I have posted an article on my website "Early Virginia Meachams": http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wmeacham/ entitled "A Chronicle of Meachams in Caroline County." This is a compilation of all references to Meachams that I could discover in early Caroline County. Other surnames mentioned often in association with Meacham are Crutchfield, Mason, Isbell, and West. If anyone knows of any other 18th century reference to a Meacham/Mitcham/Mecham etc. please let me know. William Meacham, Centre of Asian Studies, University of Hong Kong.

HI Everyone, This note is from Tim Pierce. I have already tried to hook us up so we're connected. Time will tell if I did it correctly. Here's part of Tim's note: "Hi, folks -- You asked for it -- here it is! GenConnect boards can now be "gatewayed" to mailing lists. When a board is gatewayed to a mailing list, every message posted to the GenConnect board will be forwarded to the corresponding mailing list. The message sent to the list will contain the URL of the specific post to allow the list subscribers to respond directly to the message. In this manner, gatewaying will enable more effective communication between the mailing lists and the GC boards." If anyone has a strong objection to this, let me know. We can sure disconnect from it and be like the "old days." Peg

I am willing to do LIMITED lookups for people in the following: I am not a typist at all and so I ask only 1 name per lookup, that is first and last name.

I have Vol. II of Pamunkey Neighbors, which includes the following surnames: MILLS, MINOR, MONTAGUE, QUISENBERRY, RODES, SMITH, STEVENS, STUBBLEFIELD, TANDY, THOMAS, THOMPSON aka THOMSON, VIVION families. Not all of the information is entirely accurate, however. But it is a pretty good starting point. ~Virginia In a message dated 3/29/00 2:55:10 PM, CMW12635@aol.com writes: <<Do any subscribers have access to the abstracts of Caroline Co., VA records (especially court orders) done by Sam and Ruth Sparacio?

Hello everyone, Charlie Lawing is writing a paper and has a website for the Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter family of Caroline. Thought I'd pass this information on about their interracial marriage and how the Supreme Court ruled Virginia's 1924 law was unconstitutional: http://www.caro.net/clawing/harvard.htm An excellent movie is available also called "Mr. and Mrs. Loving," partly filmed in Caroline County. Charlie's email address is on his website. peg

Hello, I am researching the SHEPHERD surname in Caroline, Bowling Green specifically. I have managed to go as far back as 1869 December 30. That is the marriage date of Cornelius SHEPHERD (son of Samuel and Nelly SHEPHERD) to Joice (Georgianna) KAY (daughter of Abraham and Nelly Kay). Cornelius and Joice went on to have 14 children: Mary S. b. abt.1868 m. Jno. ROBINSON (son of Lucy ROBINSON) Jan 23. 1896 Laura b. abt.1873 m. Joe JOHNSON (son of Hiram & Mary Ellen JOHNSON) Dec.10 1913 Charles b. abt.1874 m. Cora Lee SAYLE (dau of Jno. & Harriet SAYLE) Oct 7. 1903 Emma b. abt.1877 Robert Allen b. abt 1878 m. Lucy Jane REYNOLDS (dau. of Simon & Ann REYNOLDS) 1899 Lee Grant b. July 1879 Cornelius b. April 1884 Effie b. May 1885 Lucy b. November 1887 Ellen b. April 1891 Wilson b. May 1892 Mattie b. April 1895 married (? TRUITT) died December 1998 Catherine b. April 1895 Joe b. January 1897 Cornelius may also have had a brother Joseph who was married to Lucy Ann: their children's names include: Letitia b. abt 1872 m. Anthony PENDLETON (son of John & Hannah PENDLETON) May 13,1909 Fannie b.abt. 1875 m. Gustavas FRIES (son of J.L.Thomas & Sarah FRIES) 1894 Virginia m.

Joseph ARMSTEAD (son of Hyter & Harriet ARMSTEAD) Dec. 11 1910 Does any one have access to Caroline Co. Census 1870 ? I would like to request a look up of Samuel SHEPHERD Bowling Green page 227. I have ordered WFT vol. 19 and FTM's census index for 1870. as soon as I receive these CD's I will be glad to do look ups. In the interim, I have page 17 & 18 of the Caroline County marriage register on my website (http://www2.50megs.com/bonjurbaby). It has dates 1869 and 1870. Someday soon I hope to transcribe all of the marriage records I've collected from Fredericksburg, Caroline and Spotsylvania and get them online too. Until then, I will be glad to search my notes and such for anyone. please email any requests to me directly at neferneferuamon@aol.com. Best wishes to all, Denise Harley
