I am trying to prove my descent from the CLIFT family of Stafford Co., VA. In the St. Paul's Parish Register, I have reconstructed what appears to be the family there, 1700-1770s:
JOHN CLIFT married HANNAH (surname not given), and she died November 17, 1725). They probably were the parents of the following:
(1) MARY CLIFT who married THOMAS CARVER,
November 10, 1737
(2) WILLIAM CLIFT who married MARY HILL,
January 19, 1730/1
(3) JOHN CLIFT who married (1)MARGARET JOHNS,
March 3, 1738/9; (2) MARY BEACH, July 2, 1743
(4) BENJAMIN CLIFT who married MARGARET SEBASTIAN, May 6, 1740
(5) SARAH CLIFT who married JOHN LINSEY, January 3, 1739/40
(6) JOSEPH CLIFT who married JOYCE BARRET,
June 22, 1743
(7) ROBERT CLIFT who married JANE (surname not given)
Of the above,
JOHN CLIFT married (1) MARGARET JOHNS and had
(a) JOHN CLIFT (b. May 1, 1742) married (1) JEMIMA ARNOLD, December 26,1777; (2) ANNE
RODGERS,January 22, 1783
(b) WILLIAM CLIFT (b. Octobe 28, 1742) married ELIZABETH CALB, January 16, 1764
This JOHN CLIFT probably was the man who married (2) MARY BEACH, and had:
(a) ROBERT CLIFT (b. September 8, 1746) who married ELIZABETH BOLLING, January 21, 1777
(b) BENJAMIN CLIFT (b. January 17, 1748/9)
who married FRANCES BEAK , February 16, 1772
(c) HENRY CLIFT (b. January 14, 1750/1) who married SARAH ROGERS, December 6, 1772
(d) EMILY CLIFT (b. September 28, 1753)
(e) SARAH CLIFT (b. November 5, 1756)
(f) HANNAH CLIFT (b. February 26, 1760)who married JOHN CARVER, April 14, 1784
(g) REUBEN CLIFT (b. July 6, 1764)
BENJAMIN CLIFT, son of JOHN and HANNAH, married MARGARET SEBASTIAN, and had:
(a) NANCY CLIFT (b. May 6, 1746)
(b) BILLY CLIFT (b. January 22, 1754)
JOSEPH CLIFT married JOYCE BARRET and had:
(a) THOMAS CLIFT (b. September 22, 1744)
(b) HANNAH CLIFT (b. May 5, 1745)
ROBERT CLIFT married JOYCE (surname not given) and had:
(a) JOSEPH CLIFT (b. December 5, 1750)
(b) CATHERINE CLIFT (b. February 26, 1753) who married HOSEA ROGERS, January 22, 1783
(c) ANNE CLIFT (b. August 6, 1755)
(d) JANE CLIFT (b. February 3, 1758)
(e) MOLLY CLIFT (b. May 23, 1760) who married
JOHN SCOTT, February 15, 1787
(f) ROBERT CLIFT (b. September 21, 1762)
(g) JOHN CLIFT (b. November 12, 1764)
