Kelly,
Thanks much for the information on Vickers in Virginia. My information about Robert is pretty thin. I'll go back through my files and summarize. As it happens, I contacted Debbie Mauelshagen about two weeks ago. Funny how the same researchers keep rediscovering each other! :) We are from the same line and have shared some information about Burnett ancestors. Two brothers, John M. and James Burnett married sisters Nancie and Elizabeth Elam, respectively. The sisters were the daughters of Nimrod Elam and Mary (Polly) Easterling, and Polly was the daughter of Thomas Easterling and Rebecca Vickers.
I'm intrigued by the Robert Vickers in the information that you sent. He was in the right place and time to perhaps be a son to the older Robert that Debbie and I are tracking. At least he's the only other Robert Vickers in Virginia that I've heard of. The orphaned Vickers are also a possibility, especially since Robert seems to appear from nowhere.
Thanks again,
Bill Benjey

***************
Kelly,

Here is about everything I have for VA Vickers notes and refs. Rather than hold on to them, I would like you to post them for others. Maybe more can be added and we all benefit. WFT refers to World Family Tree, Vol and family. As usual, this is the working file I compile to then analyze from. I am finishing up a study of the Vickers of Rutherford County NC and hope to get that to you in about a week, then, with then with the great assistance of Kay Jenkins will turn to revising my Wilkes County Vickers study. I am still searching for the smoking gun tying the Wilkes Vickers together or prove Elias as the progenitor and one who possibly removed from Prince William County VA to NC. I have seen recent turnarounds of the material "factually" stating Elias as the father of Elijah, John etc. (of Wilkes). Although there are strong implications, I have yet to prove it myself or seen it proven by others. Just a passing along a note of caution for due regard. Believe me, when its proven, I will quickly and happily pass the data along to you and all those whom I correspond with. Thanks again for a great page and all the work.

I ran across your website and saw a few names that I recognized. I hope that you or someone else can fill in some missing information about our family.  We may be related. Some years ago my daughter and I found a copy of a will of Ebeneezer Grubb in the courthouse in Leesburg, Virginia. He had a daughter Rosanna who was born in 1813 and died in 1893 in Springfield, Ilinois. She married Thomas Vickers of Loudon County, Virginia. (I have no information about his ancestors.) Thomas and Rosanna had a son William who died in 1882.  (Someone on your site is identified as George William Vickers and I assume he is the same person.) William married Martha Derry who was born in 1837 in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia and died in 1912. William and Martha had a son, Ashby Chrisitan Vickers who was born on Christmas day 1861 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, grew up in Springfield, Illinois, and moved to California when he was a young man. He died in 1940. Ashby married Addie Mae Holden who was born in 1869 in Oregon and died in 1954 in Hollywood, California. Ashby and Addie had five daughters and one son who was my father, Ashby C. Vickers. He was born in Los Angeles in 1908 and died in 1998. He married Carolyn Bowker Vickers who was born in Ventura, California in 1913 and is still alive. I was born in 1938 in Ventura and now live in Santa Barbara.

Hi, Don!
        Thanks for writing!  I think I finally found the George William Vickers you refer to, at the bottom of the "Vickers of Virginia" file, b. 1838.  While anything is possible, this George William Vickers' parents are listed as William Vickers and Catherine Crim, rather than Thomas and Rosanna.  The Loudon Co., does fit, however.
        While trying to find the George William you referred to, I did find another William that may be your man.  It at least deserves some serious checking. In the same "Vickers of Virginia" file, about a quarter of the way down, under Farquar/Fauquier Co, is the following:

A. Thomas Vickers b. 9 Oct 1809 in Farquier Co. VA m. 11 Aug 1798 in Loudon Co. VA to
__________ and had the following children:
A.1. MALINDA VICKERS b. ca. 1830

2ND MARY SENSABAUGH. Children with probably Caroline Reeder:
**
Here you have a Thomas Vickers with an unnamed wife (Rosanna?) who, although b. in Farquar Co., marries in Loudon Co., and has a son named William, born about the time your William might have been born (note that although the data suggests 1830 for the first several children listed, the other children were born earlier, e.g. (1790-1809).  Let me know if this fits your data.  Thanks!

    Kelly, thanks for your response. I believe you are right and that William, not George William, is my greatgrandfather. I was confused because the information showed that George was married to Martha Derry. I believe that is in error because I am quite certain she was my greatgrandmother.
Her father was Christian Derry.
    The list showing the children of Thomas Vickers differs considerably from my information which is that the children of Thomas Vickers and Rosanna Grubb included: Ebeneezer, William, Sally, Frank, Thomas, Nimrod, Charles C., Robert, Joshua, Rachael and a daughter referred to as "Sis" but whose name I don't know. Charles C. was born in 1845, married Mary Maxoon and died in 1919 in Oklahoma City. Nimrod moved to Ventura, California even before my grandfather did.
    As I indicated earlier I can not trace the Vickers family beyond Thomas.  However, there is a story in the family that they were Quakers who moved to Virginaia from Pennsylvania.
Best wishes, Don

Rosannah's parents were Ebenezer Grubb (May 30, 1763 - January 12, 1835) and his second wife, Mary E. Smallwood (January 25, 1784 - April 19, 1865) daughter of Bayne Smallwood and Marsilva Coe of Loudoun County, Virginia. I don't have much information on Rosannah other than she was born March 31, 1813 and married Thomas Vickers in Hillsboro, Virginia. Please e-mail me at daveg@permainc.com if you have any additional information about Rosannah so that we can complete her bio in the family history.

Vernon, I don't know if I have anything of use but at least I do have some names of siblings of William Vickers and Ashby Vickers. I have a list prepared by someone who appears to have been a relative of Theodore Columbus Vickers that indicates that Thomas Vickers and Rosanna Grubb had eleven children. I have ten names. They are Ebenezer, William, Sally (married Norman Bell), Frank, Nimrod, Margaret (married Dr. Price), Theodore Columbus (also known as Charles C.) Rachael (married Charles Carter) and Joshua. The names I have for children of William Vickers and Martha Derry are: William, Wilhamena Langley, Rose Vradenberg (?), Estelle Ruthrouff, Ashby, Robert, Charles, and Mattie Conley. Let me know if any of this ties into to something. Don

To: kvickers@tfc.edu

I ran across your website and saw a few names that I recognized. I hope that you or someone else can fill in some missing information about our family. We may be related. Some years ago my daughter and I found a copy of a will of Ebeneezer Grubb in the courthouse in Leesburg, Virginia. He had a daughter Rosanna who was born in 1813 and died in 1893 in Springfield, Ilinois. She married Thomas Vickers of Loudon County, Virginia. (I have no information about his ancestors.) Thomas and Rosanna had a son William who died in 1882. (Someone on your site is identified as George William Vickers and I assume he is the same person.) William married Martha Derry who was born in 1837 in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia and died in 1912. William and Martha had a son, Ashby Chrisitan Vickers who was born on Christmas day 1861 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, grew up in Springfield, Illinois, and moved to California when he was a young man. He died in 1940. Ashby married Addie Mae Holden who was born in 1869 in Oregon and died in 1954 in Hollywood, California. Ashby and Addie had five daughters and one son who was my father, Ashby C. Vickers. He was born in Los Angeles in 1908 and died in 1998. He married Carolyn Bowker Vickers who was born in Ventura, California in 1913 and is still alive. I was born in 1938 in Ventura and now live in Santa Barbara.

Hi, Don!
Thanks for writing! I think I finally found the George William Vickers you refer to, at the bottom of the Vickers of Virginia file, b. 1838. While anything is possible, this George William Vickers parents are listed as William Vickers and Catherine Crim, rather than Thomas and Rosanna. The Loudon Co., does fit, however.
While trying to find the George William you referred to, I did find another William that may be your man. It at least deserves some serious checking. In the same Vickers of Virginia file, about a quarter of the way down, under Farquar/Fauquier Co, is the following:

 

Here you have a Thomas Vickers with an unnamed wife (Rosanna?) who, although b. in Farquar Co., marries in Loudon Co., and has a son named William, born about the time your William might have been born (note that although the data suggests 1830 for the first several children listed, the other children were born earlier, e.g. (1790-1809). Let me know if this fits your data. Thanks!
Regards,
Kelly

Kelly, thanks for your response. I believe you are right and that William, not George William, is my greatgrandfather. I was confused because the information showed that George was married to Martha Derry. I believe that is in error because I am quite certain she was my greatgrandmother.
Her father was Christian Derry.
The list showing the children of Thomas Vickers differs considerably from my information which is that the children of Thomas Vickers and Rosanna Grubb included: Ebeneezer, William, Sally, Frank, Thomas, Nimrod, Charles C., Robert, Joshua, Rachael and a daughter referred to as Sis but whose name I dont know. Charles C. was born in 1845, married Mary Maxoon and died in 1919 in Oklahoma City. Nimrod moved to Ventura, California even before my grandfather did.
As I indicated earlier I can not trace the Vickers family beyond Thomas. However, there is a story in the family that they were Quakers who moved to Virginaia from Pennsylvania.

Vernon,
Thanks for all the information.  I have one addition/possible correction for my line.  I'm descended from William and Martha Derry Vickers' daughter Willie (she was my gr-gr-grandma).  You have her married name as Langley, when in fact she married Francis Marion DeLay.  Perhaps she was married to a Langley first, then married my granddad Francis???  I've never heard of a prior marriage, but it's certainly a possibility.  Or perhaps she was widowed and remarried after her children were born??? I'm descended from their son Charles Allen DeLay Sr, and his son Charles Allen DeLay Jr.
Once again, thanks for sharing your information.  The pieces are starting to fall into place!
