Clare, I'm wondering if I could butt in here with your message......could you provide some dates for the below. I have a Robert Russell who died in 1859 who was married in 1812 to a Sarah Shockley. They had at least one son, George, born 1829. I also have a Pleasant Ewell, 1788 - 1852. I also have a few Wests in my Tree. None of these are direct ancestors but married into my Smiths - a long way around - and through marriages. I keep all of this information in my Tree because sooner or later they seem to marry back into a connection again!

I've done the West family. Parker West is Robert Russell's grandson. He is the son of Robert's dau. Elizabeth "Peggy" and Benjamin West. You just gave me an idea. Parker West, Jr. was living with Charles Ewell & family in 1880. Charles was the grandson of James and Tabitha Ewell. I am going to check James Ewell to see if he had a dau. Tabitha. Robert Russell died in 1832 and my husband's ancestor was b. 1827 so our Tabitha must have been a younger woman. The 1840 Census lists her as Mrs. Russell between 40 & 50.

Ginni, I am so sorry for posting bad info. I was reading from one computer to another and was on the wrong page. Elizabeth "Peggy" Russell who married Benjamin West WAS NOT Robert Russell's dau., she was his sister and they both were the children of George Russell and Sarah (Bonwell). Parker West was the son of Peggy (Russell) and Benjamin West. I am so sorry to you and to others who may have read the previous post.

Clare, Elizabeth City records (that is those few that have survived) can be borrowed from the VA State library on microfilm through your local library, or the nearest LDS. Many families from Accomack and the other eastern shore families moved across the water to the Western shore, (Elizabeth City and York, counties in VA) While searching records you might look at some of these families. For example, Smith (Levin), Colebourne (a Tabitha daughter of Catherine Colebourne (her husband possibly Thomas married Callohill Presson) Savage and Outten moved here together, Teakle Savage another line, and Phillips to name a few. Have you looked at the West family? In Robert Russells will, a Parker West is ex. sometimes it is a relative of the wife (to protect her interests) that handles the ex. duties. Have you looked at the neighbors? You might keep these Accomack names in mind when searching Elizabeth City County records. Don't neglect York County records. Elizabeth City, York and Warwick are contiguous counties. There is a Tidewater Genealogical society, take a look at their site _http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vatgs/ _ (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vatgs/ ) These contiguous counties are among those of interest to this group. Good hunting, just read every record you can of the area and time period. Sorry if I have been redundant in suggestions. Ginni

The Library of Virginia also offers some excellent resources. They don't always have much available online, but almost all records are on microfilm and available through ILL. There is also your Local Family History center, and their catalog is online at _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) . Generally, if none of us respond, it is because the question involves a person or place about which we have no information. Elizabeth In a message dated 8/27/2010 8:34:29 P.M.

Although I have information to share about the ancestry of Zachariah CAREY / CARY, I hope to learn the names of the children and wife of Zachariah CAREY, Sussex Co., Delaware. He was born to Ebenezer and Hannah CARY between 1770 - 1780; it appears that he died between 1830 and 1840. I have located Zachariah’s household in Dagsboro Hundred in 1800 and 1810; in Nanticoke Hundred in 1820 and 1830. Zachariah’s wife’s name is not known; she was born and died within the same time range as Zachariah. According to the 1820 census in his household Zachariah had 1 ‘free white male’ born between 1802 and 1804; 3 born between 1804 and 1810; 1 born between 1810 and 1820; and 1 ‘ free white female’ born between 1794 and 1806. I hope to hear from someone who can help me identify the names (and birth information) for Zachariah Caey's children as well as the name of his wife! I will be glad to share what I know about his ancestry! Helen Carey

Per Becky's comments about the history of Elizabeth City County, Virginia I suggest that you take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_City_County,_Virginia This would be a good starting point to ECC VA. Roy

I don't know if there is a list for Elizabeth City County, VA, but it might be more practical to post on such a list since your ancestor died there.  Or if you haven't joined the GHOTES list, which deals almost exclusively with Accomack and Northampton Counties, VA, that might be a more productive route.  It seems to me that recently a GHOTE posted the morphology of some Virginia counties and that Elizabeth City was one that is now another county.  I'm sure someone will correct me if I have remembered incorrectly. LDR covers lower Delmarva, as suggested in its title, but in actuality most of the genealogy seems to be centered in old Somerset County (Worcester, Wicomico & Somerset) with Dorchester, Sussex (DE) and ESVA offshoots.  It just seems that way and I'm sure not by deliberate design. At least that's my observation.

Over the past 10 years, I have posted many times asking for help in finding a specific person but have had no responses, so I am trying again. Robert Russell b. about 1756, Accomack, VA; d. 1832 Elizabeth City Co., Va.; m. Margaret "Peggy" Lewis, dau. of James Lewis and (Peggy Bonewell). After Robert Russell's wife Peggy died, Robert married someone by the name of Tabitha which is proven by his Will and several Land Deeds. Robert and Tabitha are our direct ancestors. I have no problem with Robert Russell's ancestors BUT I am looking for Tabitha's maiden name. Please. If anyone knows anything about this Tabitha, would you please help me. If you supply the name, I will do the research work and I don't copy from Ancestry.com. I believe that only names, dates and places are the skeleton of a person. I want to give them a life and make them live. Thank you. Clare

Checked out Miles Files V.10 but was unable to find your answer.  However, it is an excellent place to start and maybe you ight pick up some additional ideas.

Hi Clare, The folks on LDR list are always helpful. If you have not had a response in a decade, I'm thinking no one on this list knows your answer. If your subject line had a surname such as Russell or Lewis, I, for one, probably never even opened it. I presume most folks do as I, in that since time does not permit the reading of everything in the mailbox, only the messages with an interesting subject line are read. My mailbox is currently showing 1414 unread messages, going back years. I don't know if there is a list for Elizabeth City County, VA, but it might be more practical to post on such a list since your ancestor died there. Or if you haven't joined the GHOTES list, which deals almost exclusively with Accomack and Northampton Counties, VA, that might be a more productive route. It seems to me that recently a GHOTE posted the morphology of some Virginia counties and that Elizabeth City was one that is now another county. I'm sure someone will correct me if I have remembered incorrectly. LDR covers lower Delmarva, as suggested in its title, but in actuality most of the genealogy seems to be centered in old Somerset County (Worcester, Wicomico & Somerset) with Dorchester, Sussex (DE) and ESVA offshoots. It just seems that way and I'm sure not by deliberate design. At least that's my observation. Best wishes, Becky ________________________________ From: Clare Pebworth <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, August 26, 2010 5:40:26 PM Subject: [LDR] I truly need help Over the past 10 years, I have posted many times asking for help in finding a specific person but have had no responses, so I am trying again.

Ida Wroten b. abt 1883, she was the only child of Charles M. Wroten and his first wife Addie E. Mills of the Lakes District, Dor.Co., MD. Addie Mills Wroten died a few months after Ida was born and Ida was raised by her grandparents John J. and Sallie Mills. Who did Ida Wroten marry and who were her children?

Which William Veatch/Veach married Jeimima Lofland and had a daughter named Rachel Veach who married David Hall in about 1805. Also, any information about this David Hall from Sussex County, Delaware would be appreciated. Beverly Phillips [email protected]
