I am researching the surname RASBERRY.  I have seen it spelled numerous ways, and I wonder if it is a derivative of ROSBOROUGH.  Does anyone know?

Thanks,

Cindy

Thanks, Keith, for the explanation and tip on other places to check.  This couple is a "long shot hunch" that I'm hoping will prove to be another link.

Keith,

Again--thanks so very much for making the effort to find this record for me.  I am in the U.S. and saw the information on ancestry.com, but I wanted to know that it could be verified.

What does the "otp" mean?  I assume "bac" is bachelor and "sp" is spinster.

You've been a great help...

I would so appreciate it if someone could verify a marriage for me.   I'm looking for the marriage of Armstead Taylor to Mary Fortington in Feb. 1781 at Trinity, Ely, Cambridge.

I've seen his name spelled Armsted and her last name as Fortington or Bedington.

Thanks so much! :)

Thank you so very much!  These will at least give me some places to concentrate my search which is more than I had.

Yes, I've tried various spellings--anything vaguely resembling Armstead.

The records from that time are not complete.  The land patents don't usually have ages.  We have to make educated guesses based on poll taxes (if we find them).  The 1790 census for GA doesn't exist.   Many records were burned during the War Between the States in the 1860's.  Also since then, there have been many records lost to fires and floods!

I'll keep searching.  Maybe one day the passenger list for the ship he came on will be transcribed and posted online, and I'll find him.   Or maybe I'll run across someone else researching that family looking for their lost gggggguncle who went to America!

Thanks again for your help.  I am glad I found this site!

Thanks, Sue, this is the same family.  I had the marriage date and the christening dates of the children, but not the birth dates of the parents, nor the burial date of their son.

I have searched passenger lists for their names after 1755 and for Armstead's alone; however, I've had no luck.

An Armstead Taylor received land in Wilkes Co., Georgia in 1785/86.  Then in 1791 an Armstead Taylor died in that same county.  He left a will in which he mentioned only a wife, Mary_.  He didn't mention any children.

I would so love to be able to prove that these three men were one and the same as well as my ancestor.

Are  you researching the Taylor line?  Do you have ancestors who came to America?

Thanks for your help.  I'll be glad to return the favor if I can!

Thanks for these.  They may help at some point.  If I can find out if any of them are related to my John Rasberry (b. 1683) maybe someone will be able to verify the connection.
