I do want to say that a lot of the death certificates that you get from the Archives have the parents along with the mothers maiden. The cause of death and where they were buried. Now since his date of death was 1884 they may not be that complete. For thirty years our first research had my great grandmother with the surname of Garrett. And he willed his research to another person - who is a four way cousin connection. Well by ordering one of my great uncles death certificates I found her name was really Turner. After all those years. Then the present researcher search the records in Virginia and "behold" found the birth listing of several of the children. Confirming the name Turner was indeed our great grandmother's maiden name. I know how important it is to get that "one" clue. Our original ancestor in the US was an orphan. He was given the name Sealock. And even a DNA test has not helped us locate that one person who could give us a clue to our original surname. And our researcher has traveled to England, Scotland and France and no luck. So keep looking
