      Abraham Vanhoy b. 1813 Stokes County, NC d. Dec 15, 1846 NC. married Dec 10, 1839 to Nancy Sullivan. His parents James Hamilton Vanhoy// Frances ? b. Dec 1790 he b. Aug 1775

      Abraham Vanhoy b. Jan 6, 1783 to John Vanhoy and Jemima (Marshall?) Stokes County, NC. d. Feb 1859 Henry County, Missouri married Dec 1805 to Verlinda Marshall in Stokes County, NC they came through Martin County around 1846 by Courthouse records. Eventually Settled in Henry Co., Missouri. They had 11 Children none named Abraham.

      Hamilton Jones Vanhoy b. Feb 25, 1819 Stokes County, NC is the 6th child and 3rd son of Abraham Vanhoy and Verlinda Marshall. Information on family of James Hamilton Vanhoy obtained from Opal Tice, and James Harold Vanhoy and Connie Floyd.

      Information on Abraham Vanhoy and Verlinda Marshall family obtained and verified by Verla Hepburn, W.L. Hubka, and Jessie Walsh

      All information was checked through Court Documents, Cemetery Registries, marriage documents.

      Other information obtained from the Grandchildren of Edward Franklin Vanhoy and Grandchildren of William Ashley Vanhoy, all are descendants of Clayton Jonathan Vanhoy and Elizabeth Kirk.

      QUESTIONS CONCERNING Issac Vanhoy b. Abt 1810 ca He was actually born 1806 one of 4 children born to Edward Vanhoy and Ruth ?? Information obtained by W.L. Hubka and Loraine Watt from US> Census of Stokes and Forsyth counties, NC. from 1800-1850.

      In the first 4 generations of Vanhoys there are as many as 6 Abrahams, 2-3 John Marshall Vanhoys, William Vanhoys--Numerous the same with John, Charles, and Clayton Vanhoys. The Vanhoy men had a way of naming their male heirs after themselves, their parents, grandparents, uncles. The Repetitive use of the same name down through the generations is unbelievable. By the way the Name Clayton became popular after Abraham/Abram Vanhoy b. NY 1690 married Susannah Clayton and the name Susanna became popular also right up to present day.

      Sherry, Your Abraham was born 1813 to James Hamilton Vanhoy & Frances ?? and he died in NC in 1846. The Abraham Vanhoy that died in Henry County, Missouri was the uncle of your Abraham and the brother to our ggg grandfather James Hamilton Vanhoy

      One final clarification, the mention of who married Dr. William Walker. That is Elizabeth B. Vanhoy b. Nov 1809 to Abraham Vanhoy and Verlinda Marshall.

      Does this help everyone? If not let me know and I'll see what I can do.

      Sincerely:
      Paul D. VanHoy

      by NW until arriving at what is now known as Brandenburg, KY where they
      boarded a riverboat and down the Ohio to Fredonia, Indiana from there they

      The following person that were once named as children of James Hamilton
      Vanhoy are to be deleted.
      1. Ada Vanhoy supposedly born 1815-1820 she never existed.
      2. James Vanhoy Jr., born 1829 but was not. He is in fact the son of Charles
      B. Vanhoy and Rebecca Greenwell b. 1814 and died late 1870 after the Census
      of Consumption. He is buried at Love Methodist Cemetery in Martin County,IN.
      and his headstone is marked "J.V." only.

      Everybody has been checked and accounted for by either Family records
      supplied to me or Courthouse Documents or a combination of both and or from
      cemetery records and church records.

      The following individuals are to be credited with their assistance in the
      research of this family for without them the truth would never have been known.

      Wade & Betty Hicks descendant of William Clayton Vanhoy
      Bill Mitchell descendant of Addie VanHoy & Lincoln Walton. This Addie VanHoy
      was the d/o Charles B. VanHoy and Rebecca Greenwell.

      Sincerely:
      Paul D. VanHoy Sr.
