From Cemeteries of Lee Co, VA, Vol. 1, p. 205 Lee Family Cemetery west of Rose Hill, VA: Leonard P. Long, 23 March 1920 -24 Dec 1989; s/o Robert and Hattie Arther Long; h/o Pearl Long Long Claude Long, 1913 - 24 Sep 1994; s/o Robert and Hattie Arthur Long; h/o Ruth Daniel Long I did not find an entry for Pearl Long. Leonard and Claude are the only Longs in the Lee Cemetery listing. Also, note that the maiden name of their mother Hattie is spelled Arther in the first entry and Arthur in the second.

Can anyone tell me the best place to look for records of property ownership in Lee Co, especially around 1890. Also, in Hancock Co, TN. I am trying to locate the exact location of someone at that time and since there was no 1890 Census I thought that I might be able to locate them through other records such as land and tax records. Although VA has some great records on GenWeb, I have had trouble finding many of my ancestors on birth, marriage, death, and land records. Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Sharon

You can order the land tax records on microfilm from Richmond. Crystal P wrote: > > Sharon, > Unfornately, there is not alot of Lee Co records on internet.

Sharon, Unfornately, there is not alot of Lee Co records on internet. Most of Lee Co records are indexed in books. Most of these indexes (if not all) are located at the Lee Co Public Library in Pennington Gap. Most of these indexes were written by Elizabeth Carpenter. Elizabeth is usually in the library on a daily bases. You can call there and see if she is there. She will gladly talk to you and help. Genealogy is her passion. I suggest to anyone researching in Lee County to go the library and get the information from the indexes before hitting the courthouse. Because most of the older records at the court are not indexed. {I worked 7 years at the library}. As for Hancock Co. many records will never be found the court house burnt and many of the records were destoried. Here is a link for what is avaiable. http://www.tngenweb.org/hancock/ Hope this helps in your research.

Deb, Thanks for the information on Mr. Kennedy. Sorry for the delay in responding. I am just now reading my weekend messages. Gloria

Does anyone have the book of wills for lee County? I'm looking for......Lewis Smith.......................app. 471, Oct 1876 thanks..phil smith

Are ALL the records of Lee County on CD? and if so who has them and how much?...............thanks phil

This is great information on the process for land received for a grant. Can anyone tell me if this was unique for VA? I believe my great grandfather received a land grant in KY. I can't find any record of his recording a deed. However, I believe, after his death, his wife may have sold it. There is not enough information on the sale for me to be sure if it was indeed his widow. Judy

There is no rule that says you have to record your land. Many times it is purchased and they pass it along for generations before someone in the family decides to sell the home place. So, you never know how many years it could be from the first entry to the next. Or, if they got a grant, you don't have to record that either unless you want. It only needs to be recorded when you plan to get rid of the property forever. You get it recorded then. If you don't have a good title, there is a problem. You can also check the land tax records as they tell who bought or sold property. phil smith wrote: > > Elisha Smith and family are listed in the 1850 census as having real estate > valued at $1,000 also in the 1850 agriculture census shows he has land 23 acres > improved 86 unimproved > Question.....I can't seem to find the transaction of him acquiring this > land........is there anyone out there that may give me advice on this issue? > phil > > > ==== VALEE Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from the list send your message to <[email protected]> > for individual list messages; <[email protected]> for digest messages. > Then put the word unsubscribe in the subject line and send your message. > > ============================== > Search the US Census Collection.

Is anyone working on the Lewis SMITH line?...Lewis was a Constable in the Jonesville dist 1850s;60s;70s; born abt 1810 Scott or Washington Co. was married to Elizabeth and after her death married (6 April 1866) Catherine Fletcher phil

Phil, First look at wills. And look at his wife family. In those times the wife would not have been allowed to own the land. If her father had left it to her in his will; Elisha would have become the owner not his wife. Also, check to see if he got thourgh a marriage bond. Some bonds included land instead of money. I have seen a groom getting a couple of chickens and goats for the bond..lol. Hope that help some. Crystal Elisha Smith and family are listed in the 1850 census as having real estate valued at $1,000 also in the 1850 agriculture census shows he has land 23 acres improved 86 unimproved Question.....I can't seem to find the transaction of him acquiring this land........is there anyone out there that may give me advice on this issue? phil --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
