Wilma, They are available on microfilm through either the Library of Virginia or through the library system of the Church of Latter Day Saints. I'm not 100% sure about Campbell, but most counties have a marriage register as a part of their county records. These may be different from the Bureau of Vital Statistics Records which is what you normally think of as marriage records in this period. Note these are indexed by bride and groom but the index rolls are separate from the marriage rolls. You might want to get the index roll though depending on where your family is because there seems to be considerable movement back and forth across county lines and in and out of Lynchburg. Hope this is helpful, Marilyn Jackson
Are there marriage records available for the period 1850-1900 for Campbell County? Any help appreciated. Wilma

There is a wonderful web site on the Cloudas/Cloudis/Crowdas Family by John Knouse. I accessed it and printed everything out. It is huge!! And it has census data to back it up. Most of my information came from that, plus some research in Missouri this spring. If you haven't already found this site you can access it at http://www.jaknouse.athens.oh.us/genealogy/cloudas.shtml. My grandmother always told us that she was decended from a Tuckaho Indian woman named Pocahontas Cloudis. We visited her grave in MO. Although, I have not been able to make a connection to the Tuckahoe tribe, it apparently is an offshoot of the Cherokee tribe. Many of them did not publicly acknowledge that they were Indian back then because they were afraid and ashamed. I am thrilled to pieces that I may have Indian ancestry! The Prebble children that you inquired about were the children of Eldridge Clark Prebble and Minnie James. It appears that Eldridge was a cousin of Pocahontas, and was considerably younger than she was. They both may have been widowed at the time of their marriage. Pocahontas and Eldridge didn't have any children together. She raised them until her death by pneumonia. They must have remained close with her other children because they are listed as survivors in an old obituary of one of Pocahontas's sons, Patrick (P. E.) Snead. After Pocahontas' death he remarried Mary Catherine Scott and they had six more children. I did not have any information on Powhaten Ann, except that she married a Robinson. This is indeed exciting to find you! Looking forward to hearing from you again. Meg

My great-great grandmother was Powhaten Ann Cloudis Robinson, your ancestors sister. I'm thrilled to finally find someone from that side. I don't know very much about her, but I've run across Pocahatus fairly often. Do you have much on these folks, beyond their romantic names? I look forward to hearing from you. Debby Mays
