Robert Newman was born before 1575.1 He married Elizabeth (?) before 1608 at England.2,1
Robert Newman died on 20 January 1656 at Newman's Neck, St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland Co., Virginia, USA.1
;
From Early Colonial Settlers:
http://colonialencounters.org/SiteSummaries/NewmansNeckSummary.aspx
Newman's Neck
The Newman's Neck site (44NB180) is located on land patented by Robert Newman in 1651 as part of the Northern Neck's earliest English settlement at Chicacoan. Situated on the southern shores of the Potomac River in Northumberland County, Virginia between Presley and Hull's creeks, the eight earthfast buildings found at the site included a manor house, kitchen, quarter, cellared building, two barns, and two small outbuildings. These structures are associated with the Neale and Haynie families' occupation, and the occupation of enslaved and indentured individuals and families, from the 1670s to the 1740s. The location of Robert Newman's earlier house has not been discovered. Inventories and a will provide important information about who was resident at the site, their material possessions, and plantation management strategies.
Heath and her students determined that there were two distinct phases of occupation at the site based on the site's landscape and artifact dates. The first phase of occupation (ca. 1670-1725) corresponds with the construction of the house by Daniel Neale and the occupations of Ebenezer Neale and John Haynie
During the second phase of occupation when William Haynie owned Newman's Neck (ca. 1725 to1747), the original barn was dismantled and the well was abandoned. Three new structures were built, including a cellar-set building, a large barn, and a new quarter. The landscape became more complex during this period, with fences subdividing the area around the manor house in a purposefully designed landscape.

Situated on the southern shores of the Potomac River in Northumberland County, Virginia between Presley and Hull's creeks, the eight earthfast buildings found at the site included a manor house, kitchen, quarter, cellared building, two barns, and two small outbuildings. These structures are associated with the Neale and Haynie families' occupation, and the occupation of enslaved and indentured individuals and families, from the 1670s to the 1740s. The location of Robert Newman's earlier house has not been discovered. Inventories and a will provide important information about who was resident at the site, their material possessions, and plantation management strategies.
Heath and her students determined that there were two distinct phases of occupation at the site based on the site's landscape and artifact dates. The first phase of occupation (ca. 1670-1725) corresponds with the construction of the house by Daniel Neale and the occupations of Ebenezer Neale and John Haynie
During the second phase of occupation when William Haynie owned Newman's Neck (ca. 1725 to1747), the original barn was dismantled and the well was abandoned. Three new structures were built, including a cellar-set building, a large barn, and a new quarter. The landscape became more complex during this period, with fences subdividing the area around the manor house in a purposefully designed landscape.

"The Diskin Family of Old Rappahannock, Essex, King George," by Merrill Hill Mosher, CG, Coos Bay, Oregon; from "McAlister-Parker-Martin-Hood Family," by Judith Wall:
"John Diskin, Gent. (Daniel, Daniel), the eldest child, was still a minor in 1715 when his step-father Robert Elliott as his guardian made bond of 10,000 pounds of tobacco. John lived first in Essex with his mother and step-father. In 1719 John of St. Anne's Parish, Essex County, sold his one hundred acres on the south side of Puemandsend Run gotten from his step-father to George Robinson. On 16117(?jmw) Dec. 1722 he described himself as a resident of Richmond County when selling to John MacKeny and John Roberts for 2400 pounds of tobaco and cask the 100 acre tract acquired by Loyd's will. Just before the sale of this last tract, he was approved for a receiver of tobacco in Richmond county.
"Before July 1723 he moved from Richmond to King George County where he lived on a tract of 104-1/2 acres which he finally purchased in 1724 from James Kay (Key). the land, located between Kays and Dogues Swamp, lies a little way down river from Lambs Creek, and was adjacent to Glebe land, Collo: Corbin's, and Geo. Jones. Diskin held this land until 3 Sept. 1730 when he sold it by deed of lease and release to Samuel Skinker, John Farguson, John Farguson, Jr., and Joshua Farguson were witnesses to the deed. Elizabeth Diskin relinquished her right of dower on 15 September. Although John Diskin did not sell his King George County land until 1730, on 24/25 April 1727 he and Thomas Stribling of Hanover Parish in King George County bought a tract of 434 acres on Croopers Cabin Branch from John Flowrance of Overwharton Parish in Stafford County. In July [Land Patent 4 Jul 1727] of that year he acquired a Northern Neck Grant for 592 acres in Stafford County on Broad Run of Bull Run. [Between the branches of Broad Run and the branches of Bull Run].
"In 1730 Prince William County was formed from the western portions of King George and Stafford counties. The 592 acre grant fell into the newly formed county. Diskin apparently moved almost immediately after selling his King George County tract. He continued to acquire grants from the Proprietor of the Northern Neck.
"He was appointed as inspector of tobacco at Qunatico warehouse and commissioner of peace for Prince William County in 1733. In 1741 he was appointed sheriff of Prince William. John Diskin was a vestryman of Hamilton Parish and also vestryman, churchwarden and parish collector of Dettingen Parish.
"He had accounts at Glassford's Dumfries store in his own name and in the names of his daughters 'Miss Rachel Diskin' and 'Miss Joanna Diskin'. Some of the payments on these accounts were made by hogsheads of tobacco branded with his initials ID (JD) and with the initials IG (JG) which probably were those of his son-in-law James Grant who also made payment on one account by note. He was also a customer at Daniel Payne's Dumfries store.
"He married first, 2 April 1724, to Elizabeth Clark and secondly, 19 June 1755, to Frances, widow of Cornelius McCarty. He married a third time to Agathy (Ayres) Nash, daughter of William Ayres and widow of Thomas Nash. The marriage bond was issued on 14 Nov. 1763 in Richmond County. Thomas Nash had died in Richmond County in 1748, leaving a will naming his widow Agnes, a son Thomas and a daughter Anne.
"Neither John Diskin nor his wife, Agatha, survived long after the marriage. Agatha must have died first since the distribution of her estate includes property distributed to Mr. John Diskin.. He died testate before 1 Oct. 1764. His will was recorded in a now missing Prince William County will book. His estate sale on 22 Oct. 1764 and estate account, 6 Sept. 1769, were not rcorded until 4 Dec. 1787. Bridger Haynie, son-in-law and executor of the estate, was apparently extremely lax in settling the estate and both John Ferguson, husband of Joanna Diskin, and John Jackson, husband of Rachel Diskin apparently had to resort to court action to obtain their portions of Diskin's estate."

"The Diskin Family of Old Rappahannock, Essex, King George," by Merrill Hill Mosher, CG, Coos Bay, Oregon; from "McAlister-Parker-Martin-Hood Family," by Judith Wall:
"John Diskin, Gent. (Daniel, Daniel), the eldest child, was still a minor in 1715 when his step-father Robert Elliott as his guardian made bond of 10,000 pounds of tobacco. John lived first in Essex with his mother and step-father. In 1719 John of St. Anne's Parish, Essex County, sold his one hundred acres on the south side of Puemandsend Run gotten from his step-father to George Robinson. On 16117(?jmw) Dec. 1722 he described himself as a resident of Richmond County when selling to John MacKeny and John Roberts for 2400 pounds of tobaco and cask the 100 acre tract acquired by Loyd's will. Just before the sale of this last tract, he was approved for a receiver of tobacco in Richmond county.
"Before July 1723 he moved from Richmond to King George County where he lived on a tract of 104-1/2 acres which he finally purchased in 1724 from James Kay (Key). the land, located between Kays and Dogues Swamp, lies a little way down river from Lambs Creek, and was adjacent to Glebe land, Collo: Corbin's, and Geo. Jones. Diskin held this land until 3 Sept. 1730 when he sold it by deed of lease and release to Samuel Skinker, John Farguson, John Farguson, Jr., and Joshua Farguson were witnesses to the deed. Elizabeth Diskin relinquished her right of dower on 15 September. Although John Diskin did not sell his King George County land until 1730, on 24/25 April 1727 he and Thomas Stribling of Hanover Parish in King George County bought a tract of 434 acres on Croopers Cabin Branch from John Flowrance of Overwharton Parish in Stafford County. In July [Land Patent 4 Jul 1727] of that year he acquired a Northern Neck Grant for 592 acres in Stafford County on Broad Run of Bull Run. [Between the branches of Broad Run and the branches of Bull Run].
"In 1730 Prince William County was formed from the western portions of King George and Stafford counties. The 592 acre grant fell into the newly formed county. Diskin apparently moved almost immediately after selling his King George County tract. He continued to acquire grants from the Proprietor of the Northern Neck.
"He was appointed as inspector of tobacco at Qunatico warehouse and commissioner of peace for Prince William County in 1733. In 1741 he was appointed sheriff of Prince William. John Diskin was a vestryman of Hamilton Parish and also vestryman, churchwarden and parish collector of Dettingen Parish.
"He had accounts at Glassford's Dumfries store in his own name and in the names of his daughters 'Miss Rachel Diskin' and 'Miss Joanna Diskin'. Some of the payments on these accounts were made by hogsheads of tobacco branded with his initials ID (JD) and with the initials IG (JG) which probably were those of his son-in-law James Grant who also made payment on one account by note. He was also a customer at Daniel Payne's Dumfries store.
"He married first, 2 April 1724, to Elizabeth Clark and secondly, 19 June 1755, to Frances, widow of Cornelius McCarty. He married a third time to Agathy (Ayres) Nash, daughter of William Ayres and widow of Thomas Nash. The marriage bond was issued on 14 Nov. 1763 in Richmond County. Thomas Nash had died in Richmond County in 1748, leaving a will naming his widow Agnes, a son Thomas and a daughter Anne.
"Neither John Diskin nor his wife, Agatha, survived long after the marriage. Agatha must have died first since the distribution of her estate includes property distributed to Mr. John Diskin.. He died testate before 1 Oct. 1764. His will was recorded in a now missing Prince William County will book. His estate sale on 22 Oct. 1764 and estate account, 6 Sept. 1769, were not rcorded until 4 Dec. 1787. Bridger Haynie, son-in-law and executor of the estate, was apparently extremely lax in settling the estate and both John Ferguson, husband of Joanna Diskin, and John Jackson, husband of Rachel Diskin apparently had to resort to court action to obtain their portions of Diskin's estate."

Nancy Nalle1
F, #102956, b. 1796
Father | John Nalle2 |
Mother | Nancy Parker1 b. 1773, d. bt 1791 - 1795 |
Last Edited | 18 Oct 2025 |
Nancy Nalle was born in 1796.1
Nancy Nalle was listed as a resident in John Nalle and Elizabeth Nalle's household in the census report on 6 August 1810 at Bardstown, Nelson Co., Kentucky, USA;
John Nall in the 1810 United States Federal Census
There were two John NALLE's in the 1810 census for Bardstown, Nelson co., KY. However, I seem to have records for three John NALLE's who might have been in Bardstown at this time.
1. John NALLE (1766-1811) - son of Francis and Anne (GATEWOOD) NALLE
2. John NALLE II (c1728-1817) - son of John and Mary (BROWNE) NALLE
3. John NALLE III (1755-1828) - son of John II and Elizabeth (PARKER) NALLE
Four NALLE households are listed on p. 36 of the 1810 federal census:
Line# Name
9 John (Jr.)NALLE
10 John (Sr.)NALLE
11 WilliamNALLE
37 James F. NALLE
Based on the apparent lack of a spouse for the John in this listing, I believe that this is more likely to be the John #1, above (the son of Francis and Anne (GATEWOOD) NALLE). If John #1 was a widower by this time, the women in his household could be an adult daughter or daughter-in-law and her three daughters (his granddaughters).
On the other hand, Yancey [1994:48] shows a second wife for this John, an Elizabeth NALLE (1774-1828, dau. of Marting III NALLE 1736-1806). This Elizabeth is reported to have remarried after John's 1811 death and died in Hardin Co., KY in 1828. Thus, if this is the correct John, and if he had a second wife living with him in 1810, the older woman listed could be Elizabeth (NALLE) NALLE. Yancy [1994:49 lists three daughters who would match three of the four young girls enumerated.
Per Yancey [1994:48] :
The William NALLE could be John's cousin, who married John's wife, Elizabeth (NALLE) NALLE) after John's death.

3. John NALLE III (1755-1828) - son of John II and Elizabeth (PARKER) NALLE
Four NALLE households are listed on p. 36 of the 1810 federal census:
Line# Name
9 John (Jr.)NALLE
10 John (Sr.)NALLE
11 WilliamNALLE
37 James F. NALLE
Based on the apparent lack of a spouse for the John in this listing, I believe that this is more likely to be the John #1, above (the son of Francis and Anne (GATEWOOD) NALLE). If John #1 was a widower by this time, the women in his household could be an adult daughter or daughter-in-law and her three daughters (his granddaughters).
On the other hand, Yancey [1994:48] shows a second wife for this John, an Elizabeth NALLE (1774-1828, dau. of Marting III NALLE 1736-1806). This Elizabeth is reported to have remarried after John's 1811 death and died in Hardin Co., KY in 1828. Thus, if this is the correct John, and if he had a second wife living with him in 1810, the older woman listed could be Elizabeth (NALLE) NALLE. Yancy [1994:49 lists three daughters who would match three of the four young girls enumerated.
Per Yancey [1994:48] :
"John Nalle's second marriage is believed to have occurred in 1795 to his second cousin Elizabeth Nail of Scott Co., Ky. (NFA#B4B3). She was the daughter of Martin and Winnefred (Yancey) Nail 6 (Martin, Martin). In a lawsuit in Franklin Co., Ky., Circuit Court "Elizabeth Nail" was named as one of the "heirs" of Martin Nail, and "John Nail her husband" was identified."
The William NALLE could be John's cousin, who married John's wife, Elizabeth (NALLE) NALLE) after John's death.
