In Reply to: Re: Argyle Blackstone, d. 1719 by Bill Morrow	of 686

This is what I have
1 Argyle BLACKSTONE Jr. Born in 1714 in Essex County, Virginia.

2 Argyle BLACKSTONE. Born abt 1668 in Essex County, Virginia. Argyle died in Essex County, Virginia in 1772; he was 104.

Believe that the Blackston Family was from York County, Virginia.
In the 8th Volume of Compendium of American Genalogy Page 507 List a family of Blackstones as follows:
John
Rev. Marmaduke Blakiston
George 1616-1669 Married a Barara Daug. of John Lawrson
John 1633-1670 Married Sarah -1683
John 1669-1733 Married Hannah
Michael
It is possiable that John could have been a brother of Argyle as they have wild names in their family like Marmaduke

Argyle married Millicent ARMSTRONG.

3 Millicent ARMSTRONG. Born abt 1678.

WAS A HALF SISTER OF ELIZABETH

4 Argyle BLACKSTONE. Born in 1630 in York County, Virginia. Argyle died in Essex County, Virginia in 1722; he was 92.

Early Virginia records have an Argyle Blackstone, orphan, with cattle. William Hawkins reported to the courts on the status of Argyle’s property, When William Hawkins died in the 1650’s Argyle was his son-in-law.
Will of Argil Blackstone, dated August 1722, proved Feburary 1723; legateis; daughter Habbah Zachary, daughter Ann, daughter Frael wife daughter Judah, daughter Holiday Blackstone and daughter Myllesentt. Frome the records of Old Rappahannock, Essex, Middlesex, King George and Richmond , Compiled by W. G. Stanoad 1890.
Power of Attorney, 1697 from Argall Blackstone of Essex to his brother William Blackstone of the county of York, Virginia.

6 Robert ARMSTRONG. Born in 1625 in Rappahannock County, Virginia. Robert died in Rappahannock County, Virginia in 1677/1680; he was 52.

The will of Robert Armstrong recorded in Essex Co. VA in 1708 left a tract of land to his grand daughters Ann and Hannah jointly. For several years it was thought that their name may have been Armstrong also but no proof of this was found. More research in the records of Essex Co. disclosed the fact that the second wife of Argyle Blackstone was Elizabeth Armstrong, daughter of Robert Armstrong, and that Argyle and Elizabeth had daughters named Ann and Hannah. No marriage record of Ann was found but there is a record of the marriage of Hannah and John Zachary. The records of Spottsylvania Co. show that in 1723 John & Hannah Zachery and James & Ann Stodgill sold the tract of land given to Ann and Hannah by the will of Robert Armstrong. (Partial copy of the original deed shown on a following page) These records leave no doubt that the wife of James Stodgill of Orange (Greene) Co. VA was Ann Blackstone, daughter of Argyle Blackstone and Elizabeth Armstrong. John Zachary and Hannah later settled near James and Ann in present Greene Co. and the early Orange Co records show that they witnessed deeds and other documents for each other and owned adjoining land.

Robert married Dorothy MARRIOT.

7 Dorothy MARRIOT. Born in 1651 in Rappahannock County, Virginia.

8 Thomas BLACKSTONE. Born in 1615 in England. Thomas died abt 1645; he was 30.

14 Joanathan MARRIOT.

Joanathan married Ann MORROW.

15 Ann MORROW.
