Hi list, I finally found my John Clemens, McDowell's Flying Camp and McDowell's 5th, War of 1812, etc. in Augusta Co. 1810 census. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get a plat map of Augusta Co. for the year 1810 or for that era? Also, since the courthouse burned in the late 1800's does anyone have any suggestions where I might go to find out where John farmed and where any records of the sale of the farm in 1824 or 1825 would be?

Can anyone out there help me...I am new to all these lists I have joined...I did it out of desperation...I am at a stand still on several names....these could be anywhere in Va. but I have joined the lists that are in the area they should be...is anyone out there researching these names... Elkins Showers Heflins Brown Specific to these names are: Philip Henry Showers b 1820 or 1843 in Penn or Jefferson County VA now WVA William Elkins b. 1800 Daniel Dorsey Elkins b. around 1840's to 1850's Evans "Doc" Brown b.?...maybe in Pocahontas County had to be in early to mid 1800's was married to a Fisher

Hi, all, I'm new to this list and here are my surnames of interest: COIL, Abraham born December 1780 in Virginia (assuming Shenandoah Co.) married Mary FILCHMEYER (could be FILSMOYER OR FILTZMOYER) June 11, 1810 in Shenandoah Co.; son David was born in Virginia April 25, 1811. The family moved to Morrow County, Ohio around 1820-1828. There was a second son, Reuben, born April 15, 1822. I'd love to hear from anyone else researching either of these surnames. Thanks, Maureen

List - I have been waiting to see what the answer was on this, but somehow I missed getting it. Could someone please tell me? Thanks. gail [email protected]

Thanks to all for your opinions. Most gave me comfort that they never heard of grand aunts or uncles; just like me. I guess there was never anyone living long enough to be referred to in any other way. The catch in genealogy is that we can now go back many generations and if I skip calling my mothers uncle as a granduncle then my 4th great grandmother's brother becomes my 5th great uncle instead of my 4th great granduncle. (Huh?) I'm getting out of here before I really mess up. Thanks again, Jim Wallace from Michigan in the beautiful Blue Water Area [email protected]

Hi Everyone........ :-) Tonight, I found just a hint of a possibility that my Ferguson line may have been in Frederick County, VA in the late 1700's (from about the 1760's on). Is there by chance anyone on this list that would have any information of the Ferguson's in the area at that time?..........Looking for information on a Father--Charles Ferguson that married either a Mary Kinchloe or a Rachel Massie........and his Son-- Isaac Ferguson that married a Susan(Sally) Haines (Her parents were Simeon Haines and Hannah Wolfe). Also, do know for sure that the family was of Quaker heritage. Any help on this Ferguson (Furguson) line would be most dearly appreciated by myself and great many others I have met on the net in the past few weeks..... :-) Rinda Lynn Ferguson -- Highland County, OH

I just found a marriage of Michael Krouse and Catherine Zimmerman in 1797 in Shenandoah Co., VA. Does anyone know of these people? Marc

Dear learned friends please help. Is my mother's uncle my granduncle or my great-uncle? My GGGG grandmother's brother is listed in my "Family Gathering" Relationship Report software as my 4th Great granduncle. Do you agree? Thank you, James Wm. Wallace

Myra, Sounds exciting; Albemarle is close to Augusta. I know very little about my Andrew WALLACE yet he is my proven progenitor. I have copies of the marriage bonds that he signed with his brother-in-law Thomas CALBREATH on March 1, 1796 in Augusta County, Virginia. He married Margaret CALBREATH, the daughter of Thomas CALBREATH and Margaret (JOHNSTON) CALBREATH. I have a record of his presence in Augusta County for the property settlement of his father-in-law Thomas CALBREATH in 1801 and I know that they had at least one son, Thomas M. WALLACE, born in 1805 in Tennessee. His mother appears as a widow in the Smith County, TN census of 1820 as Peggy WALLACE, again in 1830 as Margaret, and in 1850 as a member of the household of her son Thomas M. WALLACE. Thomas M. WALLACE married his neighbor and first cousin Jane Calbreath in 1828 and had seven known children. Thomas and Jane removed to Simpson County, Kentucky in 1860. Margaret (Calbreath) WALLACE was born in c.1771 and 25 years of age when she married Andrew. I would guess Andrew to be of the same age. We believe that Andrew died between 1805 and 1820 and are presently researching Blount County, Tennessee. Research in Macon/Smith County, Tennessee wasn't conclusive. Please let me know if you desire any further information. Still looking for the parents of Andrew WALLACE. James Wm.

Dear listers, I am *still* annotating the 1860 Bath census with maiden names, and I can't find these women! Does anybody know the maiden names (with a source, please) of the following women found in the 1860 Bath county census? I have checked Bath/Highland birth/death records and Bath, Pocahontas, Highland, Augusta, Rockbridge, Rockingham, & Alleghany county marriage records. I've also checked Morton's History of Highland co (online), CD 229 (VA marriage index), & the LDS site online. I'm hoping that one of you will have these people in your files or other books. These are all names I have *not* sent to these lists before this. The single dates mean "married in or before this year", based on the age of their eldest child in the census. LYLE/LILE, John & Sarah/Sally -1848 (can't find this couple in the 1850 VA census either, so I suspect one or both first names to be wrong; children are Martha, Esteline, Thomas) MASTERS, Frederick & Patsy/Martha 1850-1851 MERRITT, John & Elizabeth -1834 MORRIS/MORRISON, Josiah & Jane -1841 or 1850-1860 O'KANE/O'CANE, Thomas & Anne -1832 PERKINS/PURKINS, Stephen & Mary, 1820-1850 ROBERTS, Daniel & Mary -1845 RODGERS/ROGERS, Goodman/Reuben & Harriet -1849 or -1832 RUSH, Henry E. & Mary J., -1831 SEYBERT, A.F. & Mary J. -1860 SIMPSON/SAMPSON, Rezin & Mary J. KEYSER -1837 SNYDER, William & Julia A. -1851 SPROUSE, Garland & Martha J., 1850-1860 STONESTREET, R. & Mary, -1860 TAYLOR, Almond S. & Julia A., 1850-1860 TERRELL, John & Elizabeth -1848 THOMPSON/THOMSON, (George) Washington & Elizabeth/Isabella, -1846 TUNING/TUNEING/CHUNING/CHEWNING, Joseph & Lucinda/Winney/Sallie -1850 WEBSTER, Henry H. & Hannah/Catharine -1853 WELDON, John H. & Jane A. -1837 WINDON or FORBES, Richard & Rachel WINDON 1850-1860 WINN, George M. & Emma H. 1850-1860 I'm offering free lookups in the 1850 VA and 1860 Bath/Highland census in return for any help, and a free annotated 1860 Bath census book (when it's published) if you send me 5 or more maiden names with sources.

Looking for most all of the ALBERTs from the 18th and early 19th century in the Shenandoah County area. Recently came across information that indicates most near all of them are related to my Adam Albert of Winchester. He married his second wife, Florinda HUFFMAN (dau of Phillip_ in the Shenandoah County confines of that period and had at least. Known children of that marriage are Polly, Sally, Susannah and Catherine. Also had three children by a prior spouse Elizabeth SHEPLER: Adam, George, and Elizabeth. And ... probability exists that slave Bill was his son by another slave known only as Pegg. So ... if anyone would like to explore this surname, please feel free to respond ... and check out my web pages on the ALBERTs too ... we may be already related.

I'm looking for the connection of these lines, which can take the families back to Daniel Strickler who was married to Elizabeth Funkhouser, and connect the Trout and Shaver/Shafer lines. This would put the time period in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Sue K.

Lynne, Thanks for the great explanation of Tidewater et.al. Does anyone know if either Culpeper or Madison County Virginia, or both, are considered Piedmont. I suspect Madison is, but am not certain. Thanks, Louie -----Original Message----- From: Lynne Hundley [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 1999 12:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Geography lesson needed. Simple definitions: 1. Tidewater is the coastal area. It goes as far inland as the tide can reach -- that is, to the first water falls or "rapids" which keep the tide from going higher inland. In Virginia, for instance, the first falls on the James River are at Richmond. Everything east is tidewater. The fall-line (see below) is the line drawn on the map by connecting all the first water falls. 2. Headwaters is where a river starts -- usually high in the mountains, inland. 3. Carolina Piedmont -- the piedmont (pied = foot, mont = mountains, so foot-hills) is the area between the fall-line and the mountains.
