If all else fails, the VA Hist Soc sells the Civil War Gilmer maps for $20 each. They are VERY large. The VaHS may have details on their webpage on how to order and what's available. I bought one and had it photocopied and laminated at a copy place that could accommodate the large size on a machine that copies blueprints.

In fact, I can't see it as a whole! However, I know from family letters and stories that my husband's family, the Phillips family, lived next to the railroad track just outside of Beaverdam between 1860 and 1870. And that is where they show on the map. So at least one tiny detail is right. I have contacted the Library of Congress about getting a large copy of this map. However, I haven't heard back from them. I'm also thinking maybe I can download it onto a CD and take it to a Kinko's and get it printed out on large paper. Any portion I can fit on an 8-1/2 x 11 page is either so zoomed that context is lost or so tiny that legibility is lost. I love that LOC site and need to spend hours and hours more going through their stuff. Sally Phillips >>

I jumped on this one because my husband's mother was a Hargett from North Carolina. Google lists a mix of spellings. I assume you mean the HARGRETT collection at the University of Georgia. --Sally
Steve and I have been having a little private conversation about the adequacy [or inadequacy] of the maps held by the Union Army during the Civil War. I have no firm argument one way or the other, but Steve is doing some research of the matter. I am not a Civil War buff, but the war did impinge on my family history--my German immigrant family as well as several Texas relatives, one of whom was imprisoned in New Orleans and later exchanged at the Red River. By googling around, I discovered Hargett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. There are some links to some jpg maps which may interest some of you, especially those of the area around the James River in the 1860s. Prior to discovering this Library website, I found several maps of Antietam battle Sharpsburg Maryland Sep 16-18, 1862. My German immigrant, in his pension claim, filed in Brooklyn, NY in the 1890s claimed he [a member of the First Cavalry--regular army] had been at the battle at Sharpsburg. He gave no other details. But the pension file was rather hefty and full of family information which put flesh on the bones of himself, his divorced first wife, their four children, her second husband [who had been bugler for the company], and his German-immigrant widow, who claimed he had come to Hamburg and courted her!!! Happy hunting, and share your internet--and genealogical--adventures with us. E.W.Wallace

I am thinking that the 1863 map of Hanover and Louisa to which you refer was made for use of the Union Army during the Civil War. I understand that many of the maps that Army used were so flawed that the US Geological Service was formed to provide better maps. (This was from a lecture which a guide to Civil War Battlefields around Richmond gave on a tour.) What are your thoughts? E.W.Wallace whose Hanover ancestor died intestate ca 1737
There is an 1863 map on the Library of Congress website showing who lived where in Louisa, Hanover, and other areas east to the Atlantic. It's in the American Memory, Map section. Its digital ID is gvhs01 vhs 00354. Wait until you have at least an hour to study it. It took me forever to orient myself.

There never was anyone by the name of John Hiram Newton Sims. There was a Hiram Sims who married Mary Abercrombie about 1808 in Laurens Co., SC. The proven parents of Hiram Sims were Clayborn Sims and wife Martha [maiden name unknown to me]. Clayborn Sims was born about 1760 in Halifax Co., VA. and died about 1812 in Laurens Co., SC. I've a well documented history about Clayborn Sims and wife Martha and their children. Also a well documented history about Hiram Sims and wife Mary Abercrombie and their children. Also have quite a bit about Elisha Sims and his descendants who were from another branch of our Sims ancestry.

Hanover Co. was formed in 1720 from New Kent County. Many early records were destroyed during the Civil War. (This information from PLACE search on the Family History Library catalog at _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) Always a good place to start to determine genealogy of the counties and parishes in the US, at least.) Dabney - it is highly unlikely that any cemeteries, as we think of them nowadays, existed when the eldest Cornelius Dabney died. Most people were buried on their own property. Stone may have been scarce, and therefore a wooden cross may have been erected. Here is some information from another search - Surname = on the URL given above for the FHL catalog. This is a brief description of one of the many books held by FHL concerning the Dabney family. Cornelius Dabney was born ca. 1640 in France and died in Virginia before 1701. He married in England about 1668 to Susanne (surname unknown). She was born about 1640 in England or Wales. They lived in France before coming to America and settling in New Kent County, Virginia. After her first husband died she married a Mr. Anderson. She died in 1724. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, Mississippi, Iowa, Missouri and elsewhere. Includes ancestors in France. Comment: My experience with searching--but not very hard--for information about the Dabney family is that there were several generations of men named Cornelius Dabney. My ancestor, Christopher Harris (d. ca 1794 or so) of Madison Co., KY, previously of Albemarle Co., VA, mentions in his will, recorded Mar 1794 in Madison Co., KY, the will of one Cornelius Dabney, who must have been of a different generation than the man whom you research [note the gap in years]. The deduction is that Christopher's first wife was Mary Dabney, and that a later Cornelius Dabney may have been her father [not much if any of this tradition has been proved adequately]. Indeed, the will of Harris lists the children of his first marriage (wife unnamed) and the children of his second marriage. The eldest son was named Dabney Harris. It was in connection with the children of the first marriage that the will of Cornelius Dabney was mentioned. Here is an extract of an early land grant as found on the Library of Virginia website - Land Records I cut and pasted it and the formatting may be garbled. Look at the LVA website yourself. Quite a few Dabneys, including at least one female, are listed, either as patentees or as neighbors. It seems that several patented land on or near Pamunkey River. _Dabney, Cornelius._ (javascript:open_window("http://ajax.lva.lib.va.us:80/F/UDAPA6AY3I5KHPNU88D76921V111JQGXBIPP7413626AQPDN7H-02297?func=service&d oc_number=000743557&line_number=0006&service_type=TAG");) Publication 10 December 1724.

Cornelius Dabney was an Anglican. He was a vestryman at St. Peters church. He also was not a Huguenot, he was an Englishman of Norman descent.
