Thanks Carol, and for taking the time to type the information..... The Abner Seay you spoke of is our ancestor, and I am familiar with Whitley's book Abner was also one of the signers of the Petition on the creation of Planterstown. I was hoping to pinpoint the location of Pankey's Store, probably Arvonia. Is the Marshall District in Arvonia? Peter Pankey was the only head-of-household Pankey in 1870 census in Buckingham, and residing in the Marshall District. Perhaps the store was in this area. It existed for many years, with the same name, even into the 1900's, I am told. One of our ancestors lived above the store in the 1870's. Hoping to get a tip soon, thanks again, Rose ----- Original Message ----- From: "Setliff" <sliff@wctc.net> To: <VABUCKIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 03, 2006 5:37 PM Subject: RE: [VABUCKIN] Olden Store in Buckingham.. > Rose, > In a book called "Genealogical Records of Buckingham Co., Virginia", by > Buck, on pages 133-135 is in part written... > > "In 1930 while searching for the graves of Claiborne West and wife Betty > Ann Woodson (Epperson), the author found Mr. Irving Davie living in the > old Claiborne West home.
