I have made some progress since the last post thanks to newly found relatives; however, we are STILL stuck trying to find out who the father is of my great grandfather, Henry Clay Hartless, born 1860, died in 1939 in Amherst County. Apparently his mother was Mary Louise Hartless. Any help at all is appreciated. Many thanks, Debbie M. Jones dmjones815@aol.com

Can anyone check for the marriage date/year on Henry FRANKLIN and Margaret HENSLEY of Amherst Co., VA? It should be in the 1700's. (Please don't send information from the Mormon's website, I already have conflicting dates on their marriage). I'm hoping that there might be a book of marriages listing them.

Does anyone have a complete list of the children of Henry Franklin and Maryann Higginbotham of Amherst Co., VA, and where they were born? Anyone know if they had a son named "John Franklin" and where he was born??? Anna - Phoenix, AZ - USA annaw4@prodigy.net
