For those of you who are looking in Caroline Co. a really good book to buy is: Caroline County, Virginia Court Records & Marriages, 1787 - 1810 This book is written by William Lindsay Hopkins You can call 1-800-394-8634 Mon - Fri. 8a-6p EST or Saturday 8a-Noon EST. Or you can write: Iberian Publishing Company 548 Cedar Creek Drive Athens, Georgia 30605-3408 I have nothing to do with selling of the book. I have it, and have been able to help out with many of you by using it. Sometimes there is so much on one family it is hard to type and send it all. I bought my book for $30. at Hearthstone Book Store they too, are online you can click on the following: <A HREF="http://www.hearthstonebooks.com/">Hearthstone Bookshop</A> and order on line. The book explains that many of Caroline County's will, deed and order books were destroyed by fire as had been the earliest marriage records in a previous fire. Due to these crucial loses, genealogists and family researchers have had to accept the fact that it appeared that many family lines could be searched back to Caroline County but had to stop there due to a lack of court records. Some years ago, a small number of complete wills and deeds for the years prior to 1800 were found as part of the extant Chancery Court papers for Caroline County and they were Photostatted and bound into two volumns. These records along with the early order books and the marriage registers for the years after 1787 became the true source of Caroline County records prior to 1800. The Caroline County book is the result of a very careful sorting through of the most useful unbound records that are now extant. From the table of contents, the reader can see that there is a wide variety of materials included. In every case, the information included here is transcribed as it was found in the original with no attempt being made to change spellings or to imply relationships. Many of these records appear to be a clerk's hastily written notes and are very difficult to read while some others are on pieces of disintegrating paper. In the future, all researchers of Caroline County records will have this volumn, T.E. Campbell's Caroline County, Marshall Wingfield's History of Caroline County, Virginia, the microfilmed copies of the extant will books, deed books, order books and the surviving marriage registers to use as compliments to each other. Also, John Frederick Dorman has published his abstracts of the Caroline Order Books through the year 1760. Careful notation of where each piece of information can be found in the Virginia State Library Archives was of paramount importance. All references can be found in the Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia unless another source is noted. Except for Caroline County Wills Found in Other Sources and Caroline County Marriages 1787-1810, all of the page headings in this book refer to boxed material that can be found only in the stacks of the Archives Division of the Virginia State Library under the correct headings. A separate folder within any one of these boxes can hold one piece of paper or a hundred separate pieces of paper.

I am sorry to have to do this, but I can't find or remember who asked about where Goose Creek was located. Goose Creek is the largest Virginia Stream which enters the Potomac between Washington and the Shenandoah RIver. It enters the Potomac RIver 14 miles West by north of Great Falls. June

The Historic Port Royal Inc. just announced that the long awaited reprint of *Hidden Village*, the definitive work on the history of Port Royal, is due to be released sometime in August. The book is currently being re-published by Sheridan Books in Fredericksburg. This 430 hardbound book with over 65 illus. is an in-depth study of the people, structures, and history of Port Royal from 1744 to 1981. Having been of-of-print and unavailable for over a decade, the demand for this work by historians, genealogists, and interested parties will be great. We should all be grateful to Rev. Ralph Emmett Fall, the author of *Hidden Village*, for granted Historic Port Royal exclusive rights to reprint this masterful work. For information on how to order your copy, contact Bill Henderson at 804-742-5036 (Article copied from The Advocate.)

Hello everyone, Linda B. has just found out that we cannot save any chats done in the club chat room. We can, however, save them if we go back to using the AOL Messenger (like we used on our previous chat). It works the same way. So.....the question is: If you feel it's important to save the chats and send them out to the List, we need to switch back to the AOL Messenger way. I think everyone has the software needed to do the AOL Messenger chat and if anyone doesn't have it, it's free and easy to set up. If you don't think it's necessary to save the chats, we can continue meeting in the club chat room. Could you let me know privately (bearpaw@alaska.net) or post your response on the club site? Thanks. Whatever the majority wants to do, that'll be the choice for the next one! Peg

Hello everyone, The July 5, 2000 *Caroline Progress* paper has a front page photo of a 300 year-old house that burned up. Arson is suspected. The photo shows it had 2 brick chimneys on both sides and a rounded porch with columns leading into its entry. I'm assuming from the tone of the article the entire structure was lost but I don't know for sure. It's a sad thing to read that we've lost another historic building. Does anyone know the history of this house? All the article said was that it was located in the Caroline Pines subdivision and that firefighters from Hanover and Caroline fought the blaze. According to the property owner's association, the building was vacant but was used as a clubhouse for parties and weddings in the community. I'm just curious about who once lived there. peg
