Janice, Where I live (Columbia River Girl Scout Council) the troop receives 75 cents per box, the council receives the same and the rest pays for the cookies. The Councils do have office buildings and administration but they provide things like insurance, facilities and training that make it possible for the volunteer leaders to do their jobs as well as organize activities in which the girls may participate.

What a wonderful gesture on your part.  With the economy like it is, they're having a hard time reaching their goals this year.  My granddaughter also a GS.  Also, you might ask the girl's if they are sending to the troops.  My granddaughter sold a good many to folks that were either diabetic,on diets etc.for Operation Sandbox and our soldiers enjoy those treats from home.

Oh, I couldn't agree with you more! Last year I found the property of one of my ancestors, Henry Holtzclaw and his wife, Ann. This land was first purchased in 1724 by Henry's father, Jacob Holtzclaw, 496 acres. I didn't know it, but every time I come out to Virginia and pass from Prince William Co into Fauquier over Broad Run, I'm on Henry's land! The best one, though, is a tromping through the fields last October with Perry Cabot to look at the grave stone of John Fishback, the son of Jacob Fishback and Anna Catharina Holdinghaus. Jacob and Anna Catharina arrived in Virginia in 1734, settling in The Little Fork after Jacob's godfather, Jacob Holtzclaw, deeded 150 acres of his land on Indian Run to Jacob and his brother, Frederick. Well, when we went out there, we were walking across my ancestor's land and it was a glorious feeling to know that he had been there!!

So true! In July 1999 or 2000, I was living in Florida and came up to visit family in the summer. I drove my mother out to Culpeper where we picked up Bessie (nee Compton; once married to a Bowen) Yancey and her daughter, Catherine Bowen Blantz, my cousin (daughter of my father's uncle, Edward Everheart Bowen). My mother conversed with Bessie and they spoke of when my dad would drive us (me & my sister Marlene, and mom) to Culpeper to visit some of his family. Bessie would always be among those visited (my dad was sort of anti-social, so if he took the time to visit you, he really liked you!). [Another aside: Bessie is one of the kindest, sweetest, people you could ever know and she maintained that through much tragedy & sadness. she also turned 100 last march and is residing in an assisted living facility in Madison.] We decided to go to see the old Nethers Mill homestead. Savilla Nethers is my great-grandmother (and Catherine's grandmother) & daughter of Arnold Nethers and Ellen Huffman (Germanna Huffman/Hoffman) and grew up in the shadow of old Rag mountain near Syria. We pull into the driveway and it was like riding into a Norman Rockwell painting! Two boys, about 8 & 10, were swimming in waters of the mill race. To the side of the stone retaining wall adjacent to the mill race, was a burlap bag containing a watermelon hanging into the water. We met the current owners (hope they still have it) and they were hoping to restore the old mill and have it registered as an historic site. There was a garden and lots of general farm and home work all around....didn't see a pigpen, though...think there may have been hens, so eggs... Catherine & bessie were in heaven reminiscing with the home owners and mom & I just took it all in...just one of those perfect days i will always remember fondly, especially since my mom and cousin Catherine have passed on. I also took Catherine by the Germanna Visitor's Center on a trip a year or so later and she was very impressed - she had not realized how much Germanna was in the family history...

If you plan to attend this year's 2009 reunion, and want to stay at the Best Western in Culeper, I suggest book our your room as soon as possible--as in NOW. If you are one of the dying bread of smokers, you'd better call immediately because NO smoking rooms were booked at all. I was able to get the group rate despite this restriction. Warning. NO rooms are booked as a block for Sunday, the 19th.

John, Does this mean that Elizabeth Thomas was a first cousin to Susannah and Mary Thomas and their siblings? In Sandi Gorin's Ky Research Tips #270 at Logan's Station, Bowman's Station and Roger's Fort in Lincoln Co. KY near Stanford the names include: Boone, Kenton, Yager, Boyle, Thomas, and Holsclaw. Does any one know which Thomas this is? Is he related to Susannah Thomas Holsclaw? If I remember correctly Logan's Station is where James Harrod sent his new bride for her safety until the area had more settlers.

You are correct in that it would be between the date his signed his will and the date it was proved. In the usual course of things, a will was presented to court about a month after the death of the testator. But this is no firm and fast rule. I have many cases where wills took months, even years, to be presented to court. Two recent cases come to mind. One is the will of James Robinson of Lancaster County. This will went to chancery court, though no copy of it was ever recorded. In this case, the chancery suit states that James Robinson died "in the summer"of 1832. The civil case involving the disposition of his real property by his will of February, 1832. The suit was commenced in October of 1832. Another case involved one Eleazar Robinson who died in Lancaster County in June 1782. His will was not "discovered" until the next winter. Here are the notes from that case study, since it is rather amusing all by itself: Lancaster County Virginia Court Order Book 16, p. 102a, dated 20 June 1782: "Eleazar Robinson being dead and buried it is ordered he be not only struck off the Commissioner's List of Taxes but Erased out of the memory of Man, as having been a poor, inoffensive being and a useless member of Society. He would fall asleep while on duty of a jury." Indexed as "Eleazar Robinson exempt from taxes." [NOTE by CMK: I should think so, he was dead} Lancaster County, VA Order Book 16, p. 118. 26 February 1783. Will of Eleazar Robinson presented by Epaphroditus Robinson one of the executors, proved by the witnesses and ordered to be recorded. Indexed as "Will of Eleazar Robinson found." [NOTE byCMK: Apparently this clerk did not like Eleazar Robinson.] So, yes, Cary, we do need to be careful about assigning death dates based solely on the date a will was presented to court. I should not have given it as a statement of fact that John Berry died in 1779. LIkely? Yes. Fact? No. Thank you for correcting me.

My notes for John Berry: (contradictions and all) ************************************** Constable in Culpeper Co., VA in 1764. John leased land from Spotswood's estate in about 1744.
