Thanks, Rena, for the information. My daughter and I met Ms. Honts in the museum the first time we were in Fincastle. She was a sweet lady and will surely be missed. By the way, have you seen Lucy Eugenia Bryant Hurst lately? Merry Christmas! Cousin Mary in OK WILLIAMS, BRYANT/BRIANT, ALDERSON, WINFREY, DODD, TURPIN, ADAMSON. All VA & TN

Frances Rowena Crihfield 6/19/1862 - d. 1/10/1920. John Wm. was a son of Charles Dawson Hess, b 1829, m. Mary Casto. Charles Dawson Hess had a sister Catherine. Other siblings of Charles Dawson were Joseph C., Rachel, Abraham, Drucilla, Franklin P. and Elizabeth. I would like to hear from anyone who is a descendant of any of the above. I have the family information for John William Hess and some of Abraham Hess.

These families -- SHARPS, MCCLELLANS, GAMBLES, GAMMONS AND KERRS -- all were living in Botetourt County in the early years. JANE MCCLELLAN married EDWARD SHARP who died in 1770. She later married JOHN KERR, and a large group of neighbors and kin migrated to that tip of Tennessee which then was part Virginia, part North Carolina. Some researchers claim Jane was married also to SAMUEL GAMBLE. Others say that she died eventually while living with the GAMMON family. Can anyone shed any light on this? love joan

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Myers, Lark, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACI/1006 Message Board Post: Looking for the parents of Charity Myers who married John Larkin Botetourt County, VA Jan. 1, 1832. May not have been their first marriage(s) as he was c35 yrs old and she was c20 yrs old.

The initial purpose of the KESSLER/KESLER surname DNA project was to link 2 families descending from a possible common ancestors in MD/PA in the 1700's. After preliminary testing, the results show these 2 men, one from a line in Botetourt Co., VA and the other from a line in Frederick Co., MD, to be related as closely as 99.9%. Given these results, this surname project was opened to any and all male with the variant spelling of KESSLER/KESLER/KESLAR/KEASLER's. Recently 2 more gentleman, one from a Botetourt Co., VA line and the other from a Franklin Co., VA line, took part in the testing also with successful results. These results also ruled out any connection with the first two men that were tested. The more participants, the more DNA results to compare. Ruling out a possible ancestor line is just as important as finding a new lead for one. All KESSLER/KESLER/KESLAR/KEASLER men are encouraged to participate and if a match is made, additional written genealogy data can be obtained from that individual. DNA testing will allow us new leads to pursue. I am hopeful that someone from the Kessler branch of Fayette Co., WV and Fayette Co.,PA might also be able to take part in this test and compare to see if we may all belong to the same line of Kessler/Kessler/Keslar/Keasler.
