Posted on: Limestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Limestone/408 Surname: Woodroof, Warwick, Gaston, Hill, Wright ------------------------- Capt/Maj Oliver B[arrett] Warwick of Huntsville b. Dec 1834, attended West Point, married (my great-aunt) Nancy McCrary Woodroof 1 Oct 1884 in Mooresville at the home of her father, "Maj" James W. Woodroof. Ollie & Nannie were stationed at several of the major western forts during the 1880's before she died about 1894. Ollie died on duty at Panay, Phillipine Islands, 26 Nov 1899. I want any information I can find on this couple or on the family of Oliver B. Warwick and his sister, Lila Gaston Warwick. (I don't even know their parents.) Obituaries should be available in any of the local papers, as both families were fairly prominent. I've read that their wedding was something of a social event of Huntsville's 1884 "season." If family members are interested, I can share letters from Nannie to her sister Betty Woodroof Hill in Mooresville. Al Hill
