Subject: John Ashley age 83 in 1910 Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2000 18:50:09 -0400 From: Jim & Pattie Hamill <hamill4@mindspring.com> To: "Ashe Cty., NC Mail List Ashe" <NCASHE-L-request@rootsweb.com> Dear list, I have not had any experience researching in North Carolina yet. I am looking for information on the following family. I have found a John Ashley age 83 in the 1910 Wise Cty., VA Census. It states that his place of birth was NC as were his father and mother. He appears to have been in the Civil War in a Confederate Army. He is also listed as being blind and a widow. He is the the household of his granddaughter. The census taker lists her place of birth as Virginia. Thank in advance, Patricia Hamill Knoxville, TN

Thanks to all of you who have answered my inquiries concerning old cities and old ailments. You assistance has been greatly appreciated. Anna Belle - --------------------------------------------- A.

Have a rather strange request: To reconstruct for my grandsons my boyhood days during WW-II in Lansing, I would like to buy, or borrow for copying, photos showing the main (only) drag, railroad depot, etc, of the town during the 1940s. Charlie Weaver, Winston-Salem

Does anyone know how a person can trace the former name of a city? This past weekend, I was priviledged to see some old postcards that came down through my family, and I cannot find the names on an Atlas. They were not NC cities, but I thought someone on the list might know how to go about tracing the old names. I think the date would be early 1900's, since one postcard was cancelled in 1911. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Anna Belle - --------------------------------------------- A. B.

Re: Early History of Ashe Co. How early? I would be interested in owning a copy. My ancestors, the BALDWINS, were there when Ashe Co. was Wilkes Co. Does the book go back that far? Janet McLain Jllynjam@aol.com

Tracy, It's been a while since I've been up Hwy 194 from Lansing but I believe you pass a church a few miles before you get to the Grayson/VA border. Seems like the church is on the left if you're coming from Lansing. The church I'm thinking of hasn't been in use for quite some time b/c it's kind of worn looking. From Lansing, you just turn at the light (there's only one) and follow that road (it's Highway 194N) and it will take you right through Helton. It's a beautiful area but kind of windy road. Again, I'm not sure if that's the church you're talking about but if it if you're looking for a church in Helton/Big Helton, 194N from Lansing will take you there.
