Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline/1804 Surname: Stevens, Purks, Merriman, Merryman ------------------------- I am descended from Hilbert Stevens of Caroline County, VA. But the records I have show his name as Hilbert Jefferson Stevens, and his birthplace as Edinburg, Scotland in 1822. He had a son, born in the later 1800's named Hilbert Temple Stevens. I also have Hilbert Jefferson's wife listed as Elizabeth Purks, daughter of Sam or John (not sure) Purks and Judy Merriman. But that could have been a typo and it could have been Merryman. I am in email contact with Hilbert Temple's grandson. I'd love to get this straight for my charts too!!

Good evening everyone: To anyone who subscribes (or not) to the Caroline Progress newspaper- an FYI In August they published their second "Hundred Years in Pictures" - this time featuring all the Caroline County Churches. Each Church was mentioned and a picture displayed. There were 20 pages and I found it to be interesting and informative. I subscribe to the newspaper but this special tabloid was not sent with the regular subscription. I had to request it. I don't know if there are any left but it's worth a try ... probably for a dollar or so Postage and Handling.. Linda The address is: The Caroline Progress P.O. Box 69 Bowling Green, VA 22427 email: carolineprogress@mindspring.com

Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline/1801 Surname: Callaway ------------------------- My ancestor Joseph Callaway owned property near a place named "Naulakla" on USGS Topographic Quadrangle for Supply, Va. It lies south of Portabago Bay just inside the Caroline County border within the boundaries of the A.P. Hill Army Reservation on a ridge between the headwaters of Portabago Creek and Portage Run. It is about a half mile from another mysterious location called "Damel Corner". Does anybody know the history of either of these locations and names?

Just learned of a new family line that married with my KIDD line of Caroline Co. Hopefully I can now find some living descendants of these two families. Any information regarding these families, especially marriage dates, would be greatly appreciated. Frances Kidd married Thornton H Bradley they had 4 children: Wm H, Park, Lucy A, and Virginia E. Thanks to Herbert Ridgeway Collins cemetery books, I learned of Thornton's birth and death dates. I think Frances might have died before 1850. Virginia E married Wm Newton Collawn. Again thanks to the cemetery book, I learned that this couple had at least two children: Robert Aubrey and Lelia Pearl. Thanking you in advice for any assistance. Elaine Kidd O'Leary in CT

I am working on the family of William E Bowers and Fanny Jones who were married Dec 17. 1796 in Caroline Co. Is there anyone related to either of these lines?

Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline/1793 Surname: Murphy, Murphey, Herndon, Terrell ------------------------- Looking for information on the Murpheys that lived in Caroline Co. in the early to mid 1700's. Father was Gabriel Sr. who fought in the Rev. War; son Gabriel Jr. and possibly a William, James, John, Elizabeth, Rachel and Nancy. Gabriel Jr. married Clarey Herndon, daughter of David Herndon and Nancy Pierce. I think it is possible that William, James and John married Terrell girls--Patsy, Lucy and Sarah--and migrated to Caswell, NC. ONLY a theory that I am checking out... But they do all appear on an LDS record together.
