To Everyone on the List; I am sending this to the Rockingham & Stokes List; because I felt that others would like to know about this.... I would just like to let everyone know that Jamie Smith; who has done alot of genealogy on the Rockingham CO. NC Smith Families has had a very serious stroke Thursday(August 3rd). He is in Moses Cone Hospital, in Greensboro, NC. He is paralyzed on one side and will start therapy in the next few days. Please keep him in your prayers.... Lisa Smith Ridgeway, VA

I am joining in the research of the Knowles/Noles families of Rockingham County and would like to contribute my data in hopes of connecting with someone out there. So far, my data have come from census records. William Knowles, born abt 1820 NC, died after 1860 + Mary E., born abt 1822 NC, died aft 1860 ....Robert P. Knowles, born abt 1854 ....Isaiah Knowles, born abt 1859 ....John S. Knowles, born May 1853, died aft 1910 ....+ Eliza J., born Jan 1853 NC ........John W. Knowles, born Nov 1888 ........Rufus D. Knowles, born Feb 1896 ........+ Nannie Mae Crowder Thank you for your help! Cheryl Crowder

These are my CROWDERs that I am researching. If anyone connects to this line, please contact me. Thanks! Cheryl Crowder --------------- John W. Crowder, born Jul 1867 + Mary Alice Moore They had son John D. Crowder and daughter Nannie Mae. John W. Crowder was born in WVA, probably Kanawha County, and migrated to Rockingham Co, NC sometime before 1900. In the 1900 Rockingham Co, NC census, living next to John W. Crowder are: Daniel J. Crowder, born Nov 1872 in WVA Thomas S. Crowder, born May 1882 in WVA Lula M. Crowder, born Feb 1885 in WVA Eugene Crowder, born Jun 1888 in NC Sarah D. Crowder, born Sep 1844 in VA I believe Sarah D. Crowder is mother to all the above.

>>Hugh Herrill is shown with a marrige bond issued in both Rowan and Rockingham counties to Rebeckah lacken 19 May 1787.<< This marriage would fit, date-wise, with the Hugh Herrell, Herrill, Harrell etc. who lived near Bakersville, N.C. (Burke co. at the time) Hugh Herrell etc. had five or more sons born between 1787 and abt. 1810... Jesse Herrell married abt. 1812 in Burke County and is thought to be a son of Hugh Herrell.. The date also fits the date the Indians were moved further west in N.C. allowing settlers to claim that land.. This might account for the marriage of Hugh Herrill and Rebeckah Lacken being recorded in both Rockingham and Rowan Co.. This is the couple I suspect are the ancestors of my line and I welcome any piece of information concerning them.. Thanks a Million, G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Virginia

My grandparents names were ; Minnie Reep and Dan M. Jonas I just found out their names from my mother Social security Application. Mother left some old photos taken in Vale, Reepsville, Boone,NC and Amherst and Gladstone,VA.

There's no place around where I live to try to check all those census. if I could find a starting locale, I'd travel down to NC, whwere most of the Jonas and Reeps lived. Ann Reed Pocono Lakes,PA

I need to contact the list owners please e-mail me. Warren Winchester

I'm new to the list. I am looking of any information about the Peeples family. They apparently move from Guilford Co, N C to Spencer Co, IN where the inner married with Massey family in the 1830s. James Peeples

In Oct of 1998, I was to learn that research done for over 35 years had been rid off by The Family Tree Maker, the Broderbund Software Co. Having mentioning this on other lists I found many that had been done the same. Now, I would like those interested in a class action suit to contact me at my e-mail address and not via this list as this is not the purpose of the mailing list. Thank you.

Hi folks - I'd be most appreciative of any information you might be able to give about Capt. William Hamilton Sutherland and his ancestry. He was the son of John L. Sutherland and wife Elizabeth, was born in Rockingham County on 25 April 1830 and died 25 Jan 1925 at Hillsville, VA. He married Rhoda Jane Cassell on 05 December 1874 and had five children: Minnie, Walter, Alice, Edgar and Virginia Maude. John Sutherland, a saddlemaker who probably was born in Rockingham County in 1813, and his family of wife and seven children came from Rockingham County or Stokes County, NC to Carroll County, VA in 1848. All, except William and a sister Catherine, left, possibly going to Missouri, about 1856. William remained in Carroll County, from which entered the Civil War, achieving the rank of Captain, and after the war became Carroll County Clerk. I'd certainly appreciate any assistance anyone can give me on this. My best and thanks. John Tallman Lookout Mountain, Tennessee

This is the federal agency which has *our* pension records, bounty land records, military records, passenger lists as well as other records of importance to a genealogist. NARA is proposing a rate increase. Not a small one to cover the cost of living but a VERY LARGE increase! The records most often sought, the pension records of our ancestors, will have a 400% increase in Sept. unless we make our voices heard. Several years ago, when NARA was threatened with a dramatic funding cut, they appealed to genealogist to write and express our opinions and dissatisfaction. We did and basically *saved* them. Now it is our turn to speak out on this issue too. First visit this site, it is the NARA site that tells you about the proposed fee increases. Some of you can hyperlink and others will need to copy and paste the page. Either way, read it carefully. Yes, it is your typical government document full of mumble jumble and you have to wade through all of that. But the new fees are listed. All increases are far more than a modest increase! Now is the time we can act together. We can write an email, send a fax or better yet, a snail mail letter to NARA. In addition, notify you congressman and any other official you know to express your dissatisfaction in this most unfair rate increase. The time is NOW. The cut off date for getting your opinions in is June 26, 2000. Although the increase is not scheduled until Sept., we must act now to get them to rethink this gigantic increase. Thank you for reading this. Please take the time to write a similar message to each of the mailing list you receive, and send to them as well as to each genealogist that you personally correspond with and encourage them to do the same. Together we can be a Million Genealogist On Line Against Fee Increases!! With elections not far away, I do not think congress wants to make a VERY Large group of constituents upset!! So go below and click or copy and see for yourselves what is proposed and then write your letter now, not tomorrow, not next week. NOW. <A HREF="http://www.nara.gov/nara/fees-pro.html">Proposed Rule NARA Fee Schedule-36 CFR Part 1258</A> or http://www.nara.gov/nara/fees-pro.html Thanks.
