Hi all, Just wondering if any of you are researching the HENNINGER lines in Southwest Va. There are quite a few (even today) in Tazewell Co. and they keep popping up in my family in different lines. William H. LEWIS b. 9 Feb. 1830 in Tazewell son of John LEWIS and Mary "Polly" HENNINGER b. abt. 1796 in Tazewell Co. daughter of John Jacob HENNINGER b. abt 1761 and Sally STARNS b. abt. 1766 (the source of this is John Henninger's will in Tazewell Co. which lists Polly, mother of William & Lewisa). I also have a Susannah N. KIMBEL/KIMBLE b. abt. 1796 married to William HENNINGER Susannah is daugher of Wiley E. KIMBLE b. abt. 1760/1770 in Va. Susannah & William moved to Monroe Co. Missouri with her brother Luke KIMBLE I have also found that John Taylor Henninger who helped settle the Mormon community in Alberta, Canada did good deal of temple work for my Kimble line. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with HENNINGER connections. I have more information on the older lines. I also have access to a couple of books on the Henninger line. Thanks, Alana Kimbel Considine *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Alana & Marc Considine <beeswing@inconnect.com> http://www.inconnect.com/~beeswing

Hi, Is there anyone who possibly could tell me if Hortons Chapel is still in operation in or around Sloantown, VA? If so, is there an address where I can write them?

I am pleased to announce the formation of a new mailing list for the surname HUNNELL and its various spellings (Hunnel, Honnel(l), Hummel(l), Honnol(l)). Special interest is placed on the descendants of Nancy Hunnel who is first found in Washington Co VA in 1810 . Nancy had at least six children, four of whom have been identified: Ruth Hunnel who married Christopher CRUE(Y) in Washington Co in 1813 and later lived in Smyth Co Va; Aaron Hunnel who married Margaret McCRAVEY in 1813 in Washington Co and moved to Kentucky and later Ohio; Moses Hunnel who m unknown but is somehow connected to the Smyth Co CARTER and BICE/BISE families; and Abraham Hunnell who married first Elizabeth NUTTY in 1818 in Washington Co and married second Mary Ann PRATER/PRATHER in Smyth Co in 1849. Most of Abraham's children lived in Smyth and Tazewell counties VA. ~~~~~ Please accept this invitation to join our list by going to http:www.onelist.com and following the subscription information.

Margie, These are the Phelps in my family. Virginia Jones' first husband was Floyd Moore. I am decended from their daughter Venie Moore my gr grandmother who married James Edward South. Descendants of W. Sam Phelps Generation No. 1 1. W. SAM1 PHELPS was born 1859, and died 1931. He married VIRGINIA JONES December 06, 1883 in Sullivan County, TN. Notes for VIRGINIA JONES: In the South and the Carrier families the story of Jennie Moore was that Venie and Ed were born out of wedlock and took their mother's name Moore. It was said that Jennie came from Saltville, VA. According to Jack Cross, who Louella Burnette verifies that he is descended from our Ed Moore, she was a Jones and married Floyd Moore. I talked with Louella today 12/26/1998 and she is still not convinced that Jennie is a Jones. She is burried in Ordway Cemetary as Jane Wife of Samuel Phelps 1857-1931. Her nickname Jennie probably came from Virginia and Jane may have been one of her names. Somewhere I got a name of Mary Jane but I don't remember where I got it from. Jack Cross has her name as Virginia Jones and I have her name as Jennie Moore. I'll go with Virginia Jones for now until there is recorded proof of her name which may be Mary Jane Jones. Marriage Notes for W. PHELPS and VIRGINIA JONES: 6/13/97 Found W.S. Phelps and Jennie Moore licensed 6 Dec., 1883 but not recorded. I believe this to be a record of their marriage. Children of W. PHELPS and VIRGINIA JONES are: i. CHARLES2 PHELPS, m. KATHY BABB. 2. ii. WILLIAM HENRY PHELPS. 3. iii. JOSEPH ROBERT SR. PHELPS, b. 1892; d. 1959. Generation No. 2 2. WILLIAM HENRY2 PHELPS (W. SAM1). He married ALICE K. SMITH July 02, 1906 in Sullivan County, TN. Marriage Notes for WILLIAM PHELPS and ALICE SMITH: 6/13/97 Found William H. Phelps and Alice K. Smith recorded 2 July, 1906. I believe this to be a record of their marriage. The bondsman was J.C. Cross. Child of WILLIAM PHELPS and ALICE SMITH is: 4. i. WILLIAM JR. HENRY3 PHELPS. 3. JOSEPH ROBERT SR.2 PHELPS (W. SAM1) was born 1892, and died 1959. He married JANINE BRASWELL. Notes for JOSEPH ROBERT SR. PHELPS: Buried in Ordway Cemetary near his father and mother. Child of JOSEPH PHELPS and JANINE BRASWELL is: i. JOSEPH ROBERT JR.3 PHELPS, b. September 30, 1931, kingsport, Sullivan County, TN; m. SUE HICKES. Notes for JOSEPH ROBERT JR. PHELPS: I got updated info on descendents of Sam Phelps from Rob Phelps Jr. Talked to him by phone from my Dad's house early 1997. His number is (423) 323-8794. Generation No. 3 4. WILLIAM JR. HENRY3 PHELPS (WILLIAM HENRY2, W. SAM1). He married NOT KNOWN. Child of WILLIAM PHELPS and NOT KNOWN is: i. CHARLES4 PHELPS.

Hello Researchers, Please excuse multiple list posting, however, this family has connections with every locale addressed. Again, searching for info on any member of the following BROWN Family. Descendants of Richard Brown .1 Richard Brown b: Abt 1815 in Pennsylvania .....+Katharine Unknown b: Abt 1822 in Pennsylvania m: Abt. 1839 .....2 Clarinda Brown b: Abt 1840 in Wythe County, Virginia d: September 18, 1859 in Durbins Creek, Lawrence County, Kentucky .....2 John Brown b: Abt. 1842 in Pennsylvania .....2 Ruhama Brown b: Abt. 1846 in Virginia .....2 Mahala Brown b: February 1849 in Probably Lawrence County, Kentucky d: October 01, 1922 in Bernie, Parsner Creek, Lincoln County, West Virginia .........+James Harvey Sperry b: November 27, 1833 in Lawrence County, Kentucky m: March 24, 1867 in Lawrence County, Kentucky d: December 04, 1910 in Home on Parsner Creek, Lincoln County, West Virginia Father: Rudolph Sperry Mother: Nancy Canterbury James Harvey & Mahala BROWN SPERRY are my GG-G'Parents. Other bits of info about this family: 1. They probably lived in Southwest Virginia, Wythe CO, during the period 1840-1846. They may have returned to PA Abt 1842, where son John is reported to have been born. 2. They removed from Southwest VA to Eastern KY, Lawrence CO, KY, between 1846-1849, when Mahala was born. 3. They are listed in the 1850 Lawrence CO, KY, census, and Richard's occupation is given as "gunsmith". 4. They, less Clarinda, who died in 1859, are listed in the 1860 Boyd CO, KY, census, living in Catlettsburg. Richard is listed as a "farmer"! 5. Family tradition relates that this family, less Mahala, who married James Harvey SPERRY, and Clarinda, who d. 1859, may have removed to Missouri after 1860. Just another "Ole" WRIGHT, Jim.. in Huntington, WV..

Anyone know what a "Presentation Warrant" is for a Land Office grant from Richmond?? Is it different from a Settlement grant or Service warrant? It is in the period 1780-1800. Is it a purchase or head grant? -eddie
