That's my boy Sharon! I was stuck at Isaac, didn't know his middle name and suspected his wife was Eliz. Morgan, but it was more of a guess, looking over the different internet sites. I also thought Thomas was his father but there are Thomas Doswells in Bedford, York & Hanover counties in VA. I want to send for some 29 items(52 images) the VA Historical has, I believe they were donated to them by a Wm Doswell. They want a $20. handling fee $13. for copies of all the images/items. Its a little more than I can afford right now but I will be ordering them soon, I got the envelope all ready. Can you tell me more about the Heritage books, could I find them in a library? Buy them somewhere? Thanks so much, this is a big step in my research!!!!!
