Profiles Mentioned:

  • Portrait of a husband and wife passed down through the Stiteler family, still in the family. On the back of the photo frame, a hand-written statement says: "These ancestors were forced to leave France on account of religious beliefs. This picture is a photographic copy of the original painting was in the 17th century." The background of Abraham and Susanne Michaux - Stiteler Family is direct descendants.

WILL OF ABRAHAM MICHAUX : (Henrico County Book 1714-1718, page 187; in the Archives Department, State Library of Virginia

In the name of God Amen, I Abraham Michaux being born in the city of Cedent in France 1672, now of Virginia in County of Henrico being in a very Sick and weak Condition but of Sound and perfect mind and memory praise be given to Almighty God do ordain this my last will and Testament in manner and form as followeth that is say first and principally, I commend my Soule into the hands of Almighty God hoping through the merits death and passion of my Savior Jesus Christ to have full and free pardon and forgiveness of all my Sins and to inherit everlasting life, and my body I commit to the Earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and as touching the disposition of such temporal Estate as it hath pleased Almighty God to bestow upon me I give and dispose thereof as followeth, first I will that all my debts and funeral charges be paid and discharged.

Item, I give unto my son Jacob Michaux two hundred Acres of the tract of land I now live on to be laid off at the upper end thereof to have and to hold to him and his heirs forever.

Item, I give to my Son John Michaux one hundred Acres of the same tract of land joining to Jacob to have and to hold to him and his heirs forever.

Item, I give to my son Abraham Michaux one hundred Acres of the aforesaid tract of land joyning next to John to have and to hold to him and his heirs forever.

Item, I give to my loving wife Susanna the plantation on which I now live with one hundred Acres of land during her natural life and then to return to my son John Paul Michaux to him and to his heirs forever.

I give to my three eldest daughters Anne, Jane Magdalin and Susanna three hundred Acres of the aforesaid Land to be laid off at the lower end and equally divided between them to have and to hold to them and their heirs forever.

Item, I give to my Daughter Olive Judi the remaining part of the aforesaid land be the same more or less to be left on one side or other the aforesaid plantation to have and to hold to her and her heirs forever.

All the residue of my personall Estate Goods and Chattles whatsoever I do give and bequest to my loving Wife Susanna whom with my Son Jacob I appoint full and Sole Executors and Executor of this my last will and Testament and I leave my Executors in full power to sell the abovesaid plantation at Manakin Town and make undoubted rits in fee as witness my hand and seal this 13th day of May 1717.

The will of Abraham Michaux was recorded by order of Court on August 5, 1717. He was 45 years old.

Agnes Michaux, m. Richard Woodson (Will) is probably NOT a child of this couple-- see below, where it states: the Agnes Woodson who married Joseph Morton was the sister, not daughter, of Richard Woodson of “Poplar Hill”. There was no Agnes Michaux.

Some researchers believe there were TWO daughters named Anne:
"Two Annes
Please note that one daughter Anne was born in Amsterdam, 1693, probably their first child. She was called "Nannie" and never married. Ann Madeline Michaux was much younger and married Richard Woodson. They are NOT the same lady."
per researcher notes at FS:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/memories/LVDN-2VY
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/memories/LVDN-2VY
"As noted in the notes on Anne Michaux and Anne Madeline Michaux, These two Annes are sisters according to one source. The below only mention one Anne born in 1693 but others say the oldest and almost youngest were both named Anne. I have no way to confirm this one way or the other."

Ann and Ann Madlin

Ann "Nannie" born 1693 and baptized in Holland who must have died before her father made his will
vs Ann Madlin born in Virginia-- she is named as one of her father's three YOUNGEST daughters.
Two different children :)

The About has been amended for the children. I think they are complete.
Please check.
Thank you

Ann AND Annmadlin are mentioned in their father's will:

I give to my three eldest daughters Anne, Jane Magdalin and Susanna three hundred Acres of the aforesaid Land to be laid off at the lower end and equally divided between them to have and to hold to them and their heirs forever.

to my three youngest Daughters Elizabeth, Annmadlin and Ester Mary to them and their heirs forever.

But which one married Richard Woodson, Jr. for certain?

https://media.geni.com/p13/93/ae/7f/38/53444860bdc624ee/500px-micha... photo of daughter Agnes born 1738. So more than likely, mother is indeed Annmadlin/Anne Madeline born in Virginia and NOT Anne born 1693 in Holland.

All done.
THIS is the revised and complete list now:
(1) Ann "Nannie" Michaux
(2) Jane Magdalen LeGrand (Michaux), bp. 1697; m. Peter Le Grand.
(3) Isaac Michaux, bp 1699.
(4) Jaques "James" Michaux, bp 1700.
(5) Jacob Michaux, m. Judith Woodson.
(6) Susanne Quin (Michaux), m. John Quin.
(7) Jean "John" Michaux.
(8) Abraham Michaux, d. unm.
(9) Olive Judi Morgan (Michaux), m. Anthony Morgan.
(10) John Paul Michaux, m. Judith Wilmore.
(11) Elizabeth Woodson (Michaux), m. Sanburn Woodson.
(12) Ester Mary Cunningham (Michaux), m. Alexander Cunningham
(13) Annmadlin "Ann Madeline" Woodson (Michaux) b. April 1693; m. Richard Woodson

For many of them, their families still need added.
I look forward to meeting more new cousins down the line.
Thank you
