Hello: Over the last few months I have acquired copies of the death and birth indexes for certain surnames. The surnames I am researching are Beverly, Buford, Calloway/Callaway, and Saunders. There are the names that I have. When copying theses indexes, there were other surnames on the pages also. For example, my Callaway list has some Caldwell, Cale, Calendar, Calfee, Callahan and a few others. So if it's close to the spelling of my surname, I might have it. The birth index I only have Callaway/Calloway and Saunders. I will only do 2 looks up per individual per day. Angela

Is anyone aware of a family moving from Franklin County to Ohio in 1818. We have just learned of William Lemon and his wife, Margaret Williams and their children, aged 10 to 1, move to Darke County, OH in 1818. Surely, they did not travel alone. Maybe your lost family is in Darke County. Realize this is a shot in the dark, but had to ask. Millard Lemon

Just wondering if any listers would have access to any cemetery records for Franklin Co, VA. My gGrandmother died in AR (I believe) but I think she may have been buried in Franklin Co since she was from there.

Offer from Beverly Merritt: One day a week I will go to the courthouse and copy any records in return for a donation to the genealogy society. The first record would be $5, any others $2.50 each. This would cover copying and mailing costs and give a little to the group. Beverly Merritt P. O. Box 316 Ferrum, Virginia 24088 beverlym@swva.net

Yes, William Likens and Margaret Ritter, daughter of Susannah (Ritter), establihed a marriage Bond, Jan. 13, 1790. Surety for the Bond was Marcus Likens. John Ritter and Delilah Wilson, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Wilson) established Bond Mar.18, 1793, Surety for the Bond was Joseph Ritter. These marriages then took place at a later date. The above procedure was to assure that the marriage would actually occur. Lowell Marcia Loughry wrote: > > Can someone explain to me what the following text from the Virginia Marriage Bonds means?

Can some one tell me where I can get a marriage cert at for Franklin County for the year 1898-9 possible in Brown Hill, Franklin Co? And how much the cert will cost? Thanks Angela

Hi all. Normally I wouldn't have anything to add to this clear message, but later thought it might be of interest to some that a number of Confederate soldiers who were imprisoned at Camp Chase were freed at the end of the war and went home after taking the Oath of Allegiance to the U. S. If you are perhaps trying to find an ancestor who was of an age to have service but haven't found him, he might have been one of those who survived. Some years ago, not knowing much about my gr-grandfather except that he was said to "drive an ambulance", I wrote to Natl. Archives in Washington, D. C. and received several pages of his service record including the information he was captured at the Battle of Nashville, held prisoner and then released. He went home to Alabama and found his family starving and his land and buildings in shambles. This latter information came from his eldest daughter who lived until 1951.
