I am assuming that all the new from Christmas comupter owners are now up and running and on line. So it would seem that now is a good time to repost my surnames and see if I can connect with anyone. John George married Sarah Housden in 1811 in Shenandoah County, Va. They then seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth. There is a John George served 33rd Virginia Infantry Co C. from Shenandoah Co with parents of John and Sarah. But I have no proof that these are MY John and Sarah. This John George m Mary Irwin children: Wm Fillmore George (m. Emma Sine) Mary Florence (m James W Ryman) There is also a David George who served 33rd Virginia Infantry Co C. I don't know if he's a brother of the above John George or not. I have much information about the rest of the Housden clan that I'd love to be able to share. Vicky Drake dvicky@primenet.com
