Yancey

cxxxii. , b. 19 Dec 1757, Richmond, Henrico, Virginia, USA, d. 11 Apr 1837, Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee, USA.

cxxxiii. Edmond Fox Collinsworth (Jr.)

cxxxiv. b. 1750, Culpepper, VA*

The first trace we have of this family is that four Welshmen, Charles, William, Joel and Robert Yancey who came to Virginia cxxxv. m. Elizabeth ? in 1779 in Culpepper, VA. Lived in KY and TN.

in 1642, with Sir William Berkeley, afterwards Governor, and settled in the James River region and prospered. From one of cxxxvi. Served with Washington at Valley Forge and with Jackson at Battle of New Orleans. Appears in DAR records. Sold the original four was descended Lewis Davis Yancey, who settled in Culpeper county about 1710; married Mildred, daughter bounty land from three years’ service in Daniel Trigg’s Militia (1781). Captured during Revolution. Private. From

of Charles Kavanaugh, of Irish parentage, who owned a large land estate of 40,000 acres in said county. This tract extended Culpepper, VA

westward and above the Beverly line up Muddy Run to Judge Field’s Mill, across by Poor Town to Gibson’s Mill on Mountain cxxxvii. *Please not that this makes no sense, if father David Edward immigrated to America in 1760. Also, why is he called Run. A portion of this land he bequeathed to his daughter Mildred, which portion has never been out of the Yancey family, and is

“Junior” if his father’s name was David?

still owned by Benjamin M. Yancey, a great grandson of Lewis Davis Yancey and by James Wm. Yancey a great great grandson.

cxxxviii. William Collinsworth

Lewis Davis Yancey lived and was buried on the estate of the latter, “Arlington”. From the “Crawford Book” we have “John cxxxix. b. 1793, VA

Yancey came from Wales about the middle of the 17th century”; then there must have been another brother.
