John was his first son who left Virginia a young man and settled in the

Is this the same John Echols who sold his land in Amelia Co., VA in 1749 but was taxed on land in Beaufort Co., NC as early as 1742? Is there a copy of his 1750 Will available?
ReplyDeleteThis was posted on my blog in 2013. I have tried to contact Steve but all messages are ignored. He has also posted this to Ancestry.com's Echols Message Board but even there he never replies to anyone . He says to contact him but gives no contact details.
ReplyDeleteI have apparently deleted the original message so here it is again.

From the very beginning of your post: "John was his first son who left Virginia a young man and settled in the lower part of N. Carolina and raised his family, of whom I know nothing." If this is the same John that died in Beaufort County, North Carolina - then I have a ton of information for you. The name changed spellings as of the 1790 Census to "Equils."
My Dad (also Steve Equils, but b. 1955 - d. 2010) went through much of the old courthouse records in Washington, Hyde, and Beaufort Co. and compiled several books. He grew up there and had a wealth of oral history. I've been away from the genealogy for a while, but I will dig into it again this winter. To answer *boxmommy* - I don't have anything to verify that. I hope that it is the same man, but I don't have any actual documentation to validate it. What I do have, however is a fairly decent family tree (with a 30 year gap in the early 1800s) from 1790 onward.
ReplyDeleteTerry - I sent you an email.
Can you give me any information about Ann Wadell Echols 1698-1749 married George Marchbanks 1695-1740 in 1722 Amelia, New Kent, Colony of Virginia?
ReplyDeleteDo you have any information about the daughter of John Echols, 1650-1712 and Mary Cave, 1661-1712/52. She is Ann Wadell Echols, 1698-1749 married to George Marchbanks, 1695-1740?
ReplyDeleteMarriage was 1722 in Amelia, New Kent, Colony of Virginia. Is there another site with info about them?
Thank you,
Joan
I do not have a RSS Reader on my computer and can not log in to this posting. My husband's grandmother was a Marchbanks and is tied into the Echols line. Can someone send me any information they may have about Ann Wadell Echols 1698-1749 through my email? skeeterandme1958@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhy is there "Reply Delete" following my question? Are my questions not acceptable?
ReplyDeleteYou can reply to or delete your own posts but not anyone else's. I'm the only one that can delete anyone's.
DeleteI have been away for genealogy for a while and will look at your other questions soon and get back to you.
On the Ancestry.com website my family tree shows my 7th great-grandfather being James Echols (1695-1750) being married to Rebecca Bookers with an "s". It doesn't show any dates for her and the only child listed is an Edward Echols Sr. died 1758. Could John actually be James?
