Marriage Notes for EDWARD FINCH and AGNES BROTHERS:
________________________________________________________________
The following was extracted from John A. Sands Finch Family publication.
In Charles City Co., Virginia an Edward Finch died in 1746 and his wife Agnes died in 1771. I believe that he was probably the son of Edward and Martha Finch of New Kent County, Va. The records of Charles Cy. Co. Virginia are quite complete and indicate the following:
The records of this county for the period 1766 - 1774 page 374 indicate that the will of Agnes Finch was dated Mar. 21, 1771 and probated on July 1, 1772. The estate of Agnes and Edward Finch was not settled until Dec. 25, 1792 according to the will book 1789 - 1808 page 130 for Charles City Co., VA.
This document would indicate that Edward Finch and his wife Agnes had the following children:
1. Daughter married George Marrable
2. William Finch
3. Daughter married William Holdcroft
4. Daughter married Edward Avery
5. Daughter married Benjamin Marrable
6. Adam Finch
7. Daughter married William Thompson
8. Eve Finch married Watson deceased and children mentioned
9. Brothers Finch deceased and children mentioned.
I have additional information on the descendants of only three of the children of Edward and Agnes Finch. It appears to me that Agnes Finch maiden name was probably Agnes Brothers in view of the fact she named one of her sons Brothers Finch. My information on descendants pertains to the sons of Edward and Agnes Finch. This information is as follows:
William Finch number 2 above the son of Edward and Agnes Finch died in Charles City Co., Va. in Nov. 1772. He married Mary Cox the widow of Charles Henry Cox. The Charles City, Co. Will Book 1789 - 1808 page 209 records the disposition of the estate of William Finch. His children were as follows:
1. Lucy Finch married Benjamin Walker
2. Henry Finch
3. Ann Finch married John Crosby
4. Eve Finch married John Stubblefield
5. Judith Finch married Malcom Grant
6. Edward Finch
7. William Finch
8. Frances Finch married John Lamb.
I have no further information on the descendants of this line of the family.

Notes for WILLIAM THOMPSON:
This is a possible lead as to William Thompson, but there is no real connection to establish it.
William THOMPSON S6217 West Tenn. #19113 $285/year issued 2 Aug. 1833.
27 Nov. 1832 Franklin County, Capt. William THOMPSON aged 79 states he was born in Dobbs County, N.C., in 1753 or 1754 but has no record of his age. He volunteered in the early part of the war in the Dobbs County militia under Col. Richard CASWELL. He was a Dobbs County resident. A British Man of War ship was blockading the inlet of Cape Fear, about 40 miles below Wilmington, and the company marched to that area and remained until it was ascertained that the British wanted to blockade only, not land. He volunteered again under Capt. William FELLOW and marched to Bald Head below Wilmington. After some time he volunteered again under Capt. George MILLER, Lt., AXIUM(?) and Col. CASWELL. Marched to Moores Creek Bridge and had a battle with the Scotch Tories. The Tories were defeated, their commanders MCCLOUD OR MCCLERD and MCDONALD were both killed, among others. Only one American, John GRADY, was killed two were wounded. The prisoners were released upon taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. Early in 1779 he enlisted under Capt. Moring and Col. Jonas JOHNSON. Marched with Col. MCDOWELL'S regiment to Augusta, Ga., and attacked the enemy at Stono on 22 June 1779. The enemy was reinforced from the islands near Charleston and the Americans under Gen. Lincoln were repulsed. Affiant was then acting as Quartermaster Willoughby WILLIAMS, the Quartermaster of Col. JOHNSON'S regiment. He encloses his discharge dated 10 July 1779, written by Willoughby WILLIAMS, whose widow married the late Gov. MCMINN of Tennessee. The handwriting is probably known by the Hon. H.L. WHITE of the U.S. Senate. In 1790 he was appointed captain of the militia under Col. William MCKINNEY. His commission is attached. He remained in the service until the close of the war in pursuit of the Tories about the country. The times were so gloomy that many of the principal men and officers, namely Gov. CASWELL, Col. GLASGOW, Col. COBB and others fled for refuge west of the mountains, leaving us to defend for ourselves and the country as best we could. In April 1781 affiant and a small scouting party were attacked in Duplin County, N.C. by a detachment from Lord CORNWALLIS'' army. He was taken prisoner and paroled, after having been robbed of his mare, saddle and bridle by a sergeant of the British Dragoons. The mare was valuable; he heard the sergeant say after taking her that he would not sell for 50 guineas. He resided in Dobbs and Wayne Counties, N.C., until 1796 when he removed to Washington County, Ga. In 1808 he removed from, there to Wilson County, Tenn. In 1818 he came to this county. Rev. Robert DOUGAN and Ellis OLDHAM vouch for THOMPSON.
14 June 1852 Thomas FINCH, administrator of the estate of the late William THOMPSON, appoints Tax W. NEWMAN his attorney. THOMPSON died 1 March 1836.

Karen McClendon Research notes:
Other Finches on VA tax lists-

1783- Charles City; Edw 1&13, Edw 1&4, Henry 1&2- Westmoreland; John 1&1
Major differences between KM info and the book "Lost Links" (LL) are, as follows:
LL shows only 3 sons (1 son is listed as James), versus 5 sons (and James does not appear).
LL states that Adam died 1798, versus 1801.
Additional differences between John A. Sands and both Karen's and LL is:
Sands shows Adam to have been born in Virginia (either Charles City or New Kent counties), rather than England.
Sands shows Adam's wife (and her father) to have the surname "Thomson", rather than "Thompson".
