<<I was in the process of looking up my records on Lavinder to see if I could help out but Dan Cook beat me to it. If I can help in tying the Beheler line in any further let me know.>> Bet you found lots of Beheler/Lavinder/Hodges/Wingfield connections in this bunch to name a few didn't you? Would like to compare info. on these allied and connecting families. I'm particularly interested in the Hodges/Parcell/Steagall/Warren connections in the area of Snow Creek, Franklin Co., Virginia. Thanks, Dan Cook Lavinder, Steagall, Warren, Goode, Mullins, Parcell, Love, and McMillan descendant from Franklin Co., Virginia _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

I've heard from Franklin Co. that Henry Hopkins and Bev Merritt are nearing completion on an edition of the 1880 Franklin Co. VA census. Index is done and final proofing of manuscript is underway....a total of 570 pages (88 page index). Bev says there are a lot of names that are virtual duplicates, as I have been appreciating for a time now, and that it might alter some people's research perspectives, and even their data. She's wondering how much interest there might be in copies to determine a print run. I think she monitors this list (?) so I'll put my hat in the ring and say "I want one", whatever the cost. For me it will be a priceless resource. Her e-dress: beverlym@swva.net Y'all come, Peter Ramsey Latrobe, PA

I was in the process of looking up my records on Lavinder to see if I could help out but Dan Cook beat me to it. If I can help in tying the Beheler line in any further let me know.

<<Jerry's line...........ROSA KANSAS SCOTT..........>> <<Jerry's question........ Can someone say how Henry Millard Lavinder fits into this line?>> Rosa Kansas Scott is daughter of Mary Ann Lavinder Mary Ann Lavinder is d/o Chilton and Elizabeth (Ashinghurst) Lavinder. Henry Millard Lavinder is s/o Wingfield Taylor Lavinder. Wingfield Taylor Lavinder is s/o Chilton and Mary A. "Polly" (Beheler) Lavinder. Same grandpa Chilton Lavinder but different grandmother wives of Chilton would make Rosa Kansas Scott and Henry Millard Lavinder 1/2 first cousins. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Now I am able to pin down exactly where my MIDKIFF family lived in Franklin co. According to 'Deed Books' of Franklin co. there was a piece of property (size unkn) on 'Buttermilk' which belonged to my branch of the MIDKIFF's and was deeded to "John N. Bowling" in 1905-07. Family history states "George Tyler Midkiff" was b. abt. 1849 in the "Endicott" area. Many, many thanks!!! sincerely eileen

Samuel Saunders and Sarah E. Jones were married in Franklin Co., Va. in 1893. His parents were Ambrose and Latitia Saunders.

Hello: I am looking for marriage information on Samuel Saunders and Sarah. I found them on the 1900 & 1910 census, both for Franklin Co. My guess is they either married in Franklin, Floyd or Montgomery Counties. The census states they were married 18 years so I will say they married between 1892-1893. Could someone please look this up? I am interested in parent information. The Samuel I am looking for parents' were Calvin and Jemima Saunders.

If you are members of several genealogy lists in the State of Virginia, you will get several copies of this email. Exercise your right and use the delete key on the duplicates. I realize that everyone is fearful of any virus to their computer system and the possibility of losing their files or their entire database; however, there are several good websites that you can check before you forward any "Virus Alerts". I would like to recommend that EVERYONE add at least one of these sites to their favorites list so that you can check the validity of such a warning before you forward the notice. It doesn't take but a few minutes to check to see if the warning is real or a hoax, but those few minutes will educate you and hopefully enable you to inform those persons who are sending the warnings to you that they are invalid. < <A HREF="http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html#internetcharge"><CIAC Internet Hoaxes</A> http://www.datafellows.com/news/hoax.htm http://www.commandcom.com/virus/virus_hoaxes.html Thank you for your time.

I am looking for information on: Jacob WOLF who purchased land in Montgomery County in the late 1700s, I am interested if anyone has information if this is the same Jacob WOLF that married Hannah KINSEY in Franklin Cnty, VA Jeremiah WOLF who may have come to the Shenandoah Valley with the WEDDLE family in the late 1700s Jacob Kinsey who came to the Valley in the late 1700s and lived in Botetourt and Franklin County It is likely that these families were Brethren from PA/MD and moved together with many inter family marriages.
