WOW!!! Eliz....Appears you struck gold! Where is this goldmine? I need to strike gold too when it comes to my NOLAND clan having connections with this Robert Carter III, in Virginia who was the first and biggest slave emancipator in the late 1700's / early 1800's. Robert Carter III is one of Henry Burkes ancestors because Robert II fathered a son by a African-American slave, and had Baptist Billy, whom Robert III often referred to him as his "brother" in several documents in Fairfax, Westmoreland Co., Virginia. This Robert Carter III's son was Landon Carter, he had a HUGE slave plantation. The land adjoing his, what that of Francis Awbrey, another wealthy huge slave plantation owner that at one time owned thousands of acres adjoing the Carter plantation (Leo). These were all (including Carters, Noland's, Awbrey's) friends and neighbors of General George Washington. Conections have been made with them all when it comes to the House of Burgess. This Francis Awbrey, was the father of Elizabeth Awbrey who married my ancestor Philip Noland, who came to Wood Co., Virginia, and eventally settled in Decatur Twp., Washington Co. and Francis Awbrey had another daughter, Sarah, who married Pierce Noland, uncle of my Philip Noland. - I believe too, that my NOLAND's are also connected to the Lewis, and the Tanners somehow in Wood Co., as well as someother early settlers of Wood County, Virginia....and all this land that used to belong to General George Washington is also connected. So....................this is WHY I need to HIT the genealogy lottery!!! Gotta find those Fairfax and Westmoreland county records that will proove the CLUES that i have collected. Sometimes these NOLAND's even have my head spinning just as fast as the MASON, SPRAGUE's of Lowell do. With the Mason families, there are way too many William's. And with the Noland's there are way too many Philips and Pierce's. lol Debbie Noland Nitsche [email protected] Historical Marietta, Ohio on MySpace http://www.myspace.com/historicalmariettaohio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eliz Hanebury" <[email protected]> To: "ohwashin" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 2:59 PM Subject: [OHWashin] The Shepard genealogy SHEPARD Jacob and WRIGHT Sarah > Well, Ancestry has finally answered all my question about my Grandmother > Sarah WRIGHT SHEPARD RANSOM DAVIS - A very loud yehaaaaa coming from > Lancaster Co Pa <G> > http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=BookList&dbid=24065&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0 > > Don't be surprised to see it again, I think I will post it to the board > just > to get it there..

Ancestry, I don't know what I was searching but suddenly I am looking at a Shepard genealogy with Sarah Wright and Jacob Shepard. It confirmed my guesses about Shepards living in Lowell, I puzzled for years about Elizabeth and her two daughters, sure they were her daughter in law and granddaughters. Elizabeth was the widow of Luman born a Hopp she later married Augustus Wayne Sprague, one daughter married a Mason who was killed very shortly after and much later the other daughter married her step brother <>G don't ya love it.
