My husband's grandmother was Elnora Baird and her father was Robert Baird and Mary Wray and Robert's father was Thomas Baird who married Wesson. Elnora married Robin Thomas and his family goes back and covers a lot of the Thomas, Jones, Clary, Pearson families. I love researching the families and seeing how they all come together. Thanks for all the info you supply. Richard Baird was my husbands uncle and did a lot of research on these families and gave me in handwritting which I treasure. Of course the book on Ebony, Virginia is filled with great info also.

I keep a folder of things I want to look up in Richmond, so I'll print this email and put it in this folder. I only live about 50 minutes from the Richmond archives. Yes Baskerville's married into the Dortch family. I'm not seeing one in my tree at the moment though, so I don't have a direct line to them, but I think I saw one of William Archer Dortch's uncles married a Baskerville. I need to look in my older Dortch family folder. In Mecklenburg County VA, pre-civil war days Dortch family married: Holmes, Taylor, Moss, Jeffries, Vaughan, Walker, Thatcher, Speed, Saunders, Ryland, Jones, Gayle, Burton, and Mise families. In my tree I know about and have connections to the following Poythress families in Mecklenburg VA: - Mary Speed Dortch (sister of William Archer and son of Newman Dortch and Sarah Speed) married David Poythress. Sally Dortch married David Poythress. (Lewis and Rebecca Taylor) William Lewis Poythress (son of Thomas Poythress and Lucy Thomas) married Anna B. Jones "Ella." I am related to Anna's siblings (her sister is another great grandma of mine Sarah Elizabeth Jones) and have a transcribed Bible of this Jones family if interested. I just found out about this marriage, so do any of you know about these two, or are related to them? I am told this is the parents of Foxhall Poythress who married one of Nannie Gray Kidd's children Annie May Kidd. Nannie is a child of Sarah E. Jones. In Warren county, Oliver Jasper Dortch (son of Sarah Poythress and William Archer Dortch) settled in Warren Co. NC. They married Vanlandingham, Fleming, and Joyner, and descendants are still there.

Libbee, I was looking through old emails and saw you referenced a book about Ebony. Do you know how to get a copy? Do you have a copy yourself?
