    1. [PAGRE] Dripps and Vanausdal Families
    2. Several ancestors lived Franklin Township starting by 1788.? One, John Dripps and family immigrated from Ireland in 17 (?).? The other, Cornelius Vanausdal moved from Berkeley County, WV about 1787-8.? At that time, Franklin was in Washington County since Greene was not formed until 1796. I am trying to find the grave site for the Dripps family and especially an early marriage bond for John Drips, JR, and Elizabeth Vanausdal who married in 1805.? John Dripps SR died in 1817 and wife probably about 1830. Aside from Cornerstone Gen Society, is there anywhere in Greene/Washington that would likely have early records (courthouse or otherwise)?? And, the Dripps family was likely Presbyterian if there was a church in or near Franklin in 1805.? Is there a list of early churches in that area (John and wife Nanny Agnes Dripps may be buried in a church cemetery)? Since I live in Atlanta, planning the time needed to complete research and find records is limited.? Also, is there a researcher in Greene I may want to contact and ask to do some advanced work for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom Chrisman
