Note |
Notebook: There is some belief that Collins was the son of John, b.1701, son of Thomas (see http://www.adkins9.net/individual.php?pid=I1728 ) The names of Collins children, as listed in the Will, but not in order of birth, are Stephen, Joshua, Henry, Anne, Rachael, Lucy, Sarah, Patsy "Martha", and Nancy. Stephen (ca. 1768) and Joshua (ca. 1772) were b orn in Patrick or Pittsylvania County, VA. Patsy "Martha" was born (ca. 1770), [County/State not shown]. The other children were born in Surry County, NC. From 'Hampton Family,' http://www.fmoran.com/hampt.html "...There couldn't be two Hampton's with name of Collins, surely. Margaret Wade had a son, Henry, who's referred to as Dr. Henry Hampton. I know no more about the (Dr.) than that butI've always believed Collins belonged to Margaret Wade's family..." From: wade hampton, wghamptonjr@webtv.net (29 May 2000) "...Briefly, Collins was the son of John, born about 1701, son of Thomas, son of John who married Mary Mann, son of Thomas, born 1623, son of William who emigrated 1620 on Bona Nova..." From: robinlt@airmail.net (6 Aug 2002) (Birth places seem incompatible - see http://www.adkins9.net/individual.php?pid=I1728 ) "...I have a couple of Micajahs in my lines but you need to provide more info. My records on Micajah have him as a sibling of Collins Hampton. Sons of John..." From: Harold, hakelley@att.net (31 Oct 2004) "...according to my database, Micajah is the son of Turner Hampton, who is the son of Jacob Hampton. Jacob seems to have been in VA and later in life migrated to Wilkes Co., NC. I believe Lorenzo had siblings who migrated to MO also." From: Lois, Waddham@aol.com (12 Apr 2004) (Dates don't match, this is the WRONG Micajah - See: http://www.adkins9.net/individual.php?pid=I2254 ) "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) |
