Hi Kay, the historical society is basically open on Wed. from noon to five, but Rebecca, the worker there, is usually there on Thursday and Friday as well. The sign by the drive way is kind of misleading as it shows Sat and Sun. hours but that is for the museum. When go in give Rebecca my regards. We are planning to head back down that way in late August. We are selling the house to my mom, buying an RV and leaving for the winter months, or may be longer don't know yet. The historical society has a lot of info and people there are very helpful. Note of interest someone stole their book of the 1860 census by Charlie Davis. They were going to get permission to either copy the one at the Pearisburg Library or obtain another copy. The Library had two copies but someone stole one of theirs. Now you have to ask at the front desk to look through the book. Have a great trip.

Thanks! I'll look forward to a Wednesday trip down the valley soon. Kay

Is the Historical Society open only certain days of the week? Which days and what hours? We need to make a trip over there is that's where my husband's family comes from. Kay Davis

I am looking for someone who is researching Noslers in Giles Co. I ran across a Theopolis/Theopholis Nosler in the 1850 census a kind person sent me. I can't figure out where he fits it with Boston Nosler and the rest of them. I would like to know his parents names.

In Vol 1 and 2 of Giles Co. history there are lists of the cemetaries. I did copy some while I was there and I will look up those names.

Hi Donna, as Barbara said the Giles County Historical Society in Pearisburg is best bet. They are open on Wednesday from noon to five. If Rebecca is there she also may have it open on Thursday and Friday as well. Take plenty of note paper with you and be prepared to copy much. I was there in March and April. We plan to go back in late August. Have a great time and give them my regards.

If it is Giles Co. that you are looking toward try the Giles County Historical Society. Right next to the Andrew Johnston house on the main drag of Pearisburg. They have numerous books that you can research thru and they are a great help on the cemeterys in the area. --- [email protected] wrote: > Hi, > I will be in VA in July and would like to know > where the best place > to research this county is.

Hi The two best ones I use are...Roanoke City Library,The Virginia Room and The Montgomery Co courthouse in Christiansburg. The library at VPI also has a LOT of microfilm. [email protected]

Hi, I will be in VA in July and would like to know where the best place to research this county is. My ancestor is Adam Meadows. If anyone knows where any of the Meadows or Dicks are buried please let me know. All help will be appreciated. Thank You, Donna

The 1850 Monroe County (West) Virginia census is now available on line in a searchable and soundex indexed form. This has been one of our largest projects to date, containing the complete census records on 9,135 residents of the county. Access is available by subscription, check http://www.rootsource.com/inventory.htm for a complete listing of all surnames in the county. Available at no charge is the 1704 Quit Rent covering most of Virginia's Northern Neck. It is also in a searchable and soundex indexed format. Visit at http://www.rootsource.com/quit_rents.htm If you have ancestors who served in the Continental Army check http://www.rootsource.com/continental.htm for the only site that cross references army regiments to recruiting territories in addition to providing a brief regimental history.

This is submitted for your opinions. Has anyone researching the Lucas family of Giles Co., VA been able to go back before Charles Lucas (b. abt. 1722, md Kathleen Kaywood)? When I began looking for my Lucas ancestors, I found some family information done by another reseacher (WFT Vol 7) which stated James Lucas b. in England in 1665 and md. Elinor ??. It listed 6 children, namely Elizabeth, James Jr., John, Ann, Edward, and Richard. John was the only one with further records which stated he was born June 10, 1692 in VA and md an unknown woman. Four children were listed for John: William, John Jr., Charles, and Forrester. Again only one child had further information and that was Charles who was listed as the husband of Kathleen Kaywood. The records go on through Charles and his descendents. *********************************************** To back up the the children by James and Elinor I have found this listing for the Charles Parish Records, York Co., VA 1648-1789 (found on Ancestry.com). Lucas Ann, dau. of James by Elinor, b. Aug. 2, 1697 Lucas Edward, (twin with Richard), son of James by Elinor, b. Jan. 26, 1700 Lucas Elizabeth, (twin with John), dau. of James by Elinor, b. June 10, 1692 Lucas James, son of James by Elinor, b. April 17, 1689 Lucas John, (twin with Elizabeth), son of James by Elinor, b. June 10, 1692 Lucas Richard, (twin with Edward), son of James by Elinor, b. Jan. 26, 1700 Three other Lucas listings that came up were: Lucas Edward, d. Feb. 11, 1700 Lucas James, d. April 5, 1705 Lucas Thomas, d. Feb. 27, 1703 At this point I don't have any clues if the Edward and James with death dates could be the same children listed above or the father. No idea on Thomas either. *************************************************** As for John and his four children, I remember reading that information in a book or online someplace. I will have to look through my notes and when I find the info again I will post that as well. ************************************************* Now, in a book with Lucas history which was written by another researcher, I found this: "Our first Lucas ancestor in America seems to be William Lucas of Saltashe Co., Cornwall England. A merchant in 1628 recorded as owner of the ship "Supply", which sailed to VA in Jan. 1625/26 (VA Mag. Vol. 15, page 318). On Aug. 16, 1644 provision was made by VA Council for Wm. Lucas and his family (minutes of the council, page 502) and Wm. Lucas was granted 800 acres in the Lower Norfolk Co., VA Aug. 22, 1647. William having married the relict (widow) of Caesar Huggett. THE LUCAS FAMILY OF SURRY CO, VA Wm. Lucas of Surry Co., VA (son of above Wm) was b. 1630 and wife Ann in 1629 according to their despositions June 3rd & 11th, 1659. Wm d. 1660/1661. Wm and Ann had a son, William Lucas and two daughters, one md to Abraham Harris and the other to the brother John Harris. Ann md 2nd to Robert Dennis and both Ann and Robert were dead by 1688. Wm Lucas, son of William and Ann was born 1654 according to his depostion of March 5, 1877/1878 (Wills & death, #2 page 183). Wm d. in Surry Co., VA in 1717. He had md abt 1680/1685 to Grace Beckwith, d/o Marmaduke & Maudlin (Creed) Beckwith. Grace died in Surry in 1720. Children of William and Grace include William, Charles, Ann, Elizabeth, Grace, Hannah, and Mary. (I found this will online which backs up the names of the children for William and Grace: Lucas, William To my son, William, the plantation where he now lives. To Ed Ellis line-300 acres and 2 Negroes, clothing, 1000 nails, goods when they come from England. To son Charles, all the rest of the land, three Negroes, bed, etc. Also goods sent for to England, etc. To Daniel Eelbank, all that he is indebted to me and bed where he lodges at my new dwelling house until he is married.

Anyhow, I'd love to hear some opinions as to whether or not any of the information might be accurate in the connection with Charles. Unfortunately I live in NV and we have a very small LDS library here that seems to carry very little about the areas I need to do research in so I've had to depend on the online resources and mailing lists for most of my information. If anyone can add anything to the above info, please do. I'm keeping notes on both. Who knows, maybe they will eventually connect:) Hope to hear from you soon. Lora

Debbie: I am trying to find where there is info on Joseph Canterbury (or any Canterberry/Canterbury) being in Giles County. I came across an article in a quarterly publication that referred to "Joseph Canterbury, Rev. War Veteran of Giles County". Have been unable to locate him there otherwise. He came out of Montgomery, Franklin Counties and went where?????? Thank you, or anyone else, for any help you can provide. Ida Mae

I am looking for any and all info on the marriage of this couple...Sarah Jane Tolbert was born about 1841 in Floyd Cty, Va---she married a Joesph Marino--no other info has been found..would deeply appreciate any info anyone may have---thank you very much--Bobby-n-NC

I have to agree with Richard, Jeffs' websit is outstanding so make sure you check it out. There was a lot of work put into it. Jeff Weaver's websit: http://www.ls.net/~newriver/nrv.htm has a wealth of other information on other counties and time periods.
