Barb, Thanks for the additional info on Solomon and Polly Picklesimer's marriage. You were looking for the parents of several people, I don't know if there is any connection with the John who married Nancy Huts in 1835, but I got the following 1850 Franklin Co. VA census online on Rootsweb. I guess I neglected to write down the date it was recorded, but it was on pg. 1246, household # 956, family # 952. Becklehimer, John age 40 M farmer Nancy 40 F Abraham 15 M Frances 13 F James 11 M Susan 9 F Sarah 5 F If John and Nancy married in 1835, it's possible that this is them and their children. Of course, it's also possible that there's no connection! Linda
