Anthony Agee Son of Mathieu Agee and Ann

Anthony Agee Son of Mathieu Agee and Ann Godwin, born in Virginia in 1719-27 (1725, great uncle James Smith record) the exact date of birth is not known, and died there probably at about eighty years of age. He was a man of finest character, and as a citizen he was influential and successful. He was the forebearer of a long line of worth-while descendants, many of whom were and are, prominent and worthy people. His descendants, are scattered all over the United States. We regret that we have not a more complete record of these people, there being many broken lines, yet we have much data on many of them. We hope that furthur efforts may bring forth data on other lines which we do not have at the present time. His children constitute the last twelve of the original "24" and are numbered for 13-24 hereafter in this record. Their genealogy will be found in Part two of this volume.

Birth aga 1726 or 1727 Died at about 80 years old

From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996. Melvin Ross and Rebecca (Smith) Ross--Their Ancestors and Descendants Edited by Norma Meyer pg 508- has Anthony Agee born at manakin Virginia about 1727 and died in 1807 at age 80 years. This book has different birth order for children and some different birth dates. The Agee Register 929.273 Ag 32 al- lists children and their spouses. Parts of this book are on file with Delna Powell and families have not all been extracted to PAF and Ancestral File.

I am getting so tired of spending precious research time fixing the various Agee families. If we could all work together it would be wonderful. It would also be great if we were able to collaberate with each other and if each contributor would leave contact information so we could talk back and forth since we can't get any discussion going here. PLEASE read the above entry that states how the children belong in these two families. Connie Barnum, Agee Researcher and FamilySearch Support Missionary

Anthony was born in Virginia between 1719 and 1729, the exact date notknown, and died there probably at about eighty years of age. He was aman of finest character, and as a citizen he was influential and successful. He was the forebear of a long line of worthwhile descendants, many of whom were and are prominent and worthy people. His descendants are scattered all over the United States. We regret that wehave not a more complete record of these people, there being many broken lines, yet we have much data on many of them.

Huguenot Society Book #7

Don't know where the break is to whose kids belong to who. Figure that 1st wife died in VA btwn 1745-1750; 2nd wife soon after coz Leah was born in 1750.

NOTE : THESE CHILDREN ARE PLACED HERE AS HOLDER ONLY: Buckingham estate records do not exist. Sorting out which child belongs to which son of Matthiew Agee SR has not been done yet. *********** 1 May 1751, Cumberland Co, VA : Anthony Agee m. Christian Worley, dau of John Worley. He was removed from Albemarle Co, VA. See Cumberland Co, VA deed book 1, p. 327 & the will of John Worley, Cumberland Co Will Book 1, p. 149, dtd 22 Mar 1757, prob. 27 Mar 1758. On 11 Apr 1759, Anthony Agee also on deed in Albemarle Co. from Peter Bondurant. In the Virgina Gazette are three Agee: Anthony Agee, 30 Nov 1769 (R 30Nov69, p.33) Isaac Agee, 10 June 1775 (D 10 June 75, p. 42) James Agee, 25 Apr 1755, p.31 and 27 Feb 1772, p.33 Buckingham Co, VA Records: 1764 Tax List : Anthony, Matthew, Matthew (2nd), John, James & Isaac Agee 1787 Tax List : John, Jacob, James JR, James (SR), Isaac Agee 10 Nov 1786 : Petition : James Agee JR, James Agee (SR), Jacob Agee, 17 Oct 1787 : Petition : James Agee SR, Arklus Agee 15 Nov 1794 : Petition : Harculess Agee, Joseph Agee, John Agee, James Agee Land records : Hercules Agee : 1797-1818 Isaac : 1782-1788, Estate 1789 Jacob : 1787-1833 James SR : 1782-1821, estate 1822-1826 James JR : 1783-1840 Jesse : 1793-1799 John : 1788-1817 John JR : 1814-1817 Jonas : 1787 Joseph : 1799-1840 Matthew : 1783-1787 Thomas B. : 1815-1827 Thomas J., son of James : 1814-1819 William : 1810-1819, estate 1820-1834

I don't consider myself the authority on the Agee family, but I have been researching this family for 40+ years (I started very young :-)). I have tried very hard for several years to sort out the two families of Anthony Mathew Agee. Please check the dates, and sources before determining that the data you have in your data base is correct. Please don't make any changes unless you have solid sources and documents that show that changes are needed. Like I said, I'm getting very tired of sorting out this and other Agee families where changes are made and no sorces are referenced.
