Hi All, Is there anyone who can suggest a Church or Parish which might have a record of divorce? Will the real Hezekiah please stand! ******************************************************** [1820 Wood, Hezekiah US Census Albemarle County Va.] [1830-1840-1850 Wood, Hezekiah US Census Albemarle County Va. Fredricksburg Parish] Likely, these three are the same Hezekiah. [1827, Dec 05 WOOD, Hezekiah married Nancy BROWN (possibly from the Brown’s Cove area] This Hezekiah is likely the one above. [1840, US Census Daviess County Indiana 1850, US Census Daviess County Indiana; Veale Twnsp WOOD, Hezekiah] No further info as yet [WOOD, Hezekiah, m. 1 july 1799 in Albemarle to Patsy GENTRY, (dau. of Richard GENTRY & Elizabeth STRINGER)] This Hezekiah; from family **“hand down” is the father of Frances WOOD b. 15mar1799 who wed Samuel COCHRAN in Madison County, Kentucky on 19dec1826.

For starters: Dr. George K. Schweitzer, in his 1995 volume on VA research, states court orders are available in the court house for 1744-8, 1783-5, 1791-1804, 1806-31. I, too, would be interested in hearing from anyone who has been to the court house and knows if the orders have been indexed and/or microfilmed.

I apologize for being so tardy in finishing up Alexander Brown's Early Settlers of Albermarle/Amherst/Bedford list. We had a busy holiday season followed by a seemingly never ending flu/cold season! I have finished "T,U, and V" and Carrie Hoffert of the Amherst list is kindly completing "W & Y" which will be posted soon. The list is temporarily located on my Magann family website till donated to rootsweb and transferred to my Amherst Co records site in the works. You can find the almost completed list at http://members.tripod.com/magannfamily/id58.htm The home page http://members.tripod.com/magannfamily/index.htm has a search box, but "R,S, T, U, and V" aren't indexed yet. Hopefully, I can get that done shortly. As noted on the site: The list is from the Alexander Brown papers at Swem Library, College of William and Mary- Special Collections Dept. It is a partial list of those who settled in Old Albermarle prior to 1761, Old Amherst prior to 1776, and some Bedford French/Indian War soldiers. I do not know any more about the list than is presented on the site. Some of Brown's names have numbers beside them that do not match the source list. Since some have a "p" beside them, it is speculated that they are page numbers of a source only beknownst to Brown. Janet

Yesterday I was "into" old deed records (on microfilm) in Patrick Co, VA, and found many, many references to Sheltons (where there is a Shelton there is often a Bryant) -- I didn't make any notes but do remember a Rodham Shelton. There were a lot of other first names, too. Cousin Mary in OK (p.s.: there were no promising Bryants, only an Elias Bryant) Mary Bryant Park crosstich@webtv.net

Is there a source listing names of tutors, teachers and school (non-college) operators in Albemarle Co., VA 1750 to 1800? I am looking for information on Benjamin Sneed, b. 1720-1, who taught siblings of Thomas Jefferson and TJ's grandson. Thanks, Trueman Farris jfarris@execpc.com

Dear list Members, I just subscribed to this list after discovering one of my ancestors lived and died in this county testate. His Will was recorded in 1799. His name was Henry Shelton and I descend from his daughter Sarah Shelton who married Thomas White. I know there is a lot of conflicting information about the Shelton Families of old VA, so I'm trying to cautiously document each generation, relationship, and event so I can submit this correct info on my SAR application. Any help or guidance in locating original records, old cemeteries, and old homesteads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Robert C. Johnston, Jr. 139 Eagle Creek Drive Wetumpka, AL 36092 USA rcj@mindspring.com

Hi to the person who requested the pictures : I have Wed off and if you can let me know what cemetary in Esmont and which graves you want photographed I will try to do it. Carol

Hi to the list as to getting help in cleaning cemeteries...It has been suggested to me that boy scouts may take on a project such as this...when I was living in Arkansas, there was discussion with the county sheriff as to using people in jail (if they were willing) and/or as a community service project as a penalty for offenses. There are probably other ways, anyone else got suggestions? Alice in Fluvanna

perhaps you could get your answer at RANDOM ACTS OF GENEALOGICAL KINDNESS.Com They are phenomenal there go to the page and find the state and county and pick your volunteer Good luck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary" <crosstich@webtv.net> To: <VAALBEMA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2002 10:21 AM Subject: [VAALBEMA] Cemetery Pictures > I hope someone lives near the cemeteries you mentioned, and can make > pictures for you.

I hope someone lives near the cemeteries you mentioned, and can make pictures for you. I live in Oklahoma, otherwise I would do it "for a little old lady"! This little old lady, 70 next month, and a friend drove 40 miles in the dead of winter to Yale, OK, and took pictures of a grave, etc. I sent them to her in California, and never heard a word! That has been about three years ago -- oh, well...... There's an Overall Cemetery south (I think) of Liberty, TN that is so overgrown that we couldn't get into it. I have begged for someone to go out in the wintertime when the snakes are snoring and the weeds have died down, to make a picture of graves that I know are there, I even know the location in the cemetery. The undergrowth would have to be cleared away, and would be a lot of work -- Good luck and happy hunting! Cousin Mary in OK Mary Bryant Park crosstich@webtv.net
