2. Posting to WorldConnect as a note to our entry is the following:
Thomas Stockton, who was born about 1835, was a son of Thomas and Elsie (nee Johnson) Stockton, and a grandson of Jesse and Mary (nee Hays) Stockton. His great-grandparents were Thomas and Rachel (nee Allen) Stockton, Sr. The following is some information about his ancestors:
THOMAS STOCKTON, SR., of ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA by Jerry Stockton The first documented information on Thomas Stockton's family was a mention of his father, Davis Stockton, on a Virginia Land Office Patent to Michael Wood (Woods) dated 10 June 1737. "George the Second . . . 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 Thomas Stockton was born. It appears that he was born about 1714, and maybe in Ireland. 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 might have been born in Ireland, 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 the North and South Forks of Mechum's River in the 1730's, however, they are not found there until 15 March 1741. The North Fork of Mechum's River became known as Stockton Creek, and the South Fork became known as 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. In 1761 Amherst County was formed from the southern part of Albemarle County, and the western part of Louisa County was added as the northernmost part of Albemarle County. 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 1807 the northern part of Amherst County became Nelson County. Thomas Stockton married Rachel Allen, a daughter of Samuel and Margaret (nee Chapman) Allen. The Chapman family was from Chesterfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Rachel Allen's father died and her mother married Samuel Arnold. The Samuel Arnold family moved to Goochland County and can be found there by 1741, however, they might have been living there several years before that time. Thomas Stockton appears to have met and married Rachel Allen in Goochland County in the late 1730's or very early 1740's.

This appears to be part of the patent ! that was given to Davis Stockton on 6 July 1741.

John Blair" 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, and 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." ALBEMARLE COUNTY IN VIRGINIA, by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901, pp. 362-363 "Ivy Creek, March 29, 1747. Whereas it is agreed or proposed that ye Inhabitants of Ivy Creek and ye Mountain Plain Congregation joyn together with ye Congregation of Rockfish, to call and invite ye Reverend Samuel Black . . . to be our Minister and Pastor . . . do promise and oblige ourselves to pay yearly and every year ye several sums annexed to our names, for ye outward support and Incouragement of ye said Mr. Samuel Black . . . according to ye Rules and Practice of our Orthodox Reformed Presbyterian Church." Among those who promised support for Reverend Samuel Black were: Richard Stockton, 12 shillings; Davis Stockton, 1 pound, no shillings; Adam Gaudylock, 10 shillings; William Whiteside, 10 shillings; Thomas Lockhart, 10 shillings; Michael Woods, 1 pound, 10 shillings; and Michael Woods Jr., 10 shillings. Richard Stockton was a brother of Thomas, and Adam Goudelock and William Whiteside were brothers-in-law of Thomas. It is important to note that neither Thomas Stockt! on nor Samuel Arnold, who are both known to have been living in Albemarle County in 1747, are not mentioned as being members of the Orthodox Reformed Presbyterian Church. ALBEMARLE COUNTY IN VIRGINIA, by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901, p. 363 "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 names mentioned. Samuel Stockton and William Stockton were both brothers of Thomas Stockton who is not mentioned as being in the Militia. Thomas was a Quaker and would not have been involved with the Albemarle County Militia.

Jesse 3 Stockton was not the sole owner of the plantation, his mother Rachel (nee Allen) Stockton owned one third of the estate of Thomas 2 Stockton, Sr. For Jesse to sell the plantation his mother would also need to sell her one third interest in the plantation. This is Jesse 3 (Thomas 2, Davis 1) Stockton and his mother Rachel (nee Allen) Stockton selling the plantation of Thomas 2 Stockton, Sr. The Thomas Stockton who was a witness to the deed was Thomas 3 (Thomas 2, Davis 1) Stockton, Jr., and the James Hayes who was a witness to the above deed was a brother of Mary Hayes who married Jesse Stockton.

This appears to be the same 148 acres that John and Margaret Stockton sold to Jesse Stockton on 1 May 1788. This is Jesse 3 (Thomas 2, Davis 1) Stockton and his wife Mary (nee Hayes) Stockton. SPOUSE: Thomas Stockton married Rachel Allen, a daughter of Samuel and Martha (nee Chapman) Allen. After Samuel Allen died Martha (nee Chapman) Allen married Samuel Arnold. The Samuel Arnold family was living next to the Davis Stockton family probably as early 1740. It appears that Thomas Stockton probably met and married Rachel Allen in Goochland County, Virginia. The will of Thomas Stockton, Sr., "I do give and bequeath unto my Son Jessee, all my Lands and plantation whereon I now live, also I do give unto my wife Rachel, the Third of my Lands, during her life as widowhood." Rachel (nee Allen) Stockton and her son Jesse Stockton sold the Thomas Stockton plantation on 16 April 1787. Rachel (nee Allen) Stockton has not been located after the 16 April 1787 deed.
