Notes:

Willoughby Jones first found in Prince William Co. VA in 1752. The county was formed 22 years earlier, but no Jones records are found during that time period. It is not known where the family moved from. However, Mrs Hammer, youngest daughter of John and Jemima Gaunt indicate they were of Scotch descent and came to the valley from Orange Co. VA and had lived in PA for a time.
{from James Forsyth, Albany, GA}.

No record of this family was found in Orange Co. VA. John Reedy searched Nov, 2012.

Willoughby Jones never shows up as a land owner, with the exception of the correspondence 14 years after his death, showing that he was due a deed from the John Madden property of 200 acres in Frederick Co. VA. This land was then passed on to his first son, Thomas in 1779. Willoughby had died in Frederick Co. in 1765. He was last in Prince William Co. in 1761.

(This property would be the same as in the following entry: 1750, 22 Mar - surveyor: George Washington, Esquire for John Madden 200 acres near Dry Marsh (Thomas Jones of Fred Co, eldest son & heir of Willoughby Jones, deceased, assignee of the Madden's 200 acres near the Dry Marsh, surveyed 22 Mar 1750 for John Madden, deceased, by George Washington, Esq, forfeited, adj Fairfax Rd said John Madden 13 Jan 1779. - Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, Vols 1-4, Grant Book R, p 82)

?? b 1726 in Richmond Co -- connection w/ Newton Family, ie. a Willoughby Newton


There was a Willoughby Jones listed in Head of Families Virginia 1785, Princess Anne County - shows 3 souls, 1 dwelling, 0 other buildings

also
Willoughby Berry, 6 souls, 2 dwellings, 2 other buildings
Willoughby Thomas, 8 souls, 1 dwelling, 2 other buildings

perhaps a clue? Name connection in study of Helm family. Also connection with Barbados - as was John* Jones family from Barbados. They are far from documented as our ancestors, but looking only at the puzzle pieces...


PRELIMINARY CONKWRIGHT MANUSCRIPT REVIEW
A review of the Conkwright Manuscript ("Shenandoah Families" by Bessie Taul Conkwright) was furnished by Susan Grimshaw

Susan wrote: "My initial observations on Conkwright are as follows:
By page numbers in Conkwright,
P145.... mentions Sarah Wooley Vaughan (According to Vere Olivers writings - the Vaughans, the Popes, Alleynes, Willoughbys, Clintons and Walkers were all related through marriage). Also mentions John Calmes Smith (Smiths were on Barbados).And, the Calmes tie into the Va. Helm family story by marriage. Willoughby, the Gov., was from Shropshire.

Research Notes:
"James Foreman had come to the area by 1750 when he purchased 800 acres from John Jones on 15 August 1750. On 15 May 1780 James sold this tract of land to his son Benjamin Foreman who established a mill along Jones Mill Stream. The 800-acre tract was in the Scrabble area of Berkeley County.
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=18cf&id=I332

Mills of Berkeley (Opequon Creek)
Morgan Bryant had a mill on his plantation in 1734 when the land was surveyed for him. This is the Bedington Mill today. The third was north of Scrabble on Jones Mill stream. It, too, was there when the land was surveyed in 1734.

Opequon Creek had five mills north of Martinsburg. The first mill was almost at the mouth of the Opequon Creek. It was the Forman Mill, which is listed on the John Wood Berkeley County 1820 map. The Formans also had a ferry on the Potomac River. James Forman operated the mill until he died in 1834. It was then sold to Charles Starbuck. When the new Dam No. 5 was built across the Potomac near Honeywood in 1835, it raised the Opequon Creek to a height that prevented the Forman Mill from operating. According to John P. Kearfott's 1847 map, D. Morrison had a mill there, but on the opposite side of the Opequon Creek.
