Note	Research Notes:"There is no clue as to whom John Hampton ‎(John II)‎ married, nor is there any information as to the children that he may have had other than John III. The name of John Hampton was linked with that of Jacob Hampton concerning several deeds in 1777. Jacob deeded land to John, and Leah witnessed the deed. He deeded land to James Shelton, and John Hampton and Leah witnessed the deed. Another deed executed in October 1778 by Jacob, involved the same persons. It is thought that Jacob may have been the brother of John III. No further information has been found about Jacob. Leah evidently was not the wife of either Jacob or John. In November 1778, she petitioned the court for financial assistance. She said she was unable to support herself, as she had two sons in the service of the United States ‎(the Revolutionary War)‎. The court allowed her £10 ‎(ten pounds)‎." Tidewater Virginia Families, p. 332. The 'William & Mary Quarterly' says: "The court ordered that the following amounts be placed in the hands of Thomas Lomax, Gent., for the relief of the following:... "Leah Hampton £10 whose son is in the service of the United States..." ‎("Some Colonial and Revolutionary Soldiers as Shown by the Order Books of Caroline County, Virginia." [abt 1777]‎) "Virginians in the Revolution" p. 343 lists: "‎(Hampton, Leah, mother of two soldiers in Continental Service from Caroline)‎" "We went to every county in Virginia that had Hampton's and copied all the deeds, wills, marriages, etc. that we could find. ‎[The 'We' are Robin Taylor and Anne Millsaps.]‎ We descend from John Hampton II son Thomas. He settled in Pittsylvania Co. VA and Surry County, NC. His son Henry stayed on the land in Surry. The Collins Hampton in Surry County was a brother of Jacob Hampton. There were many other brothers and sisters of Jacob Hampton. Turner and Rubin were brothers of Thomas Hampton who married Abigail Laws. From: millsapsa@skybest.com ‎(25 Feb 2007)‎

Note	NB: From Doug Turner - You and others show Mary dying in Fauquier Co. She had no will but her inventory and estate sale were in Montgomery Co TN. Is there proof that she died in Fauquier Co? Could she have been visiting there? All of her family were living inMontgomery Co TN at the time. Any info on Mary Nugent Ballard and her mother and father and where they were from? Jane Vernon Hampton b 1 Mar 1791, d 13 Sept 1811---death date that you have is incorrect. She died in Montgomery Co TN Polly Hampton‎(aka Mary G Hampton)‎ died in Montgomery Co TN the same day and within an hour of her sister Jane Vernon Hampton above.
