Lydia Atkinson¹

Marriage*

She married Maj. William Witcher Sr. before 1757. Wayne Witcher writes, Unfortunately, the identity of William Witcher’s wife is yet unproven, as not a single record of dower, vestry record, or marriage bond is known to exist. However, family and internet folklore swirls around the names, Ann Major, and Lydia Atkin/son, as women who were married to William Witcher. Again, I have seen no proof that William was married to either of these two women. In fact, the earliest records for Pittsylvania County appear void of any evidence that a family named Majors ever lived in the county. I have not conducted an exhaustive search for the Majors surname, but I have not stumbled across that name in my research. However, families named Atkins and Atkinson were abundant in the area, and court records reveal an obvious relationship between William Atkinson and William Witcher. Since William Witcher bought his first land in Halifax County from a man named William Atkinson, 100 acres of prime riverfront land, for a sweetheart price of five shillings, around the time his first recorded son was born. This all lends credibility to the suspicion that John Witcher’s mother was indeed a woman born an Atkinson. This woman was probably the Lydia Atkinson ancient memories so faintly recall. I highly suspect that William Witcher bought his land in Halifax County from his father-in-law, William Atkinson Sr. Other alleged wives of William Witcher Sr.: > DAR 133 says he "m. --- Majors". > Swann files say he m. Ann Sucard. > M B Smith says he m1 Rachel Anna Majors and m2 Liddy Theodocia Atkinson. > J F Williams says he m. Mary Ann Majors in Apr 1746. > H S Hubbard says he m. Ann Majors. Other alleged children of William Witcher Sr.: > W F Williams adds Polly Thadalia Witcher (?-?).1
