Hello - Can anyone tell me which cemeteries are located in the "Guinea" area of Caroline? One of the people I'm searching, Benjmain Franklin Mills, Jr. b. 12/5/1857 d. 4/9/1922, is supposed to be buried in that area. Unfortunately, I do not have the name of the cemetery. I'm hoping that if I do find the name, I'll be able to locate other members of the Mills/Carneal/Prince familiy. Thanks to anyone who can help. Julie Walters Westfield Center, OH

Someone passed along this site: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/repehtml/ It has early VA religious petitions. Use the geographic regions to check out the documents for Caroline. There's alot! peg

Hello list! The vital stats book sounds great.. Is anyone willing or able to do a look-up for my one elusive Caroline ancestor- Charles BROWN? I assume he died btwn 1850-1865 since family lore indicates that he died before slavery was abolished in 1865. I assume he was born at least 1820 since my g-grandfather was born 1838 Lynn

Dear Researchers: Since there have been a few inquiries about the new vital statistics book, I thought I would post more detailed information about it. It is available through Heritage Books (http://www.heritagebooks.com). Their phone number is 1-800-398-7709 (9am to 4pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). Here's their description of the book: VIRGINIA Caroline County, Virginia, Bureau of Vital Statistics Death Records, 1853-1896 - Herbert Ridgeway Collins. The "Act for Registration of Deaths, Marriages and Births passed April 11, 1853" required localities to keep birth, marriage and death records. The author has grouped Caroline Co. Death Register records by year. Records are formatted to include: "Name of deceased/race/owner of slave where listed/sex/date of death/place of death if other than Caroline Co./cause of death/age at death/name of parents/occupation if listed/place of birth if listed/name of person reporting death and their relationship to the deceased." Birth and death locations are listed if they occurred outside Caroline Co. Farm and plantation names are included in some entries. An alphabetical list of "Diseases And Causes Of Death," a chronological list of "Commissioners of Revenue For Caroline Co. Appointed To Record Vital Statistics As Reported In The Death Register" and a surname index add to the value of this book. In many cases the author has "consulted other sources, such as marriage records, census records, county histories, family histories and other sources to get a clue as to what the names and dates could be, then returned to the original record." 1999, c189 pp., 8.5x11, new surname index, paper, $33.00, #ZC546 (Pre-Publication price until 30 September 1999--$29.50) I hope this helps. Joann Ellis Humphries

What years does this new book cover? Thanks. Donna

Hi everyone, I got my new Herb Collins book too and Wow, it is really incredible. Like Linda, I struggled over the microfilm from the library too but I see I missed alot of names. I posted 2 new obituaries in the Obit Forum listed under the query section of the Caroline page. One for Haynard L. Brooks, age 81, and one for Kathleen Farmer, age 96. If you go to the site, you'll see my name many, many times so I sure wish if anyone on our List has any family obituaries they could post them. Thanks! Also, has anyone had luck accessing the WWI nurse records available at the LVA website? I'm looking for a cousin who served but I can't seem to find the spot to get the records. Peg

I just received Herb Collins new book that's a transcription of the old death records of Caroline Co. - the very ones that wore my eyeballs out trying to read in the genealogy area of the state library. He has transcribed them all. It's wonderful. Linda

Hi, Linda: I just received my copy of the Vital Statistics book yesterday, too. I couldn't agree with you more--the book is certainly an impressive piece of work. It is well worth the money. Joann Ellis Humphries

Hi Sarah, Nice to meet you and hear about the families you are researching. Would you like me to add your name to the Researcher List for the name Zachry? I checked Herb Collins's 4 books for your Zachry surname and it wasn't listed in any of the books. At least, according to Herb, there's no named Zachry Cemetery. Peg Price

I have been sitting in the background for quite some time now. It's about time I came out and introduced myself. I am Sarah Locklin Taylor. I moved to VA in Feb. 1998. I have been researching my LOCKLIN family, off and on, for 20 plus years. I am interested in expanding any and all of the lines in my tree. This is my lineage, starting with me, that leads me back to Caroline Co., VA: Sarah Janell LOCKLIN Taylor, b. 1958 -- Milam Co., TX, dau. of James Lee LOCKLIN, b. 1921 -- Milam Co., TX, son of Theodore Francis LOCKLIN, b. 1895 -- Milam Co., TX, son of Samuel Griffith LOCKLIN, b. 1855 -- Milam Co., TX, son of Alteman Livingston LOCKLIN, b. 1829 -- Walton Co., GA, son of William Lawson LOCKLIN, b. circa 1806 -- Mason or Columbia Co., GA son of Celia ZACHARY/ZACHRY, b. 1778 -- VA or Richmond Co., GA, dau. of John ZACHARY/ZACHRY, b. 1748 -- St. Thomas Parish, Orange Co., VA, son of James ZACHARY/ZACHRY, b. circa 1730 -- Philadelphia Co., PA, son of John ZACHARY/ZACHRY, b. circa 1705 -- Philadelphia Co., PA, d. circa 1764 -- Caroline Co., VA. Some of my information is conflicting and unproven. I am interested to know more about any ZACHARY/ZACHRY relations, direct or indirect. Also would like to know if anyone knows where John ZACHARY/ZACHRY may be buried in Caroline County. Is there a ZACHARY/ZACHRY Family Cemetery still in existence? If so, I would like to visit and take pictures. Anyone out there related? Appreciate any help sent my way. Thanks! Sarah Sandston, Henrico Co., VA

Julie, Herb Collins's third cemetery book lists Duncan Cemetery: " Located off Long Branch Rd. (rt. 668). Going north, turn off Long Branch Rd. into private road on the west side and continue .8 mile to site. The cemetery is approx. 13 by 5 yards deep with a gate on the right and an oramen6al wire fence on pointed wooden posts. A rod goes around on top of the fence. This cemeteryh for some reason has always been referred to as the "Duncan Cemetery" although there are no marked graves bearing that name. There are also other family sections located in this cemetery, some fenced and some open." In it are buried are Sallie Mills, William Mills, Susie Mills, Virgie Mills, Eliza Ella Surles, James Addison Mills, the grandfather of Earl Chilton. Mollie Carneal, Minnie L. Haynes, Eliza Ruth, James and Eliza Hayden, George Miles Hayden, Jr. are also buried in another section. There are also some Allports, Atkinsons, and Hester Searles. I can give you more information if you'd like. Peg Price

Hello - Can anyone tell me if they've heard of Duncan Graveyard in Caroline County? I don't know if it was part of a Church or not. Looking for Carneal and/or Mills that are buried there. Thanks for your help! Julie Walters Westfield Center, OH

Frank, thanks for pointing out that the second URL is not working. I didn't proofread it as well as I thought I had. Sorry, everyone, here is the link I wanted to share: <http://home.ici.net/~bennabre/genealog.htm>

Hi Caroline listers! My husband is always telling me to "leave it up to the professionals" when it comes to cooking! I'm realizing that can apply to genealogy also -- as well as other things! I understand that my beloved Nanau's family were parishioners at REHOBETH Church for many years. I thought REHOBETH was in Northumberland or Lancaster County and just discovered yesterday the Church is in CAROLINE CO. I was wondering if any of the listers out there know anything about Rehobeth? I would be happy with a mailing address so that I can write to them! I'm assuming there is also a cemetery there? I don't know for a fact that I have ancestors buried there -- but here are some surnames -- PITTMAN, MITCHELL, EDMONDS, HALL, SHUCK, JETER. Thanks in advance for your help! Have a great weekend! (My beloved Nanau was AMY REBECCA PITTMAN, who married THOMAS LESTER REDD in 1917. I am named after my Nanau and of all my ancestors, she is the nearest and dearest to my heart.)

Just wanted to pass along the URL to a good website that may be of interest to some of you. There's so much available that I haven't even begun to explore it all. The site is called "A Barrel of Geneaology Links." See <http://cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/mark.html> On this main page, see item #145 to go to a site with an index of historical maps all over the world. Another webpage with tons of geneaology links is <http://home.ici.net/~bennabre/geneaolg.htm> I keep hoping for a big chunk of time to get going on these sites. Ann Stoddard Oregon

Looking in Wingfield's book, there's a legislative note #6147 dated 16 Dec 1812: "The Trustees of Rappahannock Academy petition for an Act to punish adults for selling intoxicants to the students, and for power to use a part of the capital of the school in furnishing buildings, and for power to appropriate a fund for the enlargement of the library." peg

Found this below on the web. Ruth in NC e-mail: RLugowski@aol.com HISTORICAL PLACES IN CAROLINE COUNTY, VA Rappahannock Academy........On this site stood colonial Mount Church, built around 1750. In 1808 the parish glebe was sold and the proceeds were used to establish a school. The church building was turned into Rappahannock Academy, one of the most noted schools in Virginia. Marker location: 4 miles northeast of Port Royal

Hi all! What does anyone know about Rappahannock Academy--especially during the early 1840's? Are there early records of this school archived anywhere? And does anyone know of a source of information about the school Matthew Campbell had at White Hall from 1845-1860? Mary Jo Fickle

Hi everyone, Believe it or not, there are about 3 new additions to this list. Throw out all the other lists that I sent because this is the newest and most up-to-date. Sorry to be causing confusion on this. I'm keeping this list on my desktop and every time someones writes to ask to be added to the list, I do that and then send out a revised list. I probably won't send out a new list for another month UNLESS I get a lot of requests to be added. In that case, I'll send it out early. To make a long story short, when I send out the list keep it and toss all the others. As always, please check my spelling, etc. and if I made a mistake or you want something changed, just let me know. Thanks, peg PS: I sent the edited chat out but if you don't get it, let me know and I'll send it to you. 6th Revised List of Caroline Surname Researchers Anderson Alyce (WASIKTJ@aol.com) Arnall ANDREWS155@aol.com Ball ANDREWS155@aol.com Banks Mary Jo Fickle ( FICKLE5@aol.com) Barlow Phyllis Solter (pkessel@olywa.net) Beale Bill Thompson ( wgt23@crosslink.net) Bell Bernie (Maraudermn@aol.com ) Billie Jones (bhjones@flash.net) Bernard Edith Fensom (ecfensom@aol Blackley Bruce Haynes (BHaynes@SCB.STATE.VA.US) Bland Bernie (Maraudermn@aol.com) Blasingame Patti (gidget@home.gelsen-net.de) Broaddus Peg Price (bearpaw@alaska.net) Mary B (mbrewer655@aol.com) Ed Broadus (ebroadus@freenet.npiec.on.ca) Brooks Peg Price (bearpaw@alaska.net) Brown Alyce (WASIKTJ@aol.com) Lynn Steward (stewla@webtv.net) Bill Brewer (wwb@ix.netcom.com) Bruce Peg Price (bearpaw@alaska.net) Brunskill Charles L.

Here is the chat record for Aug. 25. No date has been set for the next one.We won't be using AbbottChat anymore since they're now charging. We're exploring other possibilities. Peg Linda: Did everyone read my post about the confederate gravemarkers? Joann: Peg, we were chatting about the courthouse in Bowling Green. Have you ever been there? Anne: Linda - the gov't will provide a marker for any soldier for any war - ARW, Mexican, etc etc Joann: I'm getting Bill's comments. peg_price: Joann, yes. I was there this past April. Joann: The Department of Veterans Affairs does that, but only if the grave has no other marker. Joann: Peg, is it worth the trip? I've heard they don't have a lot of old records. Linda: I have everyone now. Yes, my great grandfather had a little footstone that we put there to replace that metal marker the army put there. Linda: My friend Ollie C. went out last weekend and she and her husband put the stone up. I'm really excited about it and can't wait to see it. peg_price: Yes, the courthouse is absolutely worth the trip. They've got enough old books and records to keep you busy a long time. I would highly, highly recommend a trip there. Joann: Linda, speaking of Ollie, I've never heard from her. Did you get a chance to talk to her about my letter? Linda: I have found out a ton of stuff from that courthouse and everything is completely accessible. Anne: OH! to live in Caroline Co!! Joann: Does anyone know what the hours are at the courthouse? Bill: Does anybody know anything about "Hazelwood" near Port Royal? Linda: Joann, yes I did. She is very, very busy but she promised she would get back. Now that school is starting again, her email is up and running again. Linda: oclarke@caroline.k12.va.us Linda: Peg: Is Hazelwood mentioned in that book I sent you? (booklet) Joann: Thanks, Linda. I'll wait a while longer to give her a chance to get settled, then I'll send her an e-mail. Linda: I believe the hours are 9-5. peg_price: You read my mind, Linda! I'm checking through right this very minute. Anne: Anyone here work on JONES in Caroline? Joann: Barbara Jones Self does, but she's not signed on tonight. Linda: I just received a Samuel file, some Watts, some Andersons, Linda: Ollie Clarke is a Jones and has done a lot of work on the Jones. peg_price: Bill, I just looked through a book of old homes in Caroline and didn't see it. peg_price: Bill, have you checked in the Wingfield book? Joann: I think Barbara has been in touch with Ollie, but I'm not sure. Edith_Fensom: what book is that, Peg? Linda: Anne, send me your snail mail after the chat and I'll send it to Ollie - a phone number too, if you'd like. She would mail you somethiing, I'm sure. Bill: I was just wondering. I don't know if it still exists or is privately owned now, Anne: Linda - I have corresponded with Ollie but not for awhile Linda: I sure wish she could get into this chat room. The researchers in the Historical Society and the savants of the county and we could really pick their brains. Joann: Is Ollie subscribed to the Caroline Co. mail list? Bill: Peg, I not familiar with the Wingfield book. Could you send me sometinhg on it? Linda: She only gets email through her school. I don't know if she is permitted to subscribe. peg_price: I can check the List for her later on. Linda: Bill - you Linda: MUST get the Wingfield book and Rev. Fall's book. By the way, I haven't heard any more about that lately. peg_price: Bill, I'm looking in it right now. Anne: I bot Rev. Falls book - interesting but not much in it Linda: I have a 1952 picture of the graduating class of CHS. Anyone want the surnames? Linda: I guess I got lucky with the families he mentioned or studied. I have marked that book up something awful. Herb Collins' next book is beisng offered for prepublication price now, isn't that right? Bill: The only Fall book I'm familiar with is "Historical Record of Bowling Green Virginia". peg_price: Sorry , Bill. My quick run through doesn't give any info on Hazelwood Linda: Hey, Bill - that's one that i don't have. The one I'm talking about is People, Post Office and Communities of Caroline Co. It's a must (I think) Linda: I know I have heard of Hazelwood. you're sure you're not thinking of Elmwood? peg_price: Is "Historical Record of Bowling Green" available for purchase? peg_price: Hazelwood was in the Turner and Taylor families. Joann: I took at look at the Bowling Green book at the Library of Congress. A lot of history, but not a lot of names. Bill: "Hazelwood was the home of John Taylor of Caroline. He supposed to be buried there. Bill: I don't have "Historical Record of Bowling Green" either, but it's available at the library in Fredericksburg. peg_price: Bill, I take that back. There's quite a spread on John Taylor and I just ran into Hazelwood. It says after he retired from the legislature, he bought a large estate called Hazelwood on the Rappahannock River and devoted all of his time and energies to agriculture. peg_price: That he died at his planatation in 1824 Bill: Peg, that's the same info I have. Just wonder if it's still there? Linda: What book were you looking in, Peg? Wingfield's? peg_price: Wingfield Bill: Peg, check the following web site for a short bio oh Jonh Taylor: http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=T000086 Linda: Bill, In People, Post Offices, and Communiities, Rev. Fall mentions it several times. Linda: I'm looking peg_price: Will do. Joann: I have to cut out a little early tonight. Peg, will you be posting a transcript of the chat on the list? I want to be able to read the part that I will miss. peg_price: Yes, I'll save it and send it out again. Linda: "The elder Pendletons at their deaths in 1877 & 1892 respictively were buried near the grave of John Taylor of Caroline at Hazelwood farm west of town, the farm owned & occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Garrett. Linda: It seems that Harry Beverley also owned Hazelwood at one time. Bill: Linda, does your info say anything about Taylor's children being buried at Hazelwood? peg_price: I wonder if the Historical Society has an updated list on the condition/existence of all of Caroline's famous old homes? Linda: I could ask. I know that that was one of the topics of discussion at the last meeting that I wasn't able to attend. Bill, you should be able to go. They meet at the courthouse, sometimes the library and sometimes, Mr. Collins house. . Linda: Peg, have we added any new surnames to that list you made up? peg_price: yes, 2 new people have added their names and was waiting til the end of the month but I can go ahead and send it out now. Anne: Everytime I got ready to send mine in - Peg had published a new list - are you still compiling or is the list finished? Bill: My email is: wgt23@crosslink.net for whoever wanted the court house look up. Linda: Does anyone know how I can request obituaries that have been archived somewhere in one of the libraries in Richmond, maybe? Linda: Thanks Bill. Linda: In Baltimore, Enoch Pratt Library will search their archives and xerox obituaries for you if you can give the date of death (or pretty good approximation). peg_price: The names have continued to come in. So what I thought of doing was to send out the most recently revised list monthly. That way newcomers could maybe add their names, too. so it's kind of an ongoing project. Linda: If we can't request a death certificate, we could at least read the death notice in the paper. Anyone ever try that for a Richmond paper. Linda: Bill, what surname are you searching? Taylors? peg_price: Don'y forget that we can add to Caroline's obituaries by posting them with GenConnect. Bill: The names I'm looking for in Caroline County are: GLASSELL BEALE PENN TAYLOR WICKHAM Linda: Yes, but I would like to access death notices in Richmond. I think that a good number of the people I'm looking for moved to Richmond because life was not promising or at least too hard for them on their small farms. peg_price: Anne, are you going to send in some surnames? Linda: Bill: Anne: YUP! Peg - do I send them to you? Linda: I have just been corresponding with a gentleman named after Doctor Glassell. peg_price: You could list them right here if you'd like and I'll copy them and add them to the list on my desktop. Anne: Connor/Conner Anne: Marshall, Durrett, Woolfolk, Jones, Minor, Thomas, Redd, Williams, Dunkin, peg_price: 'I can't type tonight. Richard's website is off line now? Linda: I just got finished corresponding with a gentleman named after Dr. Glassel - he is a Whittaker and Martin Anne: You mean Richard Lunht? He was killed in a car wreck Bill: Linda, one of my ancestors was a Dr. Robert Glassell of Bowling Green. But he died abt. 1914. peg_price: I'd received a note saying he'd been killed. That was so tragic. Anne: Yes, he was a much decorated police officer peg_price: someone wrote to say they couldn't open his site anymore so it must have been removed. He had a lot of wonderful information there. Linda: This gentleman is Glassell Parker. He said he was named after the Doctor. I just saw something in Fall's book about Dr. glassell Anne: Peg- it was 99% my database if anyone wants anything peg_price: Anne, I got your surnames copied. Thanks. peg_price: Oh, I didn't know it was mostly yours. I knew you'd done alot of work. Well, are you going to keep it online? Linda: I just wonder if my "Lassel Farmer" is a mis-transcription of the name Glassel?
