Christian Waldrop

Name: Christian (WALDROP) Sex: F Birth: ABT 1714 in VA Death: ABT 1775 in Laurens Co., SC _UID: 6B9CEE6FA3685B4D9B8E9E53C255E4DB0791 Note:

• ********* All information about Christian, other than her first name is speculative. There are more than a dozen deeds recorded in Granville Co., NC between 1754 and 1765 that mention Trevillian and Waldrop in the same document. So, they were neighbors. James Trevillian and wife, Christian was mentioned in one of the documents. Two women with the same given name in the neighborhood do not mother and daughter make.-

It is strongly suspected that the wife of Luke Waldrop was Christian Trevillian. There is circumstancial evidence of this, but to date no actual proof.-CW

• ********* Trevillian Deeds...Granville Co., NC. The 1761 deed that mentions James Trevillian's wife, Christian is the source of the assumption that the Christian married to Luke was a Trevillian. In the state census of North Carolina, 1784-1787 pub. by Mrs. Alvaretta K. Register there are no Trevillians or Waldrops listed as living in Granville Co., NC or any other county in NC. This book does NOT cover Rutherford Co., NC.

• ********* Donald Wayne Waldrop did some searching for a Trevillian father for Christian...and came up empty handed for proof. Samuel Travilian, as his surname is found, was married in Charles Parish, York Co., VA. in 1667 to Mary Rookesby b. about 1645, the daughter of Anthony Rookesby and Elizabeth ________? [His Inventory is supposed to be extant from 1673 -- "VA. Wills and Administrations", pg. 447 by Torrence. His issue - Sarah Trevillian b. 5 Oct 1670 Charles Parish, York Co., VA. Married Samuel Tompkins b. 13 Mar 1658. Marriage was 1694 York Co., VA. Sarah died 6 Jan 1718 Charles Parish, York Co., VA. "VA. History", pg. 250 by Bell. Elizabeth Trevillian b. 3 Mar 1667 Charles Parish, York Co., VA. Died 2 Sep 1671 [too young to have issue] Argell died 1697 without issue according to one record. Another record names Argal as having been buried 18 Jan 1686 Charles Parish, York Co., "VA. History", p. 250 by Bell. I believe the proper spelling would be Argyle. If Samuel is the ancestor of Christian Trevillian, assuming these records are correct, there would have to be a male child of this marriage unrecorded. Needing Further Research - "Colonial Granville Co., NC. and Its People" p. 232 by Worth S. Ray St. Peter's Parish, Kent Co., VA. Marriage records. Thomas Travillian m. Jane Henderson and moved from Hanover Co., VA to Pacolet, SC. Jane Henderson was the daughter of Thomas Henderson and Sarah Wilkinson.

Brumfield, Rt. 7, Box 87, Yadkinville, NC. 27055, p. 172 states, "Thomas Henderson was the immigrant from Dumfires, Scotland to Jamestown, VA. about 1612 and settled in Williamsburg.

"Cavaliers and Pioneers", Vol. 2 p. 380 by Nugent - John Trevillian [Headright of Robert Couch of Gloster Co., VA 29 April 1693 "VA History", page 188, by Bell, Samuel Trevillian b. 18 May 1696 son of John and Jane, Charles Parish, York Co., VA; John Trevillian b. 8 Aug 1694, son of John and Jane; Elizabeth Trevillian b. 16 Dec 1697 daughter of John and Jane Samuel Trevillian d. 25 May 1696 son of John Charles Parish, York Co., VA; Elizabeth Trevillian d. 2 Sep 1671 daughter of Samuel; Elizabeth Trevillian d. 15 Feb 1692 wife of John.

  • ******** Note from HLW --- The establishment of Trevillians VA. 1880, formerly Trevillians Depot from 1840 was formerly Newark before that time. Waldrop VA. was established 1888. It is interesting to note that these locations were, if one follows the evolution of counties in VA on the approximate location of Michael Waldrop II grants in Kent Co.,VA. Though I have not researched them myself, The Society of Friends records can be found in a book called "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, V. 6, Ann Arbor, Mich. 1950 by William Wade Hinshaw. This book contains records of Henrico, Cedar Creek and Camp Creek which were in Louisa and names many of its residents. Louisa Co., VA. was formed from Hanover Co., ca. 1742.
