I have an interest in Hawkins CO TN because my Cope Quaker DNA appears in William Cope b) 1779 VA and James Cope b) 1784 VA listed on the 1830 Hawkins CO TN census . I have seen the Russell surname in Russell CO VA and I believe William Russell is listed in my Frederick CO VA deed books. I also tract the Gillispies' found in New Castle CO De and in Rowan CO NC 1760s. I know now that the majority of families listed on 12 1768 Rowan CO NC tax lists have Quaker connections. Check this out- if you could place your self in what became Frederick CO VA 1730s and you were Looking South and West what would you have behind you.

The archives of the individual Mailing Lists are both browseable and searchable from two separate RootsWeb archives. Most Mailing Lists at RootsWeb are archived. The Threaded (browseable) Archives is at: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and the Interactive Search (searchable archives) is located here: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Both of these links -- Interactive Search and Threaded Archives can also be found under the Mailing List section on RootsWeb's Home Page: http://www.rootsweb.com/ In the Threaded Archives, responses to an original message are displayed attached to the message to which they are replying in an outline format with responses indented from the original message. Thus you can follow an entire subject of discussion by tracing through a thread of messages in the archives. Browsing the Threaded Archives also benefits new Mailing List subscribers who may want to get a feel for the list before posting to it or wish to check out whether their ancestors have previously been discussed. It also aids current Mailing List members by enabling them to check messages they might have missed while on vacation, during e-mail delivery problems, or because of a computer crash. Starting at the Threaded Archives http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ type in the Mailing List name of your choice to access an index page showing each month and year included in that particular list's archives. View an outline of the subjects of all messages posted to the Mailing List within a given month (including the poster's name and date posted, if desired) in either threaded (the default) or chronological order. Click on a subject of interest to view the full text of the message. The Interactive Search located here: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl allows you to search a single Mailing List one year at a time by marking the appropriate radio button. (Radio buttons are round circles which represent choices within an list of options on a form.) Select a keyword, name, or phrase to obtain results matching your search criteria. The Interactive Search supports some Boolean operators (AND, OR, ANDNOT) to help you establish the most effective searches to suit your needs. Boolean expressions are used extensively by Internet search engines. By default, your searches will include every field in a message, but you may narrow down your results by specifying that you want your search to apply only to matches in a specific field. In the following examples all Boolean operators are shown in capital letters while all search criteria are shown lowercase. This is for explanatory purposes only -- as both are case insensitive. You may search for john OR smith by using the OR operator. You will obtain all messages containing either the word John or Smith. However, if you search on "john smith" or john+smith the results will only yield instances where the words John and Smith appear in that exact sequence. The use of quotes or a plus sign creates a complete phrase. Searching for john AND smith (using the AND operator), or john smith (with a single space separating John and Smith) will yield results where John and Smith appear somewhere in the message, but not necessarily side-by- side. The ANDNOT operator may also be used as follows: john ANDNOT smith which would yield all messages where the word John was found unless the message also included the word Smith. Grouping search criteria and the applicable operators within parentheses will permit more complex searches. For example, (sarah AND jones) OR (john AND smith) will yield results where Sarah AND Jones OR John AND Smith appear somewhere in a message but the words are not necessarily side-by-side. Searching on a specific message field, such as searching for all messages posted to a list by a specific poster during a year, is accomplished by typing in the search criteria: from/johndoe@anyisp.net Only the "from" field will be searched. If you are looking for a specific thread and you know the subject or partial subject you wish to locate, you may opt to search the "subject" field only, as follows: subject/"john smith in ohio" -- note that double quotation marks are used to tie the entire phrase together when you are searching for more than a single word. The phrase in quotation marks must match the subject, or a portion of the subject, exactly to return a hit. You may search for all messages posted on a given day without specifying a field but you must use quotation marks to tie the phrase together. For example: "02 may 2002" will get all messages posted on May 2, 2002 and "22 may 2002" will get all messages posted on May 22, 2002. Searching on "may 2002" will yield all messages posted within the month of May 2002, and searching on 2001 will result in getting all messages posted to the list for the entire year. Interactive list searches support trailing wildcards only (wildcards coming at the end of a word). Use an asterisk * to represent zero or more unknown or variable letters at the end of a word after you have specified a minimum of at least the first letter. Interactive list searches work on whole words and not strings of letters. In other words, if you search for john and a message includes johnson it won't come up in your results -- but if you search on john* it will. One benefit of the searches applying to words rather than strings of letters is that a search on sy will pick up the given name or surname Sy but will not yield words which include the string "sy" such as the word "easy". Exploring the Mailing Lists Threaded Archives and using the Interactive Search capabilities in creative ways may reward you with some previously buried genealogical treasures.

According to the Shenandoah website, Enoch Henry married Frances Smith 15 Dec. 1801. Does anyone have access to the records and/or a book that tells who the bondsman (if any) and the name of the minister that married them or can you point me in the direction of someone that can look this up for me? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.14.19/231 - Release Date: 1/16/2006

Hi List, I know that the Cope-L@rootsweb.com mailing list has Archives since 1998 showing each year and month with all postings sent to that mailing list. I would think the Old-Frederick CO VA mailing list would have a Archive file to see every e-mail ever sent to this list. I have hundreds of E-mals on the Cope-L list with a ton of Quaker related family chart letters and Boone family history I sent to them. My computer crashed this morning but blew the dust out of the old buggy and got it back up in running now with a new version of AOL.9 from the old Aol.7 I had and like it alot. This year I will send the dozens of Quaker families I charted in Frederick CO VA taken first from wills there with my added Quaker files here at home. I use the Frederick CO VA deed books I had bought for me of which there are 8 Frederick CO VA deeds books from 1743-1789 . You can buy all these books for about 30 dollars apiece from William Bend Books the place for Quaker books as well. We all need these books to help each other solve just how many Quakers are in Frederick CO VA and there are tons of them starting in the 1730s as you have seen from my research. The Wlll book for Frederick CO VA I copied page for page at my local library and need the book itself to solve more . I use the will book and compare it with the Deed books and then got my my Quaker books for connections. You have noticed that New Castle CO DE , Nottingham, PA and Burlington CO NJ Quakers are showing up early on the Frederick CO VA records. The Frederick CO VA deed books show where some families came from and where some families moved to and this is a HUB for Quaker migration sort of a bus station to all parts of America . The biggest find I ver made was finding out that Daniel Boone of KY was born a Quaker and then finding out the Cope's were Quakers and my DNA matches the Quaker Copes'. Sincerely, David Crow Cope of CA

I deleted some of the messages that I had received from the Old-Frederick-Co-VA mailing list. How can I read those messages on the mailing list. The messages I am most concerned about are those about Quakers in Frederick County.

How do I post? I asked for a subscription, but when I ask to post you ask me to subscribe. What must I do?

Hi List, Iam having problems for this first time with my computer which is 4 years old and about to die on me.
