Agnes Stockton

AGNES (nee unknown) STOCKTON

Agnes Stockton was the wife of Richard Stockton Sr., a son of Davis Stockton (c1685-1761) of Albemarle County, Virginia. Although her maiden name is commonly shown by researchers as Anthony, there is no evidence that maiden name is correct. Her date of birth and date of death are unknown, but it appears she was born about 1715-1720, and died about 1780, probably in Henry County, Virginia.

There is an Agness Stockton shown on the 1778 Henry County, Virginia, Tax List, and an Agnes Stockton shown on the 1779 Henry County, Virginia, Tax List. Also shown on both of those tax lists are Thomas 3 (Richard 2, Davis 1) Stockton Sr., and Rev. Robert 3 (Richard 2, Davis 1) Stockton Sr. Living nearby in Franklin County was Richard 3 (Richard 2, Davis 1) Stockton Jr., and in Pittsylvania County was John 3 (Richard 3, Davis 1) Stockton. It appears that Agnes Stockton, the widow of Richard 2 Stockton, Sr., died in Henry County, Virginia.

Some researchers show Agnes Stockton as Agnes A. Stockton. It appears however, that either her mark on deeds was the letter "A" or the clerk showed her mark as the letter "A" in the deed book making her name appear to be Agnes A. Stockton. Richard Stockton's name is shown by some researchers as Richard R. Stockton, but again, it appears that his mark was the letter "R" or the clerk showed his mark as the letter "R" in the deed book making his name appear to be Richard R. Stockton.

Richard and Agnes were the parents of:

• Thomas Stockton Sr.
• John Stockton
• Rev. Robert Stockton
• David Stockton
• Richard Stockton Jr.
• Nancy (nee Stockton) Shields
• Margaret (nee Stockton) Pulliam
• Sarah (nee Stockton) Ross
• Winneford (nee Stockton) Randalls
• Mourning (nee Stockton) Wilkey
• Jemima (nee Stockton) Sharp
• Elizabeth (nee Stockton) Lockhart
• and Deborah (nee Stockton) McMahan

RICHARD STOCKTON, SR., OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA , by Jerry Stockton

Richard Stockton, a son of Davis Stockton, is first mentioned on 15 March 1741 in Goochland County, Virginia. "George the Second . . . in Consideration of the Sum of Forty Shillings of good and Lawful Money . . . do Give Grant and Confirm unto Davis Stockton One Certain Tract or Parcel of Land containing Four hundred Acres lying and being in the County of Goochland on both sides of Stockton's Branch of Mechum's River and bounded as followeth (to wit) Beginning at Richard Stockton's Corner . . . to a small Pine in Richard Stockton's line . . . unto said Davis Stockton . . . the Fifteenth Day of March One thousand seven hundred and forty one In the Fifteenth Year of our Reign . . . William Gooch."

By June of 1737 Richard Stockton's father, Davis Stockton (1685-1761), had settled in Goochland County, Virginia. "Davis Stockton's Line" is mentioned in a Virginia Land Office Patent to Michael Wood (Woods) dated 10 June 1737 "in Consideration of the Sum of Forty Shillings of good and lawful Money . . . do Give Grant and Confirm unto Michael Wood one certain Tract or Parcel of Land containing four hundred Acres lying and being in the County of Goochland on the heads of Ivy Creek on other Branches of the North River on the South Side of the North River and bounded as followeth (to wit) Beginning at a hiccory on Davis Stockton’s Line . . . crossing a Branch of the North River . . . to Pointers in Davis Stockton's Line . . . the Tenth Day June one thousand seven hundred and thirty seven In the Tenth Year of our Reign. William Gooch”

It is not known when or where Richard Stockton was born. It appears that he was probably born about 1710 England. It is also not known when or where his father Davis Stockton was born. All dates of birth for Davis Stockton and his children are only approximate. It appears that Davis Stockton and his children were probably born in England, however, no evidence of the Davis Stockton family has been found there. In the 1730's the Davis Stockton family settled in the Ivy Creek area of then Goochland County, Virginia. They might have also been on Mechum's River and its forks in the 1730's, however, they are not found there until 15 March 1741. The North Fork of Mechum's River is known as Stockton's Creek. To the south and a little up Mechum's River is Stockton's Mill Creek.

When Henrico Shire was created in 1634 it included the Ivy Creek and Mechum's River area. The name Henrico Shire was soon changed to Henrico County. In 1728 the Ivy Creek and Mechum's River area became part of Goochland County, and in 1744 it became part of the newly formed Albemarle County. From 1728 until 1744 the headwaters of Mechum's River, including Stockton's Branch of Mechum's River and Stockton's Mill Creek, were in St. James Parish, Goochland County, Virginia. After the formation of Albemarle County in 1744 this area was now in St. Anne's Parish, Albemarle County, Virginia. The northern area of Albemarle County was now in Fredericksville Parish and the southern area of Albemarle County was in St. Anne's Parish. In 1761 Amherst County was formed from the southern part of Albemarle County, however, Stockton's Branch of Mechum's River and Stockton's Mill Creek remained in St. Anne's Parish, Albemarle County. In 1807 the northern part of Amherst County became Nelson County.

On 28 April 1741 William Mayo surveyed 400 acres on Mechum's River for Richard Stockton. This property was part of Goochland County until September of 1744 when it became part of the newly formed Albemarle County, Virginia. William Mayo was the Goochland County Surveyor. When William Mayo died in 1744, Peter Jefferson, the father of Thomas Jefferson, became the new Goochland County Surveyor.

TINKLING SPRING, HEADWATER OF FREEDOM: A STUDY OF THE CHURCH AND HER PEOPLE, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954 Baptisms by Rev. John Craig, 1740-1749 At Joseph Kinked's [Kincaid's], east of Jarman's [Woods'] Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains, 21 June 1743: Baptized John and Thomas, sons of Agness Stocdon.

The Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church is located on the west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah Valley, Augusta County, Virginia. The Davis Stockton family lived on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains and east of Woods' Gap. Rev. John Craig of the Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church is known to have made at least three trips to the Ivy Creek area of Goochland (now Albemarle) County to perform baptisms. John and Thomas Stockton, sons of Richard and Agnes Stockton, were baptized "at Joseph Kinked's." In 1747 Joseph Kincaid is shown as a member of the Ivy Creek and Mountain Plain congregation of the Orthodox Reformed Presbyterian Church along with Davis Stockton and Richard Stockton.

"Albemarle Company of Militia, lately in actual service for the defence and protection of the frontier against the Indians, September, 1758. Hening's Statutes, VII, 203." Captain James Nevill, Samuel Stockton, William Stockton, Adam Gaudylock, William Whiteside, Henry Brenton and Michael Woods, Jr., were among the 56 men mentioned as members of the Albemarle Company of Militia in William Waller Hening's 1820 book. Samuel Stockton and William Stockton were brothers of Richard Stockton. Adam Goudelock (shown as Gaudylock) and William Whiteside were two of Richard Stockton's brothers-in-law. Adam Goudelock was married to Hannah Stockton, and William Whiteside was married to Elizabeth Stockton. Either Henry or Robert Brenton might have been a son-in-law of Davis Stockton. A 1773 record shows "Sarah Branton (late Sarah Stockton)." Michael Woods, Jr., was a neighbor of Davis Stockton.

AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA, COURT RECORDS, p. 133, 20 Nov 1761. On 20 Nov 1761, in Augusta County, Virginia, John McMahan and Richard Stockton supplied bail for Robert McMahan. It appears that Robert McMahan is the father of John McMahan. Richard Stockton's daughter Deborah was married to John McMahan. He is also shown on some records as John McMahon. In 1784 Deborah (nee Stockton) McMahan, by that time the widow of John McMahan, moved with Robert and Nancy (nee Stockton) Shields to what is now Sevier County, Tennessee. Deborah and Nancy's brother, Thomas Stockton, Sr., was already living in what is now Sevier County, Tennessee, when they moved there. Thomas Stockton, Sr., lived on the north side of the French Broad River, while Deborah, Nancy and Robert Shields located on the south side of the river.

Note: Although this transcription by Ruth and Sam Sparacio appears to show Richard Stockton's name as Richard "R" Stockton, it appears that the "R" is actually Richard Stockton's mark and not a middle initial.

ALBEMARLE COUNTY IN VIRGINIA, by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901, pp. 319-320. “Among the earliest settlers in the western part of the county, who came as is said under the leadership of Michael Woods, was a family named Stockton. Though their name has entirely disappeared, they have in a number of ways left their mark behind. They consisted of several branches. They erected perhaps the first mill in that section of the county. The north fork of Mechum's River still bears the name of Stockton's Creek, the south fork in early times was called Stockton's Mill creek, and the first name by which Israel's Gap was known was Stockton's Thoroughfare. The famous abbreviation of D. S. is also ascribed to the head of the family. One story recites that Michael Woods and Davis Stockton landed at Williamsburg, and came to the wilds of Goochland together, that arriving at D. S., they advanced in different directions, Woods continuing straight forward to Woods's Gap, and Stockton bearing to the left along the foot of the mountain towards Batesville, and that as a memorial of the place where they separated, Stockton carved his initials on a tree . . . Woods's home lay at the mouth of Woods's Gap, and the Stocktons were settled along Mecham's River, the south fork as well as the north . . Richard [Stockton] lived in the fork of Mechum's, near the old Black place; in fact, that place was a part of his land, he and his wife Agnes having sold four hundred acres to Rev. Samuel Black in 1751.”

ANCESTRY OF SAMUEL STOCKTON WHITE, by William Francis Cregar, 1888, p. 115. "Richard Stockton of the Parish of St. Anne’s, Albemarle County, Virginia, obtained a grant of 400 acres in the County of Goochland in 1745, and subsequently other grants in Albemarle County, where he died in 1775, his will being proved in October of that year."

THE STOCKTON FAMILY OF NEW JERSEY AND OTHER STOCKTONS, Thomas Coates Stockton, M. D., 1911, p. 236. Richard Stockton "obtained a grant of 400 acres of land in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia, 23 July 1745, and subsequently of other tracts in the same county. He made his will 21 July 1775, and it was proved in Oct. of the same year; showing that he died between the 2 dates."

SPOUSE:

Richard Stockton, Sr., married Agnes (maybe nee Anthony). It is not known exactly when or where Richard and Agnes married. It appears that they were married between 1730 and 1740. Some researchers show Agnes Stockton as Agnes A. Stockton. It appears however, that either her mark on deeds was the letter "A" or the clerk showed her mark as the letter "A" in the deed book making her name appear to be Agnes A. Stockton. Richard Stockton's name is shown by some researchers as Richard R. Stockton, but again, it appears that his mark was the letter "R" or the clerk showed his mark as the letter "R" in the deed book making his name appear to be Richard R. Stockton.

There is very little information as to when the children of Richard and Agnes Stockton were born. Richard is shown in Goochland County land records in March of 1741, and his father Davis Stockton is shown in Goochland County land records in June of 1737. Both Davis and Richard Stockton might have been in Goochland County several years before that. Most, if not all, of Richard and Agnes Stockton's children were probably born in what is now Albemarle County, Virginia. The Bible of Joseph B. Stockton, Sr., is said to show Robert Stockton, a son of Richard and Agnes Stockton, was born in New Jersey in 1743. This Bible record has not been located and it is not known when that information was written or who wrote it. Richard Stockton is known to have been in what is now Albemarle County, Virginia, by March of 1741. Two of Richard and Agnes Stockton's children, John and Thomas, were baptized in Goochland County in June of 1743. It appears extremely unlikely that their son Robert Stockton was born in New Jersey in 1743.

CHILDREN:

• Nancy (nee Stockton) Shields
• John Stockton

Agnes (nee unknown) Stockton was the wife of Richard Stockton, Sr., a son of Davis Stockton of Albemarle County, Virginia. Her maiden name is sometimes shown by researchers as Anthony, however, there is absolutely no evidence, whatsoever, that the maiden name of Anthony is correct.

Her date of birth and place of birth are not known. It appears she was probably born about 1720 as her first children appear to have been born about 1740. There is no evidence as to where Agnes was born, although she was not born in what later became Albemarle County, Virginia, as there were no settlers there until about 1730.

Some researchers show Agnes with the middle initial of "A" or the middle name of Ann, but those appear to be incorrect. The letter "A" was used as her mark, not as her middle initial.

There is an Agness Stockton shown on the 1778 Henry County, Virginia, Tax List, and an Agnes Stockton shown on the 1779 Henry County, Virginia, Tax List. Also shown on both of those tax lists are Thomas 3 (Richard 2, Davis 1) Stockton, Sr., and Rev. Robert 3 (Richard 2, Davis 1) Stockton, Sr. Living nearby in Franklin County was Richard 3 (Richard 2, Davis 1) Stockton, Jr., and in Pittsylvania County was John 3 (Richard 3, Davis 1) Stockton.

Richard and Agnes were the parents of:

1. Thomas Stockton, Sr.
2. John Stockton
3. Rev. Robert Stockton, Sr.
4. David Stockton
5. Richard Stockton, Jr.
6. Nancy (nee Stockton) Shields
7. Margaret (nee Stockton) Pulliam
8. Sarah (nee Stockton) Ross
9. Winneford (nee Stockton) Randalls
10. Mourning (nee Stockton) Wilkey
11. Jemima (nee Stockton) Sharp
12. Elizabeth (nee Stockton) Lockhart
