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.

The newberry site shows the boundaries of Virginia's counties/independent cities from 1634 forward. This site is a bit slow and cranky on my dial-up server, but hopefully will work great for you. I can't vouch for the site's accuracy, but the site seems to show that Elizabeth City County (including in its previous names) never included any territory on the peninsula now known as the Delmarva Peninsula. I think it's very good that you are inquiring on the LDR, because of Robert Russell's stated birthplace, and because of the proximity of old Accomac and Elizabeth City, but as others have suggested, be sure that you also are checking with other resources, such as other rootsweb lists, the appropriate genweb sites, various Virginia sources, etc. Keep Digging!!
