Gayle,

Good idea.  In the spirit of your re-posting to "wake up the list," here
goes.

Capt. Samuel OLDHAM b. 1699 (where?) d. 1790 at which time he apparently was
living in King William Co., VA.  He was a judge and magistrate in King
George and Westmoreland counties.  Here's the good part - in Nov 1759
vestryment of his parish, Cople Parish, Westmoreland Co. brought before his
court one of his bondwomen who was summarily sentenced to "22 lashes well
laid on."  Her offense - a "bastard child!"  In 1791 one Edward OLDHAM (from
whom my husband descends) inherited Peach Hill from this Samuel OLDHAM.  As
I have been unable to find parents for Edward or legitimate children for
Samuel, can anyone help with the connection between the two?

Maybe this will help "wake up the list?"  Nothing like a little intrigue.

Thank you all.
