Dear COLEMAN, MASCALL/MASKILL, DISKINS, NORTON, WATSON, SULLIVAN, PARTRIDGE,
DONIPHAN, KELLY, JENNINGS, BAKER, WILLOUGHBY, PAYNE, ROBINSON, EDRINGTON,
WOOLF, DUNCAN, LAMKIN/LAMPKIN, and EARLE lists,

Re: 1600s families in Old Rappahannock/Richmond Counties, Virginia, (and
connecting to the COLEMAN of Mobjack Bay,) that were later, with my branch, in
the area of Spartanburg District/Old 96th District, South Carolina during the
Revolutionary War and then went into and settled the area that became
Christian/Caldwell Counties, Kentucky before they went through AL/MS Territory and into
areas of Covington County, MS and later Simpson Co., MS before in the 1920s
with my branch into West Carroll Parish, LA and then later some into Texas.

(This is a very lengthy email regarding lines that repeatedly connect over
the centuries. Some of these surnames may only have one brief mention of that
individual bearing that surname as that is all I have on them, so far, and
would be most grateful for any help regarding any of these individuals shown
below. But there are so very many overall connections between the majority of
these families that I fear missing something important so I am sending this to all
of these lists.

At the bottom of my information is some info on the Samuel BAKER and Susannah
LAMPKIN family that went into Kentucky with the (Rev.) Fielding WOOLF and
DUNCAN families that were married into my JENNINGS family that descends from many
of these surnames above and at the very end of this email from me I have
included information about this BAKER family in KY to see if anyone knows whether
they connect with the Lawrence BAKER mentioned herein who married Mrs.
Penelope "Nelly" NORTON KELLY, widow of Matthew KELLY, Sr.. And while there is not
much mention of the LAMKIN/LAMPKIN family group in this particular email; I
have other descent from LAMKIN/LAMPKIN through 1600s Northumberland County, VA
through George LAMKIN/LAMPKIN, (1st husband,) and wife, Hannah COX, (poss. d/o
Vincent COX,) who married 2nd husband, Dr. Samuel DEMOURVILLE, and from the
LAMKIN and COX I descend in my HATTEN/HATTON lineage also out of 1600s VA in
Jamestown and Norfolk County.)

My name is Bellinda MYRICK-BARNETT and I have recently found new information
for a possible 3rd line of COLEMAN descent, (while still trying to find
something on the 1st and 2nd to prove them with 1 being a connection between the
Rachael TUCKER that married Ripley COPELAND, Sr., (RS,) of NC & SC.)

Please continue reading and I look forward to hearing from you either on one
of the lists or directly at
In advance, I thank you for any assistance, as well as, if you should see any
glaring errors or have any additional information, please do not hesitate to
let me know.

Today I am, specifically, searching for information on newly revealed
information regarding my paternal 10th great grandparents who were Cornelius
S(W)IL(L)IVO/AN(T)/ aka SWEL(L)IVAN(T)/SULLIVAN who was an immigrant to Old
Rappahannock County, Virginia and many other spellings including OSHEELIVAN(T) and
his wife, ? COLEMAN, who was a sister of Margaret COLEMAN, (who married Daniel
DISKINS,) and they were the daughters of Margaret MASCELL/MASKILL and Richard
COLEMAN whom is, apparently, in some way related to Robert COLEMAN of Mobjack
Bay, VA.

Margaret S(W)I/UL(L)IVA/ON(T)/ aka OSHEELIVAN, apparently, married Patrick
NORTON, based on information from the will of her father, Cornelius
S(W)I/UL(L)IVA/ON(T)/ aka OSHEELIVAN, who left considerable amounts of land to Patrick
NORTON's son, Thomas NORTON, which would then go to Patrick upon Thomas' death.
And Patrick and Margaret also had a daughter named Penelope "Nelly" NORTON. I
don't think they had other children but not positive of that.

Penelope "Nelly" NORTON who married 1st husband, Matthew KELLY, Sr. from whom
I descend through their son, (Captain) John KELLY who married Amy DONIPHAN,
(daughter of (Captain) Alexander DONIPHAN, Sr. and his 1st wife, Aimee
PARTRIDGE, (sister of Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, and Samuel, (all immigrants but no info
yet on parents,) and DONIPHAN later married 2nd wife, Margaret MOTT and 3rd
wife, Susannah ?/SMITH?.) I am, also, interested in the parents of Lawrence
BAKER and whether he was previously married as well as children that he had with
that wife and, also, with Mrs. Penelope "Nelly" NORTON KELLY.
