Those of you interested in some First Germanna Colonists of 1714 ancestry may be interested to learn of some of the Revolutionary War activities involving one Tilman Camper [Kemper] and some information about his widow, the former Diana [sometimes spelled Deniah] Hitt, formerly of Fauquier Co., VA and later of Fayette Co., Kentucky. Oh, yes, in the book following the abstract of the pension claim of Camper and that of his widow is the pension claim [abstracted] of one Coons. There may be others from Germanna colonies, but I was not searching for them. Of course, if you have HeritageQuest, you may find the actual image of the pension claim on HeritageQuest, of which see below. The information appears in a digitized book, information given below, which appears on the online genealogical database called HeritageQuest, available through many public libraries who subscribe. (If you do not know whether your local library or a nearby public library subscribes, confer with your reference librarian. Some tell me they have been able to buy an annual membership at a nearby library and can access this database at their home computer. Genealogists have to learn to ask LOTS of questions.) The name of the digitized book (search under the heading Books): Burns, Annie Walker Revolutionary War pensions of soldiers who settled in Fayette County Washington, DC: Unknown, 1936, 122 pgs. A good many of the First Germanna descendants migrated to early Kentucky. >From Kentucky, descendants went everywhere!!! Also, in Fayette Co. are wills of Henry Camper [Kemper], written 24 Nov 1792, probated Jan 1793; and of his widow Letitia Camper written 4 Mar 1812 and proved May 1812. These abstracts may also be on HeritageQuest, but I have not finished my quest!!! By the way, Fayette Co. divided into a good many other counties, so if you have lost your family, look in adjoining counties.

Good Day to all, I am new to this site. I am in search of my Weaver family members. Noah Weaver was born in 1838 in Virginia. Noah married Jeanet/ Janet/Jennie Downs. Noah and Jennie are my Great Great Grandparents. I am trying to find Noah's parents. Noah and Jennie had three children ..... Basil Avis Weaver (my Great Grandfather) ...Carlos W. Weaver and Robert W. Weaver..... I am leaning a little towards Henry Weaver and his wife Anna/Annie Wetzel / Whetzel / Wetsel as being my Noah's parents. ANY help would be appreciated. Do you have any of the above in your family tree? Would like to hear from you if you have any Weaver's or Downs in your tree. Kindly Bea

Dear Tim, There should be a way to figure out through War records who this person writing is using in Fauquier Co. It would be interesting who this person is.

I have copies of my gg-grandfather's letters to his wife Lucinda Hopkins Hanson from 1862, just two months before he died at Chattanooga. In those letters he mentioned many names of people he had come into contact with during that period of his service, about 11-12 people in all. No one in my family ever knew who the people mentioned in his letters were, and then I began researching: they were his cousins and in-laws and in one case a family friend. I have been able to identify all but one person he mentioned in his letters to Lucinda. I'm pretty sure the only unidentied Redd Hanson was related but I do not know how. Someone out there in the netherspace of email will appreciate your transcription of that small diary and maybe be able to identify a relative or two thanks to your interest. We never know when our own personal interest and reserch will someday prove beneficial to someone else in their family research, so please keep sharing information even when you don't know any individual you have discovered is or where that person came from. Thanks to the technology at hand these days, someone will connect eventually and you will never know the enormouse favor you have done. May you all have a "happy dance" of discovery.

Any diary from the Civil War era is of interest, even though the people are not known. My grandfather was a Captain in the artillery with the army during the retreat from Yorktown. He has written about the terrible mud and having to push the cannon because the horses could not pull them alone. It would be interesting to look up the records for that period and associate the diary with the maneuvers. I don't have time to do it.

1850 VA census, Fauquier County: At house number 239 in Turner's District is Thomas BURCH. This is Jonathan Thomas BURCH and his wife, Lucinda FRANKLIN, who were married in Loudoun County on June 30, 1844. The couple appears in Loudoun County from 1860 until death. I have not been able to locate his family in the 1840 census. Lamont ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.

Everyone, I have transcribed a small diary of someone from Fauquier, who drove cattle for the Confederate Army. The diary is from 1862, but I have no clue who the author is. The only acquaintance listed in the diary who I believe to be from Fauquier was William Eustace. The diary covers about a month from April - May 1862, when the army was falling back towards Richmond. If anyone has anything to add or has more information, please let me know, and I will incorporate that into the information and repost it. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tkreh/CWDiary.htm Thanks!

June, I'll share my thoughts with you - Diadamia possibly didn't know how old she was for the 1850 census, or her husband didn't...one never knows who gave the data to the census taker. He would have been about 34/35 when they married in 1810, possibly had already lost a wife, I would suspect she was really about 55 when the census was taken. That might have been a good guess! On rootsweb, database "Emmons/Sutton Family" by Lorraine Wolf http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2370107&id=I512166406 1870 Census Fauquier County, Virginia, First Revenue District, Page 41, Post Office Warrenton, Dwelling 252, House 250 John W.

Diademia, 76, keeping house, $1000/$170, born in Va., cannot read or write So this would mean she was born about 1795/96, so was 14 or 15 in 1810. John W. was listed as being 12 on the 1850 census, so he would only have been 22 on this 1870 census. Maybe he couldn't count either. Lorraine would be a good contact person for you and Rose.

From Summerduck 1.4 miles SE on Rte 651, 1 mile NE on Rte. 631 on west side of the road.? Built prior to 1831. Owners: James Stigler owned this property prior to 1823; at his death it was inherited by his son George.? In 1834 William Jones bought 54 3/4 acres from George Stigler.? Originally 3 room log house with 2 shed rooms.? James Stigler who owned 700 acres of land extending from Summerduck to Pineview, died previous to Sep. 1823. William Jones owned 700 acres including the following farms: John Kemper, Earl Lunsford, Jim Embrey, Frank Embrey, Jim Jones, and Floyd Smith.? Jones, who died before Sep. 1855, married Diadema Holmes who died during the war between the states.? They were the parents of 10 children, namely: James, Marshall, Franklin, John, Andrew, William, Piney, Susie, Mary and Diadema.? ?

Jones had then been promoted to Captain. During the battle he felt bullets clipping off locks of his hair...? During the retreat, a minnie ball struck Capt.

Jones up in the saddle and led the horse.? He did not take Jones' pistol.? The thought came to Jones how easily he could kill the officer and then ride on to his company, but he put the thought aside.? Later he was sent to the officer's prison on the Great Lakes.? Here he almost starved because he was fed on beans that the rats had run over... His foot finally got well, but he always limped."

I made an error in my posted message concerning Burke help. I posted that John Burke was married to Elizabeth Sweney. WRONG. Should read John Burke married to Elizabeth SHAW (Dec. 23, 1816 bdsm: Wm. Shaw) John's father was Patriot William Burke and he was married to Susanna Sweney (1 Feb. 1778 in King George County in St. Paul's Parrish.) (Sweney or Sweeney depending on records.) Had my cousin confused and glad he caught it so I could make correction. I'm sorry for the confusion this may have caused to others. Amanda

Just a belated idea that Jim Burgess and I kicked around about the time we put the 1850 Fauquier Co census on.?Was wondering if it would work and how many would be willing to contribute to the Fauquier Co list. with matching up?marriages to the Fauquier Co 1850 census, it will help identify the families.? As always, we ask you check the information that is given. Do not take it as written in stone. June ----------------------------------------- I am having a problem understanding the?
