I had a fairly extensive file on the CAUDILL family which has disappeared from my computer, and I can't find a backup. I'm wondering if I shared this with someone who could send a copy back to me?? My ancestor Owen "Odey" ROBERTS md Delila CAUDILL, d/o Abner CAUDILL. Rodney Veitschegger

I've been told that I descend from Joel and Rachel Emerson Adkins. I am not sure and trying to sort his children and descending lines. MY ancestors were Rachel Adkins who married John Conley. Rachel's brother, Richard Adkins married John's sister, Elizabeth. John and Rachel Adkins Conley are my g-g-grandparents. Any help greatly appreciated.

Genealogy LookUp Forum is a web site of volunteers who will do various types of genealogical look ups such as births, census, cemetery, deaths and marriage. We are also looking for new volunteers that have access to records that may help others as well. We do have our own genealogy chat room that is moderated by Hosts who are very helpful on giving others genealogical advice. They will do look ups from several paid online resources for those who do not have access to them. We have a weekly chat called GENTREK with HOSTS that give a genealogical presentation class to the members each week. The topics are different every week. These are mini genealogy classes to help us to become better researchers. Two times a week we hold genealogy trivia games which are very educational and loads of fun. Please visit our site to locate a volunteer in your area or join our genealogy chat for some great help. I am sure you will not be disappointed. _http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~genealogylookup/index.html_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~genealogylookup/index.html)

In 1780 Lincoln Co. Ky., Fayette Co. Ky., Jefferson Co. Ky. were formed out of Virginia. In 1781 Greenbriar Co.,Va. now West Virginia was still part of Virginia. Greenbriar Co. Va. is where my John Wesley COLLIER/COLYER removed to Lincoln Co./Pulaski Co. Ky. In 1785 Mercer Co. and Madison Co's (Ky) were formed from Lincoln Co. Ky. In 1796 Garrard Co. was formed from PARTS of Lincoln, Mercer and Madison Counties. In 1798 Pulaski was formed from Lincoln Co. In 1810 Rockcastle Co. was formed from PARTS of Lincoln, Pulaski, and Madison Counties. I have more dates if anyone wants them.

There are some interesting new developments on the Hatfield lines that were in southwestern VA & a Hatfield DNA project has been initiated. They are looking for a direct male descendant of old "Eph of All" Ephraim Hatfield who would like to participate. This information has been recently posted on the Hatfield list at rootsweb. Brenda Here is the post: "Thanks to Robert Slavey for changing the way that this list works. Feel free to post your thoughts to the list any time, for replies will now automatically be posted to the list at large. We can chat at last! My news is a double-dipper. _________________________________ NEWS #1 We have a viable DNA project that is already making matches and proving (or disproving) theories we've spouted for years of Hatfield genealogy. Hasn't every Hatfield family wondered if they were really connected to the Feuding Hatfields and McCoys? Now is your chance to find out. At this moment, the Hatfield project is very small, with only 4 samples that have already been tested and posted to the table of results. Three of these samples ARE part of the same family, while the 4th has an entirely different genetic backgroud. The matching samples go backward to the a group of men found in Southwestern Virginia near the Revolutionary War, and we can now use DNA to prove that they are, indeed, part of the same family. The Feuding Hatfields should match this DNA pattern ... as soon as we can talk a provable descendant of Ephraim Hatfield into taking the DNA plunge. 1. George Hatfield of Southwestern Virginia (through his son Jeremiah and Jeremiah's son Reuben). 2. John Hatfield who md. Polly Craig and lived in Scott Co., TN. 3. Valentine Hatfield - long believed to be another son to old George Hatfield The non-matching sample belongs to another researcher, so she now knows that she doesn't seem to be related to the Feudists. I'll let her chat up her own lineage to the list. Here's a link to the current results: http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/h/hatfield/index.html Click "Results" to see the DNA scores and see how they're grouped, then click "Patriarchs" to see the genealogy behind each DNA participant. I'll be glad to answer questions about the DNA and the lineage, discuss the test itself, talk about how to find critical participants, talk about how to raise money for the tests, etc. This afternoon I finally broke down and volunteered to be the administrator for the Hatfield DNA project, at least until someone else on this list wants to take this over. _________________________________ NEWS #2 This is DNA, too, but applied straight to genealogy. There's another DNA sample at the lab being processed right now. The results are due back in mid-September and will be sample H-5. The lineage for H-5 is already posted on the Patriarchs page. This sample goes back to Capt. Andrew Hatfield and wife Christiana Powell, also of Southwestern Virginia. There's never been a provable connection between Capt. Andrew and old George Hatfield whose DNA is already posted to the chart. Except there is that tantalizing idea that they were in the same place at the same time. Today we have no way to know whether or not they ever met one another, but in mid-September the DNA will tell us once and forever if they are even remotely related. This is particularly interesting in light of some research done on a Jurian Hartsfelder of early Philadelphia. Dr. Oliver Weaver, the guru of Hartsfelder/Hartsfield researchers, has worked with a Dr. Galen R. Hatfield who descends from Capt. Andrew. These two men now agree that Capt. Andrew Hatfield of Virginia is a descendant of Jurian Hartsfelder. I don't know the details of their research, but I can give you a link to an online paper where this is discussed. (And if anyone knows how to get in touch with Dr. Galen R. Hatfield, I'd love to have some contact info on him.) http://www.the-sims-family.net/genealogy/sims/ Click on the left side of this page at "Documents," then scroll down the page to find a document named "The Hartsfield Family of Marcus Hook, Ye Deleware River, 1676." This is a long document, but the parts that will interest Hatfields are the Foreward and the section on sons to Jurian Hartsfelder that begins on p. 23. Don't miss p. 28 that names John Hatfield who married Catherine Supplee as part of the Hartsfelder family. Capt. Andrew Hatfield of Virginia is a son to John Hatfield/Catherine Supplee. ________________________________________ Now we can finally prove who is related to whom. Who is related to the NJ and NY Hatfields? Who descends from the Southampton Co. Hatfields? Who's English, who's German? Who was Mansfield Hatfield? All things we've always wanted to know. Leslie"

Thanks so much for the reply concerning Coyer. I did receive your information and do appreciate your help. Don't know what we would do without you and others like you. I love the give and take found with all who share. Barb in OH

Hello List, Is there anyone out there that may have a pictures of the Dil's Cemetery ? Linda Northern OH

Hello List, I'm researching the LEEDY surname. John LEEDY birth about 5 May 1870 Married: Mary Alice STUMBO I have no Information on the wife. John Leedy date of Death from a Grave Stone - 2 Oct 1912 Buried in the Harvey Cemetery To children that I know of : William and Joseph "Joe" Leedy. I'm looking for a Marriage records of John And Mary Alice Stumbo. and also a death record or Obits for him. Thank you Linda Reilly Northern Oh

From late June to July 1, I posted messages on this list and about 20 others. I want to thank all those who gave and offered help. Bottom line though, I’m still in search for a clue to Silas Fannin’s last days, with place and date of death. Several who replied had found the information posted by Deborah Maynard Chatley saying Silas and Polly died in Wyoming county, WV. I’ve checked those statements in every way I know and found no verification. I suspect they are not true. Replies to my message have dwindled away, so I will be unsubscribing soon. I’m getting too much mail not applicable to my situation. If anyone should find any record pertaining to Silas Fannin after 1887 somewhere, please email me at [email protected] I need to point out again that Silas had a grandson named Silas Fannin who settled in Lincoln county, WV about 1900. I’m interested in finding information about the older Silas Fannin, b. about 1822 in KY. Thank you. Ralph H. Sayre [email protected]

Anyone travelling to the Pike County courthouse this summer, please take a quick look in records 1887 - 1895 for my ancestor, Silas FANNIN who was born about 1822 in Kentucky. He performed marriages in Wayne County, WV 1870 - 1887. He and the youngest part of his family disappeared from WV records after 1887. If you find any record of him, please let me know what is written. I am not able to check all the county records myself. You can email me at [email protected]

Barb, I've been looking up some data on this family. I have no known ties to them. I've found these following records: (I'll also look through some of my cemetery books to see if I can locate the cemetery that you are referring to.)
