Happy new year to everyone.  This month marks our second two-part issue.
 Although we try to keep it to just one part, about 10 printed pages,
sometimes the material just fits together in such a way as to need more
space.  The New Year Issue is one of those times.  Special thanks to
cousin Dennis who, as you might suspect, has  a great deal of
information to share about the Yancey family.

We are assembling information for FCO 8 (due out around January 15th) so
send your submissions right away. You can look forward to some interesting
controversy surrounding Abraham Field's wife, Mary Ironmonger!

Some more info on Col. Charles Yancey of Albemarle Co., VA:

QUOTE:

SOURCE: HISTORY OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY By Woods
"Charles Yancey, who was a prominent man in the early part of the
century, was the son of Robert Yancey, of Buckingham. An energetic man
of business, he conducted a tavern, store, milll and distillery at
what was afterwards May's and still later Cocke's Tavern. This was
originally the location of the post office called Yancey's Mills
and though transferred to the more important center of Hillsboro,
the old name is retained. Mr. Yancey was appointed a magistrate in
1796, became colonel of the Forty-Seventh Regiment in 1806, and
served as sheriff in 1821. He was twice married, first to Sarah
daughter of Robert Field, and secondly to Jane Alexander."

Woods, in his book (quoted above), erroneously records the father of Col.
Charles Yancey as one Robert Yancey. Bible records prove otherwise.

>From the original Bible currently in possession of Richard Yancey of
Albemarle County:

Charles Yancey was born March 13, 1766 and Jeremiah Yancey, his father,
March 9 1745 and died June 11, 1784 and Margaret Yancey, was born
July 28th 1746 and died May 30, 1804 Sarah (Field) Yancey, wife of
said Charles Yancey was born October 10th 1766 and died March 26, 1803.

Their first son:
Jeremiah Yancey was born May 31st 1787
Ralph H. Yancey was born October 8th 1789
Mary Yancey was born December 13 1791
Margaret Yancey was born December 29th 1793
Joel Yancey was born August 2 1796
Robert Yancey was born December 20 1798
Elizabeth Yancey was born December 16 1800
Mildred Yancey was born February 14 1803

Jane (Alexander - 2nd wife of Charles) was born October 14th 1774.

Jechonias Yancey was born January 18 1805
Sarah Yancey was born December 22 1806
Alexander K. Yancey was born May 30 1807
Jane Yancey was born April 22 1812

"Wm. and Mary Quarterly: 9W (2) 178--John Field of England had a son Henry
born in 1611 who migrated to VA in 1635. This Henry was the father of
Abraham Field, Sr., born ca1636 and died in 1674; married Mary
Ironmonger."

>From one of our cousins:
"While doing research at the National Genealogical Society Library 7 years
ago I came across a chart on the Field family. It did not contain any
info on my line so I didn't copy it (shame on me) but I did take a
few notes. The title for this info reads 'FC - Field Misc. File.' This
file has information on Canadian Fields plus a huge chart on the
family of Rev. John Field, b. ca1519. His son, Bishop Theophilus, is
the ancestor of Peter Field, the ancestor of Thomas Jefferson and of Lt.
Theophilus Field of the Rev. War. A second son of Rev. John Field was
John (b. ca1579), the grandfather of Abraham Field, Sr."

>From Louisa Co. Historical Magazine Vol. 8 p. 31, 1977:
"Field, John, Pvt. wife Agnes asked for relief in Louisa Aug. 11, 1777;
G.p. 271; 7 CL."

>From LCHM Vol. 2 Issue 1, page 25, 1970:
"Barret and Winston Family Bible contributed by Nancy Chappelear Baird
Delaplane, Virginia
Joseph Roberson was married to Nancy C. May Field August the 17th 1842."

[SEE FCO 6 pt.1 for more info on this line.  There is a bit of
disagreement over this line. We will go into it more in FCO 8.

The following is from an electronic conversation between cousins Majie and
Sarah:
Thanks also for sending along a copy of the message from Gene Morrow. He
and I wrote about a year ago -- he's descended from Thomas Kimbrow &
Eleanor Graves -- they were in Louisa Co. before moving to Caswell Co.,
NC.  It's their son, Robert, who, I think, married Elizabeth Yancey --
not the
Robert who was the grandson (son? -- working from memory) of William
Kimbrough & Sarah Field.

These are some transcripts of letters between Col. Charles Yancey of
Albemarle (husband of Sarah Field & Jane Alexander.
They are transcribed from copies of the orginals in the
Thomas Jefferson Presidential papers (National Archives)

[To: Thomas Jefferson]
Hopeful Mills, 26 September 1815

Sir, I think it due from me to you to state to you the reason why the
petition to establish a college in Albemarle and approbate certain monies
belonging to said county to promote said establishment did not pass
through our house. I saw the petition was in your handwriting and
something like a project also which made me anxious to have a hearing
as I expected notwithstanding your advanced age if a [law?] was made
on the proposed plan
it would receive [_____} aid as to agreement of the gentleman to whom the
petition was entrusted gave it to W. Watson a representative from Louisa
County to use his judgement as to presenting it whose better judgement was
not to present it at so late an hour and finding he was principally
relied on I gave way to this judgement. Should you think proper to
present or send enclosed to me and my colleague while [____?] to
establish said
college it shall receive my particular support. I [_______?] with the
[m?]ortification the neglect of [_____?]  I have severely felt the want
of it in hopes that you will again [send?] [______?] a project. I avail
myself of this opportunity to assure you I have not nor never shall forget
the debt we owe you for our [political?] standing. Accept my
sincere wish for your present and future happiness. Your most humble
servant,
[Col.] Charles Yancey [of Albemarle Co., VA]

===================================================================

[To Col Charles Yancey of Albemarle Co., VA]

[Oct 15 1815]

Dear Sir:

A long absence from home - must apologize for this late
acknowledgment of your favor of Sep 26 -- I was [desired?] by the late Mr.
Peter Carr and some of the commissioners for the academy proposed to be
established in Albemarle to furnish them with a plan for the institution.
I accordingly communicated to them the best I could devise, after an
enquiry of many years into the nature of similar establishments and
forming from the whole what I thought adapted to our situation.  I also
prepared a petition for them to the general assembly and the form of such
an act as I thought should be part. These papers I gave to Mr. Carr and
have never seen them since, nor do I know in whose hands they are.
Indeed I had apprehended
that the proposition was not attended to since his death, until I saw an
advertisement that a petition would be presented to the assembly [__
____?]
the purchase of a house for it in Charlottesville. This has been
authorized by the board of Commissioners, it is more [than?] I know and
if not authorized by them it is a predetermination of a question which in
my judgement decides forever the fate of the institution -- Capt Joseph
miller, a resident of Norfolk, but who has [staid??] a good deal in this
country and with one
[____?] and who I believe is known to you, will have a petition before
the assembly for  carrying into effect the will of his brother, which we
hope will meet with your patronage,
 Accept the assurance of my esteem and respect.

                                   Thomas Jefferson

=====================================================================

[To: Charles Yancey]

[1816]

... If the legislature would add to the literary fund a perpetual
tax of a cent a head on the population of the state, it would set
agoing at once and forever maintain, a system of primary or ward schools,
and an university where might be taught, in its highest degree, of every
branch of science useful in out ime and country; and it would rescue us
from the tax of toryism, fanaticism, and indifferentism to their own
state, which
we now send our youth to bring from those of New England.
...  If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of
civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

[From:  Thomas Jefferson]

Query

Mary,
Saw your note on VA-Roots about Field Cousins Online.  My Field branch
came, I believe, from Virginia.  Please send me more info on the group.
