I don't think that is the case in this family, the census report in W. V. states the children were born in Green Co. Va. , and it was stated by the family that they were born in Amherst Co. Va., is Amherst and Green that close together ? I really have been trying to follow this families footsteps for over two years now , I feel as if I have gotten nowhere.
