Certificate #25301 County of Buckingham District of Marshall Name: Pattie Gormas Residence: New Canton, Va Female, White, Widowed Date of Birth: March 3, 1849 81 years, 8 months, 20 days Occupation: Housekeeper Birthplace: Buckingham County Father: John Blundell (born Buckingham) Mother: "Don't Know" Date of Death November 23, 1930 Burial: At Home on 11/25/1930 W.R. Gormas, New Canton, informant

This part of the Gormus family is confusing. Pattie (Patricia Elizabeth Blundell) Gormus and William R. Gormus had at least 6 children: I have their marriage date as November 12, 1871) Georgie Gormus who married Charlie Harris Oliva Gormus who married Lee Hatcher Betty Walker Gormus who married William David Walden (one of their children, Charlie, married his first cousin, Blanch Gormus who was my mother's older sister) William R. (Dutch) Gormus who married Julie E. Moss Pendleton John Robert Gormus who married Lou Madison Wooten Josephine (Josie) Gormus who married Hugh William Oslin. In the family of William R. (Dutch) Gormus the spelling of the name was changed to Gormours. I haven't been able to find much on the Blundell family. In the 1860 census Mary Blundell, age 76, female born VA. Living with her were Roda (Rhoda) A. Blundell age 32, female, John age 16, male, Charles age 12, male, Gloria age 10 female, Patsy age 8 female, Milded age 5 female, Thomas age 2 male. In the 1870 census I found Stephen Jackson Childress listed living with a black family by the name of Wood. He is listed as a blacksmith. Immediately under his name is Rhoda Blundell, age 42, seamstress, Pattie age 17, seamstress, Mildred age 15, seamstress, Thomas age 12, Joseph age 9, Mary age 8, Robert age 3. It's my belief that Stephen Jackson Childress is the father of Joseph, Mary and Robert but not the father of Pattie or Mildred or Thomas???? Any help with this family would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Shumaker Clark" <kim.clark@adelphia.net> To: <VABUCKIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 9:12 PM Subject: [VABUCKIN] Gormas/Blundell > Certificate #25301 > County of Buckingham > District of Marshall > Name: Pattie Gormas > Residence: New Canton, Va > Female, White, Widowed > Date of Birth: March 3, 1849 > 81 years, 8 months, 20 days > Occupation: Housekeeper > Birthplace: Buckingham County > Father: John Blundell (born Buckingham) > Mother: "Don't Know" > Date of Death November 23, 1930 > Burial: At Home on 11/25/1930 > W.R.
