Here is an inventory of the maps that I have. I don't have any to sale at this time but I could make copies if there is a demand. They are all very readable and nearly all are printed text. I find them very helpful in understand the settlement of SW VA, KY, NC, etc. and in helping to find the major mts, streams, towns, and early settlers. The are a collection of maps that I have copied from libraries, books and other sources. They are NOT copyrighted so we can copy them. Sizes are estimates of full map. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED CLICK REPLY, AND LET ME KNOW WHICH ONES. I'M _NOT_ TAKING ORDERS NOW, BUT WILL GET BACK TO YOU THIS WEEK IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT INTEREST. They are large so they are not cheap to copy. The best part about them is that the mts., streams, churches, mills, communities, mines, etc. often have SURNAMES in them. Please don't ask me to search each map for a NAME you are looking are. YOU WILL GET A NASTY REPLY!! 1) Historical Map of Washington Co., VA 36" x 24" I created this map from 4 or more sources. Primarily from the 1880 map from the Hist. Soc. of Wash. Co. I also used several history books, some local historians, USGS topo maps, and the co. road map. It contains roads, mts., streams, churches, cemeteries, mills, forts, settlements, etc. It covers as far north as Copper Creek. This one has lots of details because I put them there. One can use this map to add their own data such as where their ancestor's farms were. You can build your own genealogical map of Wash. Co., VA 36" x 30" $12. 30" x 18" $ 8 incl. postage 2) Comtempory Frontier Settlements 1740 - 1760 30" Copy of a library map of VA settlements. Mostly rivers and streams like a geological map . Some of the earliest settlements are show. Not detailed. It covers the NC border to the Ohio river; and from Richmond to the Cumberland Gap. It is a great outline of SW VA if you wanted to create your own maps. It would be ease to print out some names and cut n' paste them to this map. 30" x 24" $5 3) Southwestern VA map 1880 Commercial & Industrial map. >From the New River to the Gap. Rivers & streams, mines, towns, roads, RR, mts., valleys, etc. A few surnames. 24" x 18" $7 4) Southwestern VA Minerial Resources & RR 1883 - Boyd C.E. w/ an insert of major RR routes of S.E.

There are some SURNAMES and the best details of Wythe Co. that I have seen. I have listed some of the surnames in the past. Some area names common in Washington & Scott Co. 30" x 24" $6 6) Montgomery Co. Historical Map 30" x 24" Settlements from 1750 - 1865 . Very detailed w/ rivers, streams, roads, SURNAMES, historical notes and stories, First officers, very attractive layout. If you have ancestors from Mont. Co. this map will be very helpful. 36" x 24" $8 7) Botetourt Co. Historical Map 30" x 24" Just the present Co. area Settlements from 1750 - 1865 . Very detailed w/ rivers, streams, roads, SURNAMES, historical notes and stories, First officers, very attractive layout. If you have ancestors from Botet. Co. this map will be very helpful. There are SURNAMES common to SW VA. 30" x 24" $8 8) Pulaski Co. Historical map 30" x 24" Same type of the two co. maps # 6) & 7) above. 9) Roanoke Co. Historical map 30" x 24" Same type of the two co. maps # 6) & 7) above. 10) Fincastle Co. 1772 - 1776 Broad area map of frontier America Covers from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River. Gives the boundary of the original Fincastle and Botetourt Co. Shows major rivers and future states cut from Botetourt Co. which ran to the Miss. & Ohio River. Same type of the two co. maps # 6) & 7) above. Very general but attractive historical reference. 24" x 18" $5 11) SCOTT CO. Historical *** This one is not complete but if there is enough interest I can complete it and make copies. I have previously posted many of the names and locations that would be on it. Let me know. 30" x 24" About $8 I'm happy to do this if it is not a big hassle. This is not a business for me and I don't have time to give on an on going basis. This will be a one time thing. I DO find them very helpful and they give much more meaning to my research. -eddie NH

NancyS, I'm replying to your post to SW-VA-L on 21 Jan 1999. My Porter line hits a wall with Samuel and Anna (Damron) Porter. Based on her children's birth dates, I estimate that Anna (and probably this Samuel) was born abt 1800. I know this family lived in the Big Sandy Valley and I strongly believe in Floyd Co. KY. Samuel's children were James, Walker, John, Logan, (a daughter), and Ruth Ann. I feel my Porter might be related to your Porters because; 1. Your Susanna Ann (Walker) Porter died in Floyd Co. KY. 2. The common name Samuel. 3. My Samuel named one of his sons Walker (an odd first name). 4. The common name Ann, your Susanna Ann and my Ruth Ann. 5. If my Samuel Porter was born abt 1800, that would be about the time your John Walker Porter, Patrick Porter jr., and Samuel Porter would be fathering children. Do you have any information to help me make this connection? OR, can you help me disprove any connection? Jeff Dixon

I want to share my feelings with everyone that has come in contact with my mother, Penny Fraley Richardson. In November she won two State awards. She was named Job Service Employer Committee's Account Executive of the Year. She also won the first annual Job Service Administrator's Double D Award. Yesterday we found out she has won a national award. The National Employer Committee will give her their Distinguished Service Award at a ceremony in Washington DC in March. My mom is the best. She was a single mother who worked two and three jobs at a time to raise three kids. She has worked hard and I would like her on-line family to send her congratulations. Please send them to: Penny Fraley Richardson PO Box 614 Marion Oh 43301-0614 What a great surprise for her...............Thanks to everyone who responds. My mother loves genealogy and always says she has met the best people since she started doing genealogy. Prove her right........ Angela Little

Hi to all, My name is Kathleen Burns and I am trying to locate some information on a Great Grandfather who married a woman in Lee County VA. His name was Jasper Newton PARSONS and he married a Martha ADAMS on July 12, 1878. My problem is that this is all I know about their union. I do not know what happened to her or whether they had any children. I do know that he showed up in Oklahoma and married a 1/2 Choctaw Indian woman and they lived in Guthrie Oklahoma. He fathered three children with her. The first was my grandfather Charles Melvine PARSONS born in 1903. The other children were Rudloph and Eva. He was born in Kokomo Indiana about 1851. If any one out there is researching a lost PARSONS line and might find a connection to me I would appreciate any and all information on this person as he is a mystery to the family and we know not much about him. By the way my great grandmother was only 18 years old when she had my grandfather so, you can see the age difference in them. With regards Kathleen Burns Llano, Texas

There is a SURNAME Database for this list, SW_VA-Rootsweb, at http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/quarrybank/194/swabc.htm If you do not have your names on the list send them to Fred Preston at ohhenry@bigfoot.com Please try to limit them to no more than 10 and they should be Surnames you are researching in the SOUTHWESTERN part of VIRGINIA...not just anywhere. If you have a web page with genealogy related to your surnames, I can list this also. Anyone who has changed their email address should inform me of this also, thanks. Fred Preston

Nancy Brown, They sell them at a shop in Roanoke. It is near the library. I forget the name. They are not copyrighted so I guess I could make some copies and mail them. Several people have ask. I also have the Washington Co. map I made and sold many two years ago. I meant to make the historic map of Scott Co. but never did. Trouble is I have to drive nearly an hour to make copies, it cost a lot, and takes time. If I could do it all at once, maybe I could. Maybe I will post a list of all the maps I could copy. They are very helpful and give a visual image to SW VA if you are not from there. I keep forgetting that. I have a huge stack of maps. -eddie NH P,S, I think I have mailed out the ones people ordered. I lost their addresses.

If someone does have the 1790 Wash. Co. Census, would you also please lookup any SHOEMAKER for me. I will be eternally grateful. Linda Hindman_L@mediasoft.net

From "America at 1750" by Richard Hofstadter "Land was an enticing outlet for investment, a magnificent means of converting politician influence into profit. Yet raw, idle land could be made profitable only when settlers were brought in to work, rent, or buy it. 'Lands, though excellent, w/o hands proportionable,' wrote Sir Josiah Child in 1690, 'will not enrich any kingdom.' " This supports your ideas that there were many people in PA and probably in Frankfurt and Strassburg advertizing the free or cheap land in America. This was the best way for the English with political influence to get rich quick. I don't know the circumstances of there not being enough Enlish and Scot-Irish to go around and thus the Germans were actively recruited. "In the Southern colonies the standard way of bringing labor to the land in the seventeenth century was the headright system, under which a newcomer was granted 50 acres free of charge in return for transporting himself, unencumbered, to the colony. This practice was soon transmuted into free grants for bringing others - indentured servants, for example. At first intended to bring about compact, small settlements, the headright system in fact made large holdings as possible as small; like almost everything else bearing upon colonial lands, headright requirements were open to fraud and evasion. . . . . Headright claims became negotiable instruments: sea captains could acquire a right for each servant or slave they imported, and sell the rights to a planter; indentured servants, achieving freedom, sometimes sold their rights for cash instead of taking the land to which they were entitled. . . . . and in VA the practice ceased to be of central importance early in the 18th century. But the pattern of a rather steeply differentiated system of land tenure had already been built up. " "The two major streams were the Scotch-Irish and the Germans. Together the immigrants from Ulster and from Germany brought something decisively different into the political and religious culture of the colonies, especially on the frontier. The new immigrants were Protestants but not Anglicans. They were recruited from the middle and lower classes. The Scot-Irish brought not only an outlook quite different from that of English settlers but a distinctive tone of hardihood and combativeness that expanded in frontier conditions. The Germans were important not as a force in war and plitics but as the carriers of a tradition of skilled and loving husbandry that far surpassed the farming practices of most Anglo-American settlers." Although the English and Scots setup some very large plantations I think it is fair to say the Germans were the successful farmers. Even today those farms of Lancaster, PA and the Shenandoah Valley are beautiful. I bet the land of the Rhine was much better than anything in England. That must have been some transition to have gone from a peasant in an oppressive system to almost total freedom on the frontier. "Wm Penn, the first promoter to see the possibilities of large- scale German settlement, was chiefly interested in recruiting minority sectarians who were suffering the sort of persecution his Quakers brethren had long endured. Through his pietistic acquaintances he was able to mobilize a number of interesting sectarians, who formed the Frankfort Company [I have not heard of this. I guess that is Frankfort, Germany. That is getting close ] to aid and finance settlement. Led by a young lawyer, Francis Daniel Pastorius, who was charmed at the prospect of taking a community to lead "a quiet godly, and honest life in a howling wilderness," in 1683 a pioneer group settled in what was to be called Germantown, not far from Philadelphia, which became a center where German immigrants collected before moving out into the neighboring counties of PA. . . . . In the wars before the Peace of Utrecht French armies repeatedly devastated German Palatine towns along the Rhine, laid waste the fields, and left great numbers in destitutions. With English encouragement, great numbers of Palatine Germans settled in England in 1708 and 1709, and the Lords of Trade were hard put to know what to do with these refugees. Under the leadership of a Lutheran minister, Joshua von Kocherthal, one group went not to England but to NY and established Neuberg on the Hudson. . . . . . . . The first Dunkers (or Tunkers -- the name derived from their method of baptism by dippings, eintunken in German) came in 1719 and then encouraged others. The SCHWENKFELDERS, a group of Silesian sectarians who had been much persecuted, emigrated in 1733-4. In the 1740's as the number of Germans grew, the religious complexity of German Protestantism came to be more completely represented. Lutherans and German Reformed churchmen began to outnumber the denominations, although the Moravians, the largest German church, were a substantial group. . . . . . . . Before the era of the Revolution there were German colonists in the valley of VA, parts of western MD, especially Frederick Co. and the region around Hagerstown, and as far south as western NH. " I have never fully undertstood what made Frederick Co., MD the jumping off point for the German southern migration. Loudon Co., VA was another important point of German settlement. "The solution, [of a labor shortage] found long before the massive influx of black slaves, was a combined force of merchants, ship captains, immigratrant brokers, and a variety of hard-boiled recruiting agents who joined in bringing substantial cargoes of whites who voluntarily or involuntarily paid for their passage by undergoing a terminable period of bondage. This quest for labor, touched off early in the seventeenth century by the circulars of the London Company of VA, continued by Wm Penn in the 1680's and after, and climaxed by the blandishments of various English and continental recruiting agents of the 18th century, marked one of the first concerted and sustained advertising campaigns in the history of the modern world. " "With the beginnings of substantial emigration from the Continent in the 18th century the same sort of concerted business of recruitment arose in Holland, the Rhenish provinces of of Germany, and Switzerland. In Rotterdam and Amsterdam the lucrative business of gathering and transshipping emigrants was soon concentrated in the hands of a dozen prominent English and Dutch firms. As competition mounted, the shippers began to employ agents to greet the prospective emigrants at the harbor and vie in talking up the comforts of their ships. Hence the recruiting agents known as Neülander -- newlanders -- emerged. These newlanders, who were paid by the head for the passengers they recruited, soon branched out of the Dutch ports and the surrounding countryside and moved up the Rhine and the Neckar, traveling from one province to another, from town to town and tavern to tavern, all the way to the Swiss cantons, often passing themselves off as rich men returned from the easy and prosperous life of America in order to persuade others to try to repeat their good furtune.

Eddie, I am greatly appreciating your history information. Do you know of any resources that cover the topic of the Hessian soldiers who settled in Virginia after fighting for the British in the Revolutionary War? My ggggrandfather John Jacob MILLER, according to family lore, was such a soldier settling the the area which later became Scott County. Since Scott was formed of portions from several other counties, I have found it difficult to find much information--especially with a name like John Jacob MILLER. There must be a million of them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Arless aeilerts@southwind.net
