Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Halifax/2314 Surname: Comer, Godsey ------------------------- Hello, I'm doing research on the Comer branch of my tree. There is a chance that my line originally came from Halifax County. Is anyone familiar with the following line? Henry Campbell Comer supposedly came from VA and is not part of the German Comers, but the English Comers. My main goal is to find the parents of Henry Campbell Comer and how he got to NC. Henry Campbell Comer abt.1819-1885 m. Martha France Godsey 1822-1907 and they had seven children. I believe Henry and Martha both died in Rockingham County, NC but unclear from the information I received. Henry C. COMMER and Martha F. GODSEY married 16 Feb 1842 according to Rockingham County, NC records. There children were: Elizabeth Ann, Robert Wiley, Luke F., William Thomas, Willie, and two unknown daughters who went West. William Thomas "Bud" Comer (b.4/24/1843) married Elizabeth "Eliza" Jane Wilson. They had 9 children, all born in Rockingham County before moving to Surry County, NC. Henry Frank, Corrinta Louvicie, Thomas Beasley (1871-1896), Martha Kathleen, Walter Sidney, Robert P., James Acie, John Webster, Cue Eliza Thomas Beasley had one child, Tommie B. (1897-1982), with Martha Ruth Jones (I had Mary/Molly Cora Jones.) Tommie B. was my great-grandmother. She married Luther Sam Abraham Dockery. Does this help with any ancestral links? Thanks for any help, Chris
