===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: VAAMHERS-L@rootsweb.com From: MFitzge745@aol.com Subject: Re: [VAAMHERS] Gannaway, Cunningham, Tait, Blauvelt, Mead and Coleman Maurice Gannaway was born at Sandidges, VA in 1899 to Gideon and Minnie Alice (Bowles) Gannaway. The house and farm where he was raised was purchased in 1915 by my g-grandfather George A. Mays when Gideon Gannaway and his younger children moved to Lynchburg. The Gannaway story and other family members are in Vol. I of Amherst County Heritage. Martha Emma Gannaway, sister to Maurice and now deceased, wrote fondly of her family life at Sandidges. Her story is published in Vol. II of the above mentioned book. Lots of Cunninghams in Vol. I of above book but a quick scan did not connect with any of your mentioned names. Robert Tait is mentioned briefly in Vol. I of above book as selling Spring Garden Estate in September 1921. William Coleman mentioned briefly as son of Lindsey and other siblings in same book. I am not connected to any of these families other than currently owning the Gannaway farm at Sandidges/Mt. Pleasant. Marlene M. Fitzgerald
