I would be interested in knowing the names of the people buried in the Buckingham Baptist Cemetery - is there a source for this? Pucky

Carol, Thank you for this information. My 3rd great grandparents, William Gordon & Rhoda McCormick/McCormack, were married in Buckingham Co. circa 1821. I have been trying to find the parents of each of them. William was older, b. 1779 in VA, and was probably married to his first wife (name unknown) by the time period that this list covered. Rhoda was born in 1800 and it is possible that one of these three men was her father. From land transfer records, it appears that William & Rhoda obtained land from the estate of Stephen McCormack, but I have been unsuccessful finding names of his children. I appreciate your assistance in checking the book.

Sounds to me, the letter is stating they are not sure what killed the mother...cancer? Perhaps he means at least 4 doctors were called in for opinions and how to help the mother?? Brenda

(I'M KIDDING!!!) So here is what I would like for you to do. Just reply with your name, address, phone number. If we worked on genealogy together, please let me know the families or surnames that we worked on together. Some I already know, but some I have forgotten, plus I may have new and or updated information for you. I am also in the early stages of updating the Shumaker book and many of you are in it so I'd like to be able to contact you in order to get updated info. I am also doing this as a mass mailing so if any email address bounces back, I know to remove it. Okay, thanks a bunch everyone. Hope you had a nice 4th of July. Kim Shumaker Clark

Dear Michael, No, I don't have a Jesse Robertson and to tell you the truth I haven't been doing much research lately. Rose sparked my interest with Arvonia and Pankey. I do have some info of Robertsons in Albemarle county. I've been trying to figure out how Pat Robertson is related to our line. Still haven't figured it out. Papa (David Robertson) said that he and Willis Robertson were 2nd cousins. The names in Pat Robertson's line are also in our line. If I come across the name of Jesse Robertson, I will definitely let you know. Small world when it comes to this family tree. Thank you and glad to meet you, Deborah

Carol, thank you so much for looking. Norma

Hello Deborah, Yes, William was my Great Uncle. Somewhere around here on a CD and in the old photo albums of my Fathers I have photos of Uncle Billy and Aunt Bernice. When I find them I will be happy to forward. In your Robertson tree might you have a Jessee C Robertson married to a Jordina (or any variant) last I found them is them is the 1870 census in North Garden, Albemarle Co., VA ??

If you want a longer list of physicians, check the Personal Property Tax lists for Buckingham County, 1849-1850 years, to get names of physicians who were licensed to practice medicine. They had to pay a tax for the license. The census does not list every person in a profession because almost everyone was multi-occupational. The minister not only pastored a church but may have been a farmer or merchant, too. A school teacher was more than likely a farmer or carpenter, also, or whatever. Only one occupation could be listed on the census. The tax information is available from the Library of Virginia via interlibrary loan. Wilmer L.

In a letter written to his children in March 1843, my ggg-grandfather William C. Harris wrote: "Your Mother is dead. I suppose cancer killed her. She had stayed near New Canton at a doctor's house three months. She was attended by four doctors. After she died, I kept her out of the grave three days and she was buried in the grave yard on the plantation where she lived and died". Her name was Judith Griswold/Grizzle Harris died February 24, 1843 I have never found where these ancestors lived in Buckingham but am sure it was probably near New Canton. Has anyone seen anything written on the physicians in New Canton in 1843. I thought "attended by four doctors" was strange ----four physicians in New Canton at that time. Thank you.
