Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/636 Surname: STATON ------------------------- I am looking for information such as the parents of Salina W. Staton, who was born in Amherst County on 25 Dec 1860. I know she had the following siblings: Amelia, Lucy,, Betty (Elizabeth?) and Nathan. Salina died in Cabell County, WV on 2 May 1937 and was the wife of Calvary M. Lunsford. I do not know when this family came to Cabell County but I'm hoping they might have appeared in the 1860 Amherst Co. Census. Can anyone tell me who her parents were and if there were any other siblings? Candie Freeman - Coordinator Cabell Co. WVGenWeb

Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/633 Surname: LYON ------------------------- Looking for information on Elisha LYON born about 1721. Recorded that he bought 100 acres in Rich Cove section of Amherst County in November 1751 from Peter LYON of Amherst, witnessed by John LYON. Elisha moved to Franklin County about 1783 and died there in 1787. Children by his first wife were Mary LYON, Guthridge LYON born 1748, John LYON born 1750, and Edward LYON. His second wife was Mary Bailey who married John Webster after Elisha's death. Information greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am seeking any kind person who might be able to help me with records of this man. He died in Amherst Co c 1810 and left a will. His wife I do not know. His sons were John, Thomas, Robert, and Charles. His daughters were Sally Grissom and Susannah WIllmore. He had a granddaughter Lundy or Lucinda Grissom, d/o Robert I am hoping to discover estate records showing the involvement of CHARLES, his son, who was one of the co-executors of his 1810 estate. I believe that CHARLES is the same man who appears in Warren Co TN in time to be listed on the 1812 tax list. I am hoping to locate a record proving this migration, such as a land deed or other estate record from his father's estate. Would also like to speak with anyone who might be researching any child of this family. Regina Roper

Thanks to all who answered my query on the 1790s marriage bond from Amherst Co. VA. Your help is really appreciated. Maybe one day I'll get to Amherst myself and see where my ancestors used to live. Michhael

I called the courthouse to see if the old marriage bonds were back yet from being copied and they still aren't (what's it been- two years?!) However, the lady said you can send them $2.00 per bond and they will try to obtain a copy of it for you. Checks made out to Clerk of Circuit Court, P.O. Box 462, Amherst, VA 24521. Just send them the names and date. I forgot to ask about enclosing a self-addressed stamped envelope, but I always send one when in doubt and I plan to in this case. I doubt they will do searches for you if you don't have all of the information- they're nice and helpful, but it's a very busy office. Janet B.

Thought there was someone on one of these lists researching HAMILTON of Monacan Indian ancestry from Amherst/Nelson Co. area. While re-studying some census copies I made of my Magann family, I found these Hamiltons on the same page: (1880 Nelson County- Massie's Mill District) Hamilton, Charles, mu (mulatto), male, age 44, married, occupation: shoemaker, can't read or write Alley, mu, female, age 36, wife, married, keeping house, can't read or write Alice, mu, female, age 15, daughter, single, at home, attended school within the census year Jenny Linn, mu, female, age 13, daughter, single, at home, attended school within the census year Thomas, mu, male, age 7, son, single, at home, attended school within the census year Charles Anna, mu, female, age 9, daughter, single, at home, attended school within the census year Patrick, mu, male, age 6, son, single, at home Juliet, mu, female, age 5, daughter, single, at home Clarkson, mu, male, age 2, son, single, at home This is not my line and I know nothing further on them; I just remembered someone had put a query out on Hamilton sometime in the past.
