I guess I would probably start with VAGenWeb project state page http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagenweb/ There is a query search engine there for unknown county that you can search for your names. There is also a Surname Registry and other links there that may help. After that, I would probably put a message on the VA message boards seeking info on your family. ~Hopefully someone else is seeking info or has info. Start here http://boards.ancestry.com/ and follow the link to the state you desire. From there you can search for your names or create an account if you do not already have one and post your query. Hope this helps - and good luck!

Can anyone tell me of any site in VA that I might be able to trace roots back to when you only have first and last name and no spouse. I do have sons name.

I am interested in finding information on Henry BREWER of Christian County. His daughter Delilah m. John PENNY there on 15 Dec. 1817 I recently found records that show that , within two weeks, Henry BREWER m. Linnie Henderson in Christian Co. (23 Dec 1817). Is it the same Henry? Henry was evidently an early settler in the region, and possibly had a brother William living nearby. Henry was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and came from Chatham, VA. His parents (or grandparents) were George and Sarah BREWER. Does any of this sound familiar to any of you? Suggestions about research directions are welcome. Thank you, Bill Penny MN

Thanks, Jean!!! Mimi

Go to courier-journal.com. Look for "contact us". click on that, then look to the left under "Reader Services" Archives/Search is under that heading. Don't know how extensive their files are tho--- I have never used them. Hope is this helpful. By the way, the paper isn't called "Louisville Courier-Journal" anymore, just "Courier-Journal."

There was another college in the area, called the Kentucky Women's College on Belmont Hill. They had a dormitory for the ladies to live in next to the school. Not sure of the years it operated but it was before Bethel, I think. Jean ~~

Thanks to everyone that has helped so far. If you still mean to send in info on this query, go right on ahead! <grin> I can use all the help. This has been confusing for so many years. I hope that by posting it all here I can do two things ... 1) perhaps jog someones memories and get another connection and 2) help someone else like I've been helped thus far. First off there is Margaret. I first find her in the 1870 census for Stewart County, TN. She is listed as Margaret Harris, aged 21, domestic servant in the Lewis household along with her 3 year old daughter. Now, whether Harris is her maiden name or she is widowed, I haven't found out yet. On 26 March 1872 Margaret Harris married William T. Parker at the Cumberland Iron Works, Stewart Co., TN. I'd love to know who William's parents are but don't know at this time. This family appears in the 1880 census for Stewart Co, TN. William is a Wagoner by trade and is aged 35. Wife Margarett is listed as 31 years of age and having been born in KY. Daughter Mary is listed as William's stepdaughter and then two more children were added ... Henry C. Parker born Dec 1873 and Ana born abt 1874. William's brother "Lins," aged 21 years, is also listed in the household. I lose William and Margarett after 1880. Mary Harris on the other hand is listed as marrying John L. Cox on 24 Dec 1884 in Stewart County, TN. My great grandfather was a child of this union. Charles Andrew Cox was born 18 Sep 1885 in Stribling, Stewart, TN. I now believe that there may have been another child, a girl, born to this union on Aug 1889. Unfortunately the 1900 census for Stewart Co. is water damaged and much of the writing is blurred at the bottom of several pages. Sometime between 1889 and 1896 I believe that John L. Cox died. Mary Harris Cox then remarried to a Boring. I believe that it was George Lafayette Boring (son of George Washington Boring and Susan Catherine Mollohan). Mary Harris Cox and George Boring had one child, a daughter, named Pansy 14 Jan 1897. George Boring died 12 August 1898. Mary Harris Cox Boring shows up as the widow Mary Booring in the 1900 census for Stewart County, TN. In the home with her are her son Charley Cox, aged 15 and working as a water carrier "in ore," the daughter whom I have no name for and who is listed as 10 years of age, daughter Pansy B. aged 3, AND her brother Henry C. Parker who was working as an "ore digger." At some point between 1900 and abt 1906, Mary Harris Cox Boring marries yet a third time to the widower Wilson Hooper. In 1906/1907 they have a son named John Wilson Hooper and in 1909/1910 they have a daughter named Ida Morris Hooper. The unnamed daughter lised in the 1900 census though is gone. The 1910 census also states that Mary had 5 children but only 4 are living. This suggests to me that the unnamed daughter died between 1900 and 1910, and probably prior to 1908 as I can't find any listing for a boring or cox of the right age in the 1908-1912 death index. So the desendants I have are as follows: Mary Harris (May 1867 to aft 1947) to John L. Cox ( ? to abt 1889/1890) 1. Charles Andrew Cox (18 Sep 1885 - 15 Jul 1959) married to Dovie Birdie Screws in ,Panola, TX in 1907 then returns to Stewart Co., TN to raise a family of 7 kids (Jewel Andrew, John Lucius, Lilliam Pearl, Laura Hazel, Cecil Wilson, Pansy Gertrude, and Charles Eugene "Gene") 2. female Cox (Aug 1889 - between 1900/1907) Mary Harris Cox (May 1867 to aft 1947) to George Lafayette Boring (7 Jan 1864 - 12 Aug 1898) 1. Pansy Boring (14 Jan 1897 - Sep 1985) married first to William "Willie" Burks abt 1912. She remains married to him until after 1920 (see census for Granite City, IL under the name Barks) and has a daughter Wayman C. Burks in 1916. Either Willie Burks dies, or they divorce and she remarries a man named Huel Thomas (or possibly Hugh) and they live for a time in Hopkinsville, KY. Mary Harris Cox Boring (May 1867 to aft 1947) marries thirdly to the widower William Wilson Hooper (Jan 1850 - aft 1930). 1. John Wilson Hooper (1906/1907 to aft 1959) -- don't know if he ever married. Only have a condolence card from him to Dovie Cox to prove that he died after his half brother Charley Cox as did the sister Ida Morris Hooper. 2. Ida Morris Hooper (1909/1910 - aft 1959). She was married to Madison Wagoner in 1934 in Bear Springs, Stewart, TN. They had a child named Don Waggoner at some point. From what I know the boy didn't live and the marriage failed, but in what order that happened I don't know. Believe this all took place in Montgomery County, TN. I have the children from William Wilson Hooper's first marriage if anyone is interested. William Wilson Hooper appears to be the son of James B. Hooper and Eliza Hodges of Montgomery Co., TN. His first wife was also named Mary (Aug 1849 - 1900/1906) and was from Ireland. They appear in the 1880 census for Montgomery County, TN and the 1900 census for Stewart County, TN. 1. William "Willie" Hooper, born Mar 1875 in KY. Died after 1930, never married as far as I've been able to find, always lived with father. 2. Geurtie Hooper, female, born Dec 1878 in KY, died after 1900. 3. W Hooper, male, first name blurred in census records, born Jan 1880 in TN. 4. Bid[remainder of name blurred] Hooper, female, born Dec 1882 in TN. 5. Harry Hooper, son, born Dec 1885 in TN. 6. Ge[remainder of name blurred] Hooper, female, born Feb 1894 in TN.
