Elizabeth > Peter: There were two different Jonathan Peters, born about the same time in Franklin County, VA. They were from different & unrelated lines. One family is known to have German ancestry. The other probably has English roots & may have originally went by the surname of "Peter." The Jonathan Peters who wed Elizabeth Stover is of the German family & not of my line. I hope this clears everything up. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
John Hall: There are many listings for Hall in "Nothing But Glory -- Pickett's Division at Gettysburg." Armistead Hall is not one of them. Only one seems to have ties to Franklin County, VA. James P. Hall is mentioned as part of Company "B," 24th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment. His Company was organized at Gogginsville & Rocky Mount, Franklin County, VA on 25 April 1861, mustered into service for one year at Lynchburg 23 May 1861 & was reorganized 10 May 1862. Should you request additional information on a particular Hall or those from a particular County, please feel free to submit an additional lookup request. Forward the Colors!

My gg grandfather, Jonathan Peters, was born 23 April 1827 in Franklin County, VA & died sometime after 1900 in probably Raleigh County, WV. I have found 3 marriages for Jonathan Peters listed in Raleigh County Marriage records transcribed by Pauline Haga. They are as follows: * 10 June 1852 to Catherine Dickens * 6 February 1896 to Spicy Catherine Vealey * 27 June 1899 to Sarah Margaret Pittman According to a Dickens Family history book written by Justin Kirk Dickens, Jonathan Peters also married one Margie Laverty. No wedding date is given. The 1900 Raleigh County, VA Census lists the following household in the Marsh Fork District: 312 Jonathan Peters born April 1827 73 years old Mary born April 1827 73 years old Since the census information is just a year after Jonathan's third marriage, I believe that Sarah Margaret Pittman is actually Margie/Mary Laverty & that her marriage to Jonathan Peters was, at least, her second. I believe that her maiden name was Laverty & that she first married a Mr. Pittman. Can anyone assist me with this dilemma? Thank you in advance for any information or guidance. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
Jackie: I found three of the Sink surname, with ties to Franklin County, listed in the same company & the same regiment. The trio is found in the roster record of Company B, 24th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment in the following manner: Sink, John H.(4th Corporal): Father was Mr. Otty Sink; the company initially reports him as missing in action and subsequently as "supposed killed" but there are no federal records concerning him; killed. Sink, Jessie: Enl 10 March 1862 at Gogginsville. Sink, William: Enl 3 March 18162 at Rocky Mount. Company B of the 24th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment was organized at Gogginsville & Rocky Mount, Franklin County, VA 25 April 1861. It was mustered into service for one year at Lynchburg 23 May 1861 & was reorganized 10 May 1862. I hope this info is useful. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

Virginia: I regret to inform you that I find no Silas Payne listed as a member of General Pickett's Division at Gettysburg. While there are some 26 listings of that surname, none comes with the Christian name Silas attached. Good luck in the hunt! Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
Duke: I find three of the Pearson surname listed in "Nothing But Glory -- Pickett's Division at Gettysburg." They are James, James W., John T. & Richard E. According to each individual's unit information, these gentlemen would seem to have ties to Albemarle & Fauquier Counties of VA. Are your searching for a particular Mr. Pearson? I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
I find an Edward T. Preston listed as a member of the 18th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment, Company K (AKA Charlotte Rifles). His listing is as follows: Preston, Edward T.: (19) farmer; shot in the left foot; the ball lodging in the arch. Company K of the 18th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment was "organized prior to February 1861, this company enlisted 24 April 1861 at Charlotte Courthouse, Charlotte County, VA for one year; was mustered into service 24 April 1861; and was reorganized 26 April 1862."

Betty: Welcome aboard! I hope your stay on the Franklin County list will be an enjoyable one. In "Nothing But Glory -- Pickett's Division at Gettysburg," I found a James E. Greer listed in the 24th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment, Company D. He is listed in the following manner: Greer, James E. (2nd Lt.): Enl 23 May 1861 at Lynchburg. Company D of the 24th VA Voluntary Infantry Regiment "was organized 13 May 1861 at Rocky Mount, Franklin County, Virginia; was mustered into service 11 June 1861 at Lynchburg for one year; and was reorganized 10 May 1862."

Mike, can you look for Pearsons in that "Nothing but Glory"? I'm curious about something... Duke Pearson
Margaret, you can find most land records in the Library of Virginia files, they are digital and you can read, print or download copies of the actual records. You can search by surname, be sure and use variant spellings as the response is based on how the name WAS spelled not how it should have been spelled. Here is the url to the Library of Virginia. They have many other types of records that are digital and everyone with lineage in VA should investigate.

Does anyone know anything about these records, if there were land sales soon, as both Henry Woody and Thomas Robinson/Robertson were in Franklin Co. in 1797/1800. Any idea where I might find records on this will be appreciated. Now...I am in posession of the 1880 US census, and will look up anyone that you feel was in VA or other places then. All I ask is: please do not ask for more than one name at a time. If at all possible I will search for them and get back to you right away. Margaret Heinek ______________________________
Kay: In "Nothing But Glory -- Pickett's Division at Gettysburg," I found the following listing under Company F, AKA "Henry & Pittsylvania Rifles," 57th VA Volunteer Infantry Regiment: "Hodges, Richard S. (4th Sgt): Enl 17 April 1862 at Fort Dillard, North Carolina; shot in the right thigh and shoulder, left hip, and right hand, and captured; treated at U.S. VI Corps Hospital; exchanged from DeCamp Hospital 27 September 1863." I do not find Hiram Harvey Hodges or David Franklin Hodges listed. It is quite possible that I'm related to the Harry Dillon Peters if he hailed from the Floyd or Franklin County areas of VA. I'll check to see what I can find out. Do you know who his parents were? I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
