Martin Railey came to Albemarle from Chesterfield in 1806.
He lived on Buck Island, on a farm he purchased from John
M. Perry. He died in 1814. His wife was Elizabeth Mayo,
and his children Daniel M., John M., Lilburn R., and
Catharine, the wife of Anderson Shiflett. Daniel succeeded
to the homestead, Woodbourne, married Lucy Jane, daughter
of John Watson, of Milton, was appointed a magistrate
in 1830, and not long after sold his place, and removed to
Southwest Virginia. His descendants continued still further
West, and some are now living in Missouri. John married
Mary, daughter of William Watson. He died early about
1833. After his death his widow built the brick house on the
north end of Second Street, now the residence of Mrs. J. W.
Lipop. He had four children, all of whom removed from the
county. Lilburn R. was educated at Washington College in
Lexington, married Lucy Jane Burks, niece of John Watson,
was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church, and was
appointed a magistrate of the county in 1838. His home
was on his farm near the Hydraulic Mills, recently owned by
William Nuttycomb. After the war he resided in Charlottesville.
He died in 1893.
