I cannot COMMEND enough the support I have gotten from this list on the subject question. Thank you EVERYONE for your information. It's been wonderful. In the last few years of research, so much has been put out there on the internet and I thank all of the transcribers and the people who know 'where things are'. THANK YOU, Each and every one of you. Bev. from Ohio

Are there any early church records from this church available. There are DEPOY families that I am researching marriage, birth and death records for that were members of that church. Thank you in advance. Bev. from Ohio

I am looking for the given name of Rev. I. Heller of the St. Peters Reformed Shenandoah Valley Va. about 1842 My ancestor Rev. John Nicholas Schmucker was one of the ministers of that church Lutheran congregation. Nicholas married Catherine Heller in 1800 her father is suppose to be John Heller. I have had difficulty tracing my Heller line, thought this Rev. I. Heller might give me a clue since he is preaching in the same church. I know there was a John and Elizabeth Heller in Rockingham Co. Peaked Mt. Church in 1776 who had a Anna Marie baptised there I can get no further info about him. This John would be in the correct time frame to be father of my Catherine. Thanks for reading this Jackie

Do you know if this George Good has any family that went to Wellsburg, W. Va. (Wellsburg originated as Wellsburg, Va. before it became W. Va.) I have a Thomas C. Good b. 1821, Father, Thomas Good b. 1801 who married Marie Congleton b. 1795 These Good's were also found in Washington Co., Pa. Karen

I found a George Good in the 1860 census. I don't have the 1840. This George W. Good does have a wife, Polly, and four children.

Would someone check the Shenandoah Co.1840 census for George Good who would have 3 or 4 sons under 10 and a wife--he would be 35 years. If you find him could you give the district of his location and also a couple of neighbors on each side of him. Many Many Thanks Jackie

I am hoping that someone on this list may be able to give me some clues as to the identity of my 3rd great grandmother, Martha Ellen Shireman. She was the wife of Emanuel Shireman and when they were admitted to the poorhouse in 1829 they were "from Stony Creek". Emanuel must have died in the poorhouse because in 1839 she remarried to Aaron Poland. Henry Bausserman was the bondsman. Many researchers have her as the daughter of John Shireman and Katy Fadley, but that is not the case. Shireman was her married name. She was born between 1800 (if census records are accurate) and Sept. 1804 (the date on her tombstone). If any of you have families in the Mauertown or Stony Creek area in which the name Martha Ellen appeared, or if anyone has an unnamed girl born there between 1800-1804 I would like to know the family name. Any clue might be helpful. Thank you. Linda

Anyone have any information on these two names in this area? Linda

Good Evening I am looking for any info on the subject gunsmith. He was a third generation gunsmith in the valley and I have a weapon made by him for one of my ancestors. John Wilson is not in my line but I am looking for info about him with respect to his making of blackpowder rifles. Thanks Doug

The recent Courthouse Shooting in Atlanta which has dominated the news brings to mind the "Courthouse Shootout" in Hillsville, Va. My great grandfather was due to be on the jury for the Allen trial that day but was too sick to attend. A cousin of my grandmother, Harry F. Byrd, became Governor of Virginia and pardoned the Allens involved in the shootings. Those who are researching the Allen families of Virginia will be interested in this story!

Hello Tracy, About 1737 our Allens left County Armagh in Ulster Ireland for what became Frederick County in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. We believe their ancestors may have been from Ayreshire in Scotland. As were most early Scots-Irish, they were Presbyterians. Their descendants helped settled Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Good luck in your never completed genealogy quest.

Hello List, I am looking for information on these persons who met in Virginia in the 1700s in what I think was origonally Augusta County and travelled to Kentucky before it became a state. early land grant records would be useful. Also, my John Ritchie was from Scotland. Were there any Scottish settlements in Virginia around that time of the early to mid to late 1700's. Thanks so much, Tracy Thompson Knapp Texas
