I'll bet you can help me. My name is James Alfred Figg III. My grandfather was the Reverend James Alfred Figg, (who, according to his tombstone at Grace Episcopal Church in Bremo Bluff, Va where he was Rector until he died in 1968) was born at "Maycox" in 1891. I made a trip in the Fall to locate "Maycox" and was told by Carol Bowman Marks, Exec Dir. of the Prince George Co Historical Society (and it turns out is a cousin of mine) that the site of "Maycox" is within the James River Federal Wildlife Refuge. I got permission from the Federal Wildlife Dept. to walk thru, the day prior to deer hunting season, and located the cellar hole of "Maycox" (directly opposite "Westover"). I am assuming that the original "Maycox" (Maycocks) was destroyed in the Revolution, having been the model for the Skipwith's "Prestwould" which is a large Georgian Brick house***. Thus the house my grandfather was born in was a later house....I met my cousin Carol Hopkins, who came with me, and we also discovered, the site of "Hawksnest" where the family cemetery of William Henry Figg, married to Susanna Elizabeth Emeline Harrison and their children are buried, the exception being, my great grandfather, William Benjamin Figg, who married Evelyn Fulton Clarke Butts, who are both buried at Brandon Episcopal Church in Burrowsville. I would like to find out more about MY Harrisons and the Butts...... apparently Susanna was born at "Eel Banks" to the west of "Macox" and Evelyn at either "Hatches" or "Blairs" to the east of "Maycox" all adjacent to and/or included in the James River Wildlife Refuge. I have traced Susanna E.E. Harrison Figg thru the "Old Colonial Line" to which she belongs. I see that your mother was Helen Butts, which would lead me to believe that WE are kin also. But it appears that YOUR Harrisons are of the "Presidential Line". If, in fact, you are going to the Butts, Clary, Fenner, Figg annual reunion, I hope to meet you as I am going to try to be there too. I met Kenneth and Ruth Figg on my last trip, he and I are the only Figgs left, I believe, as we both have only daughters. He is my father's 1st cousin, and they would be the same age, my father having died in 1994.
