His estate was probated on 15 April 1805 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.⁸

      ;
Per Yancey [1994:45]: "Charles was apparently the oldest son of Lewis Davis 8c Winifred K. Yancey. He married Caroline Elizabeth Powers who is often referred to as "of Eastern Virginia". There is an "Ensign" Yancey of Culpeper County recorded as having served in the French and Indian Wars. Although there are conflicting reports concerning this "Ensign" Charles it would seem most logical to think that he was the son of Lewis Davis Yancey. In an indenture made in 1780 between Charles and his father, he was granted the land upon which his father had lived. Charles & his wife seem to have lived upon this tract of land all their life. In 1805 he died after leaving a will which is found among the Culpeper County records. Both Charles & his wife were buried on the Yancey estate in Culpeper and tombstones still mark their graves."⁶

     Elizabeth Yancey was born circa 1730 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.¹
Elizabeth Yancey died after 1778 at Virginia, USA;
Date from Vaughn [1986:24].
Per Yancey [1994:44] and Vaughn [1986:24] "Never married."^1,2
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:44-5]: "Elizabeth seems to have been the oldest child of Lewis Davis and Winifred Kavanaugh Yancey. Spotsylvania County records show that Elizabeth's grandfather, Philemon Kavanaugh, deeded to her 100 acres of land adjoining land he had given to her mother, Winifred (this was shortly before Philemon Kavanaugh passed away and while Elizabeth was still an infant). It would seem that Elizabeth did not marry and she was not mentioned in her father's will (many have assumed that she was the Elizabeth recorded as a witness to Lewis Davis Yancey's will and that the reason that she was not recorded in the will itself was probably because she had already been taken care of previously and was well off due to what her grandfather Kavanaugh had deeded her). Recently, however, deed records have been found which indicate that Elizabeth died about the year 1752 without leaving any descendants."³

     John Yancey was born circa 1734 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.² He married Mary Layton, daughter of Jacob Layton and Frances (?), between 1753 and 1758 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.²

John Yancey died after 1790 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.²
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:46]: "Information concerning John Yancey is scant. He is known to have been involved in the French and Indian Wars. Records indicate that he married Mary Layton - the daughter of Jacob and Frances Layton (records are inconsistent as to the year). He is known to have settled in Augusta County sometime before 1774. Most genealogical reports show him as the father of five children. Research being done currently, however, would indicate that he probably had more children, and grandchildren, than have been commonly attributed to him in most genealogical reports. To date, virtually nothing is known concerning his death. The last known record referring to John, is a deed from Culpeper County records dated 1790 which gave 400 acres to his sons Layton and Ludwell."²

     Philemon Yancey was born circa 1735 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.^3,2 He married Unity (?) circa 1754 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.^3,2

Philemon Yancey died circa 1787 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.³

His estate was probated in February 1788 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA,
;
Per Yancey [1994:46-7]: "About the only other record available is an inventory of his estate which was taken in February of 1788 in Culpeper County after his death."³
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:46-7]: "Very little is known concerning Lewis Davis Yancey's son Philemon. He is known to have been living near his father Lewis in 1766 - as deed records indicate. About the only other record available is an inventory of his estate which was taken in February of 1788 in Culpeper County after his death. Most genealogical reports record his two sons (Lewis & Philemon) - but it would seem he may have had other children."³

     Lewis (Davis?) Yancey Jr. was born circa 1737 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.^2,3 He married Winifred Henrietta Faver, daughter of John Faver and Isabella Randolph, circa 1758 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.²

Lewis (Davis?) Yancey Jr. died between 6 October 1784 and 18 October 1784 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA;
Per Yancey [1994:47]: "He is known to have died the same year his father passed away as Culpeper County records show his will to have been dated and proved in October of 1784. This would have made him about 47 years of age and would make one wonder if he died of a sudden illness or an accident."^2,3

His estate was probated on 18 October 1784 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.³

      ;
Per Yancey [1994:47]: "Generally only referred to as Lewis Yancey it is thought that his name was Lewis Davis Yancey Jr. He married Winifred Henrietta Faver who was the daughter of John 8c Isabella Randolph Faver. He is known to have died the same year his father passed away as Culpeper County records show his will to have been dated and proved in October of 1784. This would have made him about 47 years of age and would make one wonder if he died of a sudden illness or an accident."²

Lewis (Davis?) Yancey Jr. left a will on 6 October 1784 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA;

     Nancy Winifred Yancey was born circa 1742 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.² She married Martin Nall, son of Martin Nall and Isabell (?), circa 1766 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.²

Nancy Winifred Yancey died between 1793 and 1800 at Kentucky, USA;
Per Yancey [1994:48]: "Winifred seems to have died sometime between 1793 and 1800 when the census was taken."²
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:48]: "In most records her name is recorded simply as Winifred. She is known to have married Martin Nail (son of Martin & Isabell Nail) about 1766 in Culpeper County. Martin was quite actively involved both in the French and Indian Wars and also the Revolutionary War for which he was granted land. Martin 8c Winifred moved with their family sometime after their marriage to Augusta County, Virginia where they built a home near the town of Shenandoah and lived there until about 1782. In this year they seemed to have movedto Kentucky where Martin was to receive land grants amounting to more than 4800 acres. The family finally settled in what is at present Scott County, near Georgetown where they both probably lived out their lives. Winifred seems to have died sometime between 1793 and 1800 when the census was taken. It is thought that Martin Nail may have remarried Winifred's sister Ann Eleanor who had been widowed after marrying William Nail (Martin Nail's brother) - as one biography of Martin gives his wife's name as Ann.
CHILDREN OF MARTIN & NANCY (YANCEY) NALL

     Ann Eleanor Yancey was born circa 1744 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.³ She married William Nall, son of Martin Nall and Isabell (?), circa 1765 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA,
;
Possibly her 1st of 2 husbands (brothers). Per Yancey [1994:48-9]: "It is thought that Martin Nail may have remarried Winifred's sister Ann Eleanor who had been widowed after marrying William Nail (Martin Nail's brother) - as one biography of Martin gives his wife's name as Ann...Usually just called Ann, this daughter of Lewis Davis Yancey married William Nail (son of Martin 8c Isabell Nail and the husband of Ann's sister Winifred)...It would seem that Ann Eleanor may have remarried her brother-in-law Martin Nail (after her sister Winifred had died about 1793) - but no records have been found to verify this."⁴ Ann Eleanor Yancey married Martin Nall, son of Martin Nall and Isabell (?), after 1793
;
Possibly her 2nd of 2 husbands (brothers). Per Yancey [1994:49]: "It would seem that Ann Eleanor may have remarried her brother-in-law Martin Nail (after her sister Winifred had died about 1793) - but no records have been found to verify this."
Ann Eleanor Yancey died after 1807 at Scott Co., Kentucky, USA;
Per Yancey [1994:49]: "She may be the Ann Nail listed on the tax records of Scott County in 1807. Little is known concerning her death."⁵
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:48-9]: "Usually just called Ann, this daughter of Lewis Davis Yancey married William Nail (son of Martin & Isabell Nail and the husband of Ann's sister Winifred). Sometime before 1774, the couple seems to have moved with their family to Augusta County, Virginia where they settled near the town of Elkton. Later this area was taken to form Rockingham County. Here, William Nail, like his brother Martin, was quite actively involved in the military during the Revolutionary War. He also served as Sheriff. He seems to have moved back to Culpeper for a short time after the death of his parents. Then, about 1791 he seems to have taken his family to Woodford County, Kentucky where he was granted over 4,000 acres of land. His name appears in Scott County, Kentucky records as this county was formed from part of Woodford in 1792. He seems to have died about the year 1796 probably in Scott County - but no will has been found. It would seem that Ann Eleanor may have remarried her brother-in-law Martin Nail (after her sister Winifred had died about 1793) - but no records have been found to verify this. She may be the Ann Nail listed on the tax records of Scott County in 1807. Little is known concerning her death."

Ann Eleanor Yancey and William Nall lived before 1774 at Elkton, Augusta Co. (the), now Rockingham Co., Virginia, USA.⁵

Richard Henry (I) Yancey was born circa 1748 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.²
Richard Henry (I) Yancey died in 1804 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA;
Per Yancey [1994:49]: Will found in Culpeper Co.²
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:49-50]: "Richard Henry Yancey, usually just recorded Richard, married Judith Agatha Field, the daughter of Abraham Field of Culpeper. Not much is known concerning his life. A few reports refer to him as Captain Richard Yancey, but no documentation of any military involvement has been discovered. One record, however, shows him being paid for six hundred pounds of beef furnished toward the cause of the American Revolution in 1781 in Culpeper. He died in 1804 as is recorded by his will found in Culpeper County records which referred to his four children.

     Capt. Robert Yancey married Elizaberth Holloway, daughter of John Holloway.³
Capt. Robert Yancey was born circa 1750 at St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.^3,2
Capt. Robert Yancey died on 17 November 1824 at Woodford Co., Kentucky, USA.^3,2
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:50]: "Lewis Davis Yancey's son Robert Yancey was actively involved in the military during the Revolutionary War. He progressed all the way from a Quartermaster in 1776 to a Captain in 1779. He was at one time held prisoner by the British. Robert Yancey was one of the original members of the Society of Cincinnati. This military society was established in 1778 by various officers of the Continental Line and its first president was George Washington. To this day, Robert is still represented in the society by descendants. Robert Yancey is recorded as having married one Elizabeth Holloway. No genealogical reports to date have recorded her parentage but it would seem that she was definitely related to the family of one John Holloway of Caroline and Spotsylvania Counties (possibly a daughter). Robert and Elizabeth were early immigrants to Kentucky where Robert had received land grants for his service rendered during the war. They settled near Versailles where the family is recorded as living according to the 1810 Federal census. The census records the family as composed of eight members and shows them as owning a farm and five slaves. Robert applied for a war pension in 1818 from Woodford County, Kentucky when he was 68 years old. The pension records are on file in the National Archives. He passed away a few years later. Little is known concerning the death of his wife - but it would seem to have occurred several years before Robert's death.

     James Yancey was born circa 1752 at Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA.² He married Elizabeth/Abigail Cudworth, daughter of Benjamin Cudworth and Mary Little, in 1777 at Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA.²

James Yancey died circa 1787 at South Carolina, USA.²
      ;
Per Yancey [1994:51]: "James is thought to be the last child of Lewis Davis & Winifred Kavanaugh Yancey. He also was actively involved in the Revolutionary War. Family records refer to him as "Major" James Yancey. The D.A.R., however, has only been able to document him as a corporal in General Greene's Southern forces. It may have been while part of General Greene's forces that he first traveled to South Carolina. He seems to have done quite a little bit of traveling. Most records concerning James record him as going to Charleston, South Carolina and there marrying a Miss (Elizabeth?) Cudworth in 1782. More recent research has shown that during the late 1770's and early 1780's he was found living in (or traveling through?) the eastern states of New York and Massachusetts. Records indicate that he became closely associated with the Cudworth family of Massachusetts and records of Boston record him marrying in 1777 one Abigail Cudworth (daughter of Benjamin 8c Mary Little Cudworth of Scituate, Massachusetts). The conflicting information concerning his marriage has not yet been resolved. He seems to have been involved in the merchant business and records indicate that he may have supplied the Revolutionary Army with food and various necessities. He also is recorded as being the head of a Committee of Safety. He later returned to Charleston South Carolina where he practiced as a lawyer and was involved in the political and public affairs of the area. He seems to have instilled in his descendants a taste for politics and public affairs as both of his sons were involved in Law and politics and it was his grandson, William Lowndes Yancey, who is probably the most famous of the entire Yancey clan, being a great politician, orator, and secessionist known as the "Fiery Orator" of the South. James and his wife both seem to have died at an early age leaving two infant sons.
CHILDREN OF JAMES YANCEY:

     James W. Yancey died before 10 March 1805;
Per Yancey [1994:45]: Died young. Per Vaughn [1986:33]: "James W. Yancey, died young, before his fathe,r Charles made his
will [1805]. Therefore he was not named as one of the legatees."¹
