I have an ancestor who was 'of the Parish of Russell in the County of Bedford.' Is this Parish Presbyterian, and is it still in existence? Does anyone have an address where I could write for information of parishioners in 1770s? I thank you for your help Marcia

Dear fellow listers, Would anyone out there have information on the Sam and Nannie Clark family of Bedford VA around 1920 timeframe. They had a daughter named Ada who married my grandfather John H. Mozingo in 1924. Thank you, Bill Mozingo

I was wondering if anyone had a web site or something list for the different counties of Virginia? Are there Marriages or Marriage Bond Lists for other counties like there is for Bedford County? What about Birth and Death lists? - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I can not seem to go back in time past the following: John B. Hackworth b. abt. 1743 sp: Mary Preston Augustine Austin Hackworth b. abt. 1746 sp: Mary Ruth William Hackworth b. abt. 1749 sp: Mary Ruth Rigney George Hackworth b. 28 Feb. 1752 sp: Ann Murphy Joseph Hackworth Elizabeth Hackworth b. 1756 sp: Reuben Radford Thomas Hackworth b. 11 April 1763 sp: Elizabeth Ann Johnson. (This is my direct line) I am interested in all of these families and their descendants. Would be happy to share with others. Sincerely, Marian eepedersen@msn.com @msn.com

Hi List, Anybody researching Cofer's from Bedford County? Al Cofer Livermore, CA

I am searching for any information on a James A. BOBLETT b. ca 1828. On his marriage certificate in Washington Co., KY. it states his age as 29 and that he was born in Bedford Co., VA. It is possible that his father was John BOBLETT. There is a marriage bond for a John BOBLETT & Lydia COX in Bedford Co., VA for 12 October 1802. Would appreciate any information on the BOBLETT line. I have James A. to present and will share with anyone that is interested. Thanks.
