Notes:

The records of Albemarle County, Virginia (Deed Book 1, p. 33) show that on September 8, 1748, Thomas Blakey of the county of Goochland, purchased of William Noland for fifty pounds, two hundred acres of land of Arthur's Creek of Slate River. The Surveyor's Book of Albemarle, 1,107 shows that on December 5, 1749, Thomas Turpin, assistant surveyor, had surveyed for him two hundred acres additional which lay adjacent to the purchase made from Noland and he took out a Patent for this tract on September 10, 1755. In 1761 Buckingham County was formed from Albemarle, and thenceforth embraced his residence. He continued to reside here until his death. It was situated near Muddy Creek of Slate River and it is possible the family carried that name with them to Logan County, Kentucky, where Muddy Creek was likewise found near their residence.

Thomas married Ann HADEN on 12 January 1746 in Goochland County, Virginia. Ann (daughter of Anthony HADEN and Margaret DOUGLAS) was born on 7 Nov 1724 in Fluvanna County, Virginia; died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Joseph Anthony Sr. served in the Revolutionary War by giving supplies to the cause (DAR National #67511). A list of the supplies may be found in the records of the Clerk's office by C. B. Bryant, Martinsville,Virginia, and from Henry County and Its Formation, 1777. It is said that the Tories cut off his silver knee buckles for his activities.
Joseph Anthony, Sr., owned considerable land, having patented over 4,000 acres in Hanover County (formerly New Kent), Virginia, in his own name by 1739. His will is of record at Martinsville, Henry County, Virginia, and indicates a very comfortable fortune for those days. He was a planter and merchant.
His marriage to Elizabeth Clark produced 15 children. Joseph's religion is not known, but his wife was a devout Quaker (her mother's family, the Johnsons, were very active in Quakerism) and preached.

Joseph married Elizabeth CLARK on 22 Apr 1741 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Christopher CLARK and Penelope JOHNSON) was born on 15 Feb 1721/22 in Hanover County, Virginia; died in 1825 in Henry County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Elizabeth lived to be over 100 years old. After the death of her husband, she and some of her children migrated to Wilkes County, Georgia. She became a Quaker preacher after making many trips back and forth between Georgia and Virginia on horseback. A woman who had 15 children, traveled back and forth between the states on horseback preaching the gospel, and lived to be over 100 years old deserves lasting reverence and respect. She returned to Virginia to be with relatives prior to her death.
