Wonder what notable events took place the year your grandparents married? The Internet has many websites with timelines and calendars of events. I stumbled upon this one today: Wikipedia not only lists events for each century but also lists events for each YEAR within each century. Within each year, events are categorized by subject. Subjects highlighted in BLUE have links that lead to information. Subjects highlight in RED are waiting for someone to contribute information (which is how Wikipedia works). For example, here is the website for 1905: 1905 - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905 I was curious about any notable weather events that took place that year. I clicked on Meteorology: Category: 1905 meteorology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1905_meteorology which provides a link to the 1905 Hurricane Season. The main page for centuries is: List of centuries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centuries I know, I know.this website will lead you astray. Have fun!!

The following is what is written up in my work _Sorting Some of the Wrights of Southern Virginia, Part III: 1809 William Wright of Franklin County_: "Mary "Polly" (Wright) Bowles was a daughter of 1843 George Wright of Franklin County and Mary "Polly" (Abshire) Wright. (1809 William1, 1843 George2) The marriage record of Jacob Bowles and Polly Wright, daughter of George, Sr., was dated July 21, 1827, at Franklin County, Virginia: "Sir please to Issue licence for my Daughter Polly Wright to be married to Jacob Bowles and Oblige your Humble servt George Wright senr August 21 day 1827 Mr Tate or Dickeson CFC Sir you can Subscribe my name as Security to the Bond as I could not Possably Come myself Know all men by these Presents that We Jacob Bowles and Luke Wright are held and firmly Bound unto William B Giles Esquire Governor of the Common Wealth of Virginia in the sum of one hundred and Fifty dollars to which payment whereof well and truly to be made to the aid Governor and his successors We bind ourselves and each of us our and each of our Heirs Executors and Administrators jointly and severally firmly by these Presents sealed with our Seals & dated this 21st day of August 1827 The Condition of the above Obligation is such that whereas the above bound Jacob Bowles hath obtained from the clerk of the County Court of Franklin a licence for his intermarriage with Polly Wright of said County Now if there shall be no lawful Cause to obstruct the said marriage then this obligation to be void, else remain in full force & Virtue Witness Jacob Bowles J C Tait Luke Wright" The will of 1843 George Wright dated August 12, 1839, and probated on January 2, 1843, at Franklin County, Virginia, W.B. 5/452 listed Polly Bowles as his daughter: ". . . . Item I give and bequeath unto my son Luke Wright a Horse bridle and saddle and 40 Dollars in money also I wish and desire that Polly Bowles and her children to have 100 Dollars at her mothers death . . . ." On May 14, 1847, at Franklin County, Virginia, Chancery Court Order Book A/ the Court issued the following order identifying Mary (Wright) Bowles as a child of George and Mary Wright: "May 14' 1847.

The Court doth therefore adjudge order and decree that Thomas S.

List, I'm getting frustrated with myself at this point. Please pardon me while I say I goofed again! We do believe Mary Polly Burnett's mother was Nancy Pendleton. I got that right. However, the statement that Pryor Pendleton was the witness of her marriage to John Burnett was wrong: Pryor Pendleton was the witness at Jonathan and Mary Polly Burnett Boyd's marriage. I have been rather anxious to get the information posted since it's been almost a year of gathering enough information to post. I guess my haste is not paying off right now! I appreciate your patience, Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: Michelle Ligon To: vafrankl@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] Joseph Boyd b. 1770-1780 Franklin Co., VA List, Someone kindly corrected an error, on the Boyd list: I have two differing sources for Mary Polly Burnett's parents.

Hello, I am wondering if the List could assist me with tracing Joseph Boyd m. Nancy Aaron. Here is the information I have on them and their children. I have more info on other descendants and will post that in the future. Thank you in advance, Michelle Ligon U2 Joseph Boyd b. abt 1770-1780* (Bedford Co. or Franklin Co, VA**), (son of, we THINK, Joseph Boyd of Bucks Co., PA, and ?? [nee ?? ] Boyd), d. abt 1852 (Russell Co., VA), buried, probably in New Garden, Russell Co., VA, m abt 1800 (probably Franklin County), Nancy (probably Aaron***, though no proof exists so far), dau of , we THINK, William and Elizabeth (nee ? ) Aaron of Amherst Co., b. / /1774 in Albemarle Co., VA, d. aft 20 Aug 1870, at least age 96, in Honaker, Russell Co., VA, buried, probably in Honaker, Russell Co., VA. *It is held by some that Joseph was born abt 1769-1770, and the 1850 Russell Co. census supports this. HOWEVER, the two previous censuses in Patrick Co. and Russell Co. do not. They consistently put Joseph in an age category that would show he was born 1780-1790. Since Jonathan was born in 1801, it is more likely that it was not later than 1780. ** Franklin County was formed from Bedford County in 1785. It is unlikely that Joseph was born as late as 1785, since he would have been only 16 years of age at Jonathan's birth in 1801. So we BELIEVE his birthplace was Bedford Co. although he reports Franklin Co. to the 1850 census-taker. *** Aaron is the maiden name for Nancy which has been passed down through several different (and distant) branches of this family. For now, that information provides us a lead in our continuing search for proof. Joseph and Nancy Aaron Boyd lived in Patrick Co., VA (until at least 1830) and New Garden, Russell Co., VA (as of the 1840 census, although some documents of land transactions in Patrick Co. indicate Joseph and family might have left there in 1830), and had issue: V1 Jonathan A. Boyd, b. 8 Sep 1801 (Patrick Co., VA), d. 18 Apr 1892 (Honaker, Russell Co., VA), buried Jonathan Boyd Cemetery (Honaker), m. 18 Sep 1828 (Patrick Co., VA), Mary Polly Burnett, dau of John and Elizabeth (nee Tate) Burnett, b. 12 Apr 1813 (Patrick Co., VA), d. 24 May 1896 (Honaker, Russell Co., VA), buried in Jonathan Boyd Cemetery. V2 Elizabeth Boyd, b. abt 1804 (Patrick Co., VA), d. aft 1880 (Menifee Co., KY), buried, probably in Menifee, m. bef 1831 (Russell Co., VA), Henry Peck, son of George and Catherine (nee Wysor) Peck, b abt 1801 (Montgomery Co., VA), d abt 1860 (Russell Co., VA), buried probably Russell Co. V3 Nancy Boyd, b. abt 1806 (Patrick Co., VA), d bef 1880 (Russell Co., VA), buried probably Russell Co., VA, m abt 1829-30 (possibly in Russell Co., VA) Abraham Reynolds, son of Henry and Ann (nee Ward) Reynolds, b. 1798 (Maryland), d. abt 1860 (Russell Co., VA), buried, probably in Russell Co., VA. V4 Robert Boyd, b. abt 1810 (Patrick Co., VA), d 1870-1880 Powell Co., KY, buried probably Powell Co., m bef 1835 (Russell Co., VA) Nancy MNU , b 1815 (Wythe Co., VA), d 1870-1880 (Powell Co., KY), buried probably Powell Co.

Hello List, Anyone else researching the Samuel Montgomery and Elizabeth Bowman lines? My daughter-in-law comes from this line and I am researching it for her. I am very happy to share all I gather on the more recent descendants. Samuel Montgomery 1777-1833 married Elizabeth Bowman 1805 Franklin County, Virginia. We are most interested at this point if any of these Montgomery men below have Confederate military records. There are men with these names listed on Virginia muster rolls but I do not know if they are ours. James is a son of Samuel and Elizabeth. Another son of Samuel and Elizabeth was John J. who has a son Abraham Stover Montgomery. Abraham S. Montgomery is listed with the 57th Va Inf. and this might be Abraham Stover Montgomery. James Montgomery and sons Isaac, Samuel and George. Were they with Confederate regiments? Thank you. Donna Schwieder
