    3. This list can be a tremendous help to all of us if we will be careful to cite our sources when we pass on information. Of course, original documents are the best, but secondary sources are better than nothing. I suspect most of us got a lot of our information from Ellsworth Marshall Rust's book (or the microfilmed version from the Mormons). Maybe we could agree to use the convention "EMR + page number" for references to it, to save a few keystrokes. My line (almost all from EMR) goes: William RUST = Ann METCALFE Samuel RUST = Martha --- (how do you all know her maiden name?) Capt. Peter RUST = Elizabeth NEWTON Mary RUST = Griffin GARLAND Elizabeth Rust GARLAND = George Woodbridge YERBY William Garland YERBY = Frances (Fanny) PULLEN Albert Festus YERBY = Olivia Beale MCCARTY Adela Beale YERBY = Arthur LEFEVRE I'll be happy to post details if anyone wants them. I also have quite a bit of information about the ancestors of some of the spouses. I'm particularly interested in documentation for Martha GARNER and Bridget TURNER's maiden names, as posted by several people. I also noted that Julia French Wood has a PULLEN in her line. I hope we can connect--I haven't been able to identify Frances PULLEN Yerby's parents yet. She was born in Richmond Co, VA, near Warsaw, probably before 1800. Letter from Adela Beale YERBY Lefevre to her son Arthur LEFEVRE Jr. (undated; written between 16 Oct. 1937 and 30 July 1940), in possession of Kathleen Much: "Pa's father, William Garland Yerby, married Frances Pullen, who died near Upperville [Fauquier Co, VA] 1867. Both born near Warsaw [Richmond Co, VA]." G.H.S King, _Marriages of Richmond County, VA, 1668-1853_, p. 238: "YERBY, WILLIAM G. and Fanny Pullin, bond 18 July 1815. William D. McCarty (b)."
