• Notes

  Elizabeth (nee Stockton) Whiteside, a daughter of Davis Stockton and the wife of William Whiteside by Jerry J. Stockton All dates of birth for Davis Stockton and his children are only approximate. It appears that Davis Stockton and his children were born in England. In the 1730s the Davis Stockton family settled in the Ivy Creek area of then Goochland County, Virginia. In 1744 this became Albemarle County, Virginia. They might have also been on the North and South Forks of Mechum's River in the 1730s, however, they are not found there until March15, 1741. The North Fork of Mechum's River became known as Stockton Creek, and the South Fork became known as Stockton's Mill Creek. Elizabeth Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton, married William Whiteside. Davis Stockton is known to have been living in Goochland County, Virginia, by 1737. William Whiteside was living in Goochland County by his March 15, 1741, patent. Davis Whiteside, born about 1741, is thought to be the first children of Elizabeth (nee Stockton) and William Whiteside. William Whiteside and Elizabeth Stockton probably met and married in then Goochland County, Virginia, in about 1740. Virginia Land Office Patent Book No. 20, 1741-1743, pp. 162-164, March 15, 1741. "George the second . . . in Consideration of the Sum of Forty Shillings of good and Lawful Money . . . do Give Grant and Confirm unto William Whitesides One Certain Tract or Parcel of Land containing Four hundred Acres lying and being in the County of Goochland on both sides the South fork Mechums River . . . said William Whitesides . . . the Fifteenth Day of March One thousand seven hundred and forty one In the Fifteenth Year of our Reign . . .

Samuel and William Stockton were sons of Davis Stockton. Adam Goudelock and William Whiteside were sons-in-law of Davis Stockton. Adam Goudelock married Hannah Stockton, a daughter of Davis Stockton. William Whiteside married Elizabeth Stockton, also a daughter of Davis Stockton. Either Henry or Robert Brenton might have been a son-in-law of Davis Stockton. A 1773 record shows "Sarah Branton (late Sarah Stockton)." Michael Woods, Jr., was a neighbor of Davis Stockton. Albemarle County Wills & Deeds Book No. 1, 1748-1752, pp. 348-350, August 14, 1751.
