      Loftis Family of Halifax County, Virginia
      « on: September 17, 2014, 07:54:51 AM »
      I have found the following information on a Loftis family in Halifax County, Virginia during the mid-18th century to mid-19th century.

      The earliest member I have found is Daniel Loftis, born in 1766 in Halifax. Daniel married Nancy Copeland whose parents are also unknown. Nancy was born in 1785. I would guess that they were married in the early 1800's as she was 15 in 1800 and they had at least one child in 1810.

      I only have information on two daughters, Frances and Nancy, both of whom are my ancestors as their children, first cousins, married. I will provide info on them separately in replies to this post.

      Frances Loftis of Halifax County, Virginia

      Frances was born on 14 May 1810 in Halifax, Halifax County, Virginia and died on 27 Aug 1883, still in Halifax. On 11 Apr 1832 she married Grief Green Talley in Granville, North Carolina. Grief Green was born on 04 Feb 1811 and died on 18 Jun 1883. My records indicate they had 14 children, two of whom died in infancy.
