I'll just add (as a volunteer at the Family History Center in Omaha) that there should be no taxes or fees, in fact--just the $3.25. The film will then be available for your use at the local FHC for 5 weeks. If you renew it (by paying another $3.25), it will be available for a further 9 weeks. If you renew it yet again, the film will stay at your local branch permanently. To discover the FHC closest to you, have a look at http://www.familysearch.org (where you can also peruse the catalog and see what has been filmed--search by place).

Hi, Thank you for the sharing the Catoctin Church, Virginia site! I have learned alot already about the area. Concerning the Quaker angle, I recently found a Quaker Lane in my ADC Virginia Atlas located just northwest of Saint Louis, Loudoun Co., VA which is just alittle northwest of Middleburg on Route #50. I am real interested in the history of Saint Louis and the surrounding area and I have not been able to find out much about Saint Louis; however, it must have been important enough to name the road going to it Saint Louis Road which runs north to Snickersville Turnpike Route #734. Thanks again, Chocy

The Library of VA has microfilmed the tax lists. They're available at the Library, and also available through libraries on interlibrary loan. Ruth

Please excuse me if this is a redundant post, but I am new to the list and in urgent need of some quick information. Does anybody have access to, or know where I can access, tax lists from Frederick County for the period up to 1800? I have run against a brick wall looking for members of the HURDLE family in Frederick County during that time because the Federal census records from Virginia were burned in the War of 1812. I sincerely hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

After looking at this site more closely, I believe that I have met the creator. If you have a few minutes, be sure to look at the "Lost & Found Old Photographs" area. This lady does this as a pure labor of love. She buys these old photographs at antique shops, estate sales, etc. and then tries to find someone from their family who will appreciate them. After talking with her several times at the Library of Virginia, I labeled all my family portraits on the back!

Maybe, me dragging the favorite site over to the email is not working. It shows up as vagenealogy when I do that. So sorry. June

vagenealogy I found this site and enjoyed viewing it. It covers people from many counties. When trying to find a person this might be one of the sites to help you. The site will be updated as the information comes in. June

Does anyone know who this Morgan Henry was or have any info about his family? Grant H-717, made Oct. 22, 1756, for 486 a. for an individual named Frederick Hall, in Frederick Co., VA, the property description states the property adjoins Morgan Henry, Joseph Car, and Benjamin Machall. I would like to place this Morgan Henry if at all possible. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was just reading the Rootsweb Weekly Newsletter, and thought I would share this with this list. It is from the July 16, 2003 issue of the Red Cloud Chief Newspaper in Red Cloud, Nebraska. This paper has a column called Down Thru The Years where they go back to old newspapers and print items from them. This came from an old newspaper in Red Cloud called The Commercial Advertiser and is dated 1928. "George P Cather Sr Recalls Early Days George P Cather happened to mention the fact that it had been just 50 years since he left his home in Frederick County, Virginia and was married in Frederick, Maryland to Miss Frances A Smith. Starting north that day, June 26, 1873, the "honeymooners" spent several days in Washington, DC, visiting the capitol buildings. They spent some time in Brooklyn and New York City, and on the Fourth of July, 1873, heard "Boss Tweed" speak in "the wigwam" as the party headquarters were then called, and on Sunday heard Henry Ward Beecher preach in the old Plymouth Church. At Hartford, Vermont, they visited several relatives, among them a cousin who was renting from the Beecher's and living in the old home where Daniel Webster was raised, and in Oxford, New Hampshire they made their last visit to Mrs Cather's father, who passed away before either of them had the privilege of again visiting the east. They soon started west, visiting relatives in Illinois and Iowa, where they had planned to locate, but being advised by an uncle that cheaper land was then to be found in Nebraska, they continued westward and landed in Hastings on September 21, 1873. After spending several days with Isaac Hummell in what is now known as Batin, having been driven over many pieces of land and having found their first three or four selections taken before they could reach the land office, they finally found themselves located on SW1/4 2-T-3-12 in Webster County. They, with a pile of lumber intended for the roof of their future home, a dugout on the west side of the draw, their trunks and boxes, and a man who had been hired to do the digging necessary for the establishment of the home, were left alone on the open prairie, and went to sleep under their new white bedding, with only the stars above and the thick waving prairie grass on all sides. In the middle of the first night the party was awakened by the much dreaded roar of the prairie fire. Hurriedly building another fire they had all their goods moved over to the uninviting black stubble before the big fire roared by. Morning found them with an abundance of accumulated smoke and grime, but with a very short supply of water, so Mr Cather took two pails and walked two miles across the burnt waste to the home of Isaac Crowley to borrow some water. This was the beginning and the welcome of the Cathers in 1873 and marked the beginning of emigration from Frederick County, Virginia to Webster County, Nebraska, for within a very few years more Cathers had arrived, also the Rameys, Larricks, Lockharts, Crabills, Wilsons, Wisecarvers, Markers and Paynes, and later several other families. Mr Cather, though he passed the eighty first milestone last March, is hale and hearty for one of his advanced years, He is still proud to call the old place in Webster County his home, and when here spends many hours walking over the original acres, upon which time had made many changes and doubtless owes beneficial effects of the exercise acquired in this manner, and in going from home to home among the many friends he has acquired during the years he has lived in what he considers one of the most favored spots in the land."
