Gina,
This is information obtained from Albemarle Parish Register 1717-1784.
Charles, s of Jeremy Bullock and wife, Sarah, b Dec 25, 1740;christened Mar 29, 1741; godparents.HENRY EZZEL, John Bullock, Martha Bullock.
Unknown EZZEL, s of GEORGE EZZEL and w. SARAH, b Oct 2, 1741; christened Feb 28, 1742;godparents, Jeremiah Bullock, Richard Wigins, Eliza Roberts.
JESSE s of JAMES EZELL and w. KESIAH; b March 14, christened April 1, 1750.Godparents:Richard Bullock, Charles Bullock, LUCY EZZEL
Richard, s of Jesse Rogers and w. Faith, b Aug 7, christened Aug 7, 1768;godparents:Joseph Wren, JOHN EZELL, JR, Priscilla Gilliam.
The above named Kesiah, w of James Ezzel, is reported to be the daughter of Jeremiah and Amy Felts Bullock.Amy's will, dated 1765, names her daughter, Kesiah Ezzel, and Kesiah's son, Randal.There is no mention of Jesse.Did he die before his grandmother or was his nameJesse Randal, or Randal Jesse?
The Felts married into the Bullock family in that time frame in Sussex Co, Va.Agnes married Kesiah's brother, Lemuel.Her sister, Agnes, married Thomas Felts, Jr.I don't find a Jane Felts, but don;t have all of Amy's siblings.It is possible, and this is pure speculation, that Jane and Amy were sisters, Jane married and Ezell and Amy married a Bullock, thus bringing the 3 families together.
I would love to see what you have on you Ezzel descendants from that time. I descend from the Bullocks and Ezells so I would really like to know if this is my Ezzel line as well as my Bullock line.
Thanks,
Loretta
