CLAVEL, CLAVILL, CLAVILLE, CLAYVILL, CLAYVILLE, CLAYWELL -
Trying to put family tree together for my family from Chincoteague, Accomack County,VA. I'm back to 1820 to James Clavill, born circa 1820 in Accomack, VA, married to Mary (Unknown). Can't pinpoint his father since censuses at that time only listed name of "head of household". I've found a George Clavill in 1820 census with a male son under 10 yrs of age. Also found a Peter Clavel, born in Accomack abt 1680 and died in Worcester, MD 1745, married Lucretia. He maybe the early beginning for all Clavels, Clayvills, etc. Land records show he lived west of Parksley, VA while in Accomack Cty. My window of lost information lies between Peter Clavel 1680 and James Clavill 1820. Doesn't help since the name has been mispelled over the centuries. Any help deeply appreciated. Thanking you now...Bob C

BOYD, MITCHELL, ROBERTS, RUSSELL, TRIGG, WILEY -
Russell fam are from my mother,'s maternal side I know that Ruell Russell and Priscilla Boyd, Russell are my gggrt. And that their son, my ggrt. Andrew Wilson Russell, moved to Clay co. Mo Liberty With his family and married widow Anna Wiley, Trigg. and had their children there. I have all that. But I am looking for their dau. Josephine,'s mother-in-law's fam. Mother-in-law is Mazilla Russell b. Oct. 1824 in Va(?WVa)
The last thing I have of her is the head count done here in IL Crawford Co. in the twp of Oblong. And I also know she died before the 1900 census for that county. and that her husb. Cyrus Mitchell wasn't there he was living with thier youngest son (my ggrt) Geo. Washington Mitchell and wife (Josephine Mildred Russell) in Richland co. in the twp of Olney until 1903 when all 3 of them moved to Coles co. in the twp of Mattoon, IL. where Cyrus, Josephine died and Geo remarried and died in 1934 in Crawford co. and buried with his wife and dau and grandau and his father and my mother. But nothing was mentioned of Mazilla died before Cyrus or anything of Mazilla. by the Mattoon Gazzett or Mattoon Journal. Or any local papers where she was living.
So you see I have nothing of her before dec.1845
The Roberts fam. is my husband,'s mother,'s paternal side; this is what I have . James E. Roberts b. 1835 Va his mother is Susannah born 1877 Va his father?? b.//Va He married Sarah? they had James W. 1864, John 1866, Charles Winston july 13,1868 (grandfather of my husb.) They went to Ky and in the Adair co.census by 1880 where Charles was about to be 2. They lived in Gradysville, Leatherwood prect. I have all the up to date info. but nothing before 1880. I dont know if John James and Charles were born in Ky,Va,N.C. as was said in the 1910 census in Adair co.Ky. I know James E. died before 1900 in Adair ?? and his mother also.

ANDERSON, ASTON, BUTLER, COLEMAN, HILL, JOHNSON, PULPRESS -
Richard G Coleman 1841 in E.VA died 1894 in Carnegie PA; Eliza Jane Coleman 1838 in VA died in Carnegie PA 1881, I was told that Eliza was Indian,
Their other children were: Susan Ann, Richard jr, George, Lilley, Ellen, Howard, Katie, John, Sarah.
They all lived in Carnegie when it was called Mansfield Boro before 1894, When the name was changed to Carnegie Pa.
I can not seem to find anything else out about them. I know that Eliza and Richard Both were Born in VA and came to PA but it is unknown to me what his fathers name was Or where his father lived. And the same for Eliza Jane.
Can You give me some tips to locate The Coleman's of VA. There were other names in the bible Johnson from VA, Anderson from VA, Pulpress, Hill, and as I stated above Aston.
My search started when I realized My grand dads real name was Coleman and not Butler as we go by to this day. Thank you
My family is Mulatto and Black
