I would be interested to know what sources are available for Caroline County prior to 1780. So far, I have found only the following: -- wills: from 1732 -- court order record books: from 1732 -- surveyor's book of 1729-1762 Specifically, are there: -- any extant church records, such as vestry books or list of tithables? -- any voters or landowners lists? -- any catalogue of gravestone inscriptions that might have births prior to 1780? -- any business documents Anything else?

I just confirmed that I descend from William Kidd who lived and died in Caroline Co, VA. He died in 1802. I was in VA last week and drove the road that he supposedly lived on which adjournes Beverly Run. Is there any one also researching this family. I descend from James Kidd, son of William and Mary Halbert Kidd. I also have a question about the list from the "Upper King & Queen Co Baptist Church", so if there is anyone that understands that list, I would greatly appreciate the help. Have a nice holiday.

If anyone knows about the Caroline book that Mark asked about, could you drop a note to the list? Thanks, peg price

Hi Frank, Herb Collins's book lists Round Oak as being off Rt. 2 at Corbin Post Office. Established ca. 1840. There are 141 Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery but none bear inscriptions. Lots of SALES buried here also. If you'd like a lookup, I'd be glad to do that for you. peg

Hello everyone, I've just been told I have the wrong street address for the Caroline Library on the webpage. Does anyone know off-hand what it might be? Otherwise, I can try to find it in the Yellow Pages. Thanks, peg

Hi Folks, Does anyone on this list know where the Round Oak Church near "Santee" in Carolne Co. is? And if there is a cemetery near the Church? Frank Pyle

X-Mailer: Tim Seawolf-Self's registered AK-Mail 3.0b sppb1 [eng] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: tim@route66autoclub.com In 1941, the United States Government bought more than 298 acres of my grandfather's old home place, <near Bagby post offoce> which is now Fort A.P.Hill. As they watched the military jeeps and trucks passing by their home, they knew pretty soon they would have to live somewhere else. JOHN W TUCKER <my g-grandfather> purchased 298 acres from Frank Richerson's "Butler Plantation" in Caroline County. The house was built in 1820 by Edmerend Pendleton who also built "Edmonsbury" and "White Plains" near Sparta, Va. Later, my grandparents <JOHN HENRY TUCKER and FLORENCE ELLEN SELPH> purchased this property from John Henry's father, and more property adjoining this. They raised 8 children there... GLADYS ANNIE ... LEWIS WILLIAM ... RUTH MAE ... JOHN HENRY, JR ... RANDOLPH ... MILTOJN LEE ... CLARENCE THOMAS and HERBERT F. John Henry Tucker, born and raised in Caroline County, Va,, built the first "sweet potato houses" {1912}. Other farmers, as far away as Culpepper, Va., used these houses. Sweet potato's were stored and cured in these houses for aproximately 6 weeks. Stoves were used to keep a temperature of 70 degrees before they were then shipped to Wahington, D.C. where they were later shipped to the Safeway Grocery Stores. The Tucker family raised about 2,000 bushels of sweet potatoes every year. John Henry Tucker would hire 12-15 men for two weeks every year, to help dig sweet potatoes. His wife <Florence Ellen Selph> prepared and served three meals a day for the workers. During the winter, in the deep snows, is when the sweet potatoes would sell the best. Crops of tobacco, cucumbers and corn were also raised in large quantities. The Tucker's had four horses they used in the early years for farming of the land. It was only in the later years that they got tractors to do the work. Corn and wheat was taken to COOK'S MILL to be ground. I remember my mother <Gladys Annie Tucker> talking about what a treat it was to trade a few eggs for a bag of candy at an old store near the mill.. The old mill is still standing... The 8 Tucker children had to walk about 2 miles to catch the bus to Sparta school. The first car John Henry bought was a 4 door, 1935 chevrolet, which he bought for $999.00 from Blatt Chevrolet in Milford. That was alot of money then and he paid for it in cash. John Henry and Florence Ellen were good, honest people. Often John Henry would say, "my word is my bond", and alot of business deals were made with just a handshake. The Tucker's had alot of friends in Caroline County, and if anyone ever needed some help, everyone would pitch. I can magine how they felt while watching military jeeps and trucks passing by, for they knew it was the beginning of the government buying their land that they were so proud of and had worked so hard on... Now... they'd have to live somewhere else!!! HENRY SELF and FANNY JERDEN had 4 CHILDREN: 1> FLORENCE ELLEN SELPH {1889} married JOHN HENRY TUCKER {1893} <son of John W. Tucker> and they had 8 children: Gladys Annie Tucker <1915> =2E.. Lewis William Tucker {1917} ... Ruth Mae Tucker {1920} ... John Henry Tucker, Jr. {1922} ... Milton Lee {1926} ... Randolph Tucker {1928} ... Clarence Thomas {1930} ... Herbert Franklin {1933} 2> ZEILA SELPH married twice. 1st was CLAYTOR and they had a son John B. Claytor, Sr. <Richmond, Va> Her second was Perry R. Pugh <Fredericksburg, Va> and they had 2 daugters. Bertha Garwood and Dorothy Sullivan. 3> WILBERT SELPH married LOUISE RICHMOND and their children were Frank =2E.. William ... Caddler ... Clarena. 4> ADA SELPH married a CHENAULT and they had a son Lou. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ --WebTV-Mail-27996-5897-- --WebTV-Mail-7915-3571--

Hi, Betty Jean: I am particular interested in your research on Sarah Crutcher and I'm wondering if we have a connection. My 4th great-grandmother was Sarah Crutcher. She married Richard Sale, Sr. (b. abt. 1742 - d. 1825). Both lived and died in Caroline County. I believe her parents were Thomas Crutcher, Sr. and Sarah Foster. I descend from Richard and Sarah's son, Spilsbe J. Sale (b. May 1, 1799 - d. November 18, 1871) who married Delilah Haynes (d. 1871). Do you have any further information on this family?
