Sue, Following are the researchers and their sources as they were sent to me. In addition, for three weeks from June 16th through July 7th of this year, I traveled through several sections of North Carolina and Virginia, (Staunton and Richmond are rich in resources), researching various branches of my genealogy, (I am from Seattle). I have personally viewed several of the documents listed below which proved the information I had collected from the two researchers that follow to my satisfaction. Because the documents I saw were so unerringly presented to me through these ladies, I have every confidence in their accurate depictions of the documents I did not have the opportunity or time to personally view.

As you know, the spelling of names, especially foreign sounding (non-English) names was not the forte of census takers, county clerks, church recorders, headstone engravers or even judges. My husband has the Ballou family in his tree with about ten different spellings and 95% of them are related. I think that is why the National Archives have a “Codex” system. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me. I will be happy to share all that I have, after all, what is family all about. Patricia Barrett Emerson
