I am researching the following families in 18th and early 19th century Amherst Co.:  ISON, LYON, McALEXANDER, THURMOND, BURNETT. Mary C. Smith

I've hit a brick wall.  My grandfather was Alfred Clark Thomas who married Lola Clarke Hackworth.  Alfred's parents were Louis Nelson Thomas who married Cora Lee Chenault of Appomasttox Co.  Parents of Louis Nelson Thomas were W. E. Thomas and Ellen Slocomb.  The brick wall is here.  My mother says that the Thomas line was from Tennesse but does not know where. Thanks, Sharon ________________________________

Carol, my husband's grandmother was born Nettie Arizona WILLIAMS in far Southwest Virginia in 1896. The name of your grandmother jumped out of your message, and I was wondering if the name Nettie might be a family name among your WILLIAMSes, or is this just a coincidence?

Have long been searching for info on the Ricketts family in Amherst Co. VA. John Henry Ricketts was born in Amherst County Courthouse, VA in 1839. He was the son of John W. Ricketts and Sarah Steward. I can not find any trace of him or the family until he shows up in the 1860 census in Smyth Co. VA. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated!

My Amherst roots can be traced back to Charles BIBB and Elizabeth GATEWOOD. They left Amherst and came to what is now Fayette County, WV and settled in a small community which to this day is called "Gatewood" after Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Charles raised a large family who included Sarah Bibb who married William Dabney Thurmond of the infamous 'Thurmond's Rangers' of Civil War fame, Martin Bibb, who was a famous preacher in these parts and my second great grandmotherz9paternal), Jeannette Bibb who married Marshall McClung of the Greenbrier McClungs. Another Bibb of Amherst, Levi married Lucy Clements and their daughter, Nancy married Wiliam Treadway making her my 2nd great grandmother (maternal). What I would like to know is, what is the relaionship between Charles and Levi and who were their parents? Thanks, Anita

Since AT is looking for research discussions, this might be a good time for a roll call of Amherst County, VA researchers. Now thru Thursday, just post a message to this list with "ROLL CALL" and the applicable surname(s) in the subject if you want other to know who you are researching. Please only list those surnames who were in Amherst County, VA at some points. Mentioning the maiden name of the individual or their spouse might help as well. My DEAVER line was in the part of Amherst County which is now Nelson County around the time of the Revolutionary War. They lived in the Roseland area, which I visited a couple of years ago. I did locate some land records for them at the Amherst County Museum and visited the approximate region where they lived. William Deaver, Sr (1719-abt 1805) was the father who had about 8 sons and one daughter, all born in MD. It is believe three of the sons served in the Revolutionary War. William Deaver, Jr. was recognized by SAR/DAR as a private in the Virginia Militia and is buried in MS. His brother Richard (1768-1820) was my ancestor, who was too young to serve at the time. William Sr was married to Susannah Birchfield. There were Birchfields living near the Deaver land in Amherst County, so I assume they likely migrated from MD together. William and Susannah were married 1754 in MD, though. I believe the family likely came to VA around 1770. (The Deaver line arrived in MD from Scotland in 1657.) William Sr does show up in the 1783 VA head of household census, but not the 1784 census. They moved about that time to western NC, where several of the sons were among the founders of Buncombe County in 1792 and Haywood County in 1804. My particular line went to TN and GA around the 1850s and here to TX around 1877. Looking forward to some interesting narratives. Joe D. Deaver VAAMHERS List Admin

His wife must have died and he married Fannie Willoughby, a widow, in 1792 in Amherst. I can find no record of him after this. I think he was born in Goochland abt. 1756.
