Many, many thanks to all of you who sent me directions and tips before I left...especially to Hope, anamarie, Ruth, Gail, and Elaine! It was a wonderful trip...the wather was nice and everything was so pretty there. We stopped first at the Isle of Wight Circuit Court Clerk's office and pulled wills and deeds for about two hours...I got 16 documents. Hooray! Then we went into Smithfield... and enjoyed all the Victorian houses. Then we had a delightful lunch at Smithfield Station overlooking the Pagan River. We walked the main street of Smithfield looking into the shops, visited the museum...very interesting, and stopped at the Tourist info office...they suggested that we go on up to Surry and take the ferry right to Jamestown, but this was not an overnight trip. We wished we had planned that however. Then we went to Saint Luke's Church (1632)...super, super. But no cemetery records. One of the stained glass windows was in memory of Joseph Norsworthy and his son Nathaniel Norsworthy. One of my Hodges forebears married a Norsworthy...a somwhat distant connection I'm sure. Anyway it was a really good tour. We live in Virginia Beach. We have lived in this general area for 45 years. And this was our first visit to Isle of Wight. It was great! And from a genealogy standpoint, a big, big success. There were two documents I could not find and I suspect that they are in Richmond. Thank you again for alerting me about things to look for and to do. It's great to have your support. Joan
