Dear Paul, Surely you can see the problem with "no middle name"? Harry S Truman served in the Government three times. Once as a Captain in the Artillery in WWI and once as VP and once as Prez. He had a middle initial but no middle name. NMN would have worked for Prez George Washington and Prez Thomas Jefferson, but not everyone in the Government.

I am Major Dillard Racer's 2nd great grandnephew. His brother, John Albert Racer, was my 2nd great grandfather who came to Page County, VA from Rappahannock County around 1850. Nice to meet you, cousin! Do you have any information regarding a second marriage for Major D.? Somewhere in my notes, someone suggested that Major D. married again after moving to Ohio, but I've never found definite proof. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, E. L.

Hi E.L., Thanks for that information. I didn't realize these books were out there. I noticed the surname, RACER. Are you connected to Major Dillard RACER who married Mary Ann SWINDLER? Mary Ann's mother was Ellen GAUNT, my husband's second great grand aunt. Thanks again for the information on the books, Linda Cashen Gaunt

Hi All, I'm sure others know about the site for the National Historic Register for VA, but I wasn't aware of it. Thanks to another Culpeper Researcher, I was given information on Henry MILLER and located some previously unknown information. I just searched CORBIN and found an application with the name George T. CORBIN. This cabin was built in about 1910 in "Nicholson Hollow", now the Shenandoah National Park. The map (for me) is very interesting. I didn't realize this area was "Old Rag Mountain". My husband's GAUNT/CORBIN family had a homestead (as did many others) in what is now Park territory. Here's the site for those, like me, who don't have it: http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/ It's nice to see the area that you've been researching. Does anyone know of this George T. CORBIN?
