I am looking for residents on Fairhaven Drive in Jefferson Manor, Alexandria, VA in 1971. I am not sure on the name possibly Karman, or house number, but a listing of all who lived on that street would be greatly appreciated. Also, a school directory lookup for Mt.Eagle Elementary 1971 may show which family(Karman) name lived on Fairhaven Drive. I know the kids went to that school. I am seeking out an adopted sister who was given up for adoption in 1971 to a family who resided here with 2 older children. Many Thanks for your help! Amanda in TN

Is anyone researching the Gladden, Gray or Drakeford families before 1800 in Fairfax County, VA? Sincerely Linda

We Washed a Lot of Tombstones' Florida Couple Records Burials at 19 Clarke County Cemeteries in Second Book By Val Van Meter The Winchester Star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BERRYVILLE - It's not every woman who is willing to spend her wedding anniversary in a cemetery. But this was the case recently for Mary Royston, along with her husband, Don, who were conducting research. The couple completed a second book, cataloging burials at 19 cemeteries in Clarke County and incorporating information for 63 others. "I would not have had the patience to do this," said Mary Morris, archivist for the Clarke County Historical Association. But Morris was the spur that led the Roystons to the project. It was Donald Royston's interest in his family tree that first brought the Ocala, Fla., residents to Clarke County's Green Hill Cemetery four years ago. Royston is a Clarke County native, while his wife hails from Winchester. Many of Don Royston's ancestors were moved to Green Hill after the widening of U.S. 50 destroyed the family graveyard above Berry's Ferry. But finding a grave in that cemetery was difficult. So the Roystons dedicated two years to recording the almost 7,000 names they could decipher on the cemetery's tombstones that date back to 1873. When they offered a copy of the book they created to Morris, she mentioned the need for similar research at the many other cemeteries in the county. Last summer, the Roystons dug into the new project. "We had to," Don Royston explained, "because that's when we were here." Cooler weather is a better time for cemetery research, the couple agreed: less vegetation and less chance of encountering a snake as Mary Royston did at Green Hill. But, they didn't have that luxury in their schedule. The Roystons said Morris provided part of the book's information, from an index of old cemeteries which was printed in the proceedings over 60 years ago. She also helped to update the references to the locations of the old cemeteries. Many were listed as being on a certain farm, but the ownership has changed since then. The Roystons said they also got invaluable help from people who continue to care for the cemeteries. "Dorothy Davis was very helpful with the Milton Valley Cemetery," Don Royston said. They worked closely with her, trying to align their findings in the cemetery with her work on records of burials. "We washed a lot of tombstones," Don noted. Their work cataloging the names of those buried in Clarke has given them many insights into the county's history. "I was amazed that so many of them had served in the armed forces," Mary said. Although their efforts have yielded thousands of names, and some information on those buried in the county, there are still plenty of gaps, Don said. For instance, many of the cemeteries have sunken places indicating a grave, but no tombstone, according to Don. And, he said, there are probably many old family cemeteries that no one now can locate. "That's sad." The cemetery lists, he added, are not "a complete work. There's a lot of information that isn't in there." That search for information is the spark that got Don started on these projects. "I love history, any kind," he said. He's written a history of his family in Clarke. The first Royston, Peter, may have come from the Tidewater area. Four of his sons signed the petition to split Clarke from Frederick County in 1836. Although he knows where Peter lived on the Blue Ridge, Don said he has yet to discover exactly where Peter sprang from. But he hasn't given up. Every so often, he stumbles over a new piece of information that raises hope there may be a trail back to Royston's beginnings. For instance, he said, he recently read a young woman's Civil War journal that mentioned an artillery shelling on the Blue Ridge. One person was injured, she wrote, at the Matthew Royston home. "That was Matthew Whiting Royston," a brother to my great grandfather," he said. At a meeting of the Genealogical Exchange, Don was shown a piece of metal that may have been the actual shell. It was dug out of the ground when that old Royston homestead was cleared. He's found many stories of his ancestors, things "I never knew, until I started this." The Roystons' two books have made quite a contribution to the research of others, Morris said. Now, she said, genealogists "won't have to walk through the whole cemetery," trying to find a name. And, maybe someday, someone will offer the Roystons Peter's name, from the place where he was born. Copies of the Roystons' latest book, "Cemeteries of Clarke County Virginia," can be purchased at the Clarke County Historical Association museum in Berryville for $19.95. The book is also available from New Papyrus Publishing. The museum also has copies of the Roystons' catalogue of burials in Green Hill for $29.95 http://www.winchesterstar.com/TheWinchesterStar/050813/Life_tombstones.asp D.L.M.F RETIRED P.

Jesse Moore was the brother of Jeremiah Moore who was profiled in the Sep 4 issue. Henry Moore, also of Colchester, Fairfax County (previously Prince WilliamCounty), may be connected with William Moore and his sons, Jesse and Jeremiah, in an unknown manner. He wrote his will on 17 May 1772, and it is recorded in Fairfax County Will Book C, P. 149-151. He mentions his land inFairfax Co including two lots in the town of Colchester and his land inMaryland. His will identifies his children as: sons Cleon and Cato; ;my four daughters ; Susanna-married to GEORGE SUMMERS, Sarah, Jane King, and Ann Pinner. He mentions his wife, but does not list her name. He also leaves bequests of 8 pounds current money to Mrs. Hannah Brent, wife of Mr. William Brent of Dumfries, and her brother Mr. Thomas Neale. He appointed ;Hector Ross and Alexander Henderson and son, Cleon, Executors. The will waswitnessed by Mary Courts, William Hamilton, John Davidson, Allen Macdonald,James Rattray and proved on 14 April 1773. As a result of the division between Loudoun and Fairfax Counties, the new boundary line was surveyed. A map of this survey was entered in the Fairfax County records by W. Payne on 17 April 1798. The map also showed the principal roads, turnpikes, and water courses that intersected the line. The homes of nearby property owners were illustrated in their approximate locations. Some attempt was made to show the relative sizes of the buildings, number of stories, windows, pedimented gables, and single or twinned chimneys. Eleven houses were in the vicinity of the project area between Ox Road to the north and the "Road from Leesburg to Alexandria" to the south. The eleven owners were Nathaniel Fitzhugh, COL. SOMERS, Mrs. Lane, Charles Turley, Michael Ashford, Joseph Horseman, George Hucherson, Mr. Riddles, Andrew Hucherson, Mrs. Hucherson, and Ben Hucherson. The Fitzhugh family built a large farm complex in the early nineteenth century that later became known as Leeton; the remains of this complex were identified in the project area during the Phase I archeological investigation of the NASM Dulles Center property. _http://www.si.edu/oahp/dulles/dulles4.htm_ (http://www.si.edu/oahp/dulles/dulles4.htm) ********************** Loudoun Deed Book M Page 123 This indenture made 15 day of June 1778 between Absalom Fox and Christian Fox his wife and Jonas Clapham for and in consideration of the sum of 800 poundscurrent money of Virginia to them in hand paid by said Jonas Clapham beforesealing and delivering of these presents ..... hath sold all that tract orparcel of land situate and lying and being on broad run in the County ofLoudoun and consisting of 500 acres which Absalom Fox purchased of John Berryman.Signed Absalom Fox Christian X Fox hermark In presence of Ambrose Fox Thomas Pritchard **** (my interest as) Gabriel Fox William Fox Benjamin Mason George Summers Har (?)
