Hi, Has anyone the death date and place of Richard Chapman. The Richard Chapman that married Margaret Abbott. Please help if you can. Thanks Sharon

Reply to Sharon - I have the following on Richard Chapman: he was he second son of Isaac and Sarah (Cole) Chapman, born in Culpeper County, Va. ca. 1742. He married in Culpeper County to Margaret Abbott, a daughter of Richard Abbott and sister of Sallie Abbott, John Chapman's wife. (John Chapman was Richard's brother). They went to Montgomery County, Virginia in 1771, with John Chapman and Moredock O. McKensey and settled near John, at the mouth of Walker's Crrek, living there until some years after the Indian massacre which nearly wiped out McKensey's family on Wolf Creek. They moved to Wolf Creek and lived there for the rest of their lives. Jemima Chapman, sister of John and Richard was married to Moredock O. McKensey. I do not have death date. Hope the above helps. Regards, Jim Burcham

Do you need additional information on this family. Do you have the Giles County, VA History - Families, Vol. I and II ? I would be willing to check those for you if you do not have them.

There are at least two Walker families mentioned in the Giles History books. I have an extensive file on the George H. Walker family. During the War for Southern Rights, George H., son of John H Walker, and grandson of William Walker (1725-1810) migrated to Eggleston in Giles from Craigs Creek in Craig Co., VA. George had a son, John Floyd Walker who was in Pickett's Division. After the war, he made his home at Eggleston and had a large family. John Floyd had a brother, George Thomas Walker, a doctor and first mayor of Vinton, VA. If you will send me your Walker name(s) (and associated dates), I will see if they he(they) are descendants of William Walker (1725-1810). J.

Dear Susan: I don't know about the Wise family in Giles Co. but my husbands family has a long history of Wise's in fact his middle name is Wise. All of the boys in his family had the middle name of Wise and no one knew why until I started doing research on his family and found his great grandmother and that explained it. Her name was Sarah Jane Wise, she was born in 1827 in Georgia, her fathers name was Josiah Wise and he was from Georgia. My husband's grandfather had died when his father was only sixteen years old and no one could remember anything about her. There is a Hugh Wise in Georgia on the 1830, 40, and 50 census. In my records I don't see a Harvey or Hugh. Sorry. Bobby.

Hi, I don't see any Walker family's listed but their are Walkers listed in the book. Three Whittaker brothers married three Walker sisters. 1. Frederick & Annie Laurie m. July 14, 1915 2. Clayton & Bess m. March 6, 1917 3. Elliot & Lelia m. in the late 1920's Billy D.

Although I have Clarks written up in the history books and records of Montgomery, Giles, and Monroe County West Virginia, they are not of this region. The captive girls Elizabeth and Margaret McKinzie of this region lived among the Indians for approximately 17 years before their father Moredock McKenzie found them. My ancestor Elizabeth had a common law marriage with an fur trader who was part Indian by the name of William Clark. Two of three of these Clark children returned to this region of Virginia with their mother and Grandfather McKenzie. One child, Andrew, stayed with Clark the fur trader and died during an Indian battle. Elizabeth remarried in Montgomery Co VA in 1801 using her maiden name McKenzie, but her two children used the last name Clark. John Kinzie Clark the son is written up in history of this region. The middle name Kinzie is for his common law uncle, in union with his aunt Margaret. The daughter Sarah (Sally Clark) married my ancestor William Eaheart in Giles Co. VA 2 April 1816.

Would someone with the Giles County History-Families please look and see if there are any Walker families mentioned? Thanks [email protected]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list. I am researching Harvey WISE b. c1820 who's father may be Hugh WISE. They apparently lived in Giles Co. in the early 1840's. Can anyone help?

Hi. I saw your message on the Giles County list, wherein you listed Thorn as one of the names in your family. I have a Thorn/e, Mary Ann Thorn/e, born 1863, married William Madison Thompson, born 1851, lived in or near Bluefield, VA/WV. I believe Mary Ann had a sister named Lucy, as she was listed with William and Mary Ann in a census as sister-in-law. Does anyone look familiar? :) Look forward to hearing from you. Joyce Tibbs Ortiz I have no

Hi All, I am looking for information on the Rowe/Roe (etc.) Family that was in Giles Co., mainly interested in information on Joseph "Joel" Rowe married to Elizabeth Plymale. Can't seem to find marriage record or documentation on Joseph parents. Joseph born 1789/90. Please help if you can. I have the 2 history books written about the families, no help on my questions. What about church records any available? Sharon

Hello, I'm researching the Clarks of Giles and Patrick and other counties. Related families are, Tate, St.Clair, Parcell, Miles, Gearheart, Johnson, Atwood, Bird/Byrd, Boothe, Bowles, Breedlove, Duncan, Frazier, Hale, Harmon, Huffman, Ingram, Lambert, Law, Martin, McCray, Pannell, Payne, Reynolds, Stables, Stone, Stump, Sullivan, Thorn, Vance, Via, Waters, Watts, Wester, Wheeler, Wright, Wysong plus many many more. If you have these names in your own tree I'd like to hear from you. The specific line I'm researching is from my grandfather back. William Henry Clark 1886-1963 Giles County (Narrows) Andrew Jackson Clark 1852-1930 Patrick County to Giles County German/Jarmon James Clark 1822-1900 Patrick County John Clark approx. 1790-1842 Patrick County Many boundaries have changed over the years so County names aren't always accurate for today.
