Perhaps someone knows who they are! There is a ""loner"" Stanley, he is buried alone, not with other family members, his name was GLOURIS STANLEY, b. Aug. 08, 1913~~~D. Sept 17, 1957? Any Clue? The next one we found was a Quite Old Tombstone, STANLEY, on the top, Buried next to James Harding Stanley..... only letters on the stone are "I E S" Does anyone know what this means? Your efforts are sincerely appreciated. Sincerely, s.Stanley McBride

Does anyone know when the Gray-Campbell Inn in Milford was operating... when it was added onto - and when it became an antique shop, etc. (there is a picture of it in Mary Haley's Caroline County Pictorial History) --and who the Gray and Campbell were?

Marie, You should be able to find the WPA records at the Library. I know that the Rappahannock Reginal Library in Fredericksburg, Va. has the Historical Inventory and Writer's program. Frank Pyle

These books are for sale at the Library of VA in Richmond. I believe I remember seeing a book on graves moved from Fort Hill to Greenlawn Cemetery in the Caroline Co Library.

Hello This is for the Price researcher, I accidently deleted the email. Anyways a Cousin of mine sent this copy of a letter written in 1840 to a Cousin in Green Co. Ky. The letter and others from the Estate of Mary Matt Smith-Williams were sold and the buyer will not respond to requests in getting copies of the letters. We do have this one and we are not sure how it relates to our William/Smith/White family. The Smith family did come from Caroline Co. Va. This may give you some clues as to where some of the family went to after Green Co., Ky, also I believe the writer of the letter was a Price.

Howdy All: There was one and possibly two individuals named Thomas Bland living in Caroline Co., VA between 1800 and 1863. These are finding of facts on Thomas Bland. 1. Military Service Records show that a Corporal Thomas Bland of Caroline Co, VA. served in the War of 1812. He enlisted for Military Service at Eagle's Nest in Caroline Co., VA. Eagle's Nest was the estate of Col. Phillip Surry and was located just below Port Royal, VA. on a hill overlooking the Rappahannock River. He served in the 30th Reingment (Tankersley's) Virginia Militia. 2. Marriage Records show that Thomas Bland (age 64 years) married Martha Bowler (age 14years) on November 10, 1847 in Caroline Co., VA. 3. In the Virginia Census of 1860 it lists Thomas Bland ( age 77) and Martha Bowler (age 27) living in Caroline Co., VA with their 3 children: Mary (11), John (10), and Josiah (2). 4. Martha Bowler applied for and received a pension of $8.00 per month for Thomas Bland's Service in the War of 1812. She passed away at Rappahannock Academy, VA. on May 16, 1906. 5. A Guaridian Bond was issued on Dec 14, 1813 to Geroge Marshall in the amount of $2000.00 for the orphan children (Mary, John S. Josiah and Catherine) of Thomas Bland deceased. 6. The names of the children for both Thomas Blands are exactly the same and in the same order of birth. Interesting isn't it. Now my question is can anyone tell me anything about the Thomas Bland who married Martha Bowler in 1847 or about the Thomas Bland who was supposedly deceased in 1813? By chance were these the same individual and the children were declared orphaned because he was away from home in the War of 1812. Anything that anyone can tell me about this individual that will help me break my road block will be greatly appreciated. Regards and God Bless, Bernie in Northern, Virginia
