Notes:

From her father's will: I give and bequeath to my daughter Lucy Sykes two negro's / to wit / Mourning & Lettice to her, her heirs and assigns forever.

Beverly Booth's Bible show she had 2 children, the last in 1781 and the 3rd child was by John Sykes 2nd wife Elizabeth, so this puts her death between 1781 and 1783. Hello again - just a note: Lucy Sykes died June 8, 1838 in Russell Co., Virginia. Hope you find our family information interesting! Paul Sykes

Researching John Sykes, Sr., born Feb. 15, 1749/50 Prince George Co., VA who was referenced in Sussex Co. Deed Book "E" - p. 307, 20 Sep 1774... William Sykes, the Elder, to William Rieves, Jr. for 5 shillings (William Rieves was Security on a bond to John Sykes by Beverley Boothe his guardian for 100 pounds).... land is the College Tenement whereon William Sykes now lives. William Sykes bought the land from Thomas Whitfield. Wit: John Baird, Jr., Frederick (X) Young, John (X) Jean and William (X) Sykes, Jr. Rec: 16 Feb 1775 and 20 Apr 1775. John Sykes' guardian was Beverley Boothe. Beverley Boothe was son of Robert Booth(e) IV of Southampton Co. Beverley's sister Lucy Booth married John Sykes. John and Lucy sold land in Southampton Co. in 1784. John and Lucy's son James married Nancy Jones of Sussex Co. in 1805.

Nancy Jones was the daughter of Howell Jones and Elizabeth Booth (sister to Beverley Booth and Lucy Booth Sykes). Howell Jones died in 1799 / 1800. He was the son of Nathaniel Jones who was the son of Nicholas Jones.

Now -- I am trying to find John Sykes, Sr.'s parents. John was born in Prince George Co. I feel he descended from the Bernard Sykes I line through one of the children of Bernard Sykes II who died in Martins Brandon Parish in 1718. Bernard Sykes II had three sons -- John, who married Frances Wyatt, and died in the 1730's, leaving orphans (names unknown); Richard, who bought land on Jones Hole Swamp in 1730 per Cavaliers and Pioneers; and Bernard III. There also was a Thomas Sykes (father unknown) during the mid 1700s in Prince George Co., Martins Brandon Parish. I feel John Sykes, Sr. possibly descended from the John Sykes and France Wyatt line, if naming patterns from that era hold true. Making the link however has proven difficult. I would appreciate any help and supportive information. Thank you.
