The Stokeleys were established on the Eastern shore before that region was actually organized into counties. For this reason, the earliest records on Francis Stokeley are not known. The exact date of the arrival of the Stokeleys in Virginia hasn't been established, but by 1634 Francis Stokeley was already living in what is now Northampton COunty. In that year he patented an additional 50 acres for the transportation of a servant. (Nugent's Cavaliers and Poineers, vol 1, page 52)
The two brothers first in Northampton are John and Francis Stokeley.
The will of Francis Stokeley (Northampton Co., Records, D & W. 5, page 83) dated December 12, 1655 and proved on January 28, 1655/6, mentions wife, two daughters (Frances and ANN), son John, a brother John and John's son William Stokeley. The will mentions Francis' wife but does not give her name. His daughter ANN married Henry Towles, who is said to have emigrated from Liverpool to Accomack County (Virginia Magazine, vol 8, page 320)
Francis Stokeley's lands lay in the part of Northampton Co. which became Accomack as is shown by the sale of a portion of the lands of Francis Stokeley, dec. by Francis Stokeley, Jr. (200 acres) to William Curtis 1657.
Ann Stokeley married Henry Towles and their son was Stokeley Towles.
Virginia Family Histories #3, 1600-1800s
Genealogies of Virginia Families, Volume III, Towles and Clark Families, Page 583.
On October 21, 1708, Stokeley Towles married, in Middlesex, Ann (born August 14, 1693) daughter of Claude Vallott, also known as Claude Champagne, who, on October 6, 1684, deposed that he was 35 years old. Vallott's wife was Ann (nee Jenkinson).
Towles' will, of record at Culpeper, made January 15, proved December 15, 1757, named Spencer Bobo and testator's (second) wife Jane executors.
From this will and other records, it appears that he had the following children: I Oliver, II JOHN, born April 5, 1712, III Henry (first),
IV Elizabeth, born December 7, 1716, V Ann, born April 23, 1719, VI Catherine, born July 5, 1721, VII Mary (first), born November 1, 1722, VIII Jane, born February 20, 1726, IX Joseph, born February 23, 1728, X FRANCES, born May 8, 1726, XI Stokely, XII Judith, born April 13, 1735, XIII Lucy, XIV Mary (second), born April 12, 1749, XV Henry (second), born March 15, 1756.
Yes, two named Mary and two named Henry.
FRANCES, daughter of Stokeley and Ann, married Richard Vawter, whose will, dated March 1, 1803, names son-in-law Elijah Wilhoit, daughters, Margaret Breedlove, Lucy Finks, Tabitha Rouse, ANN VAWTER and Alpha Shelton. Frances Vawter's will, dated November 11, 1811, named daughters Alpha Shelton, ANN VAWTER and Nancy Wilhoit. ANN married PHILEMON VAWTER

From the "Biography of Panthea (Sharpe) Allison by her great great grandson:
She was daughter of James and Jane Sharpe, was born in Iredell Co. N.C. August 26, 1789. Her father was one of the early settlers of that county. Panthea married George Allison, the son of William Allison, another pioneer. Children: James, William, Jane, George, Nancy (our line) Joseph, Panthea, Anna, Mary Lovina, an infant, stillborn, and Delia, born 1832.
Panthea may be best remembered for the minute record she kept of the approximately 500 babies she delivered in Iredell Co. between 1818 and 1856, including her own grandchildren.
When her baby Delia and her husband moved to the distant state of Iowa, she went with them, in the summer of 1856, and died there in 1868.
