I am seeking info on the marriage record of George SHULTZ & Naomi RUSSELL I have a piece of paper here that says they were married in 1814 in Augusta Co, VA. Does anyone have access to those records? Someone looked in a book for me but could not find them. Thank You Susane Works in Progress *****"Remedies & Household Hints from the 1800's" and *******"Great Gramma's Recipes from the 1800's "********

Hi Linda I am descended from Christopher’s son Robert Graham, and will share what I have collected on the Graham’s. Some of the spellings I have found on different branches of the family : Graham, Grayham, Grimes, Grymes, Grimms. Christopher is believed to have migrated from Scotland into Ireland about 1687. About 1699 he married Margaret Florence Risk in Donegal City, Ireland. Margaret was also of Scots descent, and some of her family emigrated with them to the colonies. Some researchers say Christopher is the son of Thomas Graham, who is first seen on the 1704 rent rolls of VA, and brother of Edward Graham. Most researchers agree that Christopher Graham emigrated, along with a group of family and friends, sometime before 1710, settling in Paxton Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Although many passenger lists have been reconstructed from various sources, documentation of the ship he sailed on, or the exact date of his arrival have yet to be found. Christopher was one of the early settlers of the Cowpasture Valley in Virginia. According to Highland County history he migrated to the area sometime before 1740. Highland county was then part of Augusta county. Christopher died on the Bullpasture River probably in 1745. His will was recorded in Augusta county 19 Feb 1746. His son Robert was administrator of the estate with William Smith and Robert Bratton serving as sureties. There seems to be conflicting info on whether Christopher’s children were born in Ireland or the colonies.

Hi y'all, Does anyone recognize BELINDESS as a surname in early Augusta County (1700's)? >From the same source of this name, I have found a transcription error that turned HARRIS to HANIE.... So, I expect that this is also the same sort of error, any suggestions as to what it 'might' be? The earlier assumption was that it could be German (Hessian?), and the Bible records were destroyed (1927) because of the 'assumption', but it could be any ethnic group. I've never seen any name like it before and I have a few 'strange' ones connected to me. <grin> ............Some I even take credit for! <grin> Could it be Melungeon? I have no way of know this and I'm just tossing it up to question. I know NOTHING of this multi-ethnic group......... only the name. Looking for any constructive suggestions.... Many, many thanks, Lisa Grimes

Recently I have been forwarding lists of uploadings to the VA archives to you. Then I asked if this was helpful and should I continue. I have been gratified by the number of postive responses and will keep doing it as they come in. Have also had a couple of inquiries about what is involved in making submissions to the archives.

Dear listers, As most of you know by now (and are probably tired of hearing about it!), I am attempting to annotate the 1860 Bath census with maiden names. Does anybody know the maiden names (with sources, please) of the following women found in the 1860 Bath county census? These are all names I have *not* sent to these lists before this. The dates mean "married in or before this year", based on the age of their eldest child in the census. BURNS, Huggart M. & Elizabeth -1858 BURNS, Abraham & Margaret J. -1855 BURNS, Joseph & Sally/Sarah 1850-1860 (2nd mrg; his first wife was Christina Potts) CAMPBELL, Alexander D. & Mary Elizabeth DICKENSON 1850-1854 (need date & county) DAINGERFIELD/DANGERFIELD, Leroy P. Jr. & Margaret -1860 maybe Frederick or Greenbrier DILL, William M. & Susan 1851-1860 GRINSTON, John & Elizabeth (Havershill?) -1860 HUDDLESTON, David & Agnes -1855 HUTTLE/HOTTLE/HUDDLE/HODEL, Woodson & Jane, -1840 JACKSON, Albert & Mary, -1854 JORDAN, George & Frances/Fanny, -1835 JOSEPH, Ezekiel & Elizabeth -1849 JOSEPH, Samuel & Anne 1850-1860 (maybe 2nd mrg; wife in 1850 was Mary) KESTERSON, William & Mary/Polly -1834 LINKSWILER/LYNKSMISER, Joseph & Nancy (Windon? Ross?) -1854 LIPTRAP (SIPTRAP/LISSTRAP), Anthony & Sarah, -1838 LOAN, Thompson & Mary, -1843 maybe Albemarle For all of these, I have checked the following sources: --Bath and Pocahontas county marriage records through 1861 --Bath death records thru 1870 --Highland marriages thru 1861 & deaths thru 1870 --Augusta marriages thru 1850 --Alleghany marriages thru 1854 --Rockbridge marriages thru 1850 --the post-1850 Rockbridge marriage book online (which is not complete) --Morton's History of Highland county --Shenandoah co. marriages thru 1850 --Nelson co. marriages thru 1850 --Pendleton marriages thru 1850 --Rockingham marriages thru 1850 --CD 229 (VA Marriage Index thru 1850) I will continue checking marriages in surrounding counties & later timeframes, but hope one of you will have these elusive folks in your files! I'll gladly offer free lookups in the 1850 VA and 1860 Bath/Highland census in return for any help, or a free annotated 1860 Bath census book (when it's published) if you send me 5 or more maiden names with sources.

Does anyone on this list have any information regarding the Peter COUGHRAN(COCHRAN) who was a resident of Lancaster Co., PA and prior to 1750 removed to Augusta County, VA? This according to Court Papers 390, Montgomery vs. Cochran, from Valley of Virginia Notes.

I have a Leander McChesney b. 1800, Leander Moses McChesney, b. 1853 and a Leander Moses McChesney b, 1919. But I have no reference to a Sawyer Bell McChesney. How interesting. There must be a connection. I do have some BELL's. Do you know of any BELL's in your family? Maybe we could connect.
