I read a comment on someone's posting about, I thought, Amelia County. The only reason I asked (and please don't spend anymore time on it), my great-great-great-great aunt was named Amelia Henry. Married a man named Joel Henry and lived in Georgetown Co. in the early 1700's. I just wondered. Hope your Christmas is bright! Caroline -----Original Message----- From: Charles L.
