Surnames: Fitzwater, Valentine Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GdW.2ACIB/191.1 Message Board Post: I just found out a little more about my family. Apparently she went by Elizabeth Fitzwater. She married John Franklin Valentine and they had several children among which as William Franklin Valentine, born Jan 20, 1869 in Highland County, Virginia. He came with his parents and siblings to Arkansas where he married Dosia Mellvina Bryant (1882-1958) on July 19, 1902 in Holland, AR. He died December 29, 1948 in Cabot, AR. I realize this still isn't a lot of information but I am just hoping something will ring a bell with someone out there. Anyway, this rules out the theory that she may have been from Ohio rather than West Virginia. John Franklin Valentine and Elizabeth Fitzwater were by great great grandparents.
