Thanks for the information!!!

I am new to the list. My husband's ggrandfather's name was Stephen (Steven)Farmer, b: 1828 in Buckingham County, VA. He married Mildred Spouse Anderson. I am looking for his parent's names. Anyone out there searching this surname. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Mary Knott Farmer

I am a recent (about 2 weeks) subscriber of the VABUCKIN-L list. I saw your note re Stanton, etc., and referencing your book re Lost Marriages of Buckingham. I am having trouble finding or confirming my great grandfather's parents. My grandfather was Noel Jackson Allen (1869-1943) m. Naomi Byrd Brown. He was born and died in Buckingham Co. His father was Simeon Allen (1823?-1910?) m. Martha Frances Dunevant. Notes from great aunts say the Simeon descended from Capt. Richard Allen. I have lots of information on Richard, but I haven't been able to establish Simeon's parents. Do you have any insight? And, especially, if you authored the book on Lost Marriages, where could I buy it? Thank you, Noel Allen

Hi, Does anyone on the list recognize these names? My ancestor, Keziah McAshan/McShan/Mackshane, etc, born 1775, Buckingham Co. Va. Her parents were Nehemiah MCAshan and Keziah Chambers, daughter of William Chambers and his wife, possibly Elizabeth Watkins,all of Buckingham Co. Va. Keziah married (1) ____ Anderson and (2) _____ Steadby. I don't have their first names. She married (3) John Moore, son of Robert Moore and Elizabeth Ashcraft, about 1804. I don't know where John Moore or his parents came from. It could have been Buckingham or somewhere else. Are any of these marriages listed in the birth and marriage book of Buckingham? The McAshan-Moore family is given at these URLS: http://www.monmouth.com/~princef/bible-01.html http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/p/r/i/William-L-Prince/index.html Thanks, Thelma Prince

Thanks Judy for checking the book for me. I appreciate it. I guess now that I think about it--what is the name of the book Ü I missed that part. Pat48084@aol.com

Bruce, I have nothing on your paternal line but do you have anything on Margaret Anderson. I'm at a dead-end on my Thomas Jefferson Anderson who was born in Buckingham Co. ca. 1809. So far I have been unable to link him to any of the Buckingham Co. Andersons.

I've ordered a book on Buckingham County cemeteries and I'm hoping it will provide the location of the Snoddy family plot. I have a note written by Thomas Bransford who visited the Snoddy homestead in 1858. The tombstones for some of my early ancestors were there at that time & if they are still there, I hope to find them. If I do, I'll make any pictures I take available to any/all interested people. I've also ordered a book called Genealogical Records of Buckingham County. Both are from www.hearthstonebooks.com . They have close to 20 books on Buckingham County and eventually I hope to have them all. If any of you have experience with these books, I would appreciate your comments. There are census records for 1850, 1860 and 1870. Books of marriage records, land tax summaries and implied deeds. (Anyone know hat an "implied" deed is?) John Snoddy

We are trying to trace the ancestors of my wife's great grandfather, John Pierce Morgan. He was born in Buckingham County January 31, 1813 and died there in October 1899. He was married to Martha Anderson with whom he had 12 children. We understand his father was also named John, but are several John Morgans in early 1800 census records for Buckingham.We know of no way to determine whether any were related to John Pierce Morgan. Any suggestions will be appreciated, Bruce Quayle Wilmington, DE

Hi Judy, Could you look up the surname Woodmore, Wadmore, Wedmore for me in your book. William and James Woodmore/Wadmore lived in the area 1785-1830's. Thanks, Pat48084@aol.com

Sorry, don't know names of Thomas Jefferson's (the other one) wife & children. My ggggg grandfather was John (Planter) Lewis who lived near Scottsville in Albemarle County. I understand one and possibly two sons moved across the river to Buckingham County. They were John & Owen. There were several other children whose names are unknown to me. Hank

Gene, My Reuben Stinson had Scotts near him in Hamilton County Ind. in 1830s. I always thought they might be Buckingham Scotts, as there are lots of them around there. Perhaps there was a family connection. Tom

Steamboat Days on the Cumberland ~ Honoring Livingston County on Its 175 Anniversary Published by The Livingston Ledger, Smithland, KY [1974] Old Livingston County 1630-1830 by Kathleen H. Henderson, Feature Writer for Magee Newspapers Page 20 ~ Possibly no more unlikely looking candidates could be found to be pioneers than Dr. Charles L. LEWIS and his wife, Lucy JEFFERSON LEWIS, who was a sister of President Thomas JEFFERSON. They were first cousins. Dr. Charles L. LEWIS was also a cousin of Meriwether LEWIS of the LEWIS & CLARK Expedition. Meriwether LEWIS also served as a secretary to Thomas JEFFERSON. But Dr. LEWIS and his wife, Lucy, came to Livingston County [Kentucky] and lived at the Gower House until their new home was built on the Cumberland [River] not to far from what is now Smithland [KY]. This home was named Rocky Hill. In 1811, one of the LEWIS's son, Randolph, died from a snake bite. Lucy herself died in 1811. Her memorial marker is across the Cumberland [River] from Smithland [KY], in the same little park with the marker for Lt. Col. John MONTGOMERY. Isham and Lilburn LEWIS in 1812 beheaded a Negro slave named, George. Their story is well-known locally that it will be only briefly presented here. Lilburn's second wife was Lelita RUTTER. Lilburn shot himself over his mother's grave as the sheriff's party came to arrest him. After Lucy LEWIS' death, Dr. LEWIS returned to Albermarle Co., VA, the home county of the LEWIS, JEFFERSON and CLARK families. An old book, "The Wedgewood Pitcher" tells this story, for legend says the slave was killed for breaking a cut glass pitcher... 04 Oct 1998 ~ 2pm Bob, I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but I found the story interesting.

Tom: My 3-g grandfather JOSHUA W. TALLEY's brother JAMES had a daughter named SARAH TALLEY who married ARON W STINSON 20 Jan 1851 in Sumner Co., Tn. My Joshua came to Smith/Sumner Co Tn with wife Martha and her parents MOSES SCOTT in 1819. Probably other Buckingham Co families came with them as you said. Good luck in your hunt! Gene

Would you add the name of Sarah Louisa Lewis to your watch list. She is my greatgrandmother and I have seen her listed as being from KY, sometimes TN and even MO but I have never found a source that I can confirm. Thanks for reading.
