CONFIRMATION OF LUCINDA JANE PEYTON's MARRIAGE TO EDWARD BLOXTON:
In a letter from W. H. Rollins to Louisa Jane Bloxton's husband, Don Alonzo Sanford, dated Oct 11, 1897, from Monteithville near Glenmore Farm: "Mr. (Arba) Packard said you wished to know something of Edward Bloxton. If you will write to Henry (Henry Edward?) Florry (Florey? Fleury?), Hopesville (Harpersville?), Shelby County, Alabama, you could find some of his family. (NOTE: Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine, where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton.)
Mr. Bloxton married Mr. Simeon Conway Peyton's sister of this (Stafford) County."
Jane was the daughter of
Thomas Robert Peyton (1788 or 1779 • White Oak, Stafford, VA - 15 JAN 1864 • White Oak, Stafford, VA) (63 in 1850)

Margaret "Peggy" (Neale) Maddox (1770, Charles Co, MD - d. Stafford Co); Thomas & Sarah were married 22 Dec 1812, Stafford, VA; Sarah the sister of Benedicta Maddox Bloxton, Edward Bloxton's mother).
Jane's mother, Sarah Maddox (1794 – 1877) and siblings:
1. Lucretia Lucy Maddox (1795–1860)

Lucinda's Great-Grandparents: YELVERTON PEYTON & Elizabeth Heath, who owned PEYTON'S ORDINARY:
In 1768, Yelverton Peyton, son of John Peyton of Stony Hill, was granted a license to keep an ordinary or inn in Stafford County, Virginia. These were usually built along roads about 15 miles apart to serve travelers. Here they could eat, sleep and share the latest news. Ordinaries also served as post offices. Peyton's Ordinary was located on Aquia Creek. Ordinary owners were men of some importance in the community. On March 6, 1769, George Washington dined at Peyton's establishment. Later, he spent the night there on his way to the House of Burgesses and again in 1772 while en route to Fredericksburg. General Rochambeau's army camped there while marching north from Williamsburg. Peyton's ordinary on Aquia Creek was about 16 miles north of Fredericksburg on the main road from Alexandria. The exact location is not known.
Lucinda's Grandparents: Capt. Thomas Peyton (ca 1763–Jan 15, 1795) & maybe Elizabeth Leverton?
Jane's other brother and his twin (or his wife) on Stafford Co, VA, 1850 Census with Simeon & their parents, Thomas & Sarah Peyton: James Henry Peyton (24) & Rebecca M Peyton (24), b. ca 1826. Amanda Peyton, b. 1834, is listed elsewhere as Simeon's sibling.

Jane's husband, Edward Bloxton was the son of Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1816) and grandson of Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (1757-1805). Edward's father, Capt. Samuel Bloxton was the brother of Abraham Bloxton, whose first wife was also named Catharine "Kitty" Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton was married to mother of Ann "Nancy" (m. Daniel Little by 1820) & Mary "Polly" (m. her cousin, Thompson M. Bloxton & had Mary, aka Margaret T. Bloxton, b. c1920; may not have been living in 1836) #1 Catharine Bloxton (d. c1810), and to #2 the mother of: Edward, Beverly (b: 1805) & Lucinda (b. 1815 VA - d. 14 May 1887, Union County, AR): Benedicta Maddox of Charles County, MD, who settled in Stafford County, VA in the 1790s. They donated land for the historic Aquia Church in Stafford (not in Stafford County after 1817). Benedicta m. #2 Edward Fleury -- their home on Aquia Church property today is called "The Fleury's"). (Coincidentally, an Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine (where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton). Benedicta's sisters may have been triplets--all age 55 on census. Edward's older brother, Beverly Bloxton "Sr" married (Oct 19, 1836) Eruby Crump Hall (b: 1805; he d. 22 AUG 1844 or 20 JAN 1843, Shelby Co., AL); their sister, LUCINDA BLOXTON (1815-1887) (m. 1835, NATHANIEL Barksdale PRIMM, SC/VA/SC, in Shelby County, Alabama - NBP b. 10 Apr 1815, Laurens District, South Carolina to James & Mary (Barksdale) Primm - d: 4 Apr 1889, Union County, Arkansas). Edward's wife, Lucinda Jane Peyton, was also born 1815 in VAx3, plus Jane Peyton named her daughter, who died age 6, Lucinda J. Bloxton, so we have THREE Lucinda Bloxtons to confuse matters.
There is a BLOXTON-POSEY connection. I was told that the connection probably comes through the MADDOX family.
Several Poseys in Charles County MD married Maddox;
John POSEY (b 1685) m Elizabeth MADDOX,
their dau Frances POSEY (b 1716) m Benjamin MADDOX
their son Humphrey POSEY (b 1718) m Mary Ann MADDOX.
Basil MADDOX - only records found census 1790 Charles county and an unpatented land certificate 01/03/1788.
Bloxton Family migrated to Stafford County, VA, from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD about 1790's.
Samuel B. Bloxton (b. 1799) & Mary POSEY Bloxton (ca1800-ca1849) named their son James POSEY Bloxton. Samuel was the son of Abraham & Catherine "Kitty" Bloxton. (Abraham's brother was Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1916) & wife also a Catherine Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton's second wife was Benedicta Maddox. Her parents, Basil & Margaret "Peggy" (Neale) Maddox and maybe 7 children were also from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD, before they moved to King George, VA. Basil Maddox was in Stafford by 1803 when he commenced paying taxes on 70 acres he had acquired from William Taylor. This property seems to have been located in the general vicinity of modern Ferry Farm subdivision (southeastern Stafford). Margaret operated a tavern there from at least 1815 to 1818 and possibly other years, as well.)
Capt. Samuel & Abraham's father was Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (d. 1805).
After Edward BLOXTON died, age 44, Feb 1856, buried Harpersville Cemetery, Shelby Co., AL, (with family of William Elgin POSEY)
his widow, Lucinda Jane Peyton BLOXTON, married #2 on 5 JAN 1860 in Shelby County, AL:
Joseph Jackson "J. J." Gregg (1833-1884)(18 years her junior), b. 9 FEB 1833 in Camden, Kershaw County, SC/SC/SC; d. NOV 1884, age 51, Shelby County, AL, s/o John Nelson Gregg, Sr. & Amelia H. Cotton.
They appear on July 15, 1860 Census on Farm, Wilsonville P.O., Shelby Co, AL: Joseph Gregg (23), Farmer; L. J. Gregg (47); her daughter with Edward, Frances "Fannie" Bloxton (11); and his brother, Jno Gregg (17).
Aug 18, 1870 Census on ($150 real estate/$400 personal estate) Farm #90, Beat 17, Hillsboro P.O., Shelby County, AL: J.J. Gregg (37), Farmer; L.J. Gregg (55) "cannot read or write", and her youngest living daughter, "F.A. BLOXTON" (18) (but really 20).
Just up the road in 1870, Farm #66, is J.J.'s brother, Rev. David Sharp Gregg and his wife.
June 25, 1880 Census, Farm, Spearmans, Shelby Co., AL: Joseph J. "Greeg" (49), Farmer, SCx3 & Lucinda J. "Greeg" (65), VAx3.
[NOTE: I have JJ Gregg's genealogy]
JJ's brother: John Nelson Gregg, Jr. (1837-1922) gave his son "Jackson" for a middle name, John Jackson Gregg, Sr. (1881-1954) after his older brother.

Mary F. with parents on 1860 census.
With her surname spelled -Blaxton- in the record, she married CHARLES S. LOWDERBACK in Union Co., AR, 28 Dec. 1865. Charles b. 1840-41 in Virginia. At the time of the 1860 census, Mary was residing with her mother and stepfather in Jackson Township, Union Co., AR. Her surname was listed as -Hall- on that census. In 1870 she and Charles were residing in El Dorado, Jackson Township, in Union County. Apparently, they lived in Louisiana for a short time, for their first child was born there. Mary was deceased by the time of the 1880 census - widower Charles (39) married next, on April 6, 1880, Union, AR to Vivian Ophelia "Vivie O" Adams Cossart (aka V.Q., widow of Alonza Cossart, 1849-1876) (27), b.

Henry Bloxton was born in 1840 in Shelby Co., AL, d. Apr 1880 in Wilcox Co., AL.
More probably, these marriages and children are Henry's brother's, Orion Posey Bloxton (see documentation in attached photo), married Miss P. E. Milner on 17 November 1870 in Dallas Co., AL. According to [email protected], it was also O.P. (not his brother, Henry, as reported elsewhere) who then married Frances "Frankie" Hooks BLOXTON, daughter of C.

Lucinda and Edward Bloxton's daughter, Mary, married:
GEORGE W. McGOWEN, farmer and prominent citizen of Wilsonville, is a native of Shelby County, Alabama. He was born October 8, 1834, and is a son of Edward and Priscilla (Bullock) McGowen. Edward McGowen was born in Scotland, and when quite yhoung came with his parents to this country. They, upon first coming to America, settled in North Carolina, remaining there, however, only a short time when they removed to Alabama and settled on a farm near where Montgomery now stands, and engaged in farming and milling. In 1830 they removed to Shelby county, and in 1854 to Texas, where they lived until their death Edward McGowen married in Montgomery, but remained with his parents until after they removed to Shelby county, where he settled down on a farm, remaining there until his death. The mother was born in North Carolina. Her father, Leonard Bullock, was, like the paternal grandfather of Mr. McGowen, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. George W. McGowen is the third of four brothers born to his parents, only one of whom, beside himself, being now alive. This brother is named James, and he was also in the late war. The father of George W. dying when the latter was quite young, and leaving his family in stringent circumstances, George became wholly dependent upon himself, and, although his education was quite limited, like that of most other self-made men, he has so far been successful in accumulating a sufficiency of this world's goods and comforts. In 1859 he married Miss Mary J. BLOXTON, daughter of Edward and Lucinda (PEYTON) BLOXTON, by whom he has had eight children, four of whom are living, viz.: David N., Lulu J., Walter W., and George O. Mrs. McGowen was born and raised in Shelby County, and died in 1888. She was a most devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1889, at Jacksonville, Calhoun County, AL, Mr. McGowen married secondly, Sarah E. Privett, a native of Jacksonville, d/o James and Elizabeth (Aderhold) Privett, both natives of NC. In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, 18th AL Infantry, under Captain Peter Hunley, as a private soldier, and served as such throughout the war. He was engaged in numerous battles, and in the Battle of Chickamauga, received two wounds which compelled him to retire from active service six months. On returning to his company, he was detailed to the ordnance department, in which he remained during the remainder of the war. He was at Resaca, where his duty was to issue ammunition to the soldiers in the field. At Atlanta he also performed the same duty. After the close of the war, being left without property, he began life for himself as a farmer, which honorable vocation he has ever since followed, and his success and prosperity are indicated by the fact that now he possesses 700 acres of land all in good condition for the production of crops. Mr. McGowen stands high in the community as a straightforward, honest and upright man.

Re: Lucinda Jane Bloxton “L.J.” Peyton Gregg
"Hi Donna, Thank you for posting such extensive information on this memorial. I am curious if you have any more information from the letter from W. H. Rollins to Louisa Jane Bloxton's husband, Don Alonzo Sanford. I am particularly interested in how Henry Edward Florey is related.
I am following a theory that HE Florey's mother, Susan Maddox, may be the same person as Benedicta Maddox. From Stafford, VA records we know an Edward Florey married Benedicta. There are then deed records of Edward and Benedicta in 1838 in Shelby, AL. Records in 1851+ show Edward's wife as Susan. Susan's obituary mentions she had 12 children. Edward Florey only had 5 and those five were all born in VA.
There are multiple records of the Florey's and Bloxton's together in Shelby and these letters further bond the relationship between the two. "

Lucinda's Great-Grandparents: YELVERTON PEYTON & Elizabeth Heath, who owned PEYTON'S ORDINARY:
In 1768, Yelverton Peyton, son of John Peyton of Stony Hill, was granted a license to keep an ordinary or inn in Stafford County, Virginia. These were usually built along roads about 15 miles apart to serve travelers. Here they could eat, sleep and share the latest news. Ordinaries also served as post offices. Peyton's Ordinary was located on Aquia Creek. Ordinary owners were men of some importance in the community. On March 6, 1769, George Washington dined at Peyton's establishment. Later, he spent the night there on his way to the House of Burgesses and again in 1772 while en route to Fredericksburg. General Rochambeau's army camped there while marching north from Williamsburg. Peyton's ordinary on Aquia Creek was about 16 miles north of Fredericksburg on the main road from Alexandria. The exact location is not known.
Lucinda's Grandparents: Capt. Thomas Peyton (ca 1763–Jan 15, 1795) & maybe Elizabeth Leverton?
Jane's other brother and his twin (or his wife) on Stafford Co, VA, 1850 Census with Simeon & their parents, Thomas & Sarah Peyton: James Henry Peyton (24) & Rebecca M Peyton (24), b. ca 1826. Amanda Peyton, b. 1834, is listed elsewhere as Simeon's sibling.

Jane's husband, Edward Bloxton was the son of Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1816) and grandson of Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (1757-1805). Edward's father, Capt. Samuel Bloxton was the brother of Abraham Bloxton, whose first wife was also named Catharine "Kitty" Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton was married to mother of Ann "Nancy" (m. Daniel Little by 1820) & Mary "Polly" (m. her cousin, Thompson M. Bloxton & had Mary, aka Margaret T. Bloxton, b. c1920; may not have been living in 1836) #1 Catharine Bloxton (d. c1810), and to #2 the mother of: Edward, Beverly (b: 1805) & Lucinda (b. 1815 VA - d. 14 May 1887, Union County, AR): Benedicta Maddox of Charles County, MD, who settled in Stafford County, VA in the 1790s. They donated land for the historic Aquia Church in Stafford (not in Stafford County after 1817). Benedicta m. #2 Edward Fleury -- their home on Aquia Church property today is called "The Fleury's"). (Coincidentally, an Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine (where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton). Benedicta's sisters may have been triplets--all age 55 on census. Edward's older brother, Beverly Bloxton "Sr" married (Oct 19, 1836) Eruby Crump Hall (b: 1805; he d. 22 AUG 1844 or 20 JAN 1843, Shelby Co., AL); their sister, LUCINDA BLOXTON (1815-1887) (m. 1835, NATHANIEL Barksdale PRIMM, SC/VA/SC, in Shelby County, Alabama - NBP b. 10 Apr 1815, Laurens District, South Carolina to James & Mary (Barksdale) Primm - d: 4 Apr 1889, Union County, Arkansas). Edward's wife, Lucinda Jane Peyton, was also born 1815 in VAx3, plus Jane Peyton named her daughter, who died age 6, Lucinda J. Bloxton, so we have THREE Lucinda Bloxtons to confuse matters.
There is a BLOXTON-POSEY connection. I was told that the connection probably comes through the MADDOX family.
Several Poseys in Charles County MD married Maddox;
John POSEY (b 1685) m Elizabeth MADDOX,
their dau Frances POSEY (b 1716) m Benjamin MADDOX
their son Humphrey POSEY (b 1718) m Mary Ann MADDOX.
Basil MADDOX - only records found census 1790 Charles county and an unpatented land certificate 01/03/1788.
Bloxton Family migrated to Stafford County, VA, from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD about 1790's.
Samuel B. Bloxton (b. 1799) & Mary POSEY Bloxton (ca1800-ca1849) named their son James POSEY Bloxton. Samuel was the son of Abraham & Catherine "Kitty" Bloxton. (Abraham's brother was Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1916) & wife also a Catherine Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton's second wife was Benedicta Maddox. Her parents, Basil & Margaret "Peggy" (Neale) Maddox and maybe 7 children were also from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD, before they moved to King George, VA. Basil Maddox was in Stafford by 1803 when he commenced paying taxes on 70 acres he had acquired from William Taylor. This property seems to have been located in the general vicinity of modern Ferry Farm subdivision (southeastern Stafford). Margaret operated a tavern there from at least 1815 to 1818 and possibly other years, as well.)
Capt. Samuel & Abraham's father was Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (d. 1805).
After Edward BLOXTON died, age 44, Feb 1856, buried Harpersville Cemetery, Shelby Co., AL, (with family of William Elgin POSEY)
his widow, Lucinda Jane Peyton BLOXTON, married #2 on 5 JAN 1860 in Shelby County, AL:
Joseph Jackson "J. J." Gregg (1833-1884)(18 years her junior), b. 9 FEB 1833 in Camden, Kershaw County, SC/SC/SC; d. NOV 1884, age 51, Shelby County, AL, s/o John Nelson Gregg, Sr. & Amelia H. Cotton.
They appear on July 15, 1860 Census on Farm, Wilsonville P.O., Shelby Co, AL: Joseph Gregg (23), Farmer; L. J. Gregg (47); her daughter with Edward, Frances "Fannie" Bloxton (11); and his brother, Jno Gregg (17).
Aug 18, 1870 Census on ($150 real estate/$400 personal estate) Farm #90, Beat 17, Hillsboro P.O., Shelby County, AL: J.J. Gregg (37), Farmer; L.J. Gregg (55) "cannot read or write", and her youngest living daughter, "F.A. BLOXTON" (18) (but really 20).
Just up the road in 1870, Farm #66, is J.J.'s brother, Rev. David Sharp Gregg and his wife.
June 25, 1880 Census, Farm, Spearmans, Shelby Co., AL: Joseph J. "Greeg" (49), Farmer, SCx3 & Lucinda J. "Greeg" (65), VAx3.
[NOTE: I have JJ Gregg's genealogy]
JJ's brother: John Nelson Gregg, Jr. (1837-1922) gave his son "Jackson" for a middle name, John Jackson Gregg, Sr. (1881-1954) after his older brother.

With her surname spelled -Blaxton- in the record, she married CHARLES S. LOWDERBACK in Union Co., AR, 28 Dec. 1865. Charles b. 1840-41 in Virginia. At the time of the 1860 census, Mary was residing with her mother and stepfather in Jackson Township, Union Co., AR. Her surname was listed as -Hall- on that census. In 1870 she and Charles were residing in El Dorado, Jackson Township, in Union County. Apparently, they lived in Louisiana for a short time, for their first child was born there. Mary was deceased by the time of the 1880 census - widower Charles (39) married next, on April 6, 1880, Union, AR to Vivian Ophelia "Vivie O" Adams Cossart (aka V.Q., widow of Alonza Cossart, 1849-1876) (27), b.

Henry Bloxton was born in 1840 in Shelby Co., AL, d. Apr 1880 in Wilcox Co., AL.
More probably, these marriages and children are Henry's brother's, Orion Posey Bloxton (see documentation in attached photo), married Miss P. E. Milner on 17 November 1870 in Dallas Co., AL. According to [email protected], it was also O.P. (not his brother, Henry, as reported elsewhere) who then married Frances "Frankie" Hooks BLOXTON, daughter of C.

Lucinda and Edward Bloxton's daughter, Mary, married:
GEORGE W. McGOWEN, farmer and prominent citizen of Wilsonville, is a native of Shelby County, Alabama. He was born October 8, 1834, and is a son of Edward and Priscilla (Bullock) McGowen. Edward McGowen was born in Scotland, and when quite yhoung came with his parents to this country. They, upon first coming to America, settled in North Carolina, remaining there, however, only a short time when they removed to Alabama and settled on a farm near where Montgomery now stands, and engaged in farming and milling. In 1830 they removed to Shelby county, and in 1854 to Texas, where they lived until their death Edward McGowen married in Montgomery, but remained with his parents until after they removed to Shelby county, where he settled down on a farm, remaining there until his death. The mother was born in North Carolina. Her father, Leonard Bullock, was, like the paternal grandfather of Mr. McGowen, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. George W. McGowen is the third of four brothers born to his parents, only one of whom, beside himself, being now alive. This brother is named James, and he was also in the late war. The father of George W. dying when the latter was quite young, and leaving his family in stringent circumstances, George became wholly dependent upon himself, and, although his education was quite limited, like that of most other self-made men, he has so far been successful in accumulating a sufficiency of this world's goods and comforts. In 1859 he married Miss Mary J. BLOXTON, daughter of Edward and Lucinda (PEYTON) BLOXTON, by whom he has had eight children, four of whom are living, viz.: David N., Lulu J., Walter W., and George O. Mrs. McGowen was born and raised in Shelby County, and died in 1888. She was a most devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1889, at Jacksonville, Calhoun County, AL, Mr. McGowen married secondly, Sarah E. Privett, a native of Jacksonville, d/o James and Elizabeth (Aderhold) Privett, both natives of NC. In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, 18th AL Infantry, under Captain Peter Hunley, as a private soldier, and served as such throughout the war. He was engaged in numerous battles, and in the Battle of Chickamauga, received two wounds which compelled him to retire from active service six months. On returning to his company, he was detailed to the ordnance department, in which he remained during the remainder of the war. He was at Resaca, where his duty was to issue ammunition to the soldiers in the field. At Atlanta he also performed the same duty. After the close of the war, being left without property, he began life for himself as a farmer, which honorable vocation he has ever since followed, and his success and prosperity are indicated by the fact that now he possesses 700 acres of land all in good condition for the production of crops. Mr. McGowen stands high in the community as a straightforward, honest and upright man.

Re: Lucinda Jane Bloxton “L.J.” Peyton Gregg
"Hi Donna, Thank you for posting such extensive information on this memorial. I am curious if you have any more information from the letter from W. H. Rollins to Louisa Jane Bloxton's husband, Don Alonzo Sanford. I am particularly interested in how Henry Edward Florey is related.
I am following a theory that HE Florey's mother, Susan Maddox, may be the same person as Benedicta Maddox. From Stafford, VA records we know an Edward Florey married Benedicta. There are then deed records of Edward and Benedicta in 1838 in Shelby, AL. Records in 1851+ show Edward's wife as Susan. Susan's obituary mentions she had 12 children. Edward Florey only had 5 and those five were all born in VA.
There are multiple records of the Florey's and Bloxton's together in Shelby and these letters further bond the relationship between the two. "

If you will write to Henry (Henry Edward?) Florry (Florey? Fleury?), Hopesville (Harpersville?), Shelby County, Alabama, you could find some of his family. (NOTE: Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine, where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton.)

Lucinda's Great-Grandparents: YELVERTON PEYTON & Elizabeth Heath, who owned PEYTON'S ORDINARY:
In 1768, Yelverton Peyton, son of John Peyton of Stony Hill, was granted a license to keep an ordinary or inn in Stafford County, Virginia. These were usually built along roads about 15 miles apart to serve travelers. Here they could eat, sleep and share the latest news. Ordinaries also served as post offices. Peyton's Ordinary was located on Aquia Creek. Ordinary owners were men of some importance in the community. On March 6, 1769, George Washington dined at Peyton's establishment. Later, he spent the night there on his way to the House of Burgesses and again in 1772 while en route to Fredericksburg. General Rochambeau's army camped there while marching north from Williamsburg. Peyton's ordinary on Aquia Creek was about 16 miles north of Fredericksburg on the main road from Alexandria. The exact location is not known.
Lucinda's Grandparents: Capt. Thomas Peyton (ca 1763–Jan 15, 1795) & maybe Elizabeth Leverton?

Jane's husband, Edward Bloxton was the son of Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1816) and grandson of Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (1757-1805). Edward's father, Capt. Samuel Bloxton was the brother of Abraham Bloxton, whose first wife was also named Catharine "Kitty" Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton was married to mother of Ann "Nancy" (m. Daniel Little by 1820) & Mary "Polly" (m. her cousin, Thompson M. Bloxton & had Mary, aka Margaret T. Bloxton, b. c1920; may not have been living in 1836) #1 Catharine Bloxton (d. c1810), and to #2 the mother of: Edward, Beverly (b: 1805) & Lucinda (b. 1815 VA - d. 14 May 1887, Union County, AR): Benedicta Maddox of Charles County, MD, who settled in Stafford County, VA in the 1790s. They donated land for the historic Aquia Church in Stafford (not in Stafford County after 1817). Benedicta m. #2 Edward Fleury -- their home on Aquia Church property today is called "The Fleury's"). (Coincidentally, an Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine (where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton). Benedicta's sisters may have been triplets--all age 55 on census. Edward's older brother, Beverly Bloxton "Sr" married (Oct 19, 1836) Eruby Crump Hall (b: 1805; he d. 22 AUG 1844 or 20 JAN 1843, Shelby Co., AL); their sister, LUCINDA BLOXTON (1815-1887) (m. 1835, NATHANIEL Barksdale PRIMM, SC/VA/SC, in Shelby County, Alabama - NBP b. 10 Apr 1815, Laurens District, South Carolina to James & Mary (Barksdale) Primm - d: 4 Apr 1889, Union County, Arkansas). Edward's wife, Lucinda Jane Peyton, was also born 1815 in VAx3, plus Jane Peyton named her daughter, who died age 6, Lucinda J. Bloxton, so we have THREE Lucinda Bloxtons to confuse matters.
There is a BLOXTON-POSEY connection. I was told that the connection probably comes through the MADDOX family.
Several Poseys in Charles County MD married Maddox;
John POSEY (b 1685) m Elizabeth MADDOX,
their dau Frances POSEY (b 1716) m Benjamin MADDOX
their son Humphrey POSEY (b 1718) m Mary Ann MADDOX.
Basil MADDOX - only records found census 1790 Charles county and an unpatented land certificate 01/03/1788.
Bloxton Family migrated to Stafford County, VA, from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD about 1790's.
Samuel B. Bloxton (b. 1799) & Mary POSEY Bloxton (ca1800-ca1849) named their son James POSEY Bloxton. Samuel was the son of Abraham & Catherine "Kitty" Bloxton. (Abraham's brother was Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1916) & wife also a Catherine Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton's second wife was Benedicta Maddox. Her parents, Basil & Margaret "Peggy" (Neale) Maddox and maybe 7 children were also from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD, before they moved to King George, VA. Basil Maddox was in Stafford by 1803 when he commenced paying taxes on 70 acres he had acquired from William Taylor. This property seems to have been located in the general vicinity of modern Ferry Farm subdivision (southeastern Stafford). Margaret operated a tavern there from at least 1815 to 1818 and possibly other years, as well.)
Capt. Samuel & Abraham's father was Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (d. 1805).
After Edward BLOXTON died, age 44, Feb 1856, buried Harpersville Cemetery, Shelby Co., AL, (with family of William Elgin POSEY)
his widow, Lucinda Jane Peyton BLOXTON, married #2 on 5 JAN 1860 in Shelby County, AL:
Joseph Jackson "J. J." Gregg (1833-1884)(18 years her junior), b. 9 FEB 1833 in Camden, Kershaw County, SC/SC/SC; d. NOV 1884, age 51, Shelby County, AL, s/o John Nelson Gregg, Sr. & Amelia H. Cotton.
They appear on July 15, 1860 Census on Farm, Wilsonville P.O., Shelby Co, AL: Joseph Gregg (23), Farmer; L. J. Gregg (47); her daughter with Edward, Frances "Fannie" Bloxton (11); and his brother, Jno Gregg (17).
Aug 18, 1870 Census on ($150 real estate/$400 personal estate) Farm #90, Beat 17, Hillsboro P.O., Shelby County, AL: J.J. Gregg (37), Farmer; L.J. Gregg (55) "cannot read or write", and her youngest living daughter, "F.A. BLOXTON" (18) (but really 20).
Just up the road in 1870, Farm #66, is J.J.'s brother, Rev. David Sharp Gregg and his wife.
June 25, 1880 Census, Farm, Spearmans, Shelby Co., AL: Joseph J. "Greeg" (49), Farmer, SCx3 & Lucinda J. "Greeg" (65), VAx3.
[NOTE: I have JJ Gregg's genealogy]
JJ's brother: John Nelson Gregg, Jr. (1837-1922) gave his son "Jackson" for a middle name, John Jackson Gregg, Sr. (1881-1954) after his older brother.

Their only child was:
MARY F. BLOXTON,b. ca 1838/1842-43, AL - d. ca 1876-79, AR.
Mary F. with parents on 1860 census.
With her surname spelled -Blaxton- in the record, she married CHARLES S. LOWDERBACK in Union Co., AR, 28 Dec. 1865. Charles b. 1840-41 in Virginia. At the time of the 1860 census, Mary was residing with her mother and stepfather in Jackson Township, Union Co., AR. Her surname was listed as -Hall- on that census. In 1870 she and Charles were residing in El Dorado, Jackson Township, in Union County. Apparently, they lived in Louisiana for a short time, for their first child was born there. Mary was deceased by the time of the 1880 census - widower Charles (39) married next, on April 6, 1880, Union, AR to Vivian Ophelia "Vivie O" Adams Cossart (aka V.Q., widow of Alonza Cossart, 1849-1876) (27), b.

Henry Bloxton was born in 1840 in Shelby Co., AL, d. Apr 1880 in Wilcox Co., AL.
More probably, these marriages and children are Henry's brother's, Orion Posey Bloxton (see documentation in attached photo), married Miss P. E. Milner on 17 November 1870 in Dallas Co., AL. According to [email protected], it was also O.P. (not his brother, Henry, as reported elsewhere) who then married Frances "Frankie" Hooks BLOXTON, daughter of C.

Lucinda and Edward Bloxton's daughter, Mary, married:
GEORGE W. McGOWEN, farmer and prominent citizen of Wilsonville, is a native of Shelby County, Alabama. He was born October 8, 1834, and is a son of Edward and Priscilla (Bullock) McGowen. Edward McGowen was born in Scotland, and when quite yhoung came with his parents to this country. They, upon first coming to America, settled in North Carolina, remaining there, however, only a short time when they removed to Alabama and settled on a farm near where Montgomery now stands, and engaged in farming and milling. In 1830 they removed to Shelby county, and in 1854 to Texas, where they lived until their death Edward McGowen married in Montgomery, but remained with his parents until after they removed to Shelby county, where he settled down on a farm, remaining there until his death. The mother was born in North Carolina. Her father, Leonard Bullock, was, like the paternal grandfather of Mr. McGowen, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. George W. McGowen is the third of four brothers born to his parents, only one of whom, beside himself, being now alive. This brother is named James, and he was also in the late war. The father of George W. dying when the latter was quite young, and leaving his family in stringent circumstances, George became wholly dependent upon himself, and, although his education was quite limited, like that of most other self-made men, he has so far been successful in accumulating a sufficiency of this world's goods and comforts. In 1859 he married Miss Mary J. BLOXTON, daughter of Edward and Lucinda (PEYTON) BLOXTON, by whom he has had eight children, four of whom are living, viz.: David N., Lulu J., Walter W., and George O. Mrs. McGowen was born and raised in Shelby County, and died in 1888. She was a most devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1889, at Jacksonville, Calhoun County, AL, Mr. McGowen married secondly, Sarah E. Privett, a native of Jacksonville, d/o James and Elizabeth (Aderhold) Privett, both natives of NC. In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, 18th AL Infantry, under Captain Peter Hunley, as a private soldier, and served as such throughout the war. He was engaged in numerous battles, and in the Battle of Chickamauga, received two wounds which compelled him to retire from active service six months. On returning to his company, he was detailed to the ordnance department, in which he remained during the remainder of the war. He was at Resaca, where his duty was to issue ammunition to the soldiers in the field. At Atlanta he also performed the same duty. After the close of the war, being left without property, he began life for himself as a farmer, which honorable vocation he has ever since followed, and his success and prosperity are indicated by the fact that now he possesses 700 acres of land all in good condition for the production of crops. Mr. McGowen stands high in the community as a straightforward, honest and upright man.

Re: Lucinda Jane Bloxton “L.J.” Peyton Gregg
"Hi Donna, Thank you for posting such extensive information on this memorial. I am curious if you have any more information from the letter from W. H. Rollins to Louisa Jane Bloxton's husband, Don Alonzo Sanford. I am particularly interested in how Henry Edward Florey is related.
I am following a theory that HE Florey's mother, Susan Maddox, may be the same person as Benedicta Maddox. From Stafford, VA records we know an Edward Florey married Benedicta. There are then deed records of Edward and Benedicta in 1838 in Shelby, AL. Records in 1851+ show Edward's wife as Susan. Susan's obituary mentions she had 12 children. Edward Florey only had 5 and those five were all born in VA.
There are multiple records of the Florey's and Bloxton's together in Shelby and these letters further bond the relationship between the two. "

CONFIRMATION OF LUCINDA JANE PEYTON's MARRIAGE TO EDWARD BLOXTON:
In a letter from W. H. Rollins to Louisa Jane Bloxton's husband, Don Alonzo Sanford, dated Oct 11, 1897, from Monteithville near Glenmore Farm: "Mr. (Arba) Packard said you wished to know something of Edward Bloxton. If you will write to Henry (Henry Edward?) Florry (Florey? Fleury?), Hopesville (Harpersville?), Shelby County, Alabama, you could find some of his family. (NOTE: Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine, where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton.)
Mr. Bloxton married Mr. Simeon Conway Peyton's sister of this (Stafford) County."
Jane was the daughter of

Lucinda's Great-Grandparents: YELVERTON PEYTON & Elizabeth Heath, who owned PEYTON'S ORDINARY:
In 1768, Yelverton Peyton, son of John Peyton of Stony Hill, was granted a license to keep an ordinary or inn in Stafford County, Virginia. These were usually built along roads about 15 miles apart to serve travelers. Here they could eat, sleep and share the latest news. Ordinaries also served as post offices. Peyton's Ordinary was located on Aquia Creek. Ordinary owners were men of some importance in the community. On March 6, 1769, George Washington dined at Peyton's establishment. Later, he spent the night there on his way to the House of Burgesses and again in 1772 while en route to Fredericksburg. General Rochambeau's army camped there while marching north from Williamsburg. Peyton's ordinary on Aquia Creek was about 16 miles north of Fredericksburg on the main road from Alexandria. The exact location is not known.
Lucinda's Grandparents: Capt. Thomas Peyton (ca 1763–Jan 15, 1795) & maybe Elizabeth Leverton?

"They were quite wealthy and have a mausoleum at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond." I think their relative through Ann Peyton Jenkins -- Luther Howard Jenkins, Sr., was the wealthy one--a wealthy businessman who owned L.H. Jenkins Book Bindery Building, etc. His $1.5 million home was at 1839 Monument Avenue.

Jane's husband, Edward Bloxton was the son of Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1816) and grandson of Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (1757-1805). Edward's father, Capt. Samuel Bloxton was the brother of Abraham Bloxton, whose first wife was also named Catharine "Kitty" Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton was married to mother of Ann "Nancy" (m. Daniel Little by 1820) & Mary "Polly" (m. her cousin, Thompson M. Bloxton & had Mary, aka Margaret T. Bloxton, b. c1920; may not have been living in 1836) #1 Catharine Bloxton (d. c1810), and to #2 the mother of: Edward, Beverly (b: 1805) & Lucinda (b. 1815 VA - d. 14 May 1887, Union County, AR): Benedicta Maddox of Charles County, MD, who settled in Stafford County, VA in the 1790s. They donated land for the historic Aquia Church in Stafford (not in Stafford County after 1817). Benedicta m. #2 Edward Fleury -- their home on Aquia Church property today is called "The Fleury's"). (Coincidentally, an Edward Florey & Susan Maddox Florey were parents of John M. Morgan's wife, Catherine (where O.P. & William Bloxton were living when W.A. Morgan was pregnant with Annie E. Bloxton). Benedicta's sisters may have been triplets--all age 55 on census. Edward's older brother, Beverly Bloxton "Sr" married (Oct 19, 1836) Eruby Crump Hall (b: 1805; he d. 22 AUG 1844 or 20 JAN 1843, Shelby Co., AL); their sister, LUCINDA BLOXTON (1815-1887) (m. 1835, NATHANIEL Barksdale PRIMM, SC/VA/SC, in Shelby County, Alabama - NBP b. 10 Apr 1815, Laurens District, South Carolina to James & Mary (Barksdale) Primm - d: 4 Apr 1889, Union County, Arkansas). Edward's wife, Lucinda Jane Peyton, was also born 1815 in VAx3, plus Jane Peyton named her daughter, who died age 6, Lucinda J. Bloxton, so we have THREE Lucinda Bloxtons to confuse matters.
There is a BLOXTON-POSEY connection. I was told that the connection probably comes through the MADDOX family.
Several Poseys in Charles County MD married Maddox;
John POSEY (b 1685) m Elizabeth MADDOX,
their dau Frances POSEY (b 1716) m Benjamin MADDOX
their son Humphrey POSEY (b 1718) m Mary Ann MADDOX.
Basil MADDOX - only records found census 1790 Charles county and an unpatented land certificate 01/03/1788.
Bloxton Family migrated to Stafford County, VA, from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD about 1790's.
Samuel B. Bloxton (b. 1799) & Mary POSEY Bloxton (ca1800-ca1849) named their son James POSEY Bloxton. Samuel was the son of Abraham & Catherine "Kitty" Bloxton. (Abraham's brother was Capt. Samuel Bloxton (1783-1916) & wife also a Catherine Bloxton. Capt. Samuel Bloxton's second wife was Benedicta Maddox. Her parents, Basil & Margaret "Peggy" (Neale) Maddox and maybe 7 children were also from Durham Parish, Charles County, MD, before they moved to King George, VA. Basil Maddox was in Stafford by 1803 when he commenced paying taxes on 70 acres he had acquired from William Taylor. This property seems to have been located in the general vicinity of modern Ferry Farm subdivision (southeastern Stafford). Margaret operated a tavern there from at least 1815 to 1818 and possibly other years, as well.)
Capt. Samuel & Abraham's father was Samuel Bloxton, Sr. (d. 1805).
After Edward BLOXTON died, age 44, Feb 1856, buried Harpersville Cemetery, Shelby Co., AL, (with family of William Elgin POSEY)
his widow, Lucinda Jane Peyton BLOXTON, married #2 on 5 JAN 1860 in Shelby County, AL:
Joseph Jackson "J. J." Gregg (1833-1884)(18 years her junior), b. 9 FEB 1833 in Camden, Kershaw County, SC/SC/SC; d. NOV 1884, age 51, Shelby County, AL, s/o John Nelson Gregg, Sr. & Amelia H. Cotton.
They appear on July 15, 1860 Census on Farm, Wilsonville P.O., Shelby Co, AL: Joseph Gregg (23), Farmer; L. J. Gregg (47); her daughter with Edward, Frances "Fannie" Bloxton (11); and his brother, Jno Gregg (17).
Aug 18, 1870 Census on ($150 real estate/$400 personal estate) Farm #90, Beat 17, Hillsboro P.O., Shelby County, AL: J.J. Gregg (37), Farmer; L.J. Gregg (55) "cannot read or write", and her youngest living daughter, "F.A. BLOXTON" (18) (but really 20).
Just up the road in 1870, Farm #66, is J.J.'s brother, Rev. David Sharp Gregg and his wife.
June 25, 1880 Census, Farm, Spearmans, Shelby Co., AL: Joseph J. "Greeg" (49), Farmer, SCx3 & Lucinda J. "Greeg" (65), VAx3.
[NOTE: I have JJ Gregg's genealogy]
JJ's brother: John Nelson Gregg, Jr. (1837-1922) gave his son "Jackson" for a middle name, John Jackson Gregg, Sr. (1881-1954) after his older brother.

Their only child was:
MARY F. BLOXTON,b. ca 1838/1842-43, AL - d. ca 1876-79, AR.
Mary F. with parents on 1860 census.
With her surname spelled -Blaxton- in the record, she married CHARLES S. LOWDERBACK in Union Co., AR, 28 Dec. 1865. Charles b. 1840-41 in Virginia. At the time of the 1860 census, Mary was residing with her mother and stepfather in Jackson Township, Union Co., AR. Her surname was listed as -Hall- on that census. In 1870 she and Charles were residing in El Dorado, Jackson Township, in Union County. Apparently, they lived in Louisiana for a short time, for their first child was born there. Mary was deceased by the time of the 1880 census - widower Charles (39) married next, on April 6, 1880, Union, AR to Vivian Ophelia "Vivie O" Adams Cossart (aka V.Q., widow of Alonza Cossart, 1849-1876) (27), b.

The following wife and children were attributed online to Edward & L.J.'s son Henry, b. c 1840:
Henry Bloxton was born in 1840 in Shelby Co., AL, d. Apr 1880 in Wilcox Co., AL.
More probably, these marriages and children are Henry's brother's, Orion Posey Bloxton (see documentation in attached photo), married Miss P. E. Milner on 17 November 1870 in Dallas Co., AL. According to [email protected], it was also O.P. (not his brother, Henry, as reported elsewhere) who then married Frances "Frankie" Hooks BLOXTON, daughter of C. Columbus Hooks and Dorcas Callen, on 25 January 1877 in Dallas Co., AL.

Lucinda and Edward Bloxton's daughter, Mary, married:
GEORGE W. McGOWEN, farmer and prominent citizen of Wilsonville, is a native of Shelby County, Alabama. He was born October 8, 1834, and is a son of Edward and Priscilla (Bullock) McGowen. Edward McGowen was born in Scotland, and when quite yhoung came with his parents to this country. They, upon first coming to America, settled in North Carolina, remaining there, however, only a short time when they removed to Alabama and settled on a farm near where Montgomery now stands, and engaged in farming and milling. In 1830 they removed to Shelby county, and in 1854 to Texas, where they lived until their death Edward McGowen married in Montgomery, but remained with his parents until after they removed to Shelby county, where he settled down on a farm, remaining there until his death. The mother was born in North Carolina. Her father, Leonard Bullock, was, like the paternal grandfather of Mr. McGowen, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. George W. McGowen is the third of four brothers born to his parents, only one of whom, beside himself, being now alive. This brother is named James, and he was also in the late war. The father of George W. dying when the latter was quite young, and leaving his family in stringent circumstances, George became wholly dependent upon himself, and, although his education was quite limited, like that of most other self-made men, he has so far been successful in accumulating a sufficiency of this world's goods and comforts. In 1859 he married Miss Mary J. BLOXTON, daughter of Edward and Lucinda (PEYTON) BLOXTON, by whom he has had eight children, four of whom are living, viz.: David N., Lulu J., Walter W., and George O. Mrs. McGowen was born and raised in Shelby County, and died in 1888. She was a most devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1889, at Jacksonville, Calhoun County, AL, Mr. McGowen married secondly, Sarah E. Privett, a native of Jacksonville, d/o James and Elizabeth (Aderhold) Privett, both natives of NC. In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, 18th AL Infantry, under Captain Peter Hunley, as a private soldier, and served as such throughout the war. He was engaged in numerous battles, and in the Battle of Chickamauga, received two wounds which compelled him to retire from active service six months. On returning to his company, he was detailed to the ordnance department, in which he remained during the remainder of the war. He was at Resaca, where his duty was to issue ammunition to the soldiers in the field. At Atlanta he also performed the same duty. After the close of the war, being left without property, he began life for himself as a farmer, which honorable vocation he has ever since followed, and his success and prosperity are indicated by the fact that now he possesses 700 acres of land all in good condition for the production of crops. Mr. McGowen stands high in the community as a straightforward, honest and upright man.

Re: Lucinda Jane Bloxton “L.J.” Peyton Gregg
"Hi Donna, Thank you for posting such extensive information on this memorial. I am curious if you have any more information from the letter from W. H. Rollins to Louisa Jane Bloxton's husband, Don Alonzo Sanford. I am particularly interested in how Henry Edward Florey is related.
I am following a theory that HE Florey's mother, Susan Maddox, may be the same person as Benedicta Maddox. From Stafford, VA records we know an Edward Florey married Benedicta. There are then deed records of Edward and Benedicta in 1838 in Shelby, AL. Records in 1851+ show Edward's wife as Susan. Susan's obituary mentions she had 12 children. Edward Florey only had 5 and those five were all born in VA.
There are multiple records of the Florey's and Bloxton's together in Shelby and these letters further bond the relationship between the two. "
