I am trying to identify the two J. Heflin names on an 1864 Confederate
Map of Stafford Co., VA. The names are on a line due West of Garrison,
Stafford Co. to the Fauquier Co. border. A lot of people who lived in
Stafford Co. near the Fauquier line attended church at the Grove Baptist
Church (Fauquier) and the Rock Hill Baptist Church (Stafford). If anyone
can help, it would be appreciated. Thanks Phyllis.
I believe the most likely candidates are:
James Edwin Hefflin b 1823, m 1848 Susan Patterson, s/o James Hefferlin
& Mary Anna Walker. James Edwin Heflin and his wife Susan raised the
infant daughter, Sally, of his brother Absolom whose second wife died
and left him with two small children.
James bought a lot in Falmouth, Stafford Co., in 1871. He released the
rights to the store house lot in Falmouth in 1877.
In the 1860 Census for Stafford Courthouse, Stafford Co., VA James
Heflin (40), farmer, owned 100 acres, was living with his wife Susan
(40) and Sally (8), daughter of Absolom Heflin. A Lucy Jones (17) is
also living with him.
John E. Heflin b 1809 Stafford Co., m 1839 Lucretia Courtney, s/o James
Hefferlin & Mary Anna Walker. On the marriage document it states that
Lucretia Courtney is the daughter of Alces (Alice Ennis) and the ward of
Alexander (John E. Heflin's uncle). John Hefflin and Alexander Courtney
were bondsmen.
Lucretia died 1893 and was removed from the roles of the Grove Baptist
Church. The Grove Baptist Church is located in the lower part of
Fauquier Co., VA, near Somerville, Elk Run, and Morrisville. There is
more information on the Grove Baptist Church relative to Baptisms,
Admission, Death, Dismissal, Exclusion, Membership Roles in the NGS
Library in Washington, DC.

Alexander S.?).

disability. Had light complexion, light hair, and was 6'2" tall.
