Notes for ROBERT VICARS

Robert Vicars & Family were residents of Botetourt, Fincastle, Washington, & Russell Counties, but always lived in the same location.

Robert Vicars Tombstone is located in the Old Vicars Cemetery 3 miles east of the Scott County Line in Russell Co, VA. Located on Virginia State Route 71 on what was Robert's farm near Clinch River.

Served 99 days (full term of the war) in Dunmore's War (Governor of Virginia), the "battle of Point Pleasant", against Indian raiders in 1774, under Captain William Russell. Auditor's record show Robert was paid 7 pounds, 8 shillings, & sixpence for his service. The battle of Pt. Pleasant is the only battle fought during the war, on 10 Oct 1774.

Robert possibly was sent to America from England in "Bondage", source: Coldman, Peter Wilson, "Bonded Passengers to America 16-55-1775", Vol 2, New Orleans: Polyanthos, 1976, p 153. The Robert Vicars on this passenger list is the only Robert Vicars to enter the country via passengers list during the same time the Robert Vicars shows up on official record for Virginia.

Dear fellower researchers,
I have finally discovered someone who used to help run the Vicars family newletter (now stopped). She recently sent me a 4.4 meg file with 18,000 + names (can you believe it) of decendents of Robert Vicars & Lydia jackson c. 1747-1820.

I haven't had much of a chance to look at it..because of work (paying bills is such a pain...truly gets in the way of my genealogy hobby...) anyway....at a glance I think it connects some of the Vicars in TEN, KY ILL etc.. that we weren't sure if they were part of the Robert and Lydia family.

If you would like I can look up a few names for you and see if there is any new info for your lines. Send them to me and I'll do a search. I'm so excited about finding this person. She has 12 years of research, and the documentation so far has been excellent.

Take care,
Dawna J. Vicars, Dawna111@aol.com

******************************

Hi  Dawna,
I am descended from George W. SEXTON and your Lucy L. VICARS, daughter of David and Seanith (or Cynthia) Richardson VICARS. I have some information on the children of George and Lucy. They were: Arthur Thomas SEXTON (my grandfather) b. April 22, 1889 in Russell Co., Va., d. September 1960 in Scott Co., Va., Arnold SEXTON, birthdate unknown, and Mobee SEXTON, birthdate unknown. Mobee disappeared while a young person, some thought she died in a flood. No other knowledge of her. The information on these children came from a statement by my Uncle Thomas SEXTON on Sept.9, 1997. Lucy died before 1895 because George married again on Feb. 13, 1895 to Mary E. JOHNSON. He is listed as a widower, 30 yrs. old on the marriage abstract.

I had been seeking the parents of my g-grandmother Lucy L. Vicars and thank you for putting the information out there! I would like very much to find where Lucy is buried, George is buried in the Grassy Creek Church Cemetery near Nicklesville, Va. There are Vicars families there, but at the time I was there, I didn't even have the name of my g-grandmother Lucy, and therefore didn't think to look at the Vicars plots. Would also love to see a picture of her...if you or any other Vicars researchers should know of one, I'd be happy to pay expenses, time and whatever required, for a copy of it.

I have a great deal of information on the descendants of Arthur Thomas SEXTON, Lucy's first child, and am seeking more on the other two children. Hope my info adds to your knowledge and if you find more on Lucy I'd love to know about it. Btw, she must have gone by the nickname "Emily" because on the birth certificate for Arthur she is listed as Emily SEXTON. The informant was George W. SEXTON, father. Could her name possibly have been Lucy 'E.' VICARS? Sometimes the old fashioned script is hard to deciper and an 'L' could almost appear to be a 'E'. Sorry to say, I do not have a copy of their marriage license, I've only been working from an abstraction. Writing for a copy will be next on my list....

Hope this helps,
Sue Ann (Sexton) Ford

In:  Coldman, Peter Wilson, "Bonded Passengers to America 1655-1775", Vol 2, New Orleans:
Polyanthos, 1976, p 153:
he lists three Vickers to arrive to America via Justica.
Vicars  Early Immigrants:

NAME: Robert Vickars, age: n.a.; place of arrival: America; year of arrival: 1767; ref: 1223, pg.

NAME: John Vickers, age: n.a.; place of arrival: America; year of arrival: 1773; ref: 1222, pg. 273.

Dee Dee sent me the Robert paper (which I can't seem to find), and I paid for the William and John
paper to be sent from London via the Guildhall Library (man, was I surprised when I got that
bill....guess I should check the English pound against the  US dollar before I said yes... Oh well
lesson's learned).  Anyway, these are bad copies but let make out and type in what I can on
John  & William (whom, by the way, are caught at REAL theft, contrary to our Robert who if I recall
seemed to be picking up scraps from his work place.)  These are Verbatium transcribed.  I put
question marks (??) where I can't read.
Good Reading,'

pg 309 (unknown book)
520 (m)  WILLIAM VICKERS was indicted for stealing eight printed books bound in leather,
Work of Dr. Jonathon Swift, value 20s; 7 printed book bound in leather, of Collin's Peerage of Eng.,
val 40s. Six printed books bound in leather, initiale, the Dramaticv Works of John Dryden, Esq; and
3 rinted books, bound in leather, by Thomas Sherlock, val 10 s, the property of George Booth
Tindal Esq Aug 15

George Booth Tindal Esq: When I went out of town my books were safe on Thursday the 28th of
July; after I was gone  received a letter informing me a man was "dere??/ed" in stealing my books....I
missed the books laid in the indictment from out of my chambers.  (he produced a letter wrote by the
prisoner (W. Vickers) whose hand-writing he knew well; it was read where in he acknowledged the
taking of the books and had pledged them to 3 different pawnbrokers; and begs mercy)

James Brooks, I live in the Strand.  the prisoner brought Swifts works on Sat. the 6th of Aug. and
pledged them for a half a guinea;and on Monday the 8th he brought Collins Peerage; I questioned
him how he came by them, he did not give me a satisfactory account, but after a good deal of talk he
permitted me to go with him to what he called his chambers in the Temple; he with a key, opened the
doors, I saw over the door the Name "Tindal"; upon that I said to him, you gave me a different name
than this; his answer was the gentleman who lived there before he had the chambers was of that
name; he farther instructed me to go and be satisfied; but I told him I was quite satisfied they were
not his chambers; I went down stairs and at the bottom of the stairs went in a periwig shop and
inquired if a Mr. Tindal had chambers there, they said he had and they believed he was in Bristol.  I
went immediately home and by the time the prisoner was at my shop I asked he very closely with
stealing the books, upon this he opened the door and ran, I jumped over the counter and ran after
him and brought him back and had him before Sir John Fielding, he committed him to farther
examination.

Joseph Patterson I live in ????? on the 5 of August the prisoner pledged with me 3 books of Dr.
Sherlocks Sermons. (Produced  in court)

Hugh Davidson I live in Fleet Street, the prisoner pledged with me 6 volumes of Dryden's works to
40s in the name of William Vickers, he told me he had chambers in the Temple. (books produced in
court).

Prisoner DeFence
I was hired as a servant; four days after that my master went into the country, I contracted several
debts; I had a letter from my master that he would be in town in a little time; I was obliged to pledge
these' but expected when my master came to town to get them again; I have a wife and two
children.

To his Character
Angus Kennedy  I have known the prisoner between 9-10 years, I never heard nothing in regard to
his character before now; he was along with me at the reduction of Bellesle and taking of Quebec; I
was a servant of the Marines, I now belong to the militia and so does he.

From Dawna Vicars:
Attached is a file in Rich Text Format (should be opened by any word processing file) that list part of
my recent research conducted at the DAR  Library and National Archives in Wash. DC on July 5-7,
2000.

This File includes Vicars/Vickers from SW VA (both Russell, CO and Lee, CO) for Civil War
Muster rolls, one death notices (Killed in Action) & WW 1 Draft registrations for Vicars in Creek,
CO, OKLA. (this Creek Co, OKLA family is from the John Vicars * Gemmina Fugate Line.  John is
listed in the conferederate rolls from Lee Co.  John was born in Russell Co.  Gemmima in TN.)

Each muster roll includes the card file numbers and rank, date of enlisted age and any notes on the
card file.  This is VERY helpful when you go to look for their pension file, or write to the National
Archives for further information...so I took great care in writing down the numbers.

I have more info to share, but this took me 5 hours to types in, so I'm stopping for now.  Hope it
helps some our our follow researchers in SW VA and the Vicars lines.

Sincerely,
Dawna J. Vicars
