Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/530 Surname: Warwick, Branch ------------------------- In Amhurst County, I have William Warwick, who was married 3 times, one of his sons,John Marshall Warwick,m Caroline Norwell, his son Abram Warwick, b. 1835 in Lynchburg m. Adel Branch. There are so many Warwicks in that area, it is difficult to sort them out. John Marshall Warwick had 14 children and 10 lived. I will have to look further for an Agness, as she may be in one of the lists I have that I have not followed up as yet.
A colleague asked me about a program called Genealogy Detective 2000. At $24.97 it's cheap enough but is it worth a dime? Has anyone used it? Ann
I'd like to know more about that, too. My great grandmother Sarah Stinnett Wilmer had a brother named Talliferro and there's got to be some excuse for that. We have some prize names in the Wilmer clan -- e.g. Bunyan (after a Rev. Bunyan) Timpy (I'm told that is NOT a nickname) Garland, etc., but that one pretty much tops 'em all! P.S. The nicknames are even wilder! And all I inherited was "Ann." :-( -----Original Message----- From: Lorraine Adkins <Bigdaddy@doitnow.com> >Posted on: Amherst County Queries >Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/524 > >Surname: Talliferro >------------------------- > >How does Talliferro fit into these two family lines?

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who responded to my earlier apology regarding the Archives. You have all been SO supportive!!! It really means alot to me. I would have preferred to answer you all individually, but there were so MANY responses!!! I did want to answer a couple of questions that I received though. Yes, I do take care of the archives on a volunteer basis, and I continually stretch myself to take care of as many counties as I can because I, like you, want to make sure that new files do continue to be uploaded and that the counties are cared for. Sometimes I have the time & energy to do a fantastic job updating the pages on a timely basis, and sometimes, I just don't have what it takes. But all in all, I love taking care of the Archives and watching them grow. I think it's a wonderful way to volunteer my time & hope I'll be able to continue to do so for a very long time. I have completed the uploads for July, minus a couple of small changes that need to be made and also minus the scanned documents. My next goal is to complete those & then I'll move on to the new files received in August. Then I will send notification to the individual county lists for all the new files uploaded during July & August. After that, I will start work on organizing some new counties that I have adopted. Once those pages are updated, I'll subscribe to the mailing lists for those counties & notify the folks there that the counties now have a new archivist who will TRY to post new files on a timely basis :) I'm sure those folks will be happy as I don't believe those counties have had anything new posted in quite some time. Once again, thanks so much for your support and all your kind words!!! It's good to know that there are real people out there (and nice ones too!) that are benefiting from my time & effort. Thanks again, you're the best!!!

Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/521 Surname: Stratton, Thomas ------------------------- Sally Stratton married Radford Thomas in Amherst Co. on Feb. 7, 1825. Security was Jacob Stratton. Does anyone know if Jacob was her father? Who was her mother? Their daughter, Mildred Ann, was my ggrandmother. The couple also had a son named Radford who was listed as age 12 in the 1860 census, but I have not been able to find any trace of him after that date. Any information anyone has on these two families would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Yvonne
