WARRICK/WARWICK Researcher...

"I have just spent some time on your wonderful web site. Your WARWICK research seems to be extensive, so you might be able to help or direct me in my quest for WARWICK/WARRICK ancestors. I have just started to work on the WARRICK family and find that my ancestor was one Dempsey WARRICK born abt 1777 in Virginia. This was verified by the 1850 Pike Co., Alabama census. I was just recently given a family file for this Dempsey WARWICK/WARRICK that was compiled by a Reverend Arnold McRae. As I understand he had been working on this file for about 50 years. He however list no sources for his findings and he has since passed, so I don't have access to him or his records. He list the following:

• Jacob Warwick 1725-1794 and being in Bath Co. VA, spouse Elsie unknown
• Wiat/Wyatt Warwick/Warrick 1746-1830 born Isle of Wright VA, spouse Jane Dempsey 1756-1790 Bertie Co. NC
• William Dempsey Warrick 1777-1859 Surry VA, spouse Mary Elizabeth (Blackman) Sutton, Duplin NC

I have a pension record Revolution War of this Wyatt Warwick and his 2nd wife Sarah Wilson. Says married 1790 and had no children. Present at the wedding was a son from 1st marriage named John Warrick. That there was also present a Jacob Warrick to which no relation was establised. That there were several children from the first marriage. Based on census records from Wayne Co., NC, I believe that the Reverend is most probably correct that Dempsey's father is Wyatt. I am not finding anything that would suggest that Wyatt's father would be Jacob other than the fact that there was a Jacob at the wedding. There is a Jacob next to Wyatt in Wayne Co, NC (1790) but would be of the age to be a son rather than a father. I can't discount the names here William/John/Jacob, but they may be common names in the Warwick line. I would be willing to bet that Wyatt has another given name but have not seen anything that would say so. Could it be Charles Wyatt? I am just wanting to know if your Warwick research has anything that would give a clue to as to where to go from here. Thanks in advance for any help." -- Louis (Bryant)- Email: louisbryant@peoplepc.com   |  View or Add Comments (7 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
