I am seeking birth & death dates for Mary Elizabeth BUSH SMITH d. about 1918 possibly in Botetourt County. She was the wife of William Henry Smith b. 16 June 1861, d. 11 February 1949 in Shawsville, Montgomery County VA. He is buried at Mt. Union Cemetery in Botetourt County, but I'm not sure if she is also buried there. I could find neither of them in the online listings for Mt. Union Cemetery. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Karen Genealogists never die, they just lose their census!

Public thanks to the person who answered my request privately, the comprehensive list sent was very helpful in ruling out Botetourt Co as marriage place.

Hi, all. New to this list and hoping someone can help me. I am trying to locate a marriage record for the following, year probably 1864 or 1865. All online marriage records seem to only go to early 1800s. If anyone knows of an online source or where/who to contact regarding a look-up, it would be appreciated. Martin R. or Reed WATSON and Mary C. Kinsey He was on the Botetourt Co 1860 census with his father and family, Nikles/Nicholas W. Watson, they moved to Scott Co VA sometime before the 1870, so possibility the marriage took place there, but Scott Co records go past the 1865 era and not there. Many thanks, Aileen in WA **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.
