William Joseph HARRIS was born in Bedford County about 1869, the son of Timothy Harris and Ann REYNOLDS. William married Lucy MITCHELL on 24 Oct 1894 in Bedford County. They had at least two sons, Roy (b. Aug 1896) and Ossie M. (b. June 1898). I have lots of information on William's paternal ancestors. Does anyone have anything on his descendants?

I found a reference that Joseph WHITE of Amelia County was noted in a book or periodical called "Genealogical Serendipity, V. l." I cannot find this book or periodical in any of our libraries. Does anyone have this in their collection? I would greatly appreciate it if someone could do a "look up" for me to see what information was given regarding him. Joseph WHITE moved from Amelia County to Bedford County. He was in Bedford in the 1770's. He married (1) Elizabeth and (2) the widow, Penelope Taylor. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hi, Ed was asking about the book the Virginia Candlers. I checked the Library of VA online catalog. They have a copy. It is by Darlene Kay Thomas and was published in 1994. I think it was self-published. You might be able to email the Lib.. of VA & see if her address is in the book. Have you tried searching online bookstores for it? There are some that specialize in genealogy books. Try Appletons http://www.appletons.com http://www.genealogy-books.com http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ Barbara Green's used genealogy books http://www.wavenet.com/~genbooks/ http://www.heritagebooks.com/ Good luck.

Hello All... I am interested in any information available on the Strong Family from this area of VA. Thanks... Carolyn Strong

I am attempting to trace all descendants of Rev. William Harris (1780-1865), who was a Baptist minister in Bedford County for over 50 years. I have lots of information to share with anyone who is interested, and also a few roadblocks that I could use some help with. His eldest son, Yancey Harris, was born about 1800, and married Louisa L. Thompson (dau. of David Waddy Thompson, Sr. and Elizabeth Anderson) in Bedford County on 12 Mar 1824. I've identified 7 children of this couple, including John N. (or W.) Harris, born about 1834. John appears with his parents in the 1840, 1850, 1860, and 1870 Censuses. I haven't found any record of a marriage for him. There are two John N. (or W.) Harrises in two different Confederate units from Bedford County, one in the 34th VA Infantry (formerly the Virginia 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment) and one in the Bedford Light Artillery. John's brother was in the Bedford Light Artillery, but he had cousins and an uncle in the 34th. Does this John Harris sound familiar to anyone? I haven't found him in the 1880 Census for Bedford County, so perhaps he moved away. Cheryl Chasin CherylC470@aol.com
