I went to the National Archives this week and copied down all the Farris (et.al) surnames from the 1880 Virginia census. I have tried to be accurate….but you know how dark those archives are! Anyways, no help for me here, but maybe someone else will find something out. All birthplaces are VA unless otherwise stated in the BP column. The names are in order of given first name of head of household.
