Christian Funeral Home has been closed for at least 20 years. It was in a unique pie-shaped building which I believe is now an apartment building. Because of its proximity to the old Sutherland-Brown Funeral Home which was later taken over by the Woody Funeral Homes, I'd recommend calling a Woody Home, to inquire where LT Christian records may have gone. Start with the Woody Laburnam Chapel. It's the oldest, I believe.

I believe they are both brothers. Below is what I have found on them. I noticed you showed a Sampson P. GRAY & Samuel P. GRAY. My line goes down to a son named Noah GRAY (b.07 Oct 1811, NC). Noah's son is James P. GRAY. I Here's what I have on them: I am looking for the families of Sampson Gray, Samuel Gray, & William Gray, who are the only GRAYs listed in the 1830 Henry Co., AL Census. See, my Gray line goes back to Henry Co., GA. My ggg-grandparents are Noah GRAY (b. 07 Oct 1811, NC) & Mary FIELDS (b. abt 1815, poss GA). They married on 26 Aug 1830 in Henry Co., GA. There is a possibility that my Noah was married before to Louise CARPENTER abt 1829, Henry Co., GA but it appears Louise may have died in 1830. (I'm not sure about the info on Louise Carpenter) Noah Gray shows up in the following Census: 1840 Henry Co., GA Census- District #498, pg 314. 1850 Noah GRAY is in Russell Co., AL, pg. 68A, H.H. #1943 1860 Noah's widow Mary GRAY is listed in Russell Co., AL., pg. 883, H.H. #177 1880 Noah's widow: Mary Gray is listed in Lee Co.,(was part of Russell Co.),AL, Beat 7, pg 171A, H.H. #127,living with her son, Joseph B. GRAY. Noah GRAY & Mary FIELD's children are: 1. Bannetta b. abt 1834, Henry Co.,GA 2. George b. abt 1836, Henry Co.,GA 3. Thomas b. abt 1839, Henry Co., GA 4. Andrew Jackson b. abt 1841, Henry Co., Ga 5. Rachel b. abt 1845, Russell Co., AL 6. Mary Ann b. abt 1847, Russell Co., AL 7. John b. abt 1849, Russell Co., AL 8. James P. b. abt 1850, Russell Co., AL 9. Noah b. abt 1854, Russell Co., AL 10. Joseph B. b. 20 Dec 1857, Russell Co., AL My problem is trying to figure out who is Noah's father. In the 1830 Henry Co., GA census there are three Gray families listed. William Gray pg. 215 Sampson Gray pg. 209 Samuel Gray pg. 204 Note: James FIELDS is listed on pg. 206 (in between Samuel & Sampson GRAY) --------------------------------------- Of these three men, William is not one of the ones I'm looking into. pg. 215 William shows: Men Women 30-40 20-30 1 1 ...so William is not likely my Noah GRAY (b. 1811's) father. I do notice though that a FIELDS family is listed just two households away from William. ---------------------------------------- pg. 209 Sampson GRAY Sampson GRAY (b. 20 March,1785, NC) married Rachel SHELBY(b. 23 Sept 1785) between 1801-1811. He drew in the 1827 GA Land Lottery REPRINT of OFFICIAL REGISTER of LAND LOTTERY OF GEORGIA 1827 52d DAY'S DRAWING-May 5 HENRY. page 162 Fortunate Drawers: Sampson Gray, Captains District: Grays Number: 128 District: 20 County: Lee County Sampson GRAY shows up in the following Census: 1830 Henry Co., GA pg 209. 1840 Henry Co., GA - District #498, pg 315....just one page over from my Noah GRAY 1850 Henry Co., GA - Div. 42, pg. 233B, H.H. #661 1860 Henry Co., GA - pg. 920, H.H. #985 1830 Henry Co., GA Census: Male Females Under 5 5-10 15-20 20-30 40-50 5-10 10-15 40-50 2 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 My Noah GRAY (b. 1811) would fit here! 1840 Henry Co., GA Census: Male Females 5-10 15-20 50-60 15-20 20-30 40-50 2 1 1 1 1 1 1850 Henry Co., GA Census lists: Gray, S. 65 M Farmer $1,000 NC Gray, R. 65 F NC Gray, M.S. 30 F NC Gray, J.S. 28 M NC Gray, O. 25 F GA Gray, W.A. 20 M GA Posey, C. 16 F SC 1860 Henry Co., GA Census lists: Gray, Sampson 75 M Farmer $1,200 / $600 NC Gray, Rachel 75 F NC Gray, Margaret30 or 40? F NC Gray, Orphia 23 or 33? F GA Gray, Johnathan 38 M GA I also found on Volume 7 of Family Tree Maker someone had submitted: Sampson GRAY (b. 20 March,1785, NC) married Rachel Shelby(b. 23 Sept 1785) between 1801-1811. It showed only Merrill GRAY listed as a child of Sampson GRAY and Rachel Shelby. Merrill GRAY (b. 18 Aug, 1813, NC, d. abt 1851) married Minerva COOPER (b. 04 Apr 1816, d. either 04 Jan 1865 -15 Mar 1906) bet 1832-1837 in possibly Henry Co., GA. Merrill GRAY and Minerva Cooper show as having one daughter: Mary Amanda GRAY (b. 16 Aug 1837, d. 1933) It appears that Minerva Cooper GRAY is buried in the FIELDS Family Cemetery, Henry Co., GA, possibly near the town of Hampton. Because of Minerva being in the "Fields Family Cemetery" and my ggg-gnmother is Mary Fields who married Noah GRAY, I think there is a connection here. ------------------------------------------------------------ pg. 204 Samuel GRAY I don't have much on Samuel but from your message, it appears that you might info on this line. I hope you have on Sampson and William GRAY, also. Samuel GRAY 1830 Henry Co., GA Census: Male Females 5-10 15-20 40-50 Under 5 30-40 3 1 1 1 1 My Noah GRAY (b. 1811) would fit here, also! ------------------------------------------------------------ pg. 206 James FIELDS I suspect my MARY FIELDS (b. abt 1815, SC or NC) may be the daughter of the James FIELDS listed between Samuel (pg 204) & Sampson GRAY (pg 209)in the 1830 Henry Co., GA Census, on pg. 206.

(b. abt 1818, GA) listed in 1850 Russell Co., AL Census, Beat #5, pg. 38A, H.H. 518, that was NOT listed in the Alabama Census Index Book, nor in the Ancestory.com index file for 1850. 1850 Russell Co., AL Census, Beat #5, pg 38A, H.H. #518 Thomas GRAY 31 Mechanic $300 NC Lenna 32 GA William 10 AL Caroline 8 AL Mary 6 AL Emiretta 4 AL Thomas 2 AL Alonzo 1 AL Sampson BROWN 23 Mechanic GA Do you have any info on this Thomas GRAY's Family?

We’ve just started a Gibbs Surname DNA Project using the services of FamilyTree. The projects goal is to help Gibbs genealogists test long held theories and family traditions. By determining which lines are related we will be able to validate existing research, and identify where we should invest our time. Finally it will allow descendants of the Gibbs who left Europe to identify cousins whose ancestors remained behind. It is important to have one or two participants from as many Gibbs lines as possible. We’ve set up a webpage for the project: http://home.arcor.de/unity9/Gibbs/DNA.html If you’ve hit a brick wall please join us.

Can anyone tell me about the family of John Hardwick b ca 1690? Pete Apple

Hi, Steve, The first thing you try to find out is what units were from Augusta Co. There is a website, I believe, that can tell you this. Try to Google "Civil War Units, Virginia". When you find out which possible units he was in [there may be two or three companies - infantry, cavalry, artillery...], you could either try to find a book on that regiment on Jeff Weaver's webpage [he sells - and/or writes? - civil war books by regiment and company, which have rosters in them]. OR you could get the National Archives' microfilm for those units' rosters and pay records which are alphabetical by surname, and, from this, learn his entire recorded history during his CW service! This is amazing and it is FUN! Microfilm available thru Mormons or on interlibe loan from Libe of VA or any other library which would have VA confederate CW state militia records. Another way to track down your Mr. Robertson is by using the surname index reel in the National Archives' military microfilms for the CW. If someone on the Henrico mail list can get you this info from the Library of Va, it is there as well. They could try to identify the number of the film your ancestor's records are on, then you could order the film thru interlibe loan. Once you know which unit he was in, and other such info, you can get a copy of his records direct from the National Archives, or you can xerox them off the film yourself if you can find a film reader that does that. You will need to go to NARA's webpage and see what info they require on the application. Once you get an application from them and send it in, they will send you his service and pension records [separate applications required for each]. If you live near a Mormon genealogy library [or family history center, as they call it], they may be able to help you obtain this info from National Archives [aka "NARA"]. Hope this is clear - if not, ask questions! Good luck! Marge in VT << It is believed that Alexander G. Robertson was born in Augusta County, VA - date unknown. He married Nancy Winter Hanger February 6, 1851. She was born April 27, 1825, in Augusta County. Family tradition says at the outbreak of the Civil War he was commissioned an officer in a Virginia regiment and rose to a colonelcy before the war's end. Later Nancy and he moved to Richmond, where he practiced law. Nancy died in Richmond, November 14, 1905. I am attempting to verify Alexander's military service. I do not know when he died, or where they are buried. I live in Indiana and would appreciate some help. >>

Anne, The Gaines Mill battle was in Hanover Co., VA. It's off of Cold Harbor Rd. in Mechanicsville, Va. It was part of the seven days battles. Oakwood Cemetery burials are on microfilm at the Library of Va. and probably you can get them at your local FHC. I don't know if the burial records include the Civil War soldiers or not. Hope this helps.

Just a thought for your search.... The World Almanac, as I remember, had a section on actors and actresses. I'm not sure when it began to be published, but perhaps you could find a biography of Julia in one of the earlier editions? Otherwise, I would Google that name [I think someone already suggested that] and see what pops up. Perhaps Faye was her stage name and Cornell her real [or married] name. The World Almanac lists the actor by stage name and gives his/her real name as well. Good luck! Marge in VT << Looking for information on Julia Faye the silent movie actress. She was born Sept 24 1893 in Richmond Va. She died April 6 1966 in Woodland Hills Ca. her father was born in Mass and her mother was born in Indiana. I also have name Cornell. Don't know if this was her birth name or maybe a married name.>>

<< Have you checked the records in Prince George? In 1702 Prince George was formed from the eastern side of Henrico. >> Just to clarify, I believe Prince George would be the southeastern portion of Henrico. Charles City County is directly to the east of Henrico.
