Russell T. Vawter4, (Richard3, John2, Bartholomew1) Russell T. Vawter, son of Richard Vawter and Frances Towles, was born 22 Jun 1755 in Culpeper Co., VA. In Richard’s will 1 Mar 1803 - 24 Mar 1803, Book I, p. 386, Madison Co., VA 1793-1800- Item, It is my will and desire that my two sons John Vawter and Russel Vawter be satisfied with the part of my estate I have already given them. The Towles family had migrated from Middlesex (Essex) county by 1737 and Richard, his father, left Essex in about 1745 for Orange Co., VA. Orange was divided into Culpeper in 1752 and then into Madison in 1792. Russell left Madison Co., VA by 1795 for North Carolina with his wife and family. Book- Marriage of some Virginia Residents 1607-1800 Vol. II pub. 1986 By Dorothy Ford Wulfeck p. 130 Russell m. bef. 1784, Mary Sparks, dau. of Thomas Sparks and Mary Towles who m. (2) James Smith. Mary Sparks who was born 12 Sept 1757 in Culpeper Co. (Mary (Towles) Sparks -mother of Mary, and Frances Towles- mother of Russell were sisters, so they were related on their mother's side of the family.) A descendant of Russell’s through Beverly is Mrs. W. H. Black, quite elderly but alive in the 1920’s who sent information from an old family Bible over 100 years old at that time to William Snyder Vawter who was updating the Grace Vawter Bicknell book “The Vawter Family in America” pub. In 1905, Hollenbeck Press, Indianapolis, IN. She states she copied the material from the Bible. See Beverly Vawter below for additional material. She states” Russell and Mary Spark were parents name of Nancy Vawter that in a notation in the Bible that Nancy married H. Rigg. And she was about 27 years old when she died. That the Bible was more than 100 years old. She lists the following: Russell Vawter b. 22 Jun 1755 in VA and Mary Sparks b. 17 Sep 1757 were married 25 Jul 1779, died 18 Jan 1828 is listed, since Russell’s adm. of estate is found in 1841, we assume this to be the date of Mary’s death.
