Bev, sorry I don't know. But a Gideon Smith had died prior to Aug. 29, 1788, the evidence being return & recording of Inventory & appraisement of estate of Gideon Smith, dec'd. allegedly in Franklin Co. Will Book 1, p. 24 Franklin Co. Marriage bond: Daniel Smith & Ruth Hickson, Jan. 7, 1789. Surety Daniel Hickson Now, a Gideon died c4 months before a Daniel obtained bond, but dates are c45 years before marriage of Creed Smith to Mary Radford. If the given names are a clue, then maybe by working backwards with deeds or something, you'll find the correct lineage for Creed. Good Hunting!

A Solomon Fisher is found in the l880 census for Webster County, West Virginia (Holly). He is listed as grandfather, aged 77, widower, living with grandson, William H. Gilles. There is an Aberham Fisher, aged 45, living in Covington, Alleghany County, born in with his wife, Rebecca L. Fisher, and children, Lillie, Clark, and George. This is the closest age match for Abraham Fisher who was born in l829. --- VAFRANKL-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > ATTACHMENT part 1 message/rfc822 > > VAFRANKL-D Digest Volume 02 : Issue 4 > > Today's Topics: > #1 [VAFRANKL] Fisher ["Family > Researcher" <researcherfam] > #2 Re: [VAFRANKL] Fisher > [Ktrygal1@aol.com] > #3 [VAFRANKL] William G Fisher ["Rena > Worthen" <doreatr@rbnet.com>] > > Administrivia: > DO NOT post/reply to VAFRANKL-D@rootsweb.com (DIGEST > mode) > Send all post/replies to VAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com > All messages will be saved and sent to DIGEST > subscribers in turn. > DO NOT "quote" digest messages in their entirety > when replying to > one of its component parts.

Even though i find William G Fisher abt 1805 married to Elizabeth Adamsabt 1811 married in Bedford County 12-19-1831, I wonder if by chance anyone has a record of him in Franklin County. I don't have good birth dates, Rena.

I hope that all of you had a great holiday. I am seeking information on ABRAHAM FISHER, born ca 1829 in Franklin County, Virginia, and according to his marriage certificate in Patrick County, Virginia, was the son of Solomon & Elizabeth FISHER. It is believed that Abraham had a first wife, but we cannot find what happened to her, did she die? Did they divorce. Abraham married Malinda Adaline Wood, daughter of Mary Wood. We cannot find who this Mary was married to, anyone know? They married 21 October 1858 in Patrick County. From this, we believed he had not been married before, but other researchers say yes. Abraham and Malinda, we find next, in Monroe County, West Virginia, on the 1870 census. Where they were between 1858 and 1870, we do not know. The census shows children then as: Texas, born 1862, Charles L, born 1864, Missouri, born 1866, and Cordelia A Fisher, born 1869, Laura Jane Fisher-Long, William T Fisher-Long, Luke Leonard Fisher-Long and Iowa Fisher, she born 1861, and last John Letcher Fisher-Long born 1874. While in Monroe County, WV, Malinda left Abraham, and left children, Texas, Charles L, Missouri,Iowa and Cordelia A. With him. She took, according to the 1880 census, Laura, William T., Luke Leonard, and John Letcher. After the 1870 census we cannot locate Abraham, did he return to Virginia, and possibly Franklin County? His daughter, Cordelia A married Robert Rutherford in Greenbrier County in 1888, but none of the others, including Abraham was there. We would appreciate any help at all with Abraham and his father Solmon. Thank you! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
Is anyone going to the court house any time soon? I need a marriage lookup done. I am looking for parent information for Cabel Crews. He married Sarah Buford on 29 April 1874 in Pulaski Co, Virginia. I will pay for the cost if someone can get it for me or someone can just write the parents names of Cabel Crews and I will be a very happy camper. Thanks, Angela
My name is Ronnie Hartwell. I am interested in researching my family history & have accessed various Genealogy web sites. However, I have been unable to obtain the needed information to be successful with reaching my goals of learning more about my family history.

Based on the information I received from Ancestry.com, Silas Hartwell (my great-great grandfather) was married to Mariah Webb in 1842. Their son was Samuel James Henry Hartwell. I would like any information regarding these family members and/or a method to obtain verification of this information forwarded to this e-mail address and/or the following address: Ronnie Hartwell 10032-A Oakbrook Drive Charlotte, NC 28210 Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hello: I have looking for some assistance with my Calloway/Callaway line. I have traced the line from Franklin County thru Montgomery ending in Pulaski but I need more info from Franklin. I know Edd and Abby had several kids but I am not having any luck finding them. My 3G grandfather was Len/Lon/Thomas/General (he was called all of these names on official documents) was born abt. 1858 in Franklin Co. He had a sister Catherine a few years older than him. Both of them married siblings in the Wade family. Both my Calloway/Callaway and Wade families are black so the information is limited prior to the 1870 census. Can someone help me? Give me a lead or a place where I can start looking? I know there is a Calloway City or Town in Franklin Co - does anyone have any info on this county? Thanks in advance for your help and taking the time to read this. Angela
