Winders and Windor's
Winders and Windor's
On 2 August 1727 at Richmond Co., Virginia, was recorded in the court records "Joseph Bragg is appointed surveyor of the highways for this ensuing year from Rappahannock Bridge to Colls Carter's Mill and from the upper bridge by John Metcalfe's Mill into Westmoreland County and from the main road by Leonard Dozier's to Duke Beckwith's Mill and from the said road by John ___ plantation to Pantill run and from Michael Windor's ___ field along the Howling road to Lisson's Landing and ordered that he forewith clear all the said roads according to law.
See Omohundro Millpond, which is, I think, nearby.
"1730 Dec 27 Richmond County. Articles of Agreement between Marmaduke
BECKWITH and John MOZINGO. MOZINGO leased BECKWITH’s water grist mill
on Pantico Run with a small house and two acres on each side of the mill
for seven years."
Warwick CAMMOCK appears in numerous Virginia records over the next ten years, but "mysteriously" disappears after 28 Feb 1679/80 when "Warwick CAMMOCK and Bethridge (her mark) HENSLE make a sworn statement concerning Mr. Fran: DOUGHTY delivering a cow to Adam WOFENDALE for the use of Thom: WINDOR.

Fauntleroy, Red Gate, Robert Owen & New Harmony
Robert Henry Fauntleroy (1806-1849)
In 1827, Robert Henry Fauntleroy moved from Virginia to New Harmony, Indiana. There he married Jane Dale Owen, one of the five children of social reformer Robert Owen, who had purchased the town in 1825. As an engineer, Fauntleroy was awarded patents for two inventions...
The name Fauntleroy is well known in modern New Harmony, and The Old Fauntleroy Home is visited by hundreds tourists each year...
Unfortunately, some New Harmony histories have given misleading genealogical accounts. These can be corrected by reference to The Fauntleroy Family, privately published by Robert Harrison Fauntleroy in 1952.
Joseph Fauntleroy, son of Griffin Murdock Fauntleroy and Anne Belfield, was born in 1784 and died in 1832. He inherited from his father the 500 acre plantation in Richmond County [Virginia] called "Mars Hill" in 1794, and in 1810 he sold it to Peter Northen, and moved to Clarke Co. [then Frederick Co.]. In 1811 he married his first cousin, Emily Carter Fauntleroy, daughter of Joseph Fauntleroy and Elizabeth Fouchee Fauntleroy, of "Greenville," Clarke County. In 1827 he sold his property in Clarke County, freed his slaves, and went to New Harmony, Indiana... He took with him his wife and their eight children and two of his freed Negro slaves, and they were accompanied by four of Emily Carter Fauntleroy's brothers, [including] Robert Henry Fauntleroy.
Robert Henry Fauntleroy was born in 1806 at Greenville, the son of Joseph Fauntleroy (1754-1815) and his cousin, Elizabeth Fouchee Fauntleroy (1772-1824). His father (son of William Fauntleroy and Margaret Murcock) was a different Joseph from the one who moved to New Harmony. The first Greenville dwelling was built in 1795 by Robert's father. At present, on or near the site of the Greenville house is a later historic house called Red Gate: "Today the lovely painted white brick home is nestled in old boxwoods and has an expanisve panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Clarke County farmland." - from Annals of Clarke County, Virginia, v. 1, by Stuart E. Brown, Jr., 1983.
The wedding of Robert Henry Fauntleroy and Jane Dale Owen, on March 23, 1835, can be compared to that Robert Dale Owen, Jane's older brother. Both weddings took place at home in New Harmony and were not registered in official Posey County records. The earlier wedding has been described elsewhere, and R. D. Owen's defiant statement on his wedding day perhaps speaks also for his sister's wedding three years later. (A note written by Ellinor Fauntleroy Davidson, in the Davidson Papers, Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, may be the only record of the location of her parents' wedding as New Harmony.)

BINNS VS SIBYL BECKWITH (M6818) 1828
On 1 January 1820 BINNS wanted to hire a Negro woman. He met with Jennings BECKWITH who was the son of Sibyl and it was decided that the slave woman Alcey would be the one to go to work for BINNS. BECKWITH assured BINNS that the woman was sound and healthy and not pregnant. A price of $30.00 was set. Her hire was good until 25 December of that year. Soon afterward it was discovered that Alcey was preg. And was soon unfit for labor. BINNS complained to BECKWITH who basically said too bad and indicated that BINNS would have to support Alcey and pay the midwife's fee.

BLEAK HALL, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VA
[1831] Daniel resided at "Bleak Hall", on the South side of Mattox Creek, containing 1000 acres, which he bought before his father's death. He owned a great deal of land, as is indicated by the following deeds. The writer (Brooke Payne) has been told
by old residents in Westmoreland that Daniel Payne used to remark that he could walk from the Potomac to the Rappahannock without setting foot off his own property. His father left him the Glebe (Church Point) and also 535 acres near Leedstown
originally owned by Richard Payne and purchased 1795 by said John Payne from his brother William Payne. 1818 Daniel Payne bought "Laurel Grove" from Alexander Morson, who had it from Bushrod Washington; this estate adjoined Bleak Hall. 1831 he
purchased from Mrs. Mary Lee 185 acres on Mattox Creek adjacent to Bleak Hall and Laurel Grove. 1832 he bought Locust Farm and Oak Grove, 4000 acres on Mattox Creek. In the same year he and Henry T. Garnett bought from John Gray three tracts,
including "Wakefield", the birth-place of General Washington, and an island in Pope's Creek. Mr. Gray had purchased Wakefield in 1813 from George Corbin Washington, who reserved a plot 60 by 60 feet around the site of the house, and another
plot 20 by 20 feet around the tomb. 1835 Mr. Garnett sold to Daniel Payne for $8250 his share in Wakefield. Following Daniel Payne's death, his executors sold Wakefield to John E. Wilson.
