--------------------- Forwarded message: From: wrowe@hunton.com (Rowe, William) To: RASANDIDGE@aol.com (RASANDIDGE) CC: SANDIDGE-L-request@rootsweb.com (Sandidge) Date: 97-11-14 12:17:00 EST Thanks for your reports on the Amherst visit. Do you think the Sandidges you found at Oronoco could be the ancestors of "cousin Billy," the clerk of court. I've always been curious how he ties in to the tree. I think his father may have been Earnest Sandidge, but I'm not sure. You offered info on the other families you found at Oronoco. One was Hill. My great grandfather, William Lee Sandidge, married Lula Jane Cox whose mother, I believe, was Jane Hill. The Cox family lived in Amherst after the War so I assume that Jane Hill was from Amherst as well. Did you see any evidence of a Hill to Cox link? A Jane Hill Cox or any Cox markers? ---------- From: RASANDIDGE To: HIGGINBOTHAM-L; SANDIDGE-L Subject: Correction on birth date of Hester Ware Date: Friday, October 31, 1997 10:36PM Hi, Josephine pointed out my mistake on Hester. Her birth date should be Jan. 14, 1844. Did the HIGGINBOTHAM list received my previous email about the info on the Higginbotham tombstones? I received an error that stated the following: ----- The following addresses have delivery notifications ----- HIGGINBOTHAM -L@rootsweb.com (unrecoverable error) At the Amherst Historical Society they have a comprehensive manuscript by L. David Roper, dated October, 1996. It is titled "Higginbotham Family of Amherst County VA and England". It gives Mr. Roper's internet address as ROPERLD@VT.EDU I also have some more tombstone info on the surnames of HILL, MARTIN, MAYS, MYERS, TOMLIN, TUCKER, BYERS, GORDON, ROGERS and the following SANDIDGE.
