In a message dated 99-12-05 18:53:29 EST, you write: << Do you know who all these people are? I don't have all of them in my database. >> Well, let me try to figure them out from what I do know. Here's my database before I enter any of this Bible info. Most of the names on the marriages and births page of the Bible are children of Dudley Sandidge, son of William and Tamasin. Note that my previous "family gossip" seems to line up if one substitutes the Bible's names with appropriate nicknames, e.g, Mary Elizabeth being "Bettie." Here is that family (before corrections from family Bible): Descendants of Dudley Sandidge 1 Captain Dudley Sandidge b: February 28, 1786 in Virginia d: December 16, 1861 in Amherst County, Virginia .. +Malinda "Balinda" Smith b: 1796 in Virginia d: May 30, 1883 in Amherst County, Virginia . 2 John Sandidge b: Bet. 1819 - 1845 d: Unknown ..... +Helen Cash b: Bet. 1815 - 1855 d: Unknown . 2 Regina Sandidge b: Bet. 1819 - 1845 d: Unknown ..... +Enoch Jeffries b: Bet. 1805 - 1850 d: Unknown . 2 Sallie Sandidge b: Bet. 1819 - 1845 d: Unknown ..... +Edward Evans b: Bet. 1815 - 1850 in Appomatox County, Virginia d: Unknown . 2 Christopher Columbus Sandidge b: 1821 in Amherst County, Virginia d: December 27, 1864 in Richmond, Virginia (Hollywood Cemetary) ..... +Susan Christian Woodson b: Bet. 1815 - 1845 in Amherst County, Virginia d: Unknown . 2 Bettie Sandidge b: 1826 d: Unknown ..... +Jacob Madison Woodson b: Bet. 1810 - 1845 d: Unknown . 2 Seaton Sandidge b: 1828 d: Unknown . 2 Mildred Isabella Sandidge b: April 07, 1832 d: October 08, 1898 ..... +David Staples Woodson b: Bet. 1820 - 1835 . 2 Valentine F. Sandidge b: April 16, 1833 in Amherst County, Virginia d: May 24, 1914 in Lynchburg, Virginia ..... +Mary Elizabeth Lee b: May 23, 1833 in Amherst County, Virginia d: December 30, 1863 in Amherst County, Virginia (High Peak Farm) . *2nd Wife of Valentine F. Sandidge: ..... +Elizabeth Valentine'sp Sandidge b: Bet. 1830 - 1850 . 2 Richard P. Sandidge b: 1835 d: Aft. 1865 ..... +Sprouse b: Bet. 1810 - 1845 d: Unknown . 2 Ann Sandidge b: 1836 d: Unknown . 2 William D. Sandidge b: 1837 in Amherst County, Virginia d: 1861 in Elon, Amherst County, Virginia Now, as for the names that are not this family group. Belinda (Smith) Sandidge who died May 30, 1883, I believe was Dudley Sandidge's wife. Because her sister also married a Sandidge, I will show part of her tree here: Descendants of John Smith 1 John Smith b: Bet. 1760 - 1765 d: Bef. December 17, 1821 in Amherst County, Virginia . +Sarah "Sally" Ware b: Abt. 1765 in Mount Moriah Church, Amherst County, Virginia m: December 05, 1785 in Amherst County, Virginia Father: Edward Ware Mother: Letitia Powell ..... 2 Malinda "Balinda" Smith b: 1796 in Virginia d: May 30, 1883 in Amherst County, Virginia ......... +Captain Dudley Sandidge b: February 28, 1786 in Virginia d: December 16, 1861 in Amherst County, Virginia m: October 26, 1818 in Amherst County, Virginia Father: William Sandidge V Mother: Tamasin "Tamsey" Higginbotham ..... 2 Nancy Smith b: Abt. 1792 d: in Amherst County, Virginia ......... +Dabney Sandidge b: 1788 in Amherst County, Virginia d: Aft. October 03, 1850 in Amherst County, Virginia m: July 21, 1828 Father: William Sandidge V Mother: Tamasin "Tamsey" Higginbotham I would guess that Richard P. Smith who died January 21, 1851 was Belinda Smith's brother who married Mary Tucker.
