Hi I am interested in the marriage between Tarlton Brown and Lucy Sandridge for two reasons. 1) Was Lucy Sandridge related to Nancy Sandridge who md. John Thurman in 1779? And 2) The Browns and Thurmans were neighbors of sorts - does anyone know of any Thurman/Brown connections.

I also would be interested in viewing any Presbyterian records for Albemarle Co. prior to 1815, especially any relating to the Sneed/Snead family. Where can such records be found, please? Thanks, Trueman Farris.

I have just read the book Jefferson's Nephews by Boynton, Merrill. I found that: Thomas Jefferson Jr namesake of the President and his wife Mary Randolph Lewis had 3 children Robert Lewis, Peter Field, and _______ who? The Lewises were Presbyterian. I believe the third child to be Mary Abigail Jefferson. I would like to look at the Presbyterian Church Records for Albemarle Co for the years 1808-1815 to see if I can find these children. If you have any other suggestion or answere please forward it to me. Marita

Thought maybe some of you Virginia folks could help me. Ancestor was discharged at this Fort McHenry in 1848. Is this in Virginia, and if so where is it located? Also: Is there an active Board like this in Page County? I need a brief lookup there. Any of you have roots there? John

I am looking for the address of the County Clerk.I was told that this is where I could find a Platt map for Hawks Bill Creek erea. Diane

I'm trying to find a death record for Virginia Ann (Carver) BROOKS who died 31 Dec 1931, probably in Charlottesville. Dept of Health returned my request (but not my money) saying no record found. They couldn't find her birth either. If there was an obit, which paper would have been most likely for the time and area? Thanks for any clues! Cathy in San Diego, California

Hi I am looking to correspond with anyone researching ancestors of the 3rd VA REgiment for the American Rev. I am researching two THURMANS, William and John, who fought in that Regiment under Captains John MILLER and Benjamin HARRIS. And possibly a Captain WARREN. Wm and John Thurman were both from Albemarle Co VA when they enlisted. Anything sound familiar?

Would anyone have this name connected to any WHEATLEY's? in Fluvanna 1890's-1910

Dear Diane, Thank you for your response. I would be delighted to see a copy of the obit you mentioned. Bluford GENTRY, Jr. died in Maryland in 1918 of tuberculosis and had worked on the B&O railroad according to his ggrandson, Anthony Blair. I don't know much about Bluford Jr.'s brothers & sisters except for one brother, William Oscar GENTRY, who was my husband's grandfather. Was your gggrandmother, Francis, a daughter of Austin Bernard GENTRY? I would be interested in info about her, too. I'll gladly share what I have on the line if you're interested.
