Fellow researchers: Please be advised that I have just posted an update to my web page. Point your browser to: http://members.home.net/johntippet/ Included with this update are the following (all in the Beckelhymer section of my web site): (1) I added transcriptions of the land tax lists of Franklin County, VA (1786 - 1805A) for Beckelhymer/Picklesimer and allied families. These include: Archer, Beckett, Dillman, Fishburn, Harger, Kinsey, Landis, Lazena, Lemon, Logan, Phares, Prator, Rinker, Trout, Waggoner, Wimmer, and Young. I found it interesting that there were no Rinkers listed even though they were known to have lived in Franklin County for about 10 years per the personal property tax lists. Apparently, they didn't own land. (2) I added transcriptions of the land tax lists of Botetourt County, VA (1782 - 1809) for Beckelhymer/Picklesimer and allied families. These include: Beckett, France, John Henry, Kinsey, Lemmon, William Logan, Trout, Waggoner, and Wedell. (3) I updated the transcriptions of the Beckelhymer/Picklesimer deeds for Franklin County, MD. Previously, the transcriptions were based solely on the deed index. Now they are based on the actual deeds, themselves. I added a descendancy narrative of a new family to my web page: the Hosseltons. This family lived in Hocking/Pickaway/Perry Counties, OH in the early 1800s and prior to that in VA/PA/MD (a similar migration pattern as for the Behymers). Enjoy!
