I don't know what message you are referring to, but anyone interested in the Woods of Bedford catches my eye. I am at a disadvantage here as some of my info is still in a box in storage (you know how what you really want is always in the back?) but my line goes to Calvin Lee Wood and his wife Julia Muse. Do you have any info on this line? If my memory serves me, it goes back through a couple of Calvins and a bunch of Stephens -- I have GOT to get my papers out of storage!!! Milly Guerrant

Does anyone have a copy of the will of Benjamin WITT who married Mariane CHASTAINE in VA??? Anna - Phoenix, AZ - USA * * Wild Wild West * * annaw4@prodigy.net

Hi - I am new to this list as of today. I am assuming I got in on the middle of a roll call. I am researching Browns and Bartons and am a direct descendent of Alexander Brown and Vilet Barton. Thanks....Connie

Does anyone know about John Bryant Franklin and his marriage to Marget Numan in 1792? I am interested in John's "Bryant" middle name, as I am searching my Bryants of Bedford Co. Freddi

Thanks to all who've responded to my earlier request. Even though I've still not found my "John and Mary Frazier", I'm not giving up! I'm beginning to wonder if my reference about "Bedford" meant a town or maybe a county in another state, such as NC?? Questions, puzzles, and more mysteries! The JOY of genealogy, eh?
