Some of those names (Blevins, Dameron) are in the McComas research.  Most of the searches for your area would be OH Lawrence, Gallia, VA/WV Cabell, Mercer, Lincoln Montgomery, MD Anne Arundel, Baltimore, and Harford. Look for Blevins as Beavin/en, Bevin are some of the variations I have seen.. Hope this help. --- On Wed, 1/7/09, Rickie <ancestorroots@columbus.rr.com> wrote: From: Rickie <ancestorroots@columbus.rr.com> Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] Researching: Blevins, Earl/Earles, Patrick, Dameron To: ohlawren@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 5:30 PM In Lawrence County I am eager to exchange information and maybe even photographs of the following family surnames - Blevins, Dameron, Patrick, Earl/Earles Earles - Jesse Peter Earles born in Pittsylvania Co Virginia in 1804 who migrated to Floyd Co, Kentucky then WV and then his son Jesse migrated to Ironton where my grandpa Howard Earles was born in 1894.

Hi Rickie, I have looked everywhere in this house that I have stuffed genealogy stuff and I have not located that photo. I do, however, have a xeroxed copy. I will try scanning that and we will see what happens. I'll need your email address.

Author: ctmurdock Surnames: GOODALL PORTER Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.counties.lawrence/3823/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have a question for the local Lawrence County folks. My ggreatmother Emily Jean Goodall Porter(wife of Jerry M. Porter) is buried at the Union Twp/Lower Gap Cem at Bradrick. She died ca 1890. There is no marker so I am not sure where she is buried at. Does anyone know if possibly they are old records from the cemetery? Does the Union Baptist Church have them? I was up there a few days ago and found a tombstone I had not noticed before it was for a Alexander Porter son of A.J. and A. Porter. It was dated 1854-1855. I am guessing that he was the son of Andrew and Annas Graham Porter who were my 3rd greatgrandparents. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
