    3. Ernest, I found nothing in that particular book on the Littlepages nor the Winstons in this particular book, but did find several Smiths mentioned/included. All the Smiths mentioned were born mid-late 1800's and are below: John Wesley Smith b.Aug 7, 1871, son of William Henry Smith and Mary Frances Brannan. Like his father, he became a miller and ground corn meal. After his father died, May 8, 1892, he worked at the Haw's Mill at Studley to support his mother and three sisters. At the age of 33, he married Mary Frances Tyler, age 17, on April 27, 1904. He ran, for awhile, the mill known as "Beatties", bu that location did not have a large enough water supply to support his needs. In 1927, he purchased the old mill known as "Gibson's" or "Gilman's" next to Gethsemane Church of Christ. Here he raised seven children to maturity. He was head elder at Salem Presbyterian Church until he died Oct 5, 1969 at age 98. He is buried beside his wife, "Fannie", at Salem Presbyterian Church. Bettie Smith, daughter of William Henry Smith and Mary Frances Brannan b. Dec 19, 1879 at "Quinces Creek". On Aug 16, 1899, she married Joseph Boxley Bowles, a sawmiller, age 22. James Osborne Smith, son of Burrill Smith and Mary Elizabeth Southward. b. Sept 6, 1887 and married at age 22, Selena Lloyd Snead, age 17, daughter of William F. Snead and Mary E. Warden, on March 9, 1910. He died Nov 27, 1965. Buried Smith family cemetery, one mile southeast of Studley Post Office. Willetta Smith, daughter of Burrill Smith and Mary E. Southward. b. Mar 31, 1874. She married James Thomas Gentry, son of Coleman Gentry and Betty Tyler, on May 11, 1909, when he was age 40. Martha "Mattie" E. Smith b.July 21, 1884 to Burrill Smith and Mary E. Southward. At age 22, she married William Preston Tate on Oct 31, 1906 I checked the 1850 Hanover Co Census and found no Littlepages there either. The 1810 VA Census for Hanover Co did list two Littlepages, John and William. Hope this helps! Sheri ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest E.
