Searching for George Lewis WOLF b. 1752 in Frederick Co., VA d. 1848 in Harrison Co., KY. m Barbara ? He is listed in the 1840 Census of Rev. War pensioners. We know a great deal about the line once he got to KY but little before. We think they came to KY through Sullivan Co., TN. We also have reason to believe that he was on the Grand Jury in Frederick Co. and moved to KY to take land given for service during Rev. War but we have no documentation. Pat

Hazael Williams was the son of Elisha Williams. There is a lot written on this family. I'll have to look up the figures on Hazeal. The family later moved to Bath Co., Va. Elisha, the father, was originally from Frederick Co., Maryland. I believe Hazael might have married a Gore. I might be wrong on that until I check.

There was a family of Tucker's in Knoxville, Frederick Co MD. Two of the children were Charles Tucker and Elizabeth Tucker. Elizabeth probably born around 1923 and Charles around 1921. Curt

I do not have any information about your Tucker line, but I do have a question. My ggg-grandfather was Joseph House Johnson, born in Hampshire Co, VA in 1785. I have not been able to identify his parents, but family members suspect his mother's maiden name may have been House. He moved to Montgomery Co, OH in 1806. Have you seen any Johnsons connected to your House/Tucker line?

I can remember see the surname Wolf in Loudoun county. Same for Simeon Haines, who had land in the western area of Purcellville. Tom Bishop

I'm wondering who these people are, from a Frederick county 1779 legislative petition: Hazael Williams, Simon Harr, Adam Hand. Their names adjoined Aron Bonam and Samuel Bishop on the petition. I'm trying to learn about the people who were know to the Bonhams and Bishops. Tom Bishop

Records at Frederick County MD were burned in a fire. Birth, Death, Marriage etc. I do not know the exact date but I have not been able to find a birth record for Vernon Edgar Webber born about 1890 in Knoxville Frederick Co MD Curt

I originally posted the "on the bridge at Harpers Ferry" marriage query. Since that time, I've found the couples' marriage record. It wasn't in Jefferson Co., (W)VA as I suspected. I found it "finally" in Frederick Co., MD. This was Apr. 1858. Can hardly believe that you could legally do this even then. The actual license was taken out in Fred. Co., MD but there is no record of the marriage return. Evidently, there are "no" marriage returns for that era. The clerk just assumed that the couple actually married.

Hi all, Just a note to let you know that because of the following system upgrades, there may be some lag time on the Discussion lists and down time on the websites in the next few days. If you need to get in touch with me, please feel to e-mail me. Thanks! Yvonne alternate addresses: daisy@usroots.com or hen1@idt.net Note from the ROOTSWEB owner "Dr. Brian Leverich": As you probably know, load on RootsWeb has been skyrocketing. The lists.rootsweb.com server now handles about 50% of the load of the biggest listserver on Earth (plum.lsoft.com), and the www.rootsweb.com server now handles about 20-40% of the load of www.microsoft.com (and they use 15 servers (-8 ). One problem we're having is that the Linux operating system just doesn't seem to be able to handle this load gracefully. We've been having multiple system crashes each day, and it's basically preventing us from doing other things we want to do (like get search engines up and Web interfaces to your message archives). Anyway, the solution seems to be shifting to a different version of Unix -- FreeBSD -- which is generally regarded as much more stable under load than Linux. FreeBSD is used by a number of very large sites, including Yahoo and ftp.cdrom.com (the world's busiest FTP site). We'll be converting lists.rootsweb.com and www.rootsweb.com to FreeBSD over the next few days. You can expect some down time and probably some annoying glitches as we make the transition. Please bear with us -- I think we'll have the moves completed in the next few days, and I'm guessing that we'll be fully back to normal (including achieving our old 98%+ uptime performance) within two weeks.

Regarding several postings, marriage on the Harpers Ferry bridge must have been common. My first cousin twice removed, John Baily Griffith married Anne Susanne Huffman on the bridge August 11, 1880. He was the son of Andrew Clendenning Griffith of Winchester so I presume he traveled some distance to be married on the bridge. I would like to hear from anyone researching the Griffith/Clendenning lines in Frederick County. Dennis Griffith Sioux Falls, SD

Hi, Do you know these people? I've been stuck here for years and need a lead! Looking for my gr-gr-grandparents in Frederick/Hampshire Counties area. John EATON, born about 1810 married Anna OWENS, born about 1815, both in Virginia. Believe John's parents were Joseph EATON and Susanna FISHER married about 1805 in Frederick Co. These EATONs also married into the Hampshire Co. DeLONG family in Fairfield Co., Ohio. Any suggestions appreciated. charla in nj Charla Marchione marchpubs@juno.com
