THANK YOU!! You have been busy! You have filled in some Fleenor blanks/gaps for me!! I'm sure you have helped a lot of people! Carol

I made a mistake in the first posting. Charles' parents may have been James Cole and Susanna Hanks, not Sarah Gray. Barb Main lines COLE, WARREN & ROBERTS Other names Carrico, Stoneman, Haga, Parks and more http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=barbnor http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/n/o/r/Barbara-E-Norvell/index.html

I am looking for the ancestors of Charles Cole b abt 1761 and living in Grayson Co where he married Elizabeth Stoneman in 1795. The first Tax List I have found him on is the 1794 Grayson Tax List. I have lots of descendants and now need to find his ancestors. Where did he come from, who were his parents, etc. I have a source that said his parents were James Cole and Sarah Gray from Wilkes Co. NC, but haven't found his name anywere in any info about James and Sarah. A cousin tells the story that Charles traded a shotgun and a jersey cow for 349 acres in Flatridge, where he lives and still maintains the family cemetery. From the cemetery, you can look across the valley and see Bald Rock, where the Roberts (also my family) took roots.

I wonder if someone out there will do a big favor for me. I am searching for the parents of William Henry Atwood born in VA in 1852. Could someone please check the 1860 Census for the area of Tazewell/Giles/Smyth/Washington/Grayson/Carroll counties in Va? William's parents were married in NC (Ashe Co). He is on the 1880 census in Tazewell Co. Va as being single. (He married later in the year). If someone could find him with his parents on the 1860/1870 census, I would be very grateful. I have found 2 Atwood men, Nathan and Franklin, who were married in the correct time frame. I appreciate the help so much. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I recently received copies of two letters written in 1899 by my gg-grandmother Caroline Moore Hager Lambert, wife of Stephen Lambert. She headed the letters SNAPPS, Va. Does anyone have any idea where that would be? The family mostly lived in the Thompson Valley, Liberty, Knob areas of Tazewell Co, near the Smyth Co border. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks. Linda Genealogy - Always looking for HUNNELL , CRUEY , PUCKETT , LAMBERT , HARRIS, TATUM , & STEEL(E) in SW Va . http://community.webtv.net/POOLLINDA/HUNNELLFAMILY

Anyone know the parents of Nancy Andis md. Sampson Fleenor abt Mar 1832? -eddie

Eddie: Using Census records, marriage records, and a little help from my friends, I now have my collection of Fleenor names in Family Tree Maker. If you all could help me complete these family groups I would be happy to send an FTM file or GedCom file. I also have lots of leftover Fleenor names (mostly Washington Co VA).

Hi, looking for more information on Isaac Newton Brown, born ca 1842 Tazewell Co. Virginia. Son of William T. and Martha/Patsy Hall BROWN. Moved to Missouri after the Civil War. Lived in Chillicothe, Livingston County, MO right before moving to the "Confederate Home of Missouri" in Higginsville, LaFayette Co. in 1897 at the age of 55. Went to visit his (unknown name) son in Quinlan, Woodward County, Oklahoma ca May 5, 1907. Died there 10 days later. Isaac had siblings named; Ambrose, Orville, Franklin, Thomas and Margaret Elizabeth BROWN. I am hoping he married someone from Tazewell and someone has a record of this. Would love to share information. Thanks, Ann

I found that what Eddie said about the Germans emigrating to PA, migrating to Frederick County MD and down the Great Valley of Virginia, settling in Augusta, Wythe, and Washington Counties was pretty much standard procedure. I have a copy of a will signed by Johann Adam Sheffey June 25th 1793. The name Sheffey was spelled three different ways on the same document. Sheffy and Sheffey by the scribe. Adam's signature appeared to be, after some experienced evaluation at the local family history center was deciphered as Scheffe. The old German style of writing went through several distinct stages of style throughout the years and is difficult to read without a comparison model. There are some samples on the internet you can use as a comparison as well as in books in most libraries. An "S" can look more like a "Z" and they use a mark for the second letter such as in "ff". This is only two examples. It is easily to see why it was "rounded off" to make it easier to write, read and understand. The English scribe had written it more the way we write today. The associated family names were all German. Loehr, Bengel, and Geyer while in PA and MD. If you can connect back that far you will find that the German Churches kept excellent records. The information as it had been transcribed from these Church records has these spellings changed in this manner, Lohr, Bengle, Gyer, Giar and Sheffie. In Wythe County, the Sheffies married Swecker/Zwecker, Fisher/Fischer, Groseclose, Huddle, Rhea, Spiller, Haller, Fulkerson, Winton and a Collins?. (my line). It appeared, to be successful in the endeavors, it was necessary to change to fit in but they still married within their nationality. As I researched these German families, I found that they had an ethic (and to the present day) for education and success in professional fields very much more aggressive than that of the British folks. These migration patterns need to be taken seriously. If you can make connections back to the late 1800s to where you can check those wonderful records of the early German churches back East, you will be able to sort through these name variances and make some good solid connections. But you must start at the known and work backward to the unknown. If you can go back to Maryland on your line, research "History of Western Maryland" by Thomas Scharff. There are several volumes and an excellent index with names. The DAR series has a lot of names. These old English speaking boys that did all the record keeping in SW VA were pretty darn sloppy in their work. They had no idea and probably wouldn't have cared had they known of the problems they would be causing us'ins as we try to put the pieces of our family puzzle together.. Robert Crabtree

Is anyone researching an Fred/F.D./Ferdinard Ellis family in Buchanan of the early 1900's? My husband has located the gravesite. If anyone is interested, let me know. God Bless!!! Peggy C.
