    2. Hello Doug, I'd love to come to the fair but can't but I wonder if you can give me any help. When you mentioned family books for sale, I thought you might know a few printers that I could contact about a small run of a genealogy book that I've been working for for years. I only want about 50 and I need someone who works with the paper and no digital files and etc. Hope I'm not imposing too much to ask you for this favor. thanks a bunch, Elizabeth Evans P.S. my Bedford folks are Page, Reynolds and Bright, plus others. Maybe sometime I can come to the fair. Its been several years since I was up that way, I live in Hampton. Thanks again.

    1. PCGS To Present a Program on The Moravians and Wagon Roads
    2. Alpha Hiatt
    3. PCGS TO PRESENT A PROGRAM ON THE MORAVIANS AND WAGON ROADS The Patrick County Genealogy Society will present a program on the Moravians and Wagon Roads on Tuesday,September 19th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Stuart Baptist Church Fellowship Hall on Blue Ridge Street (across from the historic Patrick County Courthouse). Richard Starbuck of the Moravian Archives will be the guest speaker. This is the program that was rescheduled from February 21st, 2006. The Great Wagon Road was the main North-South artery, and was the main route of transportation from North to South into the Blue Ridge area of the Piedmont. This Road is thought to have touched far southeast Patrick County where Patrick and Henry Counties come together along the North Mayo River (near Fort Mayo). The Great Wagon Road came out of the Shenandoah Valley and crossed into Franklin County near Raven Gap where it came out of the Roanoke Valley, then passed through Callaway, Ferrum, the Philpott area, forded the Smith River in the Bassett area, then came through Rangeley, Preston, and Spencer and crossed the North Mayo River into North Carolina. From there it went into Stokes County, North Carolina, forded the Dan River at Upper Sauratown at Walnut Cove, and then continued to Wachovia in what was then Forsyth County which later became Bethabara. The Great Wagon Road is shown on The Fry-Jefferson Map of the colonies of Virginia and the Carolinas which was produced in 1751 showing most of the streams and locations of the settlements. Peter Jefferson,Thomas Jefferson's father, and Joshua Fry, a neighbor who had taught mathematics at the College of William and Mary, made the first good map of the state since John Smith's of more than 100 years earlier. This map included The Irvine River (now the Smith River), Buffalo Creek, Peters Creek, and the Dan River all located in Patrick County. During the 19th Century, The Great Wagon Road was used for Stagecoach travel from Salem, NC to Salem, VA and was known as the Stage Road. One of the stage stops was at the Colonel Archelaus Hughes home which was an ordinary at that time. The Moravians have a mileage list of this Stage Road. The settlement of Bethabara was founded on November 17, 1753 when twelve settlers came from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania down the Great Wagon Road up the Shenandoah Valley until they got to Big Lick (Roanoke) and crossed over the Blue Ridge then they meandered. Several days into the meandering one of them climbed a hill (which is recorded in a travel guide) and said he saw the Pilot. Several days later they came into NC. The Moravian brethren arrived after walking from Pennsylvania along the Great Wagon Road and had with them their Conestoga Wagon. The Conestoga Wagon was a sturdy, colorful wagon used by American pioneers. It was named for the Pennsylvania town where it was first built in the middle 1700's. Conestogas carried most of the freight and people until about 1850. The Conestoga Wagon was pulled by six horses or oxen and later used to haul tobacco and other heavy loads. It could carry five tons of cargo. The Moravians were very important to the economy of the area as they had merchants, and potters who could make stoneware of which food was served from their stone crocks, and they traded with their English speaking neighbors. They also had doctors which were needed. Moravians have had dealings with people here in Patrick and Carroll Counties during the French Indian War 1755-1756 through 1772. Van Neman Zeverly, a Moravian missionary, in the 1820's & 1830's began travels into Carroll & Patrick Co. to bring the gospel unto the settlers. From that missionary work, there are now four Moravian Churches which are located in the counties of Patrick and Carroll in VA, and Surry County in NC including Mount Bethel, Willow Hill, Crooked Oak, and Grace Moravian. Willow Hill is the only one in Patrick County. This meeting is FREE and open to everyone. We encourage you to bring pictures that you may have in your family showing your ancestors raveling in the covered wagons and of Patrick County wagon makers. For more information, please call 276-692-5920. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

    1. George B. Austin, miller, b. 1818, VA
    2. I live in Texas, and can't get to VA often for research purposes; hence my cry for help. I am seeking information about my g-g-gf, George B. Austin, a miller, b. abt 1818 in VA. Here's what I know: The earliest record I can find is his marriage to my g-g-gm, (Mrs) Jane Penn White, Dec 1839, in Lexington, Rockbridge CO, VA. They appear in the 1840 Lexington census, Rockbridge CO, p.168: Austin, Geo. B., 1 male10, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30 7/5/1850 census. Northern Division, Bedford CO, p.170 George B.(age 33) and Jane (age 33) Austin Children: John, 9, b. VA Lucinda, 7, b. VA Betty, 6, b. VA (my great-grandmother) James, 5, b. VA Harriet, 4, b. VA Fannie, 2, b. VA 7/19/1860 census. Lynchburg, Campbell CO, p. 416 G. B. (age 42) and Jane (age 44) Austin Children: Jno W, age 19, b. VA Eliza A., age 14, b. VA Jas. M., age 12, b.

Lisbon, Bedford CO, page 209A George B. (age 62) and Jane (age 64) Austin George's Civil Service record. He was a color bearer who gave distinguished service in the 58th VA Infantry, Company C. Enlisted at Big Island 27 July 1861. Wounded right knee and left shoulder at Gaines Mill 27 June 1862. Later received Confederate Disability, and an artificial limb. Also found George and Jane in Bedford CO Families and History, in Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia, pub.1883 - about James Goff, who married their daughter Mary Alice (called Mollie). States that her parents made their home in Bedford CO in 1861, and are "still residents there". I would very much like to find George's parents and siblings, and data on George and Jane's deaths and where they are buried - and, of course, any other information possible. I've searched through all the censuses, the online cemetery and death records I can find, plus digging in the Bedford CO courthouse and museum records, Rockbridge CO courthouse, and the libraries in Lynchburg, Staunton, Waynesboro and Roanoke, on the few occasions I've gotten to VA. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Pat [Patricia (Austin) Rogers]
