I'm working on Warwicks in Lynchburg and Amherst Co. A Maj. William Warwick (brother of my 4G grandmother) married three times, the last to Mrs. Frances A. Read (nee Blakey) (c.1795-1853) of Henrico, Co.
I don't know anything about her first marriage or her parents but she had a son Adolphus D. Read before she married Warwick. From her marriage to Maj. Warwick, she had six children. The eldest son was Reuben B. Warwick (1820-1845). I suspect that his middle name was Blakey and was named after likely maternal grandfather, Reuben Blakey.
Reuben married Lucy Edmonia Norvell in 1842 but he died young having fathered two children, both of whom also died young. He and the two small children, one unnamed and the other named Edmund Norvell Warwick, are buried in Lynchburg's Presbyterian Cemetery.
Unfortunately, none of the other six children of Frances A. Blakey Read Warwick married. The last one died in the old soldiers home in Richmond in 1902 thus ending her line.
Frances and sons Adolphus D. Read, Thomas Jefferson Warwick, and Marcellus Smith Warwick are buried in a family cemetery on a farm in Madison Heights that had been put together by Maj. Warwick throughout the 1820's. I was raised on that place and the cemetery is directly across the road from my mother's house.
Incindentally, one of Maj. Warwick's first land transactions for his "Bolling Creek" farm was from Rev. Stith Meade and I imagine that it may have been through this acquaintance that he met the third Mrs. Warwick.
