From Delph book by Laura Lee Moncrief, pg. 43:

William and his father Daniel Delph, left Grayson County, VA about April 3, 1834 after the Commonwealth of Virginia indicted William for passing counterfeit money. William and Daniel Delp had both appeared before the Grayson County Court, April 2, 1834 but apparently did not hang around for the trial the next day. William Delp failed to make his personal appearance before the Judge of the Court of Law and Chancery.

Footnote 237, p. 43: ...According to Sarah Eppard in a letter to this researcher February 23, 1983, "Most of the mountain men before the Civil War were not too concerned about obeying Federal laws. There were citizens of their states and only incidentally a citizen of the United States. An they felt very little loyalty to the United States, which they considered to be mostly despised Yankees. Counterfeiting and moonshining were illegal but not socially unacceptable to their friends and relatives."
 
Delp, William P. (I874)

From Delph book by Laura Lee Moncrief, pg. 43:

William Delp was listed on the 1830 Personal Property Tax list of Grayson County, VA with 112 acres of land on Middle Fox Creek. William had purchased this land from his father-in-law, Josiah Tigner, March 1829.

Footnote 235: Grayson Co., Virginia Book 5, p. 419. Josiah Tigner and Anney his wife were of Russell County, VA at the time. This land is about 27 miles from the courthouse. William Delp paid tax on this land and on 1 horse though March 5, 1834. This is the last time William paid taxes on this land as he lost it to the Commonwealth of Virginia after failing to appear at his Superior Court counterfeiting trial.

William Mullins

fr: Plymouth Colony, Its History & People, pg. 1130:

A 1620 Mayflower passenger, William Mullins came from Dorking, County Surrey, and he brought his wife Alice, his children Joseph and and Priscilla, and his servant Robert Carter, with him. Mullins died 21 February 1620/21 (MD 30:3). His will (MD 1:230) shows that he also left a son William and a married daughter Sarah (Mullins) Blunden, in England, and in George E. Bowman's The Estates of William2 Mullins and His Daughter Sarah3 (Mullins) (Gannett) (Savill) Faxon and of Her Three Husbands (MD 7:37, 179) shows that William2 came to Plymouth Colony sometime after his father's death. From the probate documents it appears that granddaughter Sarah left no descendants, and the only proven Mullins descendants living today are via daughter Priscilla, who married John Alden. Though Bradford wrote that Mullins, his wife, his son, and his servant all died during the first winter, Bowman shows in MD 1:230 that the wife and son must have been alive when the Mayflower set sail again for England in April 1621, but died before the arrival of the Fortune in November 1621. Bradford called him "Mr. William Mullins," and [p.332] he was one of the more prosperous of the original settlers. (See also Robert S. Wakefield, "William Mullins's Grandchildren in England,") MQ 39:83.

* * * * *

A cobbler in Dorking, Surrey, England, William was born about 1572 This date is estimated from parish records of his parents' marriage, Johyn Mullyns and Joan Bridger who married 8 Jul 1571, in Dorking; however, birthdate estimates vary, ranging from 1568 to 1578. In 1613, William bought a one-and-a-half acre parcel of land in Dorking with a house and outbuildings between West Street and Back Lane (now Church Street) for ò2 and took over a mortgage of ò00. He sold this to Ephraim Bothal in May 1619 for ò80 (fr: Dorking pamphlet).

On 29 April 1616, a warrant was issued to bring "one William Mollins before their Lordships." On 1 May he appeared before the Privy Council and was continued technically in their custody "until by theire Honours' order hee be dismissed." While the reason for his arrest is not given, it was most probably associated with the religious controversies of the time. The fact that he was a Dissenter may explain why William Mullins' marriage record is not found in the Parish Register for Dorking, nor are the baptisms of his children.

William Mullins sailed on the Mayflower Sept 6, 1620 with wife Alice _______, (poss. maiden name of Attwood or Portiers not supported by any known records), children Joseph and Priscilla and manservent Robert Carter, all of whom appear on the original Mayflower Passengers List. William also brought over 250 shoes and 13 pairs of boots, being a shoe and boot dealer.

He died 2 April 1621. His original will has survived, written down by John Carver the day of Mullins' death. In it he mentions his wife Alice ____, children Priscilla and Joseph, and his children back in Dorking, William Mullins and Sarah Blunden. He also mentions a Goodman Woods, who has not been identified, and a Master Williamson, who some have speculated is a Dutch pseudonym for William Brewster who was a fugitive at the time (for printing illegal religious pamphlets in Leyden). It was witnessed by the Mayflower's captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower's surgeon Giles Heale, and Plymouth Colony's Governor John Carver.

The following is taken from The Great Migration Begins-- Sketches, PRESERVED PURITAN:
[William Mullins'] will (probably nuncupative), was dated 2 April 1621 and proved July 1621; [Mullins'] will directed that from the ô0 in the hands of Goodman Woodes "I give my wife ñ0, my son Joseph ñ0, my daughter Priscilla ñ0, and my eldest son ñ0, also I give to my eldest son all my debts, bonds, bills (only that ô0 excepted in the hands of Goodman Wood) ... with all the stock in his own hands"; to "my eldest daughter I give 10s. to be paid out of my son's stock"; "the goods I have in Virginia as followeth, to my wife Alice half my goods & to Joseph and Priscilla the other half equally divided"; "I have twenty-one dozen of shoes and thirteen pair of boots which I give into the Company's hands for ô0 at seven years ... or as my overseers shall think good"; "and if they like them at that rate at the divident I shall have nine shares whereof I give as followeth, two to my wife, two to my son William, two to my son Joseph, two to my daughter Priscilla, and one to the Company"; "if my son William will come to Virginia I give him my share of land"; to "my two overseers Mr. John Carver and Mr. Williamson, 20s. apiece to see this my will performed desiring them that he would have an eye over my wife and children to be as fathers and friends to them, also to have a special eye to my man Robert which hath not so approved himself as I would he should have done" [MQ 34:10; Waters 254-55; MD 1:230-32 (all citing PCC 68 Dale)].

The only member of the Mullins family to survive that first winter was the young and fair daughter, Priscilla. Priscilla was taken in by the William Brewster family after the death of her family, and in 1623 married John Alden, in the first wedding held in the new colony.

William P. DELP & Roxie TIGNOR
Joyce Willhoit ( View posts) Posted: 10 Aug 1998 8:00AM
Classification: Query
Roxie TIGNOR married William P. DELP on 24 Jul 1821 in Grayston County, VA. Eleven children; four of them married KYLE children making four sets of double first cousins: (1) Mary Ann KYLE (b. 1829) m. Daniel DELP (1825-1855). (2) Sarah Jane KYLE (1830-1906) m. Claborn HERD (?-8 Dec 1857); m. 2nd James Henderson DELP (1828-1900). (3) William Madison KYLE (185-1920) m. Roxie Nancy DELP (b. 1839). (4) James Asberry KYLE (1841-1930) m. Sarah DELP (1845-1911). Civil War Years: Four went to serve but only one returned. Father & Son: William P. DELP, and his youngest son, George DELP (age 16) were taken away by bushwhackers in Grayson County, VA. William was released from the Cumberland Gap Prison camp after the war but he never reached home. His burial place and date of death are unknown. George was never heard of again. Son: Ezeikle "Zeek" DELP (b. 1841) is believed to have died at Andersonville Prison along with 12,000 others. Son: James Henderson DELP b. 7 Nov 1827 Grayson County, VA, d. 1900) served in the US Army as a Second LT. from 15 Apr 1862-15 Apr 1965. Roxie (Tignor) DELP was a widow when she moved to Hammond, Ozark County, MO with her son, James Henderson DELP, in February 1888. Mary Ann (Delp) BAKER (1873-1961), her granddaughter, stated: "She died in less than thirty days after arriving in Missouri." Roxie (Tignor) DELP is buried at Isabella Cemetery. Her grave stone shows the date of death as 1888 and the date of birth as 1808, which should have been "1805". Columbus Newton DELP (listed as "A.N." on the grave marker) and his two daughters who also died in 1888 from typhoid are buried just north of Roxie's grave. Roxie's monument is one that was reported to have been bought by her son-in-law, James Asberry KYLE, for his wife's grave about 1911, but he changed his mind and erected it on Roxie's grave and bought a double headstone for his and his wife Sarah's grave. Through marriages and inter-marriages with DELPS, KYLES, DEANS, HASKINS, BAKERS, and others it is impossible to count the realives of Roxie DELP buried in the Isabella Cemetery and other cemetries in Ozark County. The Barren Fork and Little Fork areas are filled with cousins. Descendents of Roxie (Tignor) DELP are now living in the following states: MO, AR, TX, OK, KS, CO, ID, WA, NV, OR, CA, and two providences of Canada. (Source: "A History of Ozark County 1841-1991")

46 WILLIAM MULLINS

ORIGIN: Dorking, Surrey
MIGRATION: 1620 in Mayflower
FIRST RESIDENCE: Plymouth
OCCUPATION: Shoemaker (based on the contents of his estate).
ESTATE: On 23 July 1621 administration on the estate of Williams Mullins was granted to "Sare Blunden alias Mullins filie naturali et legitime dicti defuncti" [Sara Blunden alias Mullins, natural and legitimate daughter of the said deceased] [MQ 34:10; Waters 254-55; MD 1:230-32 (all citing PCC 68 Dale)].
In his will (probably nuncupative), dated 2 April 1621 and proved July 1621, William Mullins directed that from the ô0 in the hand of Goodman Woodes "I give my wife ñ0, my son Joseph ñ0, my daughter Priscilla ñ0, and my eldest son ñ0, also I give to my eldest son all my debts, bonds, bills (only that ô0 excepted in the hands of Goodman Wood) ... with all the stock in his own hands"; to "my eldest daughter I give 10s. to be paid out of my son's stock"; "the goods I have in Virginia as followeth, to my wife Alice half my goods & to Joseph and Priscilla the other half equally divided"; "I have twenty-one dozen of shoes and thirteen pair of boots which I give into the Company's hands for ô0 at seven years ... or as my overseers shall think good"; "and if they like them at that rate at the divident I shall have nine shares whereof I give as followeth, two to my wife, two to my son William, two to my son Joseph, two to my daughter Priscilla, and one to the Company"; "if my son William will come to Virginia I give him my share of land"; to "my two overseers Mr. John Carver and Mr. Williamson, 20s. apiece to see this my will performed desiring them that he would have an eye over my wife and children to be as fathers and friends to them, also to have a special eye to my man Robert which hath not so approved himself as I would he should have done" [MQ 34:10; Waters 254-55; MD 1:230-32 (all citing PCC 68 Dale)].
BIRTH: By about 1568 based on estimated date of marriage.
DEATH: Plymouth 21 February 1620/1 ("February 21. Die Mr. William White, Mr. William Mullins, with two more" [Prince 184]).
MARRIAGE: By 1593 Alice _____ (assuming she is the mother of all the children); she died at Plymouth in the first winter.
CHILDREN:
i WILLIAM, b. say 1593; m. (1) by 1618 _____ _____ [MQ 39:83]; m. (2) Boston 7 May 1656 Ann (_____) Bell [BVR 56], widow of Thomas Bell. (William Mullins was in Duxbury by 1637, died apparently early in 1674, and had a daughter who married three times but had no children [MD 7:37-48, 179-83].)

ii JOSEPH, b. say 1596; d. Plymouth in the first winter.

iii SARAH, b. say 1598; m. by 1622 _____ Blunden.

iv PRISCILLA, b. say 1603; m. by about 1623 JOHN ALDEN.



COMMENTS: In his accounting of the passengers on the Mayflower Bradford included "Mr. William Mullins and his wife and two children, Joseph and Priscilla; and a servant, Robert Carter" [Bradford 442]. In the listing of the fate of these passengers in 1651 he reported that "Mr. Mullins and his wife, his son and his servant died the first winter. Only his daughter Priscila survived, and married with John Alden; who are both living and have eleven children. And their eldest daughter is married and hath five children [Bradford 445].
It has been suggested that he was the William Mullins of Stoke, Surrey, about ten miles from Dorking [English Homes 73-74; Brainerd Anc 217]. This likely identification is aided by a 1616 Privy Council order that may have been a religious trial that motivated William to sell his holding in the Manor of Dorking and emigrate [English Homes 73-74; Brainerd Anc 217-218].
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1994 Alicia Crane Williams published an article on "The Mullins Family" [MD 44:39-44].

48 "John Counts, Sr. was born unknown and died about 1803 in Russell Co., VA. Mary Magdaline Counts was born 1722 and died 25 Jun 1814 in Russell Co., VA. No further information is known on their ancestors although family tradition maintains that John Counts was "Black Dutch"."

From "Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow 1722-1977"

"They moved from Shenandoah Co., VA in 1789 and settled in Glade Hollow, Russell Co., VA."
Same source

Internet msg from Ann H. Stewart (ahstewart@juno.com":
"The Counts family came to VA in 1715 as part of the Germanna settlement. They were from the Palatinate in Germany. The name was originally Kunz, it got mistranslated to Koontz, then Coontz and finally Counts. There's a wealth of stuff about the Germanna settlers, look in Culpepper/Orange Co's."WILL OF JOHN COUNTS
