F. W. Scantling was Fernando Wood Scantling, and yes I do believe that Fernando was a brother to Charles W. Scantling.  I believe they were sons of William A. Scantling and wife Mary Elizabeth Clark.   Fernando and wife Blanche Shanks are buried in Rockgate Cemetery in Crozet, Albemarle County, Virginia.  Interestingly, the last name is spelled as "Scantlin" on the gravestone, without the 'g'.  Fernando's and Charles' mother, Mary Elizabeth (Clark) Scantlin, is also buried in that cemetery (Oct. 10, 1834 - Jan. 16, 1919).   Charles' son, Norman, with 2nd wife Margaret "Maggie" Graves, is also buried in Rockgate Cemetery with the dates 1901 - 1980 on his marker.   I had first traced Fernando thinking that with his initials the same as Fred's that he was a likely candidate to be his father.  However, I have since ruled Fernando out and now believe that it was likely Charles that was Fred's father.  I just can't find that one concrete piece of evidence to prove it.   Michael --- On Wed, 9/9/09, Georgia L.

Scantling, possible/potential father of Frederick William Scantling, was listed as age 70 on the 1930 Census for White Hall District, Albemarle County, Virginia. Since an Obituary for Charles would be more recent, it might be worth hunting for his obit as well to see if any and all children were listed.

The Local Genealogy societies, usually located at libraries, collect ALL this info. Some on line now. COUNTY/STATE USGENWEB should get you close to an address. Many you write and a very small donation keeps them happy. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: sellers-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sellers-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Beverly Taylor Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 7:43 PM To: sellers@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SELLERS] Scantling-Sellers info needed I don't know about others, but I have had a ton of luck getting obits by calling the local libraries in the cities that I am finding people died. An occasional $5 charge can get a lot of obits with the death dates known. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SELLERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SELLERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SELLERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SELLERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
