Do you know if he was related to a John White of Hanover, around that same time period? Or is this an initial query? One of my ancestors - Samuel Bailey - married John White's widow, Lucy. This is really all I know. Marge Garfield << I am interested in White's. My ancestor was George White, who moved from Hanover County to Barren County, Kentucky in 1798. His son was Edmond/Edmund and wife was Ruth/Rutha/Ruthie. If you encounter any information that might help, please let me know. Thanks, John White >>

Surnames: Thacker Mallory Lane Lam Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VBC.2ACI/1234.1 Message Board Post: Jackie -- You helped me out last fall. Now let's see if I can help you. I believe that 13 year old Edmonia E. Thacker was living with her aunt at that time. (I don't know why.) In the 1900 Hanover Census, the George W. and Edmonia E. Lane household shows 86 year old, widowed Mattie Mallory. She is listed as an aunt with no children. Her age would match what was listed on the census when 13 year old Edmonia was in the household. (Mattie would be an affectionate form of Martha.) I can't tell you anything about 14 year old Albert, but the Lanes and Thackers appear to be a very tight-knit group. In the 1900 census there is also a 26 year old, widowed grandson, M. William Lam. Another question arises! Happy Hunting!

I've just put about 20 or so names from tombstones on findagrave.com. I'm in the process of adding photos (takes awhile on dial-up) and I have a few more to add. I'll keep working my way around the cemetery as often as I can over the next few weeks. Today's names were from the southwest corner, seems to be a Henley family area. I hope this will help someone.

I currently have a photo of the 3 Vass graves that I *know* are there: Luther S. Vass, Susan "Adnie" Brooks Vass and Mollie A.L. Davis Vass. Especially HENRY JACKSON CLAY VASS! But if you go and find any more Vass graves, I would be grateful for photos of them! Especially HENRY JACKSON CLAY VASS ! I already posted a request on Find-A-Grave for Ida Davis [Mollie's sister] but no one has volunteered to get that photo yet. Mollie's parents are John J. Davis and Mary E. Davis. If you saw those 3 members of the Davis Family, I would like photos of them. And now that I know "Adnie" was a Brooks, I'd be interested in her parents Elkanah and Lucerne Brooks if they are there ... the family is growing! What would you say is the nationality of this family with names like: Elkanah, Lucerne, Adnie, Minnie and Sabrie? Thank you Sandy and email me please, Gail

If a person died in 1849 or 1859, it is possible he/she might be listed in the 1850 or 1860 mortality schedule for the State in which he/she died. A recent post on the Hanover Co. rootsweb referred to a female who died 1859. Maybe what I am going to tell you MAY help you solve a problem or two. If your person is listed in a mortality schedule, there will be some information which you have not previously discovered. Several items are given, as I remember: The name of the deceased person, his age, his birthplace, where he died, and what he died of--disease, etc. I do not know whether Ancestry.com, which is at most LDS Family History Centers, has the mortality schedules online or not. Has anyone discovered them online? Comment: I don't spend a lot of time on ancestry.com--it is a time goblin when I should be back in the film room reading ALL those films (deeds, probates, vital records) I have ordered over the decades!!! And finding the right answers as to when a person died, who his heirs/orphans were, and who his widow remarried (sometimes the guardian of the children). I believe, however, if you can find AIS (Accelerated Indexing System) on hundreds of microfiche at your nearby LDS center, you may find the appropriate mortality schedule--1850 and 1860. The description on the URL gives dates beyond 1860. Maybe I had better recheck. Persons who died in the preceding 12 months to the census date were to have been listed. I am sure there are some misses, but I have discovered several great-great-great-grandparents in these mortality schedules!!! Actually, you probably should check ALL your surnames in the 1850 and 1860 mortality schdules which are incorporated in AIS. You might even find a missing child about whom you knew nothing! Ask your volunteer helper at FHC where the AIS microfiche are located in the FHC. If you are good at searching the _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) website, you can find an explanation of AIS. It is a useful tool when you cannot locate someone who may have been on the move since you last saw him/her. How to find out about AIS and its usefulness to genealogists -- instructions on the URL given above. Click on Search button at top of the opening screen of familysearch.org. OR, go directly to Research Helps. Look on the left for a menu which "Sorted By Title" Although AIS would be under A, the research helps beginning with A are already there, awaiting your exploration!!!! AIS is the second listed item--click on that. If you don't understand the explanation, try to grasp a few ideas and then go to your FHC and try it--and teach yourself!!!! All the surnames for the entire US are arranged alphabetically. When the information about AIS shows up: Go down to Search 8, but study all the rest of the entire explanation as you have time. Most of the information is based on the US censuses plus some EARLY tax lists to make up for missing early censuses. Again, you will have to train yourself to use this useful tool.. It is NOT 100% perfect, as is pointed out; in fact, some say the error rate is high, and I know there are lots of duplications in the lists.. But it may be a wonderful people-finder for you. Until the internet showed up, most professional genealogists used AIS to get a handle on a client's families. At your LDS center, you may find a four-page FREE printout--but I may be out of date here. I heard a lecture long ago by a lady who said by using AIS, she discovered how her people migrated from State to State. I have had that same experience. My great-grandfather settled in Texas in 1852. He was born in Kentucky in 1818. Later we had an old letter dated 1845 addressed to him in Vicksburg [spelled Vixburg]. Knowing that was in Mississippi, I checked AIS, and, sure enough, there he was in Warren Co., MS in 1850 census. Further digging revealed he got himself a young [orphaned] bride in 1852 and moved to Texas!!!! That is where he died. I hope you find this genealogical tool useful in your searches!!! Good luck, and pass this info along if you find it useful. E.W.Wallace

Er, actually, it's spelled "Nottoway". I learned that from being corrected so many times for spelling it "Nottaway" myself. -----Original Message----- From: BeLeaf4U@aol.com To: VAHANOVE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 12 Jun 2006 12:55:44 EDT Subject: Re: [VAHANOVE] Re: Nelson Family of Virginia << Have you tired locating her in the Census?
