Last weekend I started listed names out of a scrap book I found. As I stated I would list all the names over several weeks. These are articles (mostly obits) from the late 1800's and early 1900's. For details on the articles email me. As I stated before I live in Troutville and will show this book to anyone who wants to look at it, if you want to come to Troutville. Rev.

I just finished making some notes from the Botetourt County Death Register and wanted to pass them on to the Markham and Botetourt Mailing List. Most but not all listed here are conected with the MARKHAM surname, however, I have included all that I recorded for the benefit of those researching other surnames from Botetourt. The reel was missing several years.

Apparently, there were at least 3 Hezekiah Browns in Virginia in the 1780's: one in Culpepper Co., one in Dinwiddie Co. and one in Botetourt County (mentioned in the 1787 tax list there). Does anybody on the list know anything about any of these early Hezekiah Browns? Thanks, Tracy J.

Here is some thing I got off (va-roots@leo.vsla.edu) sent by linda. This is a very old letter that I've had for quite some time. I don't recall where it came from but it was wrapped in tissue paper and sealed with 1916 Red Cross stamps. The letter is stated below exactly as it reads. Jan. 24, 1884 To the clerk of the County of Roanoke Dear Sir I once had six brothers & one sister living in Botetourt County that I have not heard of nor had any word from for menny years & I have lately learned that the county has been changed in name from Botetourt to Roanoke if so that may be the Reasen of that My letters donot Reach My folkes and are not answered. Will you please let me know Washington James Samuel Martin Johnathan & Daniel Mason either or any of the any of above named Masons' are living in your county if so please send or mail this to anyone of them. they all once lived in Botetourt County Salem the County seat.

Had children James Mason Samuel Mason lives in Floyd or Montgomery County I wrote to James Sisson Locust Grove Floyd Co. who married his step daughter to get his P.O. Saml. Gish's wife is his daughter now living Martin Mason Jonathan Mason went to New London, Campbell Co. Dead. Has a son Hatcher Mason is now living at Sam Gish's Daniel Mason dead was Pine Grove.

Hi Darryl May I ask a favor? Can you send me the entry on LR Markham from your scrap book? I want to re-distribute it to the Markham Mailing List. It is probably beneficial to some of our researchers who are researching Markhams in Botetourt Co. Cordially, Chris Marcum marcum@dayton.bassinc.com

Saw your post: "Hi, I'm new to this list-researching Markham's from Botetourt Co later settled in Lee Co Va. My 4th gr grandfather was Josiah Markham m Mary Polly Bales from Bedford Co. All info indicates he was from Botetourt. Anyone else researching this line?" Yes, I am researching the same line of Josiah Markham and Mary Polly Beales. Have we corresponded before? Please contact me if not, as I have lots of information I can share with you. Regards, Chris Marcum marcum@dayton.bassinc.com

I am searching for clues to my James Armstrong and Mary Thompson. The record of their marriage is below. Robert Armstrong is, I believe, James' father but I am wondering what connection that William McClintick and T. Melholand might have to this couple. If you have any of these surnames in Botetourt Co. around this time I would like to exchange notes with you. ARMSTRONG, James & Mary THOMPSON 20Jun 1787; b- Robert Armstrong; wit- James Poindexter (deputy clerk); con- Martha Thompson, mother, 16 Jun 1787 wit- T.

I found a scrap book yesterday that has many newspaper articles in it from the very late 1890's and on up to about the early 1930's. It mainly has family articles in it but also has others that are not family. Over the next couple of weeks I thought I would list the names of the people who are in the scrap book. So if you are researching any of these names email me and I will send the article on that person. Mrs Will Delong Mr Joseph Winger Lula Craft Mrs Mabel Vasser L R Markham Mr Harry Beard Miss Grace L Pearman Malcom Randolph Leffel Mrs Susan Secrist James White E T Beamer Mary R Austin Betty Jo Hunt (Infant obit) Mr B F Lindsey Quiucy Gray H T Hontz (2 articles) Mrs Mattie Finch William Bayne Mrs Mary Switzer Henry Owen Flippo Henry Bugh (2 articles) Ulysus Grant Shay Luther T Mundy (Sheriff, obit) Juanita Shaver Miss Emma Noftsinger James White Odessa S Walker Mrs Mary E Smith Mrs Peter Austin Mr Kemper M Austin Mrs J W Shirley Most of these are obits but not all of them. I use webtv so I will have to type each article per request so please keep it to your research and not just something you would like to see. I do live in Troutville and would let someone look at this book if they wanted to come by and see it. I will send more of the names in this book later. Darryl Winger

To Botetourt and Augusta County Lists: Trying to find information on ROBERT LUNNEY and his family who came from the Isle of Man about 1732. We on LOONEY-L are trying to determine if (and how many) any of Robert's siblings came with him from the Isle and what his father's name was. We can document a *lot* of LOONEYs in Botetourt County in the time that ROBERT was there and most have been attribu- ted as his children. However, the ages don't fit. They must be neices and nephews. Robert owned Looneys Mill, Looneys Mill Ferry and built Fort Looney (which was later renamed Fort Fauquier) all on the James River. Looneys Mill Creek that feeds into the James was named for him. If you would like to help us search for them, you can join us on LOONEY-L@RootsWeb.Com and we can exchange information. It's not open subscription, so you'll have to send me a note explaining how you're connected and I can subscribe you. We're also accepting other Looneys that came from the Isle of Man, Ireland or whatever, so long as they can possibly trace back to our Celtic heritage. BTW, we're not "closed" because we don't want you, we just don't want to be overtaken by Warner Bros. fans. Go go Yosemite Sam! ;) I'm thinkin' about changing that. -- Ed Looney EGLooney@Airmail.Net List Owner: BRANCH-L; CHILDERS-L; HEACKER-L; LITTRELL-L Co-Owner: LOONEY-L Assistant: ROBERTS-L Sponsor: Floyd County (TXGenWeb/USGenWeb)

Darryl: Lithia is located off Route 11 just west of Buchanan, Virginia in Botetourt County. There is not much to the place anymore. Just a few houses. There are two churches and each has a cemetery. The Lithia United Methodist Church and The Lithia Baptist Church. The Baptist Church is getting ready to have a celebration of 150 years (I think). Barbara Markham (540-254-1830) and Frank (Cotton) Hartman (540-254-1534) are in possession of all the records and historical information. They may be of help to you. I have been in both of the cemeteries and there are a lot of Markhams and Fringers buried there. Good Luck in your search and I hope the information helps you!! Lynda Troutt Murphy

I am trying to find information on John Tribble Davis, born in Bedford County in 1803. His parents were George Davis and Mary Ann Tribble. George was supposedly related to Jefferson Davis. John and his mother moved to Illinois around 1813, so we are assuming George died in Virginia. Any information on the Tribble line would be helpful. Thanks. SueJohnson@compuserve.com
