Dear Bedford/Franklin Co. Researchers: I have a notation for the Franklin Co. marriage between Isaiah Wright and Peggy Ferguson, 20 Nov 1797- surety: Nelson Chapman Does anyone know who this Nelson Chapman is? Any information at all would be helpful. Thank you , Carla Davenport

Dear Francis, This is in response to your query regarding Hamilton and other familes you are researching in Bedford. For convenience, I am copying the Wright and Bedford mail lists. The one small piece of information that I have relates to Elizabeth (Wright) Hamilton and her husband Thomas Hamilton. Elizabeth was a daughter of 1779 (year of death) John Wright of Prince Edward County, Virginia (place of death) and Anne (Pryor) Wright. She married Thomas Hamilton (Hambleton) on May 22, 1783, at Bedford County, Virginia. A correspondent friend, Nancy Wright Bays, stated that on March 2, 1816, at Floyd County, Virginia, D.B. A/381 David Hamilton, Thomas Hamilton, and Stephen Hamilton appointed Alexander Dunbar and John McConnell to collect what was due to them as heirs of David Wright, late of Tennessee. That was David Wright, Sr., a son of 1779 John Wright and, therefore, a brother of Elizabeth (Wright) Hamilton. Nancy Bays also stated that the Thomas Hamilton who married Elizabeth Wright was a son of Thomas Hamilton, was born in 1757, and married second Ann Martin of Sullivan County, Tennessee. I hope this is of some help to you. If you have additional information on Elizabeth (Wright) Hamilton and her descendants, I would much appreciate your sharing it with me. Best wishes, Robert N.

Hi everyone, Wanted to update you, Greg got the job. He has to be there by the 5th of November. Just found out we can only take 3000 lbs. This should be interesting. I got a Hotmail account, hopefully this works. I should be able to access my mail from other computers without having to have AOL. Qwestor@hotmail.com If you need anything I hope this will work. One other question, does anyone how I can find out about which sites I have queries on? I can't find where I put my list. Is there anyway to put an "autoresponder on my AOL account once I close it, to give my new email address? Thanks, Jeri
