1a. Rawleigh TRAVIS (Rev) married Hannah BALL (sister of Mary BALL mother of
George Washington
2a. Mary Travis/Travers married Nicholas Haile in 1649. Mary died about 1671
Nicholas was born about 1628 and died in 1676
Hannah Ball who married Rawleigh Travers Jr. (son of Rawleigh Travers Sr.) was born ca 1683. That is gonna make it a tad difficult for her to be the mother of Mary who married Nicholas Hale as the children of Nicholas Hale I were all born prior to 1660. Nicholas Hale I was dead by 1670. Mary his wife was dead by March 1671/2. Rawleigh Travers Sr. married Elizabeth (surname not known) who had married 1 Thomas Stephens. "On 17 Nov 1654 in Lancaster Co., Virginia, Thomas Stephens, late of this colony died intestate and Elizabeth Stephens, his relict, was granted administration of his estate by the Governor." That means that ALL the children of Rawleigh Travers Sr. and Elizabeth were born AFTER 1654. Soooo, once again, it would very difficult for Rawleigh & Elizabeth to have a daughter Mary (who is never mentioned in any of the Travers records) who could marry and have children born BEFORE 1660.
How is Hannah TRAVERS related?
Hannah TRAVERS was born about 1690 in Virginia. Hannah married John CRUMP about 1715 in Virginia. John CRUMP left his will 23 Jun 1746 in Hamilton Parish,
Prince William County, Virginia. (See their family below)

How is Hannah TRAVERS who married John CRUMP?
Ancestors of Jim Burgess
I have been following the TRAVERS and related families for some time with interest. Linda Lawhan has done considerable research on the TRAVERS family and provided me with the following as I asked the same question:
Notes to follow provided by Linda Lawhan: (Travers Researcher)
The Hannah who married John Crump is claimed to be the daughter of John
Travers -- oldest son of Rawleigh Travers Sr.
Concerning William Travers--there was William who married Rebecca ___ who m2 John Rice. Elizabeth, wife of Rawleigh names this William as "cosin" in a document giving him POA. So far, the relationship between Rawleigh and William has not been established. We do not think they were brothers -- but they could have been cousins -- or uncle and nephew-or William might have been a son by a first wife but in that case I think Elizabeth would have called him something other than cosin (probably son in law).
John CRUMP and Hannah TRAVERS
1a. John CRUMP was born about 1690 in Virginia. John married Hannah TRAVERS
about 1715 in Virginia. His will is found in Hamilton Parish, Prince William
County, Virginia dated 23 Jun 1746.
Children of John CRUMP and Hannah TRAVERS
2a. Elizabeth CRUMP was born 19 OCT 1717 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County,
Virginia. Elizabeth married William BLACKWELL (Capt) about 1734. Elizabeth died about
25 Apr 1801 in Fauquier County, Virginia.
2b. Mary CRUMP was born about 1719 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
Mary married a Mr Middleton about 1739 in Virginia.
2c. John CRUMP II was born 21 Aug 1720 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
John married Elizabeth "Betty" TRIPLETT about 1740 probably in Prince William County,
Virginia.
2d. Hannah CRUMP was born 11 Jul 1723 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
Hannah married Thomas TRIPLETT about 1740.
2e. Susannah CRUMP was born 11 July 1723 in St Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia.
Susannah married James HEWITT about 1744 probably in Prince William County, Virginia.
2f. Benjamin CRUMP was born about 1726 probably in Northumberland County, Virginia.

2g. George Crump was born about 1726 probably in Northumberland County, Virginia
2h. Joseph CRUMP was born about 1731 probably in Northumberland County, Virginia.
First -- Giles was the son of Rawleigh Travers and wife Elizabeth. Elizabeth (maiden name NOT known) was first married to Thomas Stephens. She did not marry Rawleigh until "after" Nov 1654 at which time there was this: "On 17 Nov 1654 in Lancaster Co., Virginia: Thomas Stephens, late of this colony died intestate and Elizabeth Stephens, his relict, was granted administration of his estate by the Governor." It is my estimate that Giles was probably born no earlier than 1658 -- and I think more likely around 1662. He was not the oldest son. Giles' daughter, Elizabeth, the supposed mother of said child born ca 1655, was probably born close to 1700. She was married and had one child when her father wrote his will in 1717. After John Cave died -- Elizabeth married Lewis Elzey -- who was born ca 1702. They had three children; William b. ca 1722 m. Elizabeth Blackburn; Mary m. William West; Elizabeth m. William Hancock. Elizabeth, the daughter of Giles, did not have a daughter named Mary Cave. She had one son by John Cave and this child died young -- explained in a deed when the land of John Cave willed to his son reverted to a brother of John Cave.

Yes I received. I have some of the names you have. I have Ellen Heale m. 20 Dec. 1736 to Moore Fauntleroy and David Ball. D/o Capt. George William (Nicholas) Heale and Katherine Chinn. I have Ann Glascock m. John Tarpley. d/o Thomas Glascock and Ann Nicholas (notes on Ann)
1714 Anne Glasscock makes her will and leaves several items for her grandchildren and her daughter Anne Tarpley, 3rd wife of Capt. John Tarpley.

He was also married to sister Elizabeth
I also have Downman in my lines. My direct lines are Wilson, Chinn, Travers, Tarpley, Sydnor, Allerton. I am in the process of certifying my Mayflower lineage. I have two marriages to certify and I'm done.
In reading your papers, I had Mary Glascock, d/o Thomas and Ann Nicholas, married to Unknown Hipkins. So it appears that we are connected. Janean
Jim, I descend from Travers Tarpley and Elizabeth Sydnor (s/o John Tarpley and Elizabeth Travers) of John Tarpley and Elizabeth Glasscock) I also descend from Alice Smoot and John Chynne (Chinn) d/o William Smute (Smoot) and Grace Wood.
I am also interested in this Goodridge name. My John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn (d/o Rawleigh Chinn) had a child with the middle name of Dodridge. I cannot account for that name in either family, of course I have no information on the earlier Wilson's. I have seen Goodridge in many of my research on these associated family names and am now wondering if Dodridge is in fact Goodridge. You know how transcribing can be misread.
In the will of Rawleigh Chinn there is this
One interesting and unexplained bequest was to an Elizabeth Nichols who received "use of land" conditioned on her remaining unmarried, and her daughter Cilla Nichols who received livestock and household goods
I would be interested in what you have on the Chinns. My brick wall is John Wilson h/o Elizabeth Travers Chinn. I believe based on the naming order they used back then that his father is William. I recently received an abstract stating that John Wilson and wife Elizabeth "Betsy" sold land in 1816 near Hopewell. I am awaiting a copy of the deed. It is noteworthy, that in 1815 Elizabeth's father, Rawleigh willed her 65 acres of land, and then in 1816 we find a deed of John Wilson and Elizabeth selling land. I also found an old posting where someone listed several names, I believe Smoot and Ball were in there, as well as Wilson, so I inquired. Her Mary Wilson married John Bruin 1789. My John Wilson m. Elizabeth Chinn 1796. Mary Wilson and John Bruin lived near Hopewell. One interesting thing, she knows nothing of Mary's parents but if, she and John Bruin followed the same naming order, then her father would also be William Wilson. I find this interesting. I would be interested in in the Goodridge name associated with these families or if you have anything on Wilson. There is also a middle name of Porter I cannot account for. All of the children of John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn I can account for but Jacob Dodridge Wilson (Goodridge) ???? and Samuel Porter Wilson. I cannot account for the name Jacob either but in a letter written by mom, Betsey, she mentions "your uncle j....." and it was unreadable. I'm betting on Jacob Wilson as a brother of father John's.
