Listers: I just returned from a four day trip to Henry County, Virginia to research my father's line of Redds, Fontaines, Wallers, Woottons, and Henrys. There was so much of this information that I did not have time to even peak at the Turners who are my mother's people. I want to highly recommend the Bassett Branch Library Historical Center. It is located at 3964 Fairystone Park Highway, Bassett, Virginia 24055, Telephone (540)629-9191. The staff consisting of Pat Ross, Anne Copeland, and Sam Eanes are more than helpful and very knowledgeable. There is a wealth of material and many family files, charts and books. I worked as hard as I could for four days and still did not get to the periodicals and the CDs. They have all of the Familytreemaker CDs and many of the Morman CDs. They have a "war room" with information from the Revolutionary, Civil War and others. There is also a good bit of Native American information as well. There is a world of Turner information and many descendants of Shadrach Turner still living in the area. I will have to make another trip to delve into this but I don't think I will live long enough to get it all. If you have a chance, I think it would be well worth your while to pay them a visit.
