John Venable, Lincoln, NC (females under 10-1)81

1810 Census
Daniel Venable, Surry NC (females under 10 – 1)
John Venable, Lincoln NC* (females under 10-1, between 10 and 15-1)
Thomas Venable, Surry NC (no females in right age range)
William Venable, Surry NC* (females under 10-1, between 10 and 15-2)
If Mary Venable’s family did not leave NC before 1810, she would have to be the daughter of either John of Lincoln or William of Surry. Note that William Venable of Buncombe and John and William Venable of Stokes are not on the 1810 census which means they either died or moved from NC before 1810.
VENABLE YDNA
The Venable YDNA project is young. Remember when you are reading this that in the NC Venable pedigree a Venable woman had several children out of wedlock that had the name Venable so that some of the non-matching groups may be from that source. Another reason for non-matches is that some participants may not have the correct ancestor listed in thier pedigree. All researchers are the same. We are all looking for our ancestors and may make a mistake in deciding which person on our list is really our ancestor.
Group one: Joseph Venable 1730 VA-1810 KY, John Venable 1780 SC -AR, Moses Venable 1808 KY-1858 MS, Larkin S. Venable 1816 KY

Are the NC Venables descended from Richard Venable who married Mary Jordan?
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Will Book A, page 28, JORDAN, JOHN, Pennsboro, Lancaster Co. April 12, 1750, November 9, 1754. Wife: Catherine, son John, George Tembleton, Isabel Barber, Richard Vennable, Archibald Kenedy, Samuel Lamb, Randle Slack, Mary Wray. Exs: wife Catherine and son John Jordan. Wit: John Addams, John Stewart, Alexander Sanderson, James Sanderson.
Per Jordan family records John Jordan had children:
1. John Jordan died 1791
2. Female Jordan married George Tembleton
3. Isabel married (1) Wrey (2) Barber
3a Mary Wray married John Wilson
3a1. Rev. Rbt. Wilson (1768 Lincoln NC) married Eliz. M. Gilleland (d/o Alexander Gilliland born 1737 PA and Francis Elizabeth Baird. Alexander Gilleland is found in Lincoln NC)
4. Mary Jordan (b. 1716) married Richard Venable
4a. Richard Venable, Jr. (1736? Or so) Could this be the Richard Venable of Lincoln Co, NC
5. Catherine Jordan married Archibald Kennedy (1715 PA)
6. Margaret Jordan married Samuel Lamb
7. Sarah Jordan married Randal Slack
Notice the coincidence in the Oliver family:
Kennedy is on the pedigree of Mary Dudley who married James William Oliver, the son of William F. Oliver and Mary Venable. Susan Gilleland –m-Guildford Dudley (son Edward married a Kennedy) See Dudley Pedigree. Susan Gilleland was the mother of Mary Dudley.
Could the Kennedy, Venable, Gilleland intermarriages in PA and NC be related to the Kennedy, Venable and Gilleland marriages in the Dudley/Oliver family in Savannah, Georgia?
LINCOLN CO NC
Lincoln was created from Tryon County in 1779. Tryon was created from Mecklenburg (an original county) in 1768.
The 1790 census (when William F. Oliver was supposedly born) shows Thomas Oliver, John Oliver, James Oliver, Richard Venable, Richard Venable, Alex. Gilleland Thomas Gilleland, William Kennedy, George Laurence, Andrew Lowrants, Abraham Lowrance, Daniel Lowrance, David Lowrance, Isaac Lowrance.

Oliver caveats the application of Bradford Jones on the est. of Guildford Dudley, dec’d. Feb. 6, 1846. Granted.”95
**A further note about Bradford Jones- from Cemetery Records of Effingham County:
JONES UNCLAIMED CEMETERYLocated off maple Street, Springfield, GA adjoining Union Cemetery next to Georgia National Guard Armory.
“Bradford Jones caused uprisings among slaves at the beginning of the War Between the States, which caused much strife in the area. As a result, he was hanged and he was not allowed to be buried inside the Union Cemetery because he was classified as a TRAITOR. The relationship to Rebecca Jones is not known.”

James’ age is in error as seen from his tombstone inscription which has 1822-1865.
In 1850 in same district there is a James R Oliver with 2 slaves (1) female age 15 and one male age 11.
Across the GA/FLA line from Hamilton Co, Fla, we find in 1850 in Lowndes Co, Ga:
Family 699: Abraham Brantley97 (31 Ga), Mary Brantley (17 Ga), Delilah Brantley (6 Ga), Martha Ann Brantley (3 Ga), George Brantley (newborn Ga).
Family 783: Granville Beville98 (65 Ga), Sarah Ann Beville (51 Ga), Claiborne Beville (25 Ga),
Daniel Beville (23 Ga), Robert Beville (17 Ga), Julia Beville (9 Ga).
Children of James W. Oliver married into both the Brantley and the Bevill families. Did James Wm. Oliver know the Brantley and Beville families in Chatham before they moved to Hamilton Co. Florida and adjacent Lowndes County, Georgia? Did they migrate together? Or, did the Oliver, Brantley and Beville connection happen after James Wm. Oliver moved back to Chatham County, Georgia and perhaps looked up relatives of the Brantley and Bevill families he met in Florida. Or, was it all just a coincidence?
