FLUVANNA COUN I"Y AND ITS
PEOPLE.
Some Notes by Rpp. B. L. Ancell,
M. A., D. D.
The Winn Family of Fluvanna.
The numerous Winnr, whose names
adorn the Fluvanna records are all
descendants of John Winn of Han-
over, through three of his sons who
acquired land in Fluvanna. These
three sons were:
1. Hezekiah Winn.
2. John Winn, Jr.
3. Thomas Winn.
Their father, sometimes borne as
Capt. John Winn, appears frequently
in the records of St. Paul's Parish,
Hanover. He died about 1798, inter-
state, leaving a considerable estate
including property in Goochland coun
ty; widow Mary, probably nee Pled-
ger, and several children, whose
names are obtained from a paper
Iravn up and signed by Chief Justic.
John Marshall, concerning the distri-
bution of the estate of the said John
Winn. (That paper was long in the
possession of the late Dr. John F.
Winn, of Fluvanna and Richmond; it
was lent to a relative who died before
it has been returned, and has not
;ince been recovered. I have person-
illy seen it, and copied the names of
^he children. B. L. A.) Of the three
ions represented in Fluvanna, the
>ldest was probably:
1. Hezekiah Winn. He married
dhristjanna Bowles, daughter o'
Thomas Bowles of Hanover county
md they had the following children:
4. John Bowles Winn. He married
'is cousin No. 20, Frances Winn, an i
he youngest of their three children
vas born about 1820. In 1821, one
T. B. Winn, of Virginia, on behalf o'
he Colonization Society sailed from
Norfolk in the Brig ' Nautilus" fo;
Freetown, Africa, and died there (Me-
Master EV.-567). The probability that
it was this J. B. Winn is supported
iy the fact that within a year or two
ifter this, his wife was a widow and
residing in Albemarle, where she
narried again.
5. Minor Wi'nn: Fved in Fluvanna,
married Elizabeth Gardner Anderson,
laughter of Rev. George Anderson
and his wife Susan Mimms. Issue
below.
6. Thomas Winn, Jr., (his uncle.
No. 3. Thomas Winn being sr.) Be-
fore 1811 he removed to Kentucky,
vhere he died in 1862. He married
n IS 11 In Woodford county Maria
3ull Cooke daughter of John Cooke
md his second wife Catherine Bur-
on Mourse. Issue below.
2. John Winn jr. had before the
formation of the county purchased
"50 acres of land on Bremo Creek; he
oerhaps never resided there himself,
is he died in Hanover county. He
was born December 23, 1751; married
July 8, 1773, Mary Bowles of Han-
over. Fortunately an old Bible re-
mains in which are recorded the
names of their children, as follows:

He married first Anne Ellis, bone
Henrico county dated December 17,
1796; mother Susanna Ellis gives con-

Virginia; and by this marriage had
seven more children. He was for
many years Clerk of Dover Baptist

Fluvanna Cdunty
And Its People
Some Notes by Rev. B. L. Ancell
M A., D. P.
THE PAYNE FAMILY
From the earliest years of Gooch-
land county, George Payne was a
prominent citizen. As early as 1729
he was a justice of the peace, later
becoming sheriff, and holding office
in the military organization of the
county. He married Mary Woodson,
daughter of Robert Woodson, of
Henrico county, and his wife, Eliza-
beth Ferris. From George Payne
and Mary Woodson are descended
most of the Paynes who resided ear-
ly in Goochland and adjoining coun-
ties, and have since spread through-
out the length and breadth of the
United States.
Among their four sons was George
Payne, Jr., who also held the office
of sheriff of Goochland county. He
married Judith Burton. They had
several children, among them was
ROBERT BURTON PAYNE, the
progenitor of most of the Paynes
of Fluvanna. In 1784 he inherited
from his father a large tract of land
on Cunningham Creek in Fluvanna,
which his father had purchased a
short time before. He was born
about 1751; married in Goochland,
December 22, 1773, Margaret Syd-
enham Morton, born April 30, 1756,
died May 23, 1840. She was daugh-
ter of Joseph Morton, of James City
county; son of John Morton, of
Westmoreland county, and wife,
Mary Mountjoy (daughter of Alvin
Mountjoy and his wife, Mary Lane).
Joseph Morton married twice; his
second wife, the mother of Robert
Burton Payne's wife, was Margaret
Beckwith, daughter of Sir Marma-
duke Beckwith, of Richmond county,
immigrant; he was a son of Sir
Roger Beckwith, of Aldborough,
Yorkshire, England, and [lis wife,
Elizabeth Jennings, who was a sis-
ter of Edmund Jennings, famous in
Virginia history. Sir Marmaduke
Beckwith married Eliza Brocken-
brought, daughter of William Brock-
enbrough, of Richmond county,

! wife, Constance Massie (daugh-
ter of Colonel Nathaniel Massie and

death J. Fred. Miller married (sec-
ond) Louisa Guerrant and had other

(3) Mary Elizabeth Armistead.
c. George Payne Holman, M. D.,
of Spring Garden, near Bremo Bluff,
which plantation was deeded to him
by his parents on December 30, 1837,
by which time he was presumably of
age. Hie married Martha Finch
Scruggs, of Buckingham county, and
had, with perhaps others, (1) Susan
Brockenbrough Holman, married
Captain Joseph M. Gardner, and had
issue; (2) a daughter, who married
a Mr. Myers and lived in West Vir-
ginia, among whose children* was
George Holman Myers, who married
Eliza S. Ficklin, daughter of James
Bruce Ficklin and wife, Augusta S.
Pannill; (3) William Henry Holman,

and later judge of Fluvanna county
court. He married (first)
Gait, and (second) Anne Harrison
Gait, both being daughters of Wil-
liam Gait, of Fluvanna, and his wife,
Mary Bell Taylor, of Richmond. By
his second marriage he had several
children. Mrs. Holman resides at
the old Holman home at Bremo Bluff.
Few men ever passed through life
more beloved by his friends, or more
universally respected, than Judge
Holman.

der the Tilman-Moon family sketch.
Dr. Ancell writes: "To my great re-
gret, my wallet of Payne family ge-
nealogy got into a parcel sent to Shan-
ghai, and my efforts to get it back
so far have been vain. So I must give
up the Paynes for awhile, but will take
them up again later on I hope."
THE OMOHUNDRO FAMILY OF
FLUVANNA COUNTY, VA.
(Dr. Ancell will be very glad if those
of Omohundro descent will send him
whatever material they can to be used
in the separation of a book on this
family's history. He wants dates, full
names, places of residence, etc. His
address is: 20 Minghong Road, Shang-
hai, China, better postage, 5c. — Ed.)
Richard Omohundro settled in Flu-
vanna (then Albemarle) county be-
fore the Revolutionary War (v. D. B.
6:426, and other records). His large
family was the presage of an almost
innumerable progeny that has sprung
from him; a progeny that has spread
widely and has through a century
and a half maintained certain well-
marked characteristics, both physical
and temperamental. They have been
people of character, good citizens.
This first Richard of Fluvanna
served as an ensign (a commissioned
officer) in the Revolution, and was
later sheriff of the county. His home
was about a mile and a half north
of Bremo Bluff, between the
branches of the creek (called Spring
Garden Creek) that enters James
River a few hundred yards east of
the Bremo station. His wife was
Elizabeth Muse, and I have been told
by one of her granddaughters that
she was from Northumberland coun-
ty, Va. Mr. Malvern H. Omohundro,
who has been interested in tracing
the family, thinks that Richard came
from Westmoreland county, where
there has been since very early Co-
lonial times a line of Richard Omo-
hundros, "of the forest of Nominie."
By the middle of the eighteenth cen-
tury a branch of that family had
NMnd to Northumberland county,
mad I suggest that he also, as well
a* Ms wife, came from that county.
Tfcie «aaid probably be ascertained.
Both Richard and his wife are buried
*t the old home place, but without
tombstones. They had, with others
who died young, the following-named
nine children, whose order of birth,
however, is not certain. For the
sons, I follow approximately the or-
der of their marriages.
1. John Omohundro. He settled
in the northern part of Fluvanna,
near Bybee's Cross Roads, and ac-
cumulated a considerable estate; as
did indeed all the brothers. He mar-
ried in Louisa county, February 26,
1795 (Louisa county records), Nan-
cy Crank. Her parentage could no
doubt be easily found in the Louisa
records. His will is recorded in Flu-
vanna county, Will Book 5, page
124. A list of his children will be
given below. He died May 28, 1845,
and his wife survived till April 9,
1861.
2. William Muse Omohundro, born
August 5, 1775, died November 22,
1846. He married February 20,
1799, Martha Creasy (all this' from
his family Bible). They resided for
a time in Fluvanna county, and then
removed to Ohio. List of children
will be given below.
3. Richard Omohundro, married
Edith Seay. He purchased and re-
sided on the fine plantation known
as Gale Hill, on the road about two
miles west of Columbia, which was
sold after the Civil War to a Mr.
Siegfried. The burying ground there
contains the graveg of him, his wife,
and a number of their children, and
his tombstone shows that he was
born April 5, 1777, died January 18,
1860. His wife w: born January
6, 1777, and died August 14, 1856.
4. Thomas Washington Omohun-
dro, who inherited the home place,
and was prominent in the commun-
ity, served as ensign in the Fluvanna
militia, and in 1812 was promoted
to be captain. He married May 24,
1806, Polly Cowell, daughter of Wil-
liam and Mildred (Henley) Cowell,
of Albemarle and Fluvanna counties.'
(William Cowell's will — see Fluvan-
na Will Book 2:164, will dated
1812, mentions his daughter Polly,
wife of Thomas W. Omohundro,)
List of children below.
5. Allen Cocke Omohundro, mar-
ried Miss Boatwright of Buckingham
county, named by one of his nieces
as Eliza Ann, but appears in a toun-
ty record as Jane. They resided for
some time in Buckingham, across the
river from Scottsville. List of chil-
dren below.

corded. He married Mary D. Turner,

January 22, 1765 (see Woolling
Bible), probably eldest child, mar-
ried in Fluvanna on October 15,
1789, Joseph Woolling, only child of
William Woolling. A deed describes
him as "of Hanover county," and the
vestry book of St. Paul's Parish
shows that he (William Woolling)
had land processioned there in 1760.
William Woolling married Elizabeth
Stone, daughter of William Stone
and his wife, Frances Taylor, daugh-
ter of James Taylor, of New Kent
county, long clerk of St. Peter's
Parish. Joseph Woolling and his
family resided on Bremo Creek, in

from James River. List of children

I McCallister, born 1824, daughter of
Peter and Ann Holm.
The will of Colonel Matthew
Mountjoy Payne, named above, is of

acies: "My brother Jonathan S.
Payne . . . his son George Alvin
Payne and his daughters ... his

Mr. Campbell . . . My niece Louise

18. William Payne, born June 1.
1764.
%19. Fleming Payne, bora June 26
1766. I am informed that he appear.'

20. Charles Fleming Pavne, boi™
January 8, 1768. He married Polly
Adams, daughter of Thomas Adams'
bond Goochland January 12, 1788.

Barnett are said to have had:
22. Ann Pavne, married Januar"
22, 1803. Gideon Pillow: they were
rarents of Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, C
S. A., and others. But if this An-
Pavne was really the daughter o'"
Josias and his second wife, then sir
was married when she was hardly y
twelve years of age. I think thi r
record is a part of the confusion tha'
exists about the Josias Payne of
Goochland and he of Nashville: r
confus'on mentioned above.
4. John Payne and Mary Coles had
23. John Coles Pavne. A record i-
the Va. Historical Magazine state -
that he married a Mis- Wilcox o'
Canada and removed to Kentucky

Todd and wife Elizabeth Richards.
Judge Todd had a distinguished
career in the legal profession. He
died in Frankfort February 7, 1826,
on the very day that he had been ap-
pointed an Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court.
26. Mary Payne, married in 1801
Hon. John G. Jackson, of Clarksburg,
Va., (now West Va.), an eminent law-

Virginia.
27. Anne Payne, married in 1804

thor of the Life of Dolly Madison

Fluvanna County
And Its People
Some Notes by Rev. B. L. Ancell, M.
A., D. D. — Another Branch of
the Payne Family
William Payne, son of Josias Payne,
"the elder," and his wife, Ann Flem-
ing, was born February 10, 1732, Old
Style, so was just one day older than
General Washington As another dis-
tinction, he was the uncle of "Dolly"
Madison, and was first cousin to Rob-
ert Burton Payne, with whom my pre-
vious Payne sketch began. He died
March 2, 1S12. His father, who had
removed from Goochland to Pittsyl-
vania County, devised to him, with
other property, a tract of 400 acres in
Fluvanna, on which he took up his
residence and became prominent in
the community and rather wealthy.
He married twice (so family records).
First, on March 6, 1755, Mary Barrett,
born January 15, 1737, and second,
(about 1766, Susanna Thompson, daugh-
ter of George Thompson and grand-
daughter of Joseph Thompson, the
first sheriff of Albemarle County, of
whom a sketch has already been
given. From three different sources
have come to information about his
ichildren, and the list as worked out
runs as follows: By his first wife:
1. Ann Payne, born September 18,
1759, married 12th February, 1795,
James Richardson. Issue list below:
2. Sarah Payne, born iSeptember 18,
1760, married 9th June, 1796, Meri-
wether Smith, son of William Smith,
of Louisa County (who was son of
Thomas Ballard Smith, of Louisa, and
wife Ann Meriwether). They re-
moved before 1803 to Tennessee. Is-
sue named below:
' 3. James Payne, born April 2, 1762,
died March 20, 1835. He was an of-
ficer in the War of 1812, and later
Colonel of the Fluvanna Militia. He
represented his county in the Legis-
lature for several years. He married
October 3, 17S4, Frances Dix, daugh-
ter of John and Kerenhappuch Dix, of
Pittsylvania County. Issue named be-
low:
By his second wife, Susanna Thomp-
son, he is said to have had:
4. Susanna Payne, born January 24,
1768, married before May, 1796,
Thomas Norris Clark, an immigrant
from Scotland. They removed to
Kingston, Tennessee, where he en-
gaged in mercantile business. He
became one of the prominent men of
the State, an intimate friend of An-
drew Jackson; had a large farm and
many slaves. Issue named below:
5. A daughter, name illegible, born
December 19, 1772.
6. Elizabeth Payne, born November
9, 1775, married in Fluvanna Febru-
ary 21, 1799, George Richardson. Is-
sue named below:
7. Barrett Goodloe Payne, born De-
cember 23, 1778, died in 1853; repre-
sented Fluvanna in the State Legis-
lature and was called "Colonel." He
married March 24, 1808, Lucy Rich-
ardson, who died 18 November, 1821,
aged 43, leaving four children (so her
obituary notice). One of his children
was William B. Payne, who once rep-
resented Fluvanna in the Legislature,
but I have not been able to learn the
names of the others.
8. William Payne, born March IS,
1782. (One William Payne married in
iFlnvanna November 2, 1819, Maria C.
Allegree, who may have been this
William).
The foregoing list of William
Payne's children has been compiled
from several sources, but I suspect it
to have errors. First, I think the date
of birth of the daughter Sarah (Sally)
to be inaccurate. Also, I think he had
a son William, older than the one dat-
ed as born in March, 1782; in fact,
this 17S2 William may have been a
grandson. In 1790, the first William
of this sketch was mentioned as Wil-
liam Payne, Sr., which term would
hardly have been applied if the "ju-
nior" was only eight years old. This
could all probably be determined
from county records-
Grandchildren of William Payne:
1. Ann Payne and James Richard-
son had (family Bible for dates of
| birth):
a. Polly Barrett Richardson, born
December 7, 1797, married Samuel

And Its People
Some Notes by Rev. B. L. Ancell,
M. A., D. D.
THE GEORGE ANDERSON
FAMILY
The George Anderson of this
sketch had settled in Albemarle be-
fore the formation of Fluvanna, and
his residence was a mile or so south-
west of Bethel Church, where Mr.
Joseph Underhill lives now. The
record of his purchase was among
those destroyed in Albemarle in
1 1781, so the county of his original
residence is not found recorded. But
there are at least two' lines of evi-
dence to indicate that he was from
Louisa county. He married before
1750 Frances Woodson, daughter of
Benjamin Woodson (will 1777) and
hise wife, Frances, born "Napier,
daughter of Captain Robert Napier
and his wife, Mary Perrin. (Captain
Robert Napier was a son of the im-
migrant, Dr. Patrick Napier, and his
wife, Elizabeth Booth, daughter of
Robert Booth, clerk of York county,
and member of the House of Bur-
gesses. Mary Perrin was daughter
of Richard Perrin, of Henrico coun-
ty, and his wife, Katherine Royall,
daughter of Joseph Royall and wife,
Katherine Banks.)
The records of the settlement of
George Anderson's estate begin in
1806; though there are allusions to
"legacies," I was unable to find a
copy of any will. Of his children,
[the records show seven, as follows:
I 1. George Anderson, Jr., who be-
came a Baptist minister. He resided
in Fluvanna; married March 23,
1769, Susan Mims, daughter of
David Mims (or Mimms), of Gooch-
land. She survived him. His will,
dated November, 1810, was probated
December, 1811. List of children
|below.
2. Benjamin Anderson: First lieu-
tenant in the Revolution, and prob-
ably held some county office, as he
is called "gent" in the records. He
married (first) Judith Mimms, sis-
ter of his brother's wife; bond
Goochland dated January 26, 1769.
He married (second) Sarah Johnson,
daughter of David Johnson, of
Louisa county; bond Louisa, dated
November 3, 1773. 1 give below a
list of his children by his first wife.
The Louisa records might show those
by his second wife, as he lived later
in life in Louisa.
3. Nathaniel Anderson, married
Mary Mayo, daughter of James and
Martha (Williamson) Mayo; bond
Fluvanna, November 13, 1783. I
am told that they early left the
county, and where they lived is not
now known.
4. Frances Anderson, married one
John Duncan. In 1806 they re
their share of her father's estate.
I hould like to have information
about their children.
5. Susanna Anderson, born Sep-
tember 22, 1758. No further record.
6. Elizabeth Dabney Anderson,
born July 4, 1760 or 1761 (not
clear), married Thomas Winn, bond
dated June 6, 1780, accompanied by
a letter of consent from her father.
They have many descendants, who
will appear in a sketch of the Winn
family that will follow later.
7. Molly Anderson, married Jo-
seph Bunch, probably of Louisa
county. In 1791 Joseph and Mary
W. Bunch sell 391 acres of land in
Fluvanna, and they probably left the
county. Information about their
children is desired.

above) and his wife, Susan Mimms,
|had:
' 8. George Anderson, of Fluvanna,
married (first) Joanna Garrett, bond
'dated February 17, 1799; married

Smith. Issue by both, listed below.

William North. No children.

ried before 1810 Minor Winn.

est child, was born before 1773. She

children.

died June 18, 1862, married January
12, 1795, Captain Richard Beckwith
Payne, of Fluvanna, son of Robert
Rnrton Payne, of Goochland, and

Some Notes by Rev. B. L. Ancell,
M. A., D. D.
WILLIAM BUGG'S ^AMILY
William Bugg, resident in Fluvan-
na in 1782 with a family of seven
whites and two blacks, made will
dated October 13, 1796, pr. Febru-
ary 1, 179S. In his will are men-
tioned the following:
Wife Susanna. (She is twice re-
ferred to as "my living wife," so
was probably not his first wife.)
Son Sherwood Bugg. (He in 1777
witnessed a will, so was presumably
of age; was still resident in Fluvan-
na in 1815.)
Daughter Elizabeth W. Creasy.
(She had a son, William Woodson
Creasy, who married July 27, 1796,
Elizabeth Thomas, daughter of
John.)
Daughter Susanna Shores, and her
daughters, Alley and Lucy. ( She was
wife of Thomas Shores. The daugh-
ter Alley married April 28, 1802,
Daniel Stone, and Lucy married
Richard Perkins.)
Son William C. Bugg, and his
daughter Ann A. Bugg. (Records
show that Win. C. Bugg had a daugh-
ter, Nancy P. Bugg, who married
December 20, 1802, William Kidd.)
Daughter Ann Pettice (Pettus),
and her daughter Rebecca. (Ann
Bugg married John Pettus, August
4, 1795; probably his second wife,
as he had a daughter married in
1802.)
Son Woodson Bugg. (He mar-
ried Rebecca Henley; bond January
14, 1785.)
Daughter Mary A. Starkes, and
her daughter Nancy Starke.
Daughter Martha W. Hendley, and
her son William Hendley. (Martha
Woodson Bugg married January 11,
1792, Thomas O. Henley.)
Daughter Sarah A. Bugg. (Sarah
Allen Bugg married March 22, 1798,
Joshua Jones.)
Witnesses to above will: John Na-
pier, Reuben Herndon, Jane S. Na-
pier, Charlotte Napier and Dolley
Napier.
In a sketch of the Shores family,
recently printed, the marriage of Su-
sanna Bugg to Thomas Shores, the
elder, was suggested. It appears
from the above that she was the
wife of the Thomas Shores who died
in 1841, and that she had died and
he married a second wife, Elizabeth,
who survived him. The marriage
records at Palmyra might be exam-
ined for this second marriage.
OTHER BUGG ITEMS
Samuel S. Buggs of Fluvanna and
wife, Delilah, had a son, Wilson N.
Bugg, born 1835, married in Rich-
mond June 14, 1859, Virginia A. Al-
len. I desire information about this
Samuel Bugg and his children.
One Samuel Bugg, living in 1750,
had, with perhaps others:
Son, Samuel Bugg.
Son, John Bugg, died in Cumber-
land County, 1750, where he had a
plantation of 393 acres. He left a
wife, Susanna, and four sons, John,
Benjamin, Jesse, and Sherwood. How
were they related to the Fluvanna
Buggs?
Benjamin Seay married shortly
before or after 1825 Polly Bugg.
Who were her parents?
