Re: Early Virginia Aldays

Lynn,
I believe that Josiah and the John who died
in 1759 were brothers and that their father
was Perrin Allday. The Alldays were first in
Henrico Co. but Perrin moved west to Lunen-
burg Co. and then was in Charlotte Co. after
it was created out of Lunenburg. Perrin's son
Josiah, married in Lunenburg in 1760, Ann,
the daughter of Richard Womack. Of the four
sons of John, Peter died serving in the CL
during the War. John also served but survived
the War if it was he who was in the CL and
not the John who was Josiah's brother.This John's wife was Mary, living in Charlotte Co. at the time of the Revolution.
Benjamin also served in the Revolution. I
have the names of Perrin's three wives if you
would like to have them. His youngest son was
Seth, child of his second marriage, named for
his long time friend, Seth Ward, rather than
his step-father, Seth Hatcher, who married his mother, Elizabeth Perrin Allday when Perrin
was a boy of sixteen. His older sister Sarah
received her share of her father's estate,
but Perrin is not found to have received an
inheritance from his father possibly because of his age at the time and/or his mother's remarriage.
