- Anne V. Compton lists her dob as October 28, 1782, but I believe she has confused it with that of her eldest daughter and that Newmann's date of 1759 is more likely. -- LKL
"Daughter of John Partlow, of Spottsylvania Co., Va and mentioned in her father's will dated Dec 11, 1789. John Partlow and wife moved to Va. from the Eastern Shore of Maryland and lived in Spottsylvania Co." -- Newmann, p. 15.
Newmann, p. 17, writes: "It seems the names of Booten and Aylette came into the family through the Partlow wife of James Yates (Luch Partlow), because as shown in family Bible records, those names are carried in that branch of the family. The Aylettes, especially were an important early Virginia family. Colonel William Aylette was an influential member of the Virginia Assembly for many years, while it debated separation from England. One of his daughters married Augustine Washington, and the other married Colonel Fairfax. it was the latter with whom George Washington is supposed to have been in love."
Not having seen the above mentioned family Bible records, it is difficult to judge, but I have always been told that the Booten connection in the Compton family was from the preacher who married Zachariah James Compton and Eliza McKay. But then he could also have been a distant relation!-- LKL
