The birth index is for 1854 to 1896, but there are years and pages missing or illegible, so there is a lot of missing data.

A Hanover woman picked up the stray on the way to a vacation with friends and family in Delaware in late June. The 6to 8-week-old kitten was alongside the road on U.S. 13 on the Eastern Shore near the Delaware line. On the way back home, the woman noticed the kitten showing signs of illness, said Marcus Allen, a public health supervisor for the Chickahominy Health District. "We got a call from Hanover County animal control that they were on the way to pick up an animal showing neurological symptoms and having seizures," Allen said. The kitten was sent to the Virginia Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services where tests confirmed it had rabies. Health officials at the state central office notified public health officials in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania, where the others who had contact with the kitten live, Allen said. "Although we understand people want to help animals, there is no definite way to tell an animal has rabies just by observing it and its behavior," said Dr. Brooke Rossheim, Chickahominy Health District acting director. "While the intentions were good, there can be significant consequences." Rabid animals are not uncommon in Virginia. Through July 4, there have been 274 laboratory-confirmed cases in the state. Of that number, there were 143 raccoons, 58 skunks, 31 foxes, 20 cats, 10 bats, eight cows, and one each bobcat, dog, groundhog and horse. Treatment for humans after exposure includes one dose of human rabies immune globulin and five rabies-vaccine shots over 28 days. The cost can run $1,500 to $2,000, and insurance generally covers it, Allen said. State records show the last human rabies infection in Virginia was in 2003.

Hi All, Still looking for someone with info on Samuel Ellis Martin, b. circa 1824 in Amherst. Wife-Nancy Hartless. Died March of 1904 in Rockbridge Co., VA. I think his father and mother may have been William E. Martin, Jr. and Tinsy Lawhorne. Samuel named his only son William Ellis Martin. William E. Martin married first Nancy Cash, and then Lucy A. Lawhorne. He lived most of his life in Rockbridge Co., and was known as "Uncle Chub" or "Chub" Martin. Phyllis
