Dear Sandidge researchers Today I spent some time at the Library of Virginia, the Digital Library Program and found some land grants for John Sandidge, William, Elizabeth, Larkin, etc. These are great and I had a lot of fun printing them out. You have to have a compatabile tiff reader, but if you do not have one (or don't know if you have one) they have one that you can download. I had to print them out using the tool bar that comes with the the image - not the usual "click File, then Print" on my win 95 tool bar. Some of the images are small, but they are readable. You might want to check it out: <http://www.lva.lib.va.us> Good luck, Karen

Karen't mention of land records reminded me of something I wanted to send ya'll: Remember also that the US Govt's Land Management office is trying to get land records online for each state -- every two or 3 months I go there and they have added another state or two of records which not only are searchable but also by using the program you can download free of charge can actually see the information within the documents themselves (which office sold land, whether sale or given to person, amount of sale, date, etc) -- just remember to search by ALL variations of names. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov (don't recall all the states but pretty sure Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and other states going east of those has searchable records -- the first page shows the states they have online at that time in a colorful map.

Hello, everyone, I haven't talked to Mr. Sandige again but I was looking on my family tree and there is a Thomas Sandidge/Sandage/Sandige who married a Francis. Does anyone have proof of this Thomas who married Frances Chappell and his birth of 1691? Mr. Sandige had a Thomas also who married a Francis. A note I have from a past message from the Sandidge list said the following: (Date: 98-07-19 21:25:50 EDT From: janie@discoverynet.com (carolyn s jackson) To: SANDIDGE-L@rootsweb.com A couple years ago when I was researching in Virginia-land I found the following that mentions Thomas Sanadge (Sandage?): It is from "Cavaliers & Pioneers" Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents & Grants, Patent Book # 9, Page 55: CHICHELEY CORBIN THACKER, 3080 acs., K. & Q. Co., in Pamunkey Neck; 12 Nov. 1701/2, p. 427. Beg. in Darrell's line; to Perry's Sw; near North Wales Path; by runn of the up. Herring Cr; to Mr. Whitehead's line, & c. Trans. of 62 pers: ............THOMAS SANADGE Could this possibly be Thomas as of Thomas & Frances Chappell? What do you think? I do have the names of the other 61 persons, if anyone thinks they need it.) End of that message. Now if Thomas Sandidge/Sandige/ Sandage/Sanadge was born 1691, would he be mentioned about land in 1701? I don't have this book so don't know if Thomas was getting land or selling land or what? That would make Thomas 10 yrs old. Mr. Sandige had two brothers leaving Scotland around 1650 which would make Thomas in 1701 older than fifty. I also see what Jean McGee saw about Henry, son of Thomas & Francis Sandige, killed in the Civil War. I'll ask Mr. Sandige some of these things when I get a chance to talk to him. Remember he was getting this info from a great aunt who probably got it from stories handed down from her ancestors. My ancestors have said that William was of Swedish descent and married Elizabeth Taylor which we haven't proven and now think otherwise.

Does anyone have any records handy for South Carolina? I am trying to find the census readings for Union Co SC -- I have the 1790 one and 1800 but trying to find more about Nathan Sandidge/Sandage/Sandredge (and sic -- even showed as Savage one time I believe) who was son of Nathan Sandage, Sr. b ca 1754 (mentioned in previous post) whose wife was Mary Canady/Kenedy. It is said that he was on the 1840 census still in Union co, SC and went by name of Sandredge/Sandridge -- would like someone to send me the readings from the 1810 thru 1860 census readings for him (and any of his children you find). Also seeking the land transfers/sales/willed in Union Co, SC. In Nathan's will it showed he left the following land to his 3 sons and his "beloved wife, Mary": "100 acres of the land on which they lived and 100 acres adjoining their land and David Stuart's land up the creek" and 25 acres "adjoining the plantation whereon I now live on one side -- the other side adjoining George Hope." After she died their son Thomas was to have the "100 acres joining David Stuart's", son Nathan was to have the land "on the south side of Cane Creek joining land held by Simon Creech, Peter Hegpeth and John Boolare(d)" and to son Moses he was to get "the plantation whereon I now live". (this will recorded Apr 5, 1819 Union Co, SC Union Wills Vol 2 Book B page 70D,1C(1)) Now if they had land when he died then Mary the wife or the 3 children had to have disposed of land in some manner at some time (unless it is STILL in the Sandage hands which I really doubt) -- I would LOVE to find some old maps in 1800's of that area showing who the owners are (this would give us a timeframe of before or after map of whether the Sandages sold, willed, etc. land to someone else so we could look for sale, will, etc. before or after that date. I live in Ohio and do not have access to these old maps, land transfer/sale deeds or wills in SC If anyone lives in SC or has access to any books or microfilms or to the records themselves -- would LOVE to find out anything about this land. Thanks in advance; hoping someone can help me with the census and land issues, Judy M. jmurphy@erinet.com Judith Sandage Murphy P.O.Box 1333 Fairborn, OH 45324-1333

Not proven, but an old genealogist (she is in late 90's now and haven't gotten response to my letters as to WHERE she found this info) told me that John, b ca 1666 england and d 1708 New Kent VA (your #1) was son of (Col) James Thomas Sandwich, b ca 1620 England -- said that James went by Thomas and James both in records she found.(sure wish I knew WHAT records those were and where they are located........) Said that your #1 John Sandidge had wife #2 Kathleen Pendleton and his first wife was Mary Vaughn. Mentions a son of his William baptized Jul 10, 1698 New Kent Co, VA St. Peter's Parish and this would be your #2 on list. She told me that John and Mary Vaughn also had son Thomas Sanbige, b 1691 New Kent Co, VA or Albemarle/Spotsylvania Cos in VA and spouse of Frances Choppell/Chappelle who you also show as your #2 and Thomas' son as #3 Nathan. But so far I have never PROVEN any of this and also seek the proof that Thomas and Mary Vaughn are parents of Nathan. It is said that Thomas and Frances (Choppell) Sanbige/Sandidge moved from VA to SC and this ALSO I am trying to find info on -- where in SC did they move, and who are the other children that they had, when and where did they die, etc. I really doubt that this person listed in book is the Thomas who married Frances Choppell, and if willed to him he would have been 17 years old and this would have been after his father John died 1708. I still haven't figured out where they got this 1701 since the quote didn't say anything about this being date of land transfers in the book......... Now John had to have come from England AFTER 1666 timeframe since this is when he was supposed to have been born in England -- and yet nothing I find anywhere shows that his father James (Thomas) actually stayed in England -- for all we know his father aka Thomas may have come to VA with John and may be the Thomas mentioned in this land grant if the actual date really IS 1701. Of course many times grandchildren DO get land upon death of a grandfather, so who is to say that this was not land that James Thomas Sandwich may have owned (if he came to America too). Just making assumptions and talking "out loud" my thoughts as I have been trying to prove this stuff for 35 years........ As for the Thomas and Frances' child being in civil war -- I really doubt this since this is around 100 years!!! after Nathan was said to have been born (ca 1754) and I believe it is said that Thomas and Frances also had another son, William (again haven't proven the children of Thomas and Frances and still seeking all their names) who also was supposed to have been born around the same timeframe -- so it is VERY UNLIKELY that this is the SAME Thomas and Frances' child who was in civil war. War of 1812 or even Rev War would have been more like it, so this is probably ANOTHER Thomas and Frances. Just my 2cents worth and HOPING in my lifetime that someone finds proof of Nathan's parents really being Thomas and Frances (Choppell), and getting proof of all our older ancestors back to England, Ireland, Scotland or WHEREVER they came from......

The "two brothers" story is so familiar . Makes me wonder whether it is a common myth that one hears about almost all families of emigrants. Of course, one would want to check it out and see if it could be documented. Charles Severs

This old story is interesting and a nice story..but one question...How can the Henry that died in the Civil War...have so few generations between him and the original immigrant . The artice states that the original brother came over in 1650 and the war was in 1863-65. Am I not reading this right...? Jean

Hello, "cousins," Last weekend I met a Mr. Sandige who gave me the following information from genealogy information that his great aunt wrote down. If anyone can relate to this information or can tie it in with the Sandidge family, please let me know so I can tell Mr. Sandige. Thanks, Rita "About 1650 two brothers living in and natives of Scotland decided to go to the new country of the United States of America to seek their fortune. One of the brothers stopped in VA near central part and settled there. The other one ventured still further on as young fellas like to do, and settled in central West Virginia. Each remained in his chosen place and eventually married and raised a family. >From the WVA brother, Thomas, the present Sandige family came, as far as can be assertained. The other one stayed in VA. Thomas married Frances Jones, who had come with her father and mother from England. There was a brother, too, of hers, Levi Jones, who married to Leatha Peters, also a cousin Morris Harvey, the founder of Morris Harvey College, of Charleston, WVA. Union of Thomas and Francis was four sons, Edward Monroe, Joseph, Rufus, a young son Henry who was killed in the Civil War at age sixteen. There was one sister Ellen, a frail delicate girl of sixteen that died. Edward Monroe married Sarah Hashbarger whose parents were German. Her mother's maiden name was Bare, also German. To this union was born daughter, Rose, six brothers, Earl, Lud, Bud, William, Gug and Stuart in this order. Sarah Sandige died in 1914, Edward Monroe about 10 years later. Their final resting place is Princeton, WVA in Old Larys Cemetery. Four brothers, Will, Bud, Lud and Gug, sons of Edward and Sarah also lie buried there. Earl is in the WVA central part. Frances Sandige was a small woman with an unusual personality, highly intelligent and self educated. Well versed in Bible and a devoted Christian. Her son Edward Monroe was also a self educated man. A teacher in schools of WVA and Missouri. He spoke German and had a good knowledge of Greek and Latin. Joseph Abner Sandige was born VA 1852. He died Hico in June 1925 aged 73 years. His father Thomas was in General Lee's army. He had brother Henry who died age 16 at battle of Lewisburg. The family came to Fayette Co. in 1860 and settled in Beckwith. He married Stella Nichols on March 12, 1872. They moved to Beets P.O. on James River and Kanawha turnpike in 1883. Their children were Laura, Fred (lived in KY), Harry(headed a gas drilling company), Leonard (died single), Frank ( killed in mine accident), Wilbert (killed in railroad accident) and Seth Sidney who married Eva Neal."

Could you ask him what the name of the Sandige brother was that stayed in VA and if he knows which county he stayed in? Thanks, Judy M.

Everyone knows about the racist word the blacks hate so much -- now we find that the word SQUAW is now also on the racist, "foul" list -- so much so that they are even changing all names of towns and areas of the USA which has this in it -- wonder what Squaw valley will become......... In our genealogy research we oftentimes have to find old towns where names have been changed -- so thought this would be of interest to ya'll (especially if you live in areas where these names will be changed on ALL maps, etc. Same with all the Native American descendants -- figured they might want to know what is going on in this area.

I checked my WIlkersons in my records and the only Wilkerson I had that married a Sandidge married Pleasant D. Sandidge who was son of William Sandidge and (I forgot who) Woods......Many times members of the same branch will mary from a family, cousins or sisters . If might pay to check along these lines....Good luck, JCM

THanks for reminding us about Y2K. I checked my computer and it is o.k. I called the place I bought it from, just to be safe and they looked up my purchase records and said all was well except...Windows 98 had to be changed and any Financial Records programs that I might be running...will also need to be changed. Just a reminder...so am passing it on also....incase any of you need get your computers YsK Ready..

Here's an alternate suggestion: just buy a Macintosh Power PC instead of a WinTel PC. Then you won't need to worry about any of this Y2K nonsense affecting your computer. :-) Bill Vincent WmRVincent@aol.com In a message dated 8/9/99, SANDIDGE-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: <<Now that the year 2000 is getting closer remember to change the date on your PC to a 4-digit (go to controlpanel of windows and change the International or Regional date to 4-digit instead of 2). Date/Time also to 4-digit date. To check whether you have it correct use explorer (file manager) and look at your file dates (if dates are not showing choose option to see full details). Should now show as 4-digit. You can do this today and then forget about it. Reason this works is that 2-digit writes to harddrive as 00 and computer doesn't recognize it as a year (but a null) while it does recognize 2000. Have a wonderful coming year!!! Judy M.>>
