Hi, I just joined this list, and the description says it is also for the surname Brill; I hope that's right! I'm not personally researching the Brill name, but am annotating the 1860 Bath co VA census with maiden names and have been unable to locate a marriage for these folks (this is their 1860 census entry): George Brill 50 m farmer Margaret 35 f John 7 m Lucy 5 f Benjamin 3 m George 9/12 m I'm also unable to locate George Sr. in the 1850 VA census, which might give me a clue of where he married Margaret. From the children's ages, it appears that they married about 1850-53. Does anybody recognize this family, and more importantly, can you provide Margaret's maiden name? Thanks for any help, Holly ------------------- Holly Cochran email: [email protected] Hollyhock Press (publisher of Bath co VA area books) http://id.mind.net/~cochran/hollyhock/
