Actually I just found out that kentucky DID put their info on the web and it's really nice and even has some Virginia Warrants since it used to be it. http://sos.ky.gov/land/search/ Make sure you click the search in Notes box - you ancestor may have been assigned someone else's land, or is it picked up someone else's assigned land. anyway, check it out. okay - so if I wanted CA, then I need to go to the California Land Commission. I haven't gotten to that point yet, but I'm trying to help someone in my home state, and unfortunately I don't know that much, I'm first generation Californian so I haven't had to look here.

I am trying to find birth and death dates for George W. Sutler and his wife Unity (Courtney) Sutler. George W. Sutler was born about 1818, I believe in Virginia, and Unity Courtney was born about 1835. They are still in Fauquier Co in the 1880 census. Some of their children migrated to West Virginia and changed their last name to Setler, that being the name on their death records. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Ken Lewis **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides. (http://travel.aol.com/travel-guide/united-states?ncid=aoltrv00030000000016)

Thanks!!! I didn't know that - I just assumed that they were scanning the records that they hadn't microfilmed, thinking that though via microfilmed they were still accessable to the public, it not in such a nice way. Hoping that they would get to the ones they'd microfilmed eventually, but after they had done all of the others first. I keep on checking back, because you never know, lol. that and the Bureau Of Land management site - even though they aren't doing the 13 colonies :-( Julie in CA [email protected] wrote: Amanda asked, and I don't know whether she got an adequate answer: One last question. Why are the Chancery Records for Fauquier County scanned and other counties aren't on the Lib of Va. site? My response: I attended a lecture a few years ago at the Library of Virginia in Richmond--before the new building was finished--about the huge project being undertaken by the librarians and archivists at the LVA--the preservation of chancery records. The Library apparently had called in from the counties the surviving chancery records for each county. They were in deplorable condition, in many cases. One example was given to us--the box in which the records were stored was covered with coal dust. The mold, the dust, the condition of the papers are generally such that the archivists are allowed only a specified time to work on these papers. They had to be cleaned on the exterior, as indicated, then the papers had to be unfolded, and whatever else had to be done to preserve them, and only after they were in filmable condition could they be filmed--or prepared for digitization. This is a painstaking process. Those who have worked with OLD papers in courthouses probably have experienced similar events. Torn pages, falling apart covers, fading ink, etc. Example of a genealogist's experience: My first delving into old records was in England. My maternal grandmother was born in England, and her eldest son, my uncle, before the death of both of them, had interviewed his mother and had written about a 15 page history of the family--which helped me immensely. I was able to go almost directly to the county record office in England where her family had originated--although they had moved around quite a bit before migrating to this country in 1885. I requested in writing a specific parish record. At that time, the county record office was in a deteriorating county building--brick--which had been abandoned by another county office--I believe it was the school district building in a previous life. (Talk about recycling!!! I have worked in similar county recycled buildings in a much newer area than old England. Some buildings were so dark, one generally had to feel your way down the hall!!!) At any rate, eventually my request at the CRO was fulfilled. The parish record--a vellum little book with fading handwriting--was wrapped in what I, a layman, would call something like butcher paper. As I unfolded it, I saw this pinkish stuff--mold. That did not deter me from handling it, but it did bother me a good deal that such a valuable book was in such condition. Things are not much better in some of our US courthouses!!! (I have had some interesting--if offputting--experiences in courthouses in a good many southern States, mostly by beginning county clerk's helpers). At any rate, that particular English county record office has since moved into a much nicer building in the same town, but I now have to take a costly taxi ride from the train station! I only hope I live to get back there someday!!! I bet those of you who have been doing on-site genealogical research in various courthouses have had some similar experiences. Those of us whom have Virginia roots, even if several centuries ago, are fortunate that the Library of Virginia has been able to get the funding to preserve so many of its surviving records. Unlucky for me, in some respects--some of my colonial ancestors lived in counties which are now called *burned Virginia counties*! Be grateful for what is available to us, however long we have to wait!!! (And don't believe everything you read!!! And, furthermore, try not to be shocked once in a while!!! Our ancestors, their siblings, and their parents were human, after all.) E.W.Wallace who lives far away from Virginia **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

>From John Alcock's book "Fauquier Families 1759-1799", pg. 106: Edmonds, William, Tithables List 1787, paid by John Edmonds, Tithables List 1789-99. Marriage Bond 1/12/1799 to Hester Foote of age, bondsman Francis Brooke. Don't know if this is your William, but possible. Sandra -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Chuck Edmonds Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2008 7:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [VAFAUQUI] William Edmonds Family (1763- ) CORRECTION I see in my first post the date is wrong on the subject line and on the dates for John Edmonds. I am only off by 100 years. The rest of the dates are correct. My apology. To repost.. I have posted on message boards but not this particular mailing list. I am searching for information on an Edmonds family from Fauquier County VA that may have moved to a neighboring Virginia county around 1820. William Edmonds (b 1763- ) was a son of John Edmonds (1737-1798) Will Records confirm this. Deed records show William sold his farm that he inherited from his father John to Hezekiah Shaklett in 1819 but William is not found in Fauquier records after that date so far as I can determine. This William lived in the Upperville / Paris area. Deed records indicate his wife was named Sally (more formally Sarah perhaps), but I have found no marriage record. Based on information I have found but certainly not 100% sure, I believe he had a least one son William "Billy" and perhaps thee daughters; Elizabeth (married Francis Rollow) and Jane (married Wesley Brown) and perhaps a daughter Octavia that is found in the household of Elias Edmonds in the 1850 Fauquier County census. 1810 and 1820 census records for William Edmonds of John tend to support this household group. I have researched record collections held at the College of William and Mary, Univ of VA and VA Historical Society that include letters from associated family members from the period 1839 thru the 1850s. William "Billy" and Octavia (referenced above) were definitely related to the Fauquier Edmonds from references in these family letters, it is just unclear specifically how. I have found no records yet which proves up the exact connection. I believe they are offspring of William the "son of John Edmonds" primarily because the other Edmonds lines are very well documented in one form or another and these individuals are not to be found. This William "Billy" moved to Missouri at approximately the same time that several others who would be his cousins made the similar move to Missouri (1830s). These cousins would include Geo Steptoe Edmonds, John Fleetwood Edmonds, Gilbert H Edmonds, James Henry Edmonds and Octavia Chilton. I suspect the connection was lost at that point. I have had lots of assistance from several that post on this message list and I want to thank each of them for their help. I am hoping perhaps to find something I have so far missed. Thanks. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
