I am researching the Joseph MEADOWS family of Williamson County TN. Joseph had a brother named Jonas MEADOWS also living in Williamson County TN. In the Franklin Co VA Abstracts from Will Book 1, 1786-1812 a Joel MEADOR is listed with several children, two of them being a Jonas MEADOR and a Joseph MEADOR. I would like to find out if this Jonas and Joseph are the same individuals that migrated to Williamson County TN. Is anyone researching this family?? Any help would be appreciated! Darlene Anderson

Hello Listers, Would like to know if there is anyone on the list who is currently researching the names Gray and Wertz. Have a John W. Gray and w/Mary Wertz. Their children were: Sara C., b. 1833, Franklin Co. William E., b. 1836, Franklin Co. Francis, b. 1838, Franklin Co. Jonathan, b. 1840, Franklin Co. Margaret Ann, b. 1842, Franklin Co. Griffin, b. 1845, Floyd Co. Giles, b. 1848, Floyd Co. Thomas W., b. 1850, Floyd Co. Mary Rosabella, b. 1853, Floyd Co. John W. Gray, had a brother, William Gray, who also lived in Franklin Co., who married and raised his family in Franklin. Believe that John W. Gray might have had another brother who was married in Franklin Co., but later moved to Raleigh Co., WV, where John also had moved. Also seeking information on the old Wertz Station. John's wife Mary Wertz' family may have been associated with the old station. The only information (during the last year) that I have uncovered on this station is that it was located close to Groggin's (maybe Goggin's) station, and might even be one in the same, having had two different names. This station was close to the county line that seperates Franklin Co. from Floyd Co. Would love to exchange information with anyone who thinks they could be related to either family, Gray or Wertz, mentioned above.

I just wanted to take this time to apologize to everyone for how far behind I have fallen with the Archives. This has been one heck of a summer :) But it's been fun, just extremely busy. I have updated the WV counties with files recieved during July, so those are already online for you to see. I am now working on the Virginia Counties. The first update I do will be for files rcvd in July, so if you've sent a file in August, it won't be on this update. I need to finish one month before I begin on another. My youngest just started kindergarten and I haven't started back to work yet, so next week I plan to spend getting everything all caught up. Assuming nothing goes wrong, I should have time to get it all done. Thank you all for your patience with me :) Also, I have inherited three new counties in Virginia and will begin working on those web pages after I have finished my work on the counties I have pending files for. Those counties are Goochland, Henrico, and Hanover. So be thinking of anything that you'd like to submit for those counties and soon I'll be posting new files there as well. Thanks again for all of you who have supported me and the archives. I hope to be more prompt in the future :) Jeannie ************* Now Available: "The Descendants of John Thomas Clay, Jamestown Immigrant and son of Sir John Clay of Wales" Also available: "The Descendants of James Bailey & Lucy Simms" For more info: http://www.trellis.net/users/madamx

Seeking the children and spouse of Emanuel UNDERWOOD. He was in the Franklin Co, VA 1810, 1820, 1830 and 1840 census records, but evidently died before the 1850 census, and I've not been able to determine the names of his many children. My ancestor is Ellen(der) UNDERWOOD b 1825 in Franklin Co; m William MITCHELL and they are together in the Floyd Co 1850 census - which is where I got her birth date and place. I've checked all the UNDERWOODs in 1820, 1830 and 1840 in Franklin Co and found 5 with females born about 1825. I've ruled out all but Emanuel - so he must be the father. I'd really like to link up with some other descendants... The UNDERWOOD-L is very helpful on every other UNDERWOOD, but no one seems to know much about Emanuel other than he was one of the many children of Samuel and Misniah UNDERWOOD. Has anyone seen a will or estate settlement for Emanuel, or a marriage of an UNDERWOOD widow about 1845?? Hope to hear from some cousins...

I am trying to find the parents and siblings of Jacob Boyd who was born in Franklin Co. in 1829. In the 1850 census he was living in Floyd Co. with a Shelor Family. In 1852 he married Mary M. Carter daughter of John B. Carter in Floyd Co. He was in the Civil War and in the 1880's moved to Patrick Co. Have been told his father was possibly a John Boyd but the John's I have found so far do not have a son Jacob. Thanks for any and all help. Faye Caynor

Thanks to all who responded to my cry for help. I have many more New & Used bookstore links and may have found a copy of the book. I am awaiting the reply of the dealer. Again thanks, you are a great bunch of people. Pat in Va.

Ok group, I need your expert help. I have posted this to several lists, so if you receive duplicates please accept my apology. I am looking for a copy of the above referenced book. Thus far, I have ordered it from ABE, Amazon, Barnes & Nobel and Borders. Each time the book dealers list the book on their site, accept the order and later inform me that the book is unavailable. This has been going on for several months now and I am really getting discouraged. Does anyone have any suggestions why I might find this book? Please advise what book sites you use to find old and used books. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks ever so much, Pat Johns in Va.

Woops, sorry! i must have sent this joke from Pam to the VA list by accident. My apologies. I'll try to be more careful in the future. John Mcmenamin.
