• Notes

  Abstracted from, "The Line of Adolphus Hendrick" , this 28-page monograph can be found the the website... http://www.genfiles.com/hendrick/Adolphus.pdf Rachel Hendrick (c1715? aft1758) She was Rachel "Gillington" in her father’s will. Though the proof is circumstantial, she had married John Gillington (also Gillentine and similar variants), sometime before 1742 at a time when Gillington was living in Amelia County. John Gillington was the only son of Nicholas Gillington of Caroline and later Amelia County, who had a patent in northern Amelia near William Hendrick in 1736.159 John Gillington, who appears frequently in Amelia records beginning with the tithables of 1738, received a gift of 400 acres of the 1736 patent from his father in 1743.160 Rachel was already married to him, for the 23 August 1742 accounting of her brother William Hendrick’s estate shows a payment to Rachel Gillington.161 Though he was still in Amelia in early 1747, by 1748 John Gillington had removed to Lunenburg County, as shown by several deeds disposing of his Amelia land.162 He was apparently living in a 204 acre parcel for which a patent was issued in 1750.163 He appears in the Lunenburg tithables 1748-1750, after which Halifax County was formed. He subsequently appears in Halifax records, notably as a vestryman for Antrim parish and as an accused counterfeiter.164 John Gillington apparently died intestate in late 1762, as his inventory was recorded in Halifax on 20 January 1763.165 Nicholas Gillington outlived his son, leaving wills recorded in both Amelia and Halifax in 1773 which made it clear that John was his only (or at least only living) son.166 Those wills explicitly identify William Gillington as John’s son, and Jerusha Gillington as John’s daughter.
