Hello, fellow Va southsiders. I need help from someone who lives near Petersburg or Richmond. I have learned that there is a book titled "Births from the Bristol Parish Register of Henrico, Prince George, and Dinwiddie Counties, Virginia 1720 -1798" by Churchill Gibson Chanmberlayne, which is a research book found in the Virginia State Library and the Petersburg library. It is not for checking out, and cannot be accessed by interlibrary loand. I need a look-up in it. I am noit presently able to visit there myself. My ancestor, John Henry Mitchell was born in Petersburg, either in 1745 or 1750. (I have found both dates in national databases.) I do not know (but want to find out) who his mother and farther were, and whom he married. They had one son that I know of -- Thomas Hardaway Mitchell, born in 1792 in Dinwiddie Co, VA. John Henry moved to Oglethorpe Co., GA somtime near 1800, and died there in 1806 Thomas Hardaway married Ruth(ie) Tillery in Oglethorpe Co. in 1814, and they moved on to Walton Co., GA. I also want to find who John Henry's ancestors were, and if there were other offspring of John Henry and his wife. If anyone would be kind enough to help me by checking in this reference book, I would be pleased, and would pay expenses for the trip. I would also be willing to pay a resonable stipend. Help would be most appreciated. Bill Mitchell
