philip LIGHTFOOT.
I am interested in finding out if the family of the above mentioned Richard
PARTRIDGE who married Jane ASHTON (LAMKIN) is the same as that of my above
mentioned 9th great grandmother, Amy/Aimee PARTRIDGE, who married (Captain)
Alexander DONIPHAN. And, of course, looking to find the names of the parents
of this Amy/Aimee PARTRIDGE.
Anyway, I am thrilled to have a name for Aimee/Amy now.....PARTRIDGE. And
we have our PARTRIDGE in a Pear Tree just in time for the Holidays as it came
in late on New Year's Day! <lol>
Looking forward to hearing from anyone with connecting information. Thanks.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Bellinda Myrick - Barnett

Mary

of 1662 stating that Sarah Partridge Wilson is wife of Richard Wilson,
sister of Amy

Dear Linda,
Hello. I greatly appreciated the information you sent a few weeks ago
regarding the ancestry of my 6th great grandmother, Ann KELLY, born: abt.
1696 in VA, who married William JENNINGS, Jr., whose father was John KELLY
and her mother was Amy DONIPHAN whose parents were (Captain) Alexander
DONIPHAN and his 1st wife, Aimee ?
I had written the list asking if anyone had any other
information regarding the ancestry of (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN and his
1st wife, Aimee ? One individual wrote back saying that (President) Harry S.
TRUMAN was, also, descended from (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN. I found some
more information on a couple of websites...just brief entries regarding
(Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN being the ancestor of (President) Harry S.
TRUMAN and, also, (Colonel) William B. TRAVIS, (of Alamo fame,) and I wrote
the owner, John COLCOUGH, of one of the websites mainly featuring COLCOUGH
family information that mentioned very briefly regarding (Captain) Alexander
DONIPHAN's wife, Aimee/Amy, as being named either RIVETT or PARTRIDGE and
that she was the sister of Mary RIVETT or PARTRIDGE who married John COLCOUGH
whose lands were built what is now known as Quantico Marine Base. I wrote
John COLCOUGH asking if he might possibly have any additional information
regarding Aimee/Amy ?, wife of (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN.
John COLCOUGH writes below in the forwarded email indicating that the wife of
(Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN was Amy PARTRIDGE and that she had sisters named
(1.) Sarah PARTRIDGE, (md. Richard WILSON,) (2.) Mary PARTRIDGE, (md. John
COLCOUGH,) (3.) Elizabeth PARTRIDGE, (md. Mr. ? YOUNG.) And cites the
source as Mary Lou RUTH whose documentation of their names comes from The
Lord Mayor's Office in London in a deposition of 1662.
Interestingly enough, in one of my other lines....trying to remember which
right offhand...which was back in early Virginia....one of my ancestors
married a PARTRIDGE after the 1st spouse, my ancestor, had died. I think it
is in my HATTEN/HATTON lineage.....or one of the surnames directly connecting
at that time. Perhaps the LAMKIN or COX. I will look through information
and get back with you if I find anything as there might be a connection to
Amy PARTRIDGE's family as so very many of my various lines that I have found
in Virginia in the 1600's - 1700's were related to each other then and prior
to coming to America.
Anyway, I am thrilled to have a name for Aimee/Amy now.....PARTRIDGE. And we
have our PARTRIDGE in a Pear Tree just in time for the Holidays as it came in
late on New Year's Day! <lol>
