Are you interested in finding the parents of Rufus Minter or those of Esther Ball or other information? Rufus O. Minter mar. Esther Ball in King and Queen County in August 1874, entered on p. 144 of the Marriage Register for that County. The Minters in King and Queen County in 1850 included John Minter, age 36, and his family, Robert Minter, age 25, and his family, Alfred Minter, age 23 and his family and Nancy Cox Minter, age 55, her daughter Matilda, age 20 and grandson Charles Durham 8. None had a son R.O. Minter, although Alfred had a son Oliver Minter, whose age I read as 11, on the 1860 census. Nancy Cox Minter was the widow of Charles Minter, whom she mar. 15 Dec. 1810 in Essex Co. The births of several of Charles Minter's children were entered in the Minter/Durham bible; Harriet Minter 10 Nov. 1811, John Minter, 15 Dec. 1814 and Robert Minter, 16 Feb. 1819. Harriet Minter mar. James Durham, brother of Susannah Durham, 23 Dec. 1830. According to the Bible, Charles Minter died 2 March 1830. Nancy Cox Minter, his widow, and his sons, Robert and John were in King and Queen County in 1850. There was also an Alfred Minter in King and Queen who appears to be related to them, i.e., possibly also a son of Charles Minter. I do not know who the parents of Charles Minter were. All of the Minters in Essex County during that period appear to be from the children of Josiah Minter and Mary Barker. John Minter and his wife, Ann Ryland, had no children, and Barker Minter appeared to have only one son, Josiah Minter.
Since you are following up on so many of the Minters of Essex and King and Queen Counties, I wonder if you are descended from one of them. I am descended from James Minter of Kingston Parish, once part of Gloucester County and later Mathews County, and have done a lot of research on the Minters of Virginia and would be glad to share information with you. For example, John Minter son of the John Minter who d. in 1743, and who mar. Susannah Dykes, had two known children, John and Judith Minter, and moved to Middlesex County, where I have found marriages for a Bowler Minter and a Sukey (Susannah?) Minter. They seem to have disappeared from the Middlesex County records and have not been able to discover where they went. If you have anything on them would be happy to hear it, by e-mail would be o.k.
