Norma: Christian France Duncan was my great grandfather. I have photos of the burial sites of both him and Mar Ellen Childress in the Carter Cemetery in Scott County VA.

Sorry Virginia, I do not. Peggy

Sorry Linda, I can't find any information on my Anderson's. Peggy

Ole Paul, got nothing but the message, no information on Finley Anderson - Thanks for the try...Peggy

Gail, thanks for the reply. Very well could be, I know nothing about him. In fact, no one knew his name until several years ago. He fathered (was married to my Great Grandmother) my Grandmother and her brother. He apparently left suddenly and stayed away long enough for my Great Grandmother to divorce him for desertion. She later married Alley Gross.....Any more information you could supply would so very greatly be appreciated. Thanks again - Peggy

Need data on William Roberts. Not sure how many there are. Apparently lived on Blackwater area in the early 1800's. One is on the 1811 deposition mentioned in Chakley's Vol. II. He was born ca 1765 and is thought to be the one married to Catherine Rogers. His father was supposed to have been William Roberts married to Elizabeth Walling. The grandson was supposed to be William b. ca 1787 who married Nancy Porter. So, who is the William Roberts, Jr. married to Sarah "Sally" on the 1818 deeds? Thanks. Eleanor

Peggy & Ginn, Do either of you have info on Morgan Anderson born around 1815 in the Blackwater area? I cannot locate any info on his parents. He is on the Lee county census rolls. Any info would be helpful. You can e-mail me at lindique@aol.com. Thanks. Linda Anderson-Quinonez

They are not completely accurate as to the year the event happened, but you do get a lot of interesting data which in conjunction with the census and the personal property taxes gives you a great deal of info. Many people do not know that they even exist. I believe that VA was the only state to have two sets of tax books. These books are on microfilm in Richmond. Some of the books are already missing from the courthouse in case you go there to research. ------- I've found deed and personal property tax records to be extremely helpful, too. If visiting Richmond or Lee Co. isn't an option, the Mormon Church has microfilmed a large number of these types of records for Virginia counties and the microfilms can be ordered at your near-by Family History Center. You can check what is available by going to http://familysearch.org/ and clicking their online Family History Library catalog. I just now checked Lee Co. and found the following Taxation Records are available: (1) Personal property tax lists of Lee County, 1795-1850 (2) List of taxes payable under the act of Congress of January 1815 on lands, lots, & dwelling houses and slaves within the first Collection District (3) Southwest Virginia tax assessments, 1815 : Grayson, Lee, Scott, Russell, Washington and Wythe counties (4) Deeds by sheriff, v. 4 1/2, 1803-1860 Virginia. Superior Court of Law (Lee County) They have also microfilmed records for birth, marriage, death, probate, census, land & property, poor house and the like. All can be ordered. Margaret

Looking for marriage of J.W. (James Walker) Childress/Childers to Dora Lea ???. Marriage probably took place about 1910. Thank you, Norma Zanetti

Audrey Sorry to be so late replying to your question but I have been out of town and am wading through a lot of messages. Pierce moved to Morgan Co KY between the 1850 and 1860 Census years. He had remarried to Mary Ann Melvin in 1859 in Morgan Co KY. Unsure of the death date of Elizabeth Graham. His name is spelled a little different in the 1860 Census but we have found one of his daughters living with a Rose family. Louisa and Corina married either Williams Brothers or Cousins. We believe that all four of his daughters were in other homes in the 1860 census. In 1870 Mary Ann is listed as head of household. Don't know where Pierce is. 1860 Morgan Co KY Census Pearce Retherford 35 VA Mary A. 25 KY Amanda J. 6 KY Frances 1/12 KY Columbus 9 KY 1870 Wolfe Co, KY Census Rutherford, Mary A. 35 , Amanda J. 15 , Frances C. 10 (female) , Mary R.

Edgar, I have been looking for a marriage record for Eliza Jane PACE, daughter of Edmond Pace of Lee Co VA and Nathan WATKINS. Their first child was born 28 May 1844 in the Rose Hill Dist of Lee Co, which is where the Pace family lived. I was estimating their marriage about 1842 to 1843, and was told that book was missing from the Court House at Jonesville. Do your records cover this period, and if so, do you find them listed? Thanks for your help. Marian

Marie, Thanks, so much for the correction on Rebecca JEAN Grubb and the dates especially. My memory was working a little on Dave Woods. I just couldn't remember which Laster sister.Tomorrow I'm off to the Harris reunion.Looking forward to cousins from Alaska, FL & Washington (state).
