This is the closest I could come. A Charles Logan was the first sheriff of Christian Co., KY in 1797-98. Since Sheriff is also a given name, I looked for that too, but found no Logans. The following Logans are in the 1810 VA census index in Washington Co., VA: James, James Jr., and Robert. In 1820: Andrew, John, William S., and Robert. By 1870, there were 16 Logans in the county, all in Abingdon or Glade Spring Twp. There were no Stapletons listed in 1810, 1820 or 1870 index in the county, but they may have been there in 1790 and 1800 (I don't have an index for those years for VA). --- "Edgar A.

Bob, It was good to hear from you and learn of your work on the book. I hope it doesn't take you as long as it did me. The URL for the Historical CD you asked about is: http://www.mounet.com/~echo/ppp.htm There is also a Free timeline at the bottom (the CD's Timeline is much larger and more detailed, but you might find it interesting.) Happy writing. Danny

Dear Group, Several people have contacted me with interest in pictures from the region. Since Yahoo only allows enough space for 1 - 2 pictures as attachments, it would be easier for you to navigate to www.scarlet.org (then click on the Tourism Button - behind which you will find many pictures from across the S.W. Va. region). You might also be interested in the Free Historical Timeline of the area available at: http://www.mounet.com/~echo/ppp.htm Hope this helps in your quest to discover more about our beautiful area and remarkable ancestors.

Eddie, what is the book? I am not close enough to St. Louis to drive over easily (3 1/2 hrs) but the Independence, MO Library has an extensive genealogical library and may have the book. And that, my friend, is only a short 30 minutes away. Best of wishes, Billy

Hi Folks, Anyone near St. Louis? There is a book in a library there I needs some pages copied. Will pay expenses and time. -eddie owner - SW_VA-L I have thought of writing an Autobiography but There are those who claim to know the Subject matter so much better than I.

I was interested to see if you could buy this book so I did a check on Amazon.com As you can see they didn't show Price's book but they did have another on the Holston River area. Does anyone know if this also has biographical material? <A HREF="http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/exchange-glance/Y02Y1125037Y3007413/qid=1044106575/sr=1-1/104-4195722-7115905">Amazon.com -zShops: Martin, Isaac Patton: METHODISM IN HOLSTON.

Volks, Has anyone researched the book, Holston Methodism, by Price? It is a five Vol. set with a lot of local history. I have not seen it, but have seen some valuable excerpts. -eddie A diplomat is one who thinks one thing, but says something different. - poet
