PARSONS -
Isham Parsonswas born in 1796 somewhere in Virginia, likely in the area that is now West Virginia. His parents were likely John and Patty Parsons. His siblings, Henry, Saley, Betsy, and Joseph, born between 1797 and 1802 were also likely born in Virginia. Does anyone have any idea on where these individuals may have been born in Virginia. There are a lot of Parsons in Jackson County, West Virginia, but I can't find any documentation.

BEVERLEY, BEVERLY, THORNHILL, WOODROOF, WOODRUFFE -
Looking for anyone with information that would help me link my Kentucky BEVERLY line to Virginia Beverlys. To the best of my knowledge, there is no direct linkage of my line to the Robert BEVERLEY line of Beverly Manor, nor can I find any linkage to the BEVERLY line who went to NC, or the infamous John Beverly of the battle of Kings Mountain. My earliest proven ancestor is Stephen Beverly, b. 1781-2 in Virginia, was in Montgomery County, KY in 1799 & 1800, then married a Lucy THORNHILL went to Harrison County, KY, ending up in Grant County, KY where he lived until his death in 1852. I have good reason to believe his mother was named Naomi ?, and his father possibly a John Beverly who lived in Lincoln County, KY and died ca 1795-6. Naomi married second in 1800 in Montgomery County, KY to a David Woodroof/ Woodruffe. I am looking for any Beverly/ Beverley, perhaps a John Beverly who married a Naomi, in Virginia. Marriage was probably ca 1775-1780. There is a John Beverly in Hampshire County, VA (now WVa) on the 1782 and 1784 Tax Lists w/ five free whites and no slaves in his household. I have long suspected he may be the John who came to Lincoln County as did other pioneers of Hampshire and Hardy Counties, but I've found nothing to connect these two. So, I'm asking if anyone has anything that might refer to a John Beverly/Beverley (or any Beverly) marrying someone named Naomi, when it took place, and what county in Virginia they lived. Also, anyone who may know what happened to the John Beverly/Beverley in Hampshire County, VA after 1784.
