Thanks to Sandra for sending this note concerning photos of Port Conway in King George Co. ">Be sure to tell your "chatters" that there are early photographs of Port >>Conway on the VA Photo site.....they should be interested. My family >>members had the original charter , along with business partners, to >>establish a city Called Port Conway, and sold the original lots. I've never >>been there, though!" The VaPhoto site link is the same link to get to the Caroline photos and the link is found on the homepage. Just go look in King George Co. >

Linda: AbbottChat session initiated Linda: Does anyone have any new Linda: nuggets or treasures to share? Andy: I got the Rev. Fall book. peg_price: I got the Smithers suicide story from my mom. Linda: Andy, did you like it? Andy: yes, it is very interesting reading. Anne: Andy - does it have any Woolfolks? Joann: Which one of Rev. Fall's books did you buy, Andy? Andy: It probably does but I'll have to check. Andy: The Rose Diary Linda: How was the Rose Diary? Joann: I bought that one, as well as the "Post Offices and Communities" book. Both are great, but I think the Pos Office book has more genealogical data in it. Linda: Don't forget, all. Rev. Fall's book on Port Royal, "The Hidden Village" will be reprinted and availabe later this year, I believe. peg_price: She said John Smithers owned a store from which everyone would buy their supplies and come and sit and visit. He loved everyone and after his wife died, he was pretty lonely. When the government moved everyone away, he was so despondent about not having that closeness and fellowship of people visiting his store, he committed suicide. Mom said that of the 3500 families that lived in the area, many of them were related and that made it even harder when they were forced to break up and relocated. Anne: What period of time for this suicide Peg? Linda: Peg, where was the store exactly? peg_price: It seems like it was 1941 or 42 from the way she talked. She also said she remembers walking the 2.5 miles to his store many a time in order to get something for her mother....like thread, soap, baking powder, or baking soda. Linda: Peg, It was my understanding from my cousin Virginia durrett's history that there were 500 families displaced over 35,000 acres. Andy: Anne, it has reference to Woolfolk's Stage Line, Jourdan and John George. Anne: Thanks Andy - know who all those folks are peg_price: I'm must be wrong. Could it have been a total of 3500 people? Joann: Linda, did your cousin write a book? Linda: My cousin is a former history teacher and genealogist from Spotsylvania and wrote a personal history of the Wrights and Naulakla. They were published for family and for the society, not in a book form for sale. Linda: Did everyone who was interested received the info from the Liberty Bapttist church reunion? Andy: yes, thank you Linda. Joann: Lind: Wonder if Hannah Wright who married Thomas Haynes in the mid-1800s is listed in your cousin's documentation. peg_price: I mentioned this in the List mailing, but Mom says she'd be happy to field any questions we might have about life there. She was born in Delos and lived there from 1921 to 1940, just before everyone left. Linda: Peg, whereabouts did your mother live. All my relatives were in the Brandywine area closer to Enon baptist and Rt. 17. Linda: Joann: The name Hannah doesn't ring a bell, I'll have to check it out. Edith_Fensom: Were there any Garnetts in the Liberty Baptist church reunion? peg_price: Boy, I don't know how to describe the area, Linda. I'd have to ask Ken Clark for that. Anne: Does anyone know a researcher for hire who works in Caroline Co? Linda: Is Delos considered impact area? If you take a tour, can you get out and walk around there? peg_price: Edith, I believe I've got some Garnett info from Ed Broadus. Maybe I should send that to you. peg_price: No, her old homeplace is an impact area and no one can walk back into the woods. Linda: Edith: do you belong to the Garnett list? that's pretty active and informative although it seems my Garnetts were from Essex. Linda: I got a note from Ed Broadus that he sent his book out. I'll let you know. Linda: Peg, by the way, your pictures are great. You had perfect picture taking weather. Edith_Fensom: Yes, I'm on the Garnett list. I'm looking for Henry Garnett. I think he was originally from Essex and his parents were probably Robert and Lucy. Linda: My Garnetts were Joseph Walker Garnett, son of Emily Loving and Walker Garnett.. peg_price: Did you all see the great photo of Upper Zion Church in the gallery? Edith_Fensom: I'm not familiar with them but I'm just getting started on the Garnett line. Linda: You mean that wonderful professionally scanned picture that Andy sent? Joann: Andy's photo was GREAT, wasn't it? Andy: Thanks , it did come out pretty well. peg_price: Fabulous!! Linda: It was better than the one used on the brochure. maybe we should give it to Pastor Bullock for the next issue. Andy: The 3.2MB file shows all the fibers in the old postcard. peg_price: Linda, I just added the information on Upper Zion Church to the web page and am working on putting it on the page. Thanks again for sending that to me. Mom didn't have any of it so I sent her copies too. Linda: Could we gather our resources together and share what books we have and are using? Joann: I just purchased both of Rev. Fall's books -- "Post Offices and Communities" and "The Rose Diary." Both are great, but I think the Post Office book has more genealogical information in it. Linda: I have Wingfield's, Campbell's, Fall's (3 books), Herb Collins (4 books), peg_price: I have Herb Collins's cemetery books, Rev. Fall Barbara: I also just bought People, Postoffices and Communities by Fall. Looks great! Anne: Good idea, Linda - I have all Dormans order books, Sparcio Caroline Books, 1850 census , the 3 cemetery books by Collins, Wingfield, Campbell & mor Joann: Does anyone belong to the Caroline County Historical Society? Do they publish any books? Are their newsletters worthwhile? peg_price: Rev. Fall's Post Offices book, and the 2 Caroline history books. Linda: The Fall book becomes more and more useful the families I add. I've been emailing a gentleman in California who lived in Brandywine as a child and some of his relatives (Pitts) are mentioned in it. Linda: I do peg_price: I used to belong but it's not real active, it seems. Andy: i have all Order Books up through 1787. peg_price: They don't put out a booklet or anything that I'm aware of. Linda? Anne: The 'bible" of all Caroline Co books is "Caroline Court Orders & Records & Marriages 1797-1810 by Wm Hopkins Joann: Anne: Where did you buy the "bible?" Linda: I have never received info - I take that back. I belong to the Genealogical society which is active in the area and had a meeting last week in the courthouse. The regular speakers are native historians from the area. I'd give one of my front teeth to be there. Andy: The best Caroline reference is Campbell's book. Joann: I didn't know Caroline County had a genealogical society AND a historical society. Anne: Yes, it is in print and sold various places Edith_Fensom: I just bought Campbell's book a few weeks ago. peg_price: What genealogical society? That's different from the historical society? Linda: I also have the print out of the marriage bonds that was redone by Therese Fischer. I have the original reprinted by Higginson. Anne: Campbell is a much flawed book but still a decent history Linda: Yes, the gen soc. is not the same. Jean Broaddus, Herb Collins, and other experts are involved in trying to preserve the history, houses and family histories. peg_price: Linda, is the Port Royal Historical group active? I just joined last week. Joann: Linda, could you get us some information on membership with the genealogical society? Anne: While general Va - this is also a great reference for Caroline - Va REv. War Land Claims 1783-1850 - also by Wm Hoplins Andy: The present Clerk of the County court told me that the Historical Society was basically a group of ladies who like to gather and hear stories of old Caroline, not so much genealogy. Linda: My cousin has done a book on Naulakla, one on the Wrights, and a rendition of the mariage records of about 200 couples married by Rev. Marshall. She called it the Anne: Who was the Rev. Marshall? Linda: "Marshall Legacy". It is beautifully done. Anne: Was he Mungo Marshall? Linda: Rev. James (I think) Marshall was a Baptist minister assigned to the area churches and was at Enon, Bethlehem and Salem, I believed. He kept a little book as a record of the couple he married. Someone found it on a shelf in their basment. Edith_Fensom: The Caroline Co. Genealogical Society's address is P.O. Box 9, Bowling Green, VA 22427 Joann: Thanks, Edith. Do you know how much the membership dues are? Linda: If we all showed more interest in the society, maybe we could encourage a newletter or mailing of sorts. I think now it's just a small group that meets informally. Joann: Which society, Linda? Linda: The genealogy society Joann: Does the historical society have a newsletter? peg_price: I can post it on the webpage. Edith, could you post a note about it and mail it out to the List so everyone knows about it? Linda: I was in Caroline last week and tried desperately to make the meeting. I thought it was at Herb Collins homeplace, a magnificent colonial home called Edith_Fensom: I don't think they are very expensive. I saw them listed on a facts about Caroline Co. web site but don't remember the amount. The address came out of Everton's HandyBook. Linda: Green Falls - on the historical register. They met in the courthouse instead and the topic was preserving an old home slated for demolition, I believe. Edith_Fensom: I'll look the website up and post to the list. peg_price: Boy, wouldn't it be great if we had a transcript of that meeting??? Andy: Speaking of Bowling Green, I heard on another list this week that Salvador Dali lived in B.G. for a while in the 1960s, anyone know for sure? Linda: I can find out. I visited Mrs. Broaddus. Sometimes they meet in her house. My good friends who research are also member. Linda: I was sick that I missed it. So near and yet so far. I've even suggested that we do a conference call next time they meet with a speak phone. Linda: You know, I think I heard that about Salvador Dali. I can' t imagine where I saw it now. Linda: Jean and Woodford Broaddus up on the Mattaponi Trail. Jean gave me a history of the Broaddus family last time I was there. Andy: It would be nice to attend some of those meetings. I wish I didn't live 500 miles away. I should have gotten interested in genealogy when I lived in Richmond. Linda: I'm three hous drive and it seems like it's the other side of the world. Linda: Well, howabout some surnames. Andy: Yes, the Salvador Dali news took me by surprise too. I lived in Richmond at the time, but don't remember anything about it. Edith_Fensom: Linda, How often and when do they meet? I live in Hanover Co. just south of Caroline. Maybe I could go sometime. Andy: Anyone related to Evans? Linda: I'm not sure the meetings are posted in the paper but if they are, they would be in the Caroline Progress. I get the paper and that's how I know ab out events going on. Joann: Edith: Bruce Haynes (who I was hoping would be able to join us tonight) lives in Hanover County, too. I mentioned during our last chat session that he is very knowledgable about A.P. Hill's history. Linda: We have to get Bruce next time. Linda: I don't know about any Evans families/ Andy: I'll see your Evans and raise you an Elkins. Edith_Fensom: I'll have to ask my daughter. She just moved to Caroline and I think she gets the paper. I don't think I know Bruce. Joann: I'm researching the following families: Sale, Thomas, Long, Martin, Haynes, Crutcher, Toombs, Wright and Goode. Linda: Joann: give me a few more Wrights to hang on. My g grandfather had a store a Brandywine. Andy: Joann, I tie in with the Longs. I believe to Henry Long. Anne: Connor, Marshall, Durrett, Woolfolk, Jones. Redd, Williams, Minor, Thomas and more Linda: Joann: I met a Sale descendant walking around in Greenlawn on the 18th. She had just come from a wedding, I believe and was just looking for Sale markers. She ran up to Mr. Grinde's and bought 3 Rev. Fall's books. Joann: My great-grandmother was Annie Long, who married Robert Jasper Thomas. Her father was Cornelius Long. Also Robert's mother was a Long -- Mary I. Long. Andy: Farguson, Pittman, Arnall/Arnold peg_price: Andy, what is the name of your Farguson? Joann: My only Wright connection so far is Hannah Wright who married Thomas Haynes in the mid-1800s. Linda: Joann: I'm gong to look in my Long (Longest). I have a few I believ.e Joann: Linda--Boy, do I wish you had gotten that lady's name. Andy: Henry Long died 1700s in King George. His daughter, Martha married John Wharton whose line (probably) married into my Pittman line. Linda: Fear not. I not only have her address but her phone nu m ber! Joann: Thanks, Linda. I've been at a brick wall on the Longs for a long time. Linda: I'll check with Ollie Clark. She has some Longs. Barbara: Self, Sale, Eubank and Timberlake (probably Spotsylvania County) Andy: Peg, Mary Farguson of King George married Thomas Pittman and they moved to Caroline. Her father was Joshua. Joann: I believe I've mentioned before that I've written to Ollie, but didn't get an answer. I would really appreciate any help she could give me. Linda: No kidding. I leave nothing to chance when it comes to genealogy. I just walked in from a 2 hour interview of a 79 year old resident of my husbands neigborhood. Andy: Peg, Mary died in 1796. Anne: Peg - Andys Fargusons go back to John & Ann Stubbleson Farguson - same as yours and mine Andy: Anne, Yes. peg_price: John and Sarah Farguson were my 8 ggrandparents. I've got more. Have we talked? Linda: I'm not home right now. but as soon as I can, I'll email her name and address. Joann: Linda, will you send me her address when you get a chance? Andy: Peg, no I haven't talked with you on this. Andy: Peg, who was John's father? peg_price: Andy, when this is over, I'll dig through my records and send you what I have. Andy: Peg, thanks that would be great. Andy: The Fargusons were big on "J" names for males. Anne: I don't think anyone knows who the parents of the 1st John Farguson was/were Anne: Andy don't forget they did have a Samuel Anne: Andy - they were big on old testament names - lots of "J"s Linda: Does everyone have the obituary book of all the listing of the Caroline Progress from 1919 on...? Anne: I just wish it was indexed such as maiden names Linda: I wonder if the Storke funeral home would just let you go through their records. peg_price: Does Herb have assistants who help gather up these death records or does he do it alone? peg_price: I wrote the Storke Home once for information and I got no response. Andy: Here is a name I am sure everyone can tie into: Taliaferro (as in the "terrible" Taliaferros). Linda: He does it alone from what I gather. He gathered info about all the cemeteries by just going and investigating the places people told him about. Edith_Fensom: Can anyone tell me where to get a map of Caroline Co. before A.P. Hill? Joann: I've certainly heard the name, Andy, but haven't found a connection to them yet. What made the Taliaferros so "terrible?" Andy: Linda, Storke was very helpful in going out to Greenlawn with me and helping to locate my gg-grandfather's buried headstone. I'm sure they would be very helpful. Linda: boy, Andy. Could I tell you a neat story about my most recent adventure with a Tolliver descendant. I'll have to write it out. It was one of those genealogy golden nuggets of discovery. Joann: Does Storke have the "official" records for Greenlawn or does the cemetery have its own office. Andy: Joann, they are very difficult to unwind, there were many in all count records with the same names eg. Robert. Linda: I would just like to get a detailed map of Caroline now. I still don't have one. I saw a clerk in the post office using one when we were going to Herb collins' house. but it was the only one he had. There are lots of pre-AP Hill maps. Andy: Storke has the "official" records of who is buried where. Anne: Andy - did you ever take the e-mail Talliaferro Times - it was great information peg_price: Andy, do they share that with the public? Andy: Anne, yes, but it never came. I think it went defunct about that time. Andy: Peg, yes, they were very helpful. Anne: Andy - all those issues are stored somewhere on the internet - will try to find the URL and send to you Barbara: Doesn't the State Highway Dept. put out maps of each county? Edith_Fensom: Linda, Have you tried one of the county maps that I think you can get from VDOT? (VA Dept. of Transportation)? I think the public library near me has a book of them and that you can get them for individual counties. I'll have to check the library. Edith_Fensom: That's VDOT old name. Linda: Anne: I'd like that Taliaferro Times Joann: Where can I get a pre-AP Hill map? peg_price: Linda, doens't Ken Clark have maps of AP Hill? Edith_Fensom: VDOT is online. I'm not sure of the address. Anne: I ordered (all for under $10) a huge box of maps for all over Va and several were of Caroline - from the Va. Dept of Transportation Linda: Yes, but they're of the fort - he probably has some old one too. Andy: Best map of Caroline is the Delorme Topo. You can order it online now. Anne: Linda - Commonwealth of Virginia; Dept of Highways & Transportation, 1221 East Broadway, Richmond Va. 23219 Andy: Peg, it is the VA map book available online at http://mapstore.delorme.com/bottom.htm Linda: would anyone be interested in a hand drawn map of Caroline done from memory of a former resident naming all the area residents, farms, streams, etc. It's pretty specific to my area.

Hi folks, I just discovered 2 books on Caroline Co. Didn't know if everyone knew about them or not but, one is book on Marriage bonds 1787 -1852. The other is a History of Caroline County 1727 -1924 The pricing was $22 for the first one and $45 for the other at Higginson Book Co. http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ If anyone is interested. You all probably already have them. Has anyone heard of the book "The Confederate Soldier in the Civil War" Edited by Ben LaBree Published by The Prentice Press in Louisville, KY. 1897 ? Frank Pyle

Hi everyone, A request was made for me to make available the photos my mom and I took while tooling through Caroline recently. I have been scanning them and placing them in the Caroline Photo Gallery (I put a link to it on the Caroline homepage). The site is http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/photo/ and from there you can see them. I'm still working on them and plan to send a couple more to Linda today! I might add I just looked in the gallery and someone has submitted a fabulous photograph of Upper Zion Church taken in the 1800's! For the chat Thursday night: Linda Butt at lindaleebutt@worldnet.att.net will be the host of the talk, which again will focus on A.P. Hill since we didn't get to fully explore that topic. Here's the deal: In order for us all to wind up in Linda's chat box (since she's the host) we need to get online at the appointed hour (10:00 Eastern Time) and wait til Linda calls us to join her for a chat. At that time, say "Yes" (Don't use the private button!) and you will wind up in her room. Don't call anyone else to chat and don't call Linda to chat. Let her initiate the invitations. According to the chat rules, (if I understand them correctly) this should work and by her inviting us only we should all wound up in the same room. Be sure Linda has your address. You might want to email her privately to doublecheck. Good luck to All!! I also talked with my mother yesterday about this upcoming chat. She was born and raised in Delos, graduated from Mica High School there, and lived in the A.P.Hill area with her family from 1921-1940. She can't join us "Live" but said if anyone has any questions she'd be more than happy to answer them. What I'll do is gather those questions up, call her after the chat, and get the answers and then post them to the List. She also retold the story of John Smithers who owned the Smithers Store. I'll share that with the group on Thursday. Thanks, Linda, for being our moderator again and host! See everyone on Thursday. Peg

There have been a couple requests for the chat from last week. It should have been archived but I still don't see it there. By the way, I put a link on the Caroline page to the archives of our List so that anyone can read our messages.It is located at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/VACAROLI-L/ peg ******Conversation begins on: 06/17/99 at: 22:38:21 Joann: Hi Linda at 12.77.93.80! AbbottChat session initiated Linda: Does everyone know Herb Collins? Andy: I'm in atlanta. Does anyone want to meet at A. P. Hill for a tour with the base historian? I will be in VA Aug 1-14 . Linda: If that tour were possible, it would be wonderful. Ken Clark is pretty thorough. Andy: Linda, you have been there before, right? Linda: I will be visiting a 77 year old former Caroline resident who lives in Indiana. Joann: My distant cousin, Bruce Haynes, who is also a member of this list, but couldn't join us tonight, is an expert on AP Hill history. Joann: Maybe he could join us for the tour. Linda: Yes, I have been to A.P. on Tour 3 times. Twice to Brandywine and once into the impact area on an army bus and all sorts of restrictions. Andy: I just found out where my Pittmans land was on the base. peg_price: I took the tour in april Joann: How was it, Peg? Linda: Does Bruce Haynes have email? peg_price: Found where the Trices lived Bill: Does anyone know if the site that Daniel's Mill (or White's Mill) was is on the base? peg_price: wonderful. went with my 78 yr. old mom, my brother, and my mom's brother. Linda: Don't tell anyone but I found a brick from my gr grandfather's store in Brandywine. Joann: When Bruce and I went there (not for the formal tour), he showed me where my Sales and Thomases lived. Joann: Yes, Bruce has e-mail, but I'll have to look it up for you. Linda: I'd love to have it. It may benefit us all if he'd be willing to share. Linda: Bill, I have a picture of a road sign pointing to Daniels Corner - the impact area. Bill: That would fit, Linda...must be my family! Joann: I know he'd be happy to share. He's retired Army Reserve and served on and off at A.P. Hill. He's very knowledgable about all history, especially the Civil War. peg_price: did Ken Clark tell you the story of the man who commited suicide at his corner store? Joann: No. Andy: I have an old picture (1800s) of Upper Zion Baptist Church if anyone is interested, I will get it scanned and e-mail it. peg_price:. I can't recall the name of the store but he apparently did it rather than be moved off his land in 1941. peg_price: andy, please send it to Linda Lewis. I've got her email and she can put it in the Caroline photo gallery. Linda: I have all the literature they handed out at the 225th anniversary of Upper Zion Church last week a the reunion at Liberty. Andy: I will try to get a copy to everyone interested. When I tried to scan it in my home scanner, I almost destroyed it. peg_price: My mom rode all over the county with me and we took pictures of every old building and church we saw. Linda: Anyone ever been to the Liberty reunion? Bill: Has anyone here ever heard about the book, "Forks of the Elk Horn Church?" Joann: Too bad you didn't get a picture of Round Oak Baptist Church cemetery. That's where most of my relatives are buried. . Anne: I own a copy of The Forks of Elkhorn Church - what do you need Linda: Where is round Oak Baptist - on A.P. HIll? peg_price: I may have something on that church, joann. I've got lots more pictures to give her. Bill: Do you know, Anne, where the church that packed up and moved from Caroline County to Kentucky was? As I understand it, almost the entire congregation went. Bill: I have the book almost entirely photocopied... Joann: Round Oak is in Corbin, VA. I'd love a picture, Peg. Bill: It has a lot on Caroline families, Peg, but I think it's out of print. Anne: Bill - absolutely I know - I am a true child of the "Traveling Church" - some 600 people left Caroline & Spotsylvania Va in Sept of 1781 for Ky Joann: I just ordered a copy of the two books posted to the list earlier this week. They sound great. Andy: Bill, I beleive the Traveling Church was Primarily from Spotsylvania County. Linda: Someone just posted about that traveling church. Did anyone see it? Andy: Somne of my Pittmans went to KY with the Traveling Church. Bill: My Daniel family, my Snead family, my Brown family, and my Noel family, were all part of the groups, but I think the Daniels left in about 1788. Anne: NO Andy - it was made up of members of several churchs in Spotsylvania and surrounding counties. I have lots on this church and Linda: Bill, did any of your Noels marry Wrights? Bill: The "Traveling Church," that's what it came to be called? Anne: Bill - the Daniels, Sneeds, Browns, Noels all settled within a few miles of where I live Linda: I'm interested in the Noels for myself and for a fellow researcher here in Baltimore County. Linda: Joann, which 2 books did you order? Anne: I have a sizabel database on the Noels from Va to Ky & access to far more Joann: I don't have any Noels, but I do have a Hannah Wright who married Thomas Haynes in the mid-1800s. Andy: Anne, I have tried to id the Pittmans who went west with the traveling Church. Let me know if you have any Pittman info. Joann: The books by Rev. Fall. I can't remember the titles just now. Andy: Noels married into my Evans line in Caroline. Bill: Linda, my Noel connection is through the Brown family. Without going back to check my PAF....Berryman Brown married Mary Noel in Essex COunty, VA...their daughter, Margaret Brown married Benjamin Daniel in Caroline County, VA, and then they went to Mercer County, KY... Linda: I made one of those postings. The books are very good. Bill: their all in the book. Joann: One of the books is "Post Offices and Communities of Caroline County." Anne: Bill - I live in MErcer CO Ky Bill: Mundays were involved, too. Bill: Where, Anne? Joann: The other book is about Rev. Rose, I believe. Linda: Bill, email me later to get into more detail. My friend has a file I can send and they were from Essex. Linda: Did you talk to Mr. Grinde? Andy: I believe I will order the "Rose Diary" - always looking for info on 1700s Caroline. Linda: They own a gift shop in Port Royal. Very nice and very pro Caroline. Joann: They claim to be personal friends of Rev. Fall. Linda: They are good friends with Mr. Beverley (gentleman( Pratt who owns Cedar Creek and Camden plantations. Ann_&/or__John: I have some quick questions: where are the best locations to get information from 1790 through the Civil War with Caroline Co. families; particularly the Garnetts? We will be visiting in a few years and I want to make out visit worthwhile. Linda: They are his friends and the last I spoke with him they had just visitied with the Rev. They said there is a possiblility they may try to reprint "A Hidden Village." Andy: Teh Courthouse peg_price: linda, what is the Rose Diary about? Edith_Fensom: John, Which Garnetts are you looking for? Linda: The other book everyone should have is the history of Port Royal Rev. Fall wrote. Joann: That's great, Linda. I've contacted my library to see if they can get a copy of "A Hidden Village" through library loan. Andy: There actually is a fair amount of info at the Courthouse even though Caroline is a "burned" county. peg_price: yes, John. Definitely plan to spend alot of time in the courthouse in Bowling Green! Bill: Is this a place we can order Rev. Fall's book? Linda: The Rose Diary covers about 6 years or so of this ministers traveling through the county. It is a personal journal/history... for its scope its interesting. Bill: Anne, I was at the Courthouse in Harrodsburg last year...and I've joined the Historical Society. Ann_&/or__John: Probably the same family with Robert Selden and Richard Brooke, two Civil War generals who died in battle. In particular, my gggg grandfather, Mefrow Sr. and his father, Muscoe. I have found many Muscoe Garnetts, but I want to find the correct one. Joann: Bill, I think I saved the e-mail regarding the books. I'll forward it to you. They cost $30 each, plus VA tax of 4.5% and $4.50 shipping. Linda: Warren Grinde, Port Royal, Va. 22535 804-742-5706 Edith_Fensom: I'm looking for Henry Garnett and his wife Frances Jordan. I think his father was Robert and he had a brother named Muscoe (they all did) Linda: bill, I suppose you post to the Garnett webpage at Rootsweb. Anne: Linda - what are the years of the Rose diary? peg_price: John, I've got an ancestor named Salvator Muscoe. The Muscoe Garnett who has the plantation is a distant cousin. Bill: No, Linda. As far as I know I don't have any Garnetts. Linda: Oh, dear, i don't have the book in front of me. 1744 to 17...? When I get home, I'll check (I'm in a hotel room in Massanutten, Va.) . Linda: Do you post to the Garnett list Bill: No, Linda, I don't. As far as I know I don't have any Garnetts in my line. Edith_Fensom: I post to the Garnett list but haven't had much luck yet. Bill: Is there some other reason I should be posting there? peg_price: AP Hill. My mom said most everyone viewed being removed from their homesteads to another part of Caroline as a godsend. They felt it was a move upward and were not in the least resentful or angry at the Army for forcing them to move. Her family, George Washington Trices, had lived there for a looooong time but she said her parents were not angry at all about the move. I always assumed they'd be mad. Joann: My great-grandaprents, Robert Jasper Thomas and Annie Elizabeth Joseph Long, were moved from their burial site at AP Hill to Greenlawn Cemetery. Linda: My family was living on a rented farm that used to be theirs. they lost it when David Powers' wife Ruth bought the farm at auction for $128 peg_price: I only wish I could actually walk back into the woods and stand on their original homestead. Never to be, I guess. Andy: My gg-grandfather was likewise removed from Liberty Baptist Church to Greenlawn with three other unmarked family graves. Linda: Peg, I've done that. The only thing I found was a piece of barbed wire. and a piece of foundation. peg_price: Andy, my ggrandfather, George Washington Trice, was one of the pastors of Liberty., Joann: Andy, I don't know if my great-grandparents were originally buried at a formal cemetery or their own homesite. peg_price: My gggrandfather, I should say. Linda: Peg, your gr grandfather's name is on a lot of my documents Andy: Linda, did the houses just decay, or were they destroyed by the Army? peg_price: Yes, Andy. And my mom has his prayer Bible in her home. Bill: It sounds like all of you are fairly recent "Carolinians"...my families all left before 1800. Joann: What's left of mine are still there. Linda: Joann:' I don't believe there were any "formal" cemeteries back then. There are several family plots marked on the A.P. HIll maps, my gr grandfather's was one of them. peg_price: and went to KY? Anne: I am here - but my 24 Caroline family lines had left Caroline by 1820 so I don't know much about A.P. Hill peg_price: Linda, can you talk about the brouhauhau involving the removal of all the bodies? Linda: My good friend/cousin Ollie Clarke, UDC, member is in charge of placing stones on the graves of Confederate soldiers... Bill: Anne, supposedly my g-g-g-g-grandfather, Benjamin Daniel, sold some of his land to the Shakers, and the rest of his land butted up against their's in Mercer County. Joann: I've written to Ollie about my Sales and Thomases, but she never responded. Linda: She has discovered through records, testimony, etc. that the graves of the sons of one of the Powers ancestors Were Not removed. Andy: Peg, My gggg-grandfather was a Baptist preacher in Caroline. He had a register of marriages and such that it was recorded in 1855 was in the hands of the Jones family, of course, I don't know which Jones family! Linda: by her request they were left there. Anne: Bill do you need info on Benjamin Daniel Bill: Anything you have would be appreciated, Anne. I did find some deeds when I was at the Courthouse last year. peg_price: Linda, why did she want them left there? Linda: I believe they are already on the way to getting the "commandant's" approval to put up a single monument, prominently displayed commemorating all of her sons who died. Joann: Andy, another distant cousin of mine, Barbara Self Jones, who is also a member of the list, may be able to help you with your Jones questions. Linda: I'm not sure why she didn't want them moved. I guess she just didn't want them disturbed. Ollie has the whole story. I can post it or get her to post it. Anne: I have a Jones line - lived around Dougetown bridge - I have transcribed all the Jones informaton from the Order Books, all the marriages I could find, all the Jones pensions etc etc for Caroline - anyone want to swap JOnes information? Linda: Joann: By the way, Ollie has quite a register of Jones. She is a jone Joann: Is Ollie online? Andy: Get this, I have two burial sites at Greenlawn if I want them by virtue of my g-grandfather and his three unmarked relatives being moved by the army to Greenlawn. The army allocated 6 graves to each family group being moved. Linda: She uses her schools email. So I'm not sure she is now. I can post to antoher cousin who can get to her. I can give you her snail mail address. Andy: Joann, thanks, my Jones family were connected by marriage to one of my Pittmans about 1800. Ann_&/or__John: Edith or Peg, (this is Ann) do you know if Doug Garnett has any of his research on the Net somewhere? He's helped us some. I'd be curious to see how many of the lines he has figured out! Just wondering. Andy: The last ancester i had in Caroline died in Travis Mill Pond in 1894. Linda: Joann: Ollie has a lot of "irons in fire" and tries to do for everybody so I'll get her to send a message to you. or you could try again - She is really very knowledgeable and helpful peg_price: Ann, I don't know Dough Garnett and haven't really done any research on this line yet. Edith_Fensom: Ann, I don't know. He is on the Garnett list. I'll have to ask him. Linda: Doug Garnett posts to the Garnett list. I have a lot of his stuff. i have relatives who married Garnetts. Anne: Peg - I forget - does your Broaddus line go back to Ann Redd Broaddus? Ann_&/or__John: I've been jotting down some notes so I know who to discuss Garnett research with later. We've always thought we were related to the "Elmwood" Garnetts but now it is uncertain. Edith_Fensom: My husband's gggrandmother was a Lucy Garnett, Henry's daughter. Linda: you can still go to see Elmwood at certain times? Joann: I don't think so, Linda. However, please contact Ollie for me. Edith_Fensom: Elmwood was open for the first time this year for Garden Week in April. Unfortunately, I was sick and didn't make it. Ann_&/or__John: John's great grandmother was a Garnett before she married a Stoddard. Her mother was Emeline Augusta James wife to Mefrow Berkeley Garnett. His dad was Mefrow Garnett. Linda: Ann: you really nee to talk to Doug if you haven't already. He sure has a lot on the Garnetts. - all except for mine

Hi. We've been corresponding with Doug Garnett who is putting together an extensive database on the GARNETT family. I was mentioning these two newsletters to which we subscribe to him. Doug asked me to let you know that he can be contacted at Doug Garnett, c/o International Garnett Family Registry, Don Mills, Ontario, CANADA or via email at DGarn12940@aol.com. He'd really enjoy helping other geneaologists and would also appreciate having more information to add to his database. Many of you have already gotten to know Doug, but for those of you that haven't he's a really great guy who has done an incredible amount of research on the GARNETT family. Thanks, Ann Stoddard

Peg, John & I will be missing the next chat session. It's our 10th anniversary. :-) If it's possible, could you save the chat and send it as an email attachment to me at stoddard@bctonline.com? Or is it possible for me to download it from somewhere later? We're looking forward to participating in the next session! Thanks! Ann Stoddard

Hi everyone, Ed Broadus just passed on this Broaddus reunion note to me: ...., I came across this message from Sam Broaddus about a Broaddus reunion July 16-18 at Shenandoah Acres 10 miles from Staunton, VA. Apparently these are descendants of Luther Broaddus who are getting together. This message was sent to me Feb. 1, 1999, so I don't know how valid it is, but I thought this might be something you might want to pass on to others on your list. Sam's email address is sjensen1@maine.rr.com peg

Peg, I will be there on Thursday, July 1 for Caroline Chat part II. Since it took us 45 minutes to get everyone on the same chanell last time, I would suggest that our topic be A. P. Hill and environs again. Perhaps you could put out the instructions and proper proceedure for everyone to follow to avoid the confusion again. Regards, Andy andrews155@aol.com

Hi everyone, We're planning on a new chat for next Thursday, July 1, at 10:00 pm EST just like last time.(We didn't have one today.) What we'd like to know is.....Is there someone of our List who would like to be the moderator and suggest a topic we could discuss? Perhaps it's a part of Caroline's history that you are very familiar with and can answer questions,etc. I know there's been interest expressed in the old mansions and estates in the county and where they're located and the families that once lived in them. Or maybe we'd like to discuss A.P.Hill again and talk more about the families and communities that lived there.I know Linda would happily be our moderator again and we really didn't delve deeply into that topic. If you've still got everyone's name on our lists from last week, we should be OK and ready to go. For newcomers wishing to join, email me privately at bearpaw@alaska.net and I'll explain what you have to do. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from those of you who would be willing to host a discussion. peg
