I am helping a friend with his Hill family. George Henry Hill 1877-1905 married Elizabeth Betty Cooley and lived in the Frederick Co, VA area. He died in a logging accident near Winchester. I am trying to find his parents, etc. I have written all over the place with no response or help. They must have lived in Shenandoah Co for a while. Does anybody have census, marriage, death or any kind of records they could look at to help me? I help others every day in my area of WV. Lyle Corder

I've been chasing this group of individuals around for about 20 years and finally got 'em stuck into FTM. I'm really after the father of ALEXANDER WOOD, SR. and some of the death dates on the children. I have plenty of information on these people that is yours for the asking. They mostly stayed around the Millwood, Upperville, Winchester, VA area. Here they are below: 1. ALEXANDER WOOD SR was born Abt 1766 in Virginia, and died August 1830 in Va.. He married ELIZABETH KIRK June 02, 1796. Children of Alexander Sr and Elizabeth Kirk are: i. REBECCA2 WOOD, m. HANSFORD PURCELL, January 29, 1817, Frederick Co,Va.. 2. ELIZABETH WOOD, b. Abt 1802. 3. MARY WOOD. 4. ALEXANDER WOOD JR, b. October 29, 1805, Millwood, Va; d. January 21, 1887, Millwood, Va. 5. JOHN WOOD, b. January 02, 1808. 6. WILLIAM WOOD. 7. JANE WOOD, m. JOHN B. MARTIN, January 21, 1828. 6. ELEANOR S. WOOD. 7. FLORINDA WOOD. 8. LUCY WOOD, m. ROBERT F. TAPSCOTT, 1842. 9. JAMES THOMAS WOOD, b. October 08, 1818; d. October 21, 1879, Winchester, Va. Number 4 is my GGGgrandfather who is buried at Old Chapel Cemetery near Berryville, VA. Other surnames prominently involved: Kirk, Kemp, Wheeler, Triplett, French, Doughty, Neville. Thanks for any help you can give me! Joe Baughman Wichita, KS

Wilmer (and Michael Little), Thank you, Michael, for filling me in on the Little connections. The line I am following does come down through Adam Kern Jr.. I would appreciate a copy of your (Wilmer K-) article. I do have pages copied from a 63 page 1975 book by Bessie Kern Regal of Charles City, Iowa "Descendants of Adam Kern". I trust you have seen this. The line down is to Adam Kern Jr's daughter, Caroline Ann, who married James Frederick Shryock. James Frederick served in the Mexican war and under Gen Jubal A. Early in the "war of the '60s" and was killed by cannon shot northeast of Winchester 23 Sept 1864. By the transcription of her death record, Caroline died 17 March 1890 at "Paper Mill" This is the same location as given for the death of her brother, Nimrod KERNS, on 6 Oct 1896 (age 84). (any further information of this location?) I was to Winchester this last summer. There is a tombstone for Caroline (KERN) SHRYOCK near other family members in Mt Hebron Cemetery. According the above quoted History of Virginia article submitted by a descendant, James Frederick Shryock is also in the cemetery. The cemetery has no record of him. I went down to east of Kerntown to look for the tombstones for Adam and Caroline Kern. The area is highly developed and no sign of the cemetery. Rebecca Ebert of the Archives did some checking and found a local offical who had the information that they had all been moved to Mt Hebron. I have not checked this back with Mt. Hebron. Again, I appreciate any research you have done on the family and would like the copy of your article.

I have FTM for data entry. Thanks in adavance for any info on > this. Hello, I have a fairly new Macintosh computer. One portion of the program had a defect and it would not function in my computer. I called their support phone number and they told me they were aware of the problem. They mailed me a free set of disks the same day. I don't know whether or not the DOS, WINDOWS, or IBM versions of the program had the same defect. If I was in your shoes, I would not bother getting replacement disks unless you are having problems with your program. If you still have questions, call the support phone number. Let me know if you can't find the phone number listed in the manual that came with the program. I hope this helps, Monte Buzzard <mbuzzard@fix.net>

Why the replacement? I bought mine at a FHC and am not sure when they got it. Is there a problem with the program. I don't use mine much, mostly for reports. I have FTM for data entry. Thanks in adavance for any info on this.

Anyone who has the new version of PAF that was bought before the 29th of April contact the History Center in Salt Lake as they will mail you a new one to replace the one you have free.

I know of a Groves family in Waynesboro, VA, Augusta County, whom are descendants of Augustus. You could post to that area. Two descendants of Augustus married into the Mize family. John Groves and his sister Virginia Groves Mize. Both John and Virginia have expired now. John has a daughter Joy Groves Shreves who lives in the Virginia Beach area and another daughter named Deane. I don't have any info on her. Virginia married Jacob T. Mize and had a daughter Donna. She married Thomas Culp. They have a son and I think they live in the Culpepper area. Maybe if you could contact them you could get more info. Cindy

I'm almost sure the Coffenbargers are probally some of the right people as I've found that surname spelled so many ways it would take a book to give them all. Some are The first part of name is usually either Coffin or Coffen the last is berry, burger, burg, bury, ete. And of course the ole country way was with the K. Thanks for taking time to help.

Shirley-- I have cemetery record book for present Berkeley County, WV, and I found some Little's but no Coffenberry--there are Coffenbargers. Also some Kline (this spelling).

Michael When I saw your first post it caught my eye but this woke me up so to speak. In your Adam Little (Klein) family research have you come accross any of the girls names? On one line I'm working on I can trace back to Martinsburg, WV and/or old-Frederick Co. Va. I still have some proving to do but don't most of us. And alot of the oldest information I have came from"Genealogy of the Coffenberry Family" by B. Scott. A quote from the book "George Lewis Coffinberry was married December 5, 1786 at Martinburg, West Virginia to Miss Elizabeth (Klein) Little, who was born near Alsace Loraine about 1769. Elizabeth Little believed herself to be a descendant of royalty. Elizabeth had a brother that we know of." No name, nothing. Elizabeth Little Coffinberry died in 1858 in Ohio. Her Parents were surpose to be George (KLein) Little and Elizabeth Truggat both born near Strasburg, Alsace, Germany. Also Coffinberry can and was spelled many way of course. One of the older ways I've found is Kaufenbaeger. Does this Little (Klein) family tie into your research anyplace? Willing to share what I have.

Three of the sons of my ancestor Adam Little (Klein) married the daughters of Michael Ritenour of Frederick County, VA. 1.) My g-g-g grandfather John Little married Elizabeth Ritenour 06 Mar 1806 2.) John's brother Martin married Sarah Ritenour 17 Jun 1819 3.) John's brother Jacob married Polly Ritenour 31 Dec 1808. I have tons of information on these lines. These sons of Adam Little started migrating to Greene County, Ohio after Adam's death in 1812. They were followed also by a whole lot of Ritenours.I have info on these also. I recently received another bit of information from another researcher , which conflicts with my information. I was told that Michael's (Ritenour) wife Catherine was Adam Little's daughter Catherine,,but I have some credible documentation that Catherine Little, daughter of Adam, married Isaac Oldacre of Frederick County. If Michael's wife Carherine was a Little, then it was probably another Catherine Little. But we will have to study that some more, I think. I would like to have the article on the Kern family and the others as well. I will be happy to send what I have to all who would like it. I will send my snail address in separate post to avoid giving it out to spammers and junk mailers who lurk on the internet :) Michael Little Wilmer L.

Hello, I don't know if this will help or cause confusion, but there is a Bullskin township in Fayette Co, PA. This is a couple of counties away from Frederick Co now, but I don't know how it was back in the 1760's. Someone else will probably know more. Good luck!

Jim, I have published an article on the Kern family (local newspaper). If you want a copy, give me your snail address. The article deals with Adam Kern Sr. (1730-1799) and two generations of his descendants. One of his sons was Adam Kern Jr. who married Margaret Ritenour. Kernstown was named for Adam Jr. Also, I have done some research on Samuel Sample, but cannot retrieve it at this time without extensive searching. I'm sure that you're familiar with the Albin book by Ethel Albin of Sabetha, Kansas. If not, send me a note that you would like to have her address. Wilmer L.

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me. My ancestor Isaac Thrasher said he was born 1764 (but might be about 1766), 2 days sail from Land, his family first settled in Harper's Ferry, in a place called Bullskin. I was told that Harper's Ferry was probably Fredirick County, VA at that time. Now Jefferson Co. WV. I hope to find the where they landed, ship's name and passenger list, but need to find the right County first. If this is the right area, where might the ship landed? Thanks, -- greg@eskimo.com http://www.eskimo.com/~greg

Does any on have further information Michael RITENOUR whose will was proved November 1825? He had wife Catherine and children Nancy wife of Samuel SAMPLE, Catherine wife of William ALBIN, Margaret (m Adam KERN 18 May 1807), Elizabeth LITTLE, Polly LITTLE, Christiania wife of Joseph THOMAS, Daniel RITENOUR, Sarah RITENOUR, Susannah RITENOUR, and Michael P. RITENOUR. Thanks, Jim Scofield Scofield@ccnet.com Researching: SHRYOCK, YOST, FINKBINE, NEWCOMB, KERN, LAWYER, RITTER, and DAILEY of Frederick Co.

Boswell Surname I lost the e-mail address of Ms. Stevenson who is researching the Boswell surname. I recently received a letter from someone who found a will for Thomas H. Boswell. Ms. Stevenson: Contact me ASAP. Others: Send me Ms. Stevenson (I believe her first name may be Meg) e-mail address if you have it in your files. Monte Buzzard <mbuzzard@fix.net>
