Hello, I understand from recent posts that the marriage book does not have marriages prior to 1830. Are there marriage records in Lee Co. prior to that date? Looking for the marriage record of Arthur McTee and Nancy Jane Wallen listed in the Lee Co. VA 1830 census. Gale

Thomas Stewart and wife Sarah. Their daughter Margaret married John Russell Jr. Do you have any information for me on the Stewart family. Anita

I do not know if my Rogers are in these Lee Co. books or not--Adenstone(Denson), William, James, Thomas, Doswell/Dauswell. However, I am in the process of profiling these families myself in the effort to put disjointed families together for all of the novices who eventually will end up in Lee/Scott Cos. It is a staggering amount of people so far whose roots come back to these two counties. I also have found that if you don't leave a lot of relatives in a place or if they aren't interested in genealogy, you aren't going to find your families in the county history books. The movers and doers seem to be in these books. To have your genealogy on the Lee Co. web site or written into books takes time and effort. I am presently documenting these Lee Co. Rogers with records--census, tax, land tax, deeds, court cases, etc. I am NOT using Ancestry.com, etc. from the net as these websites are far from accurate. If everyone would document what they had and sent it to a central location like Edgar, we could have a clearinghouse. If you want some data, you can't wait for someone else. If you will build a documented foundation, others WILL COME with their data and add it. Then when you come to Lee Co. you will find data on your surnames. Just sitting around waiting for it to appear on the Lee Co. web site or talking about it not being on the website is just not reality. Genealogy does not come at the push of a button. It comes from hard work and long hours of researching. Also, I do NOT own a computer. I have been doing genealogy since 1968 and I still do it the old fashioned way. It took! years to learn the skills necessary to be a good researcher. Today people are thinking all you have to do is turn on the computer. It just isn't so. When I have gotten enough data together, I am sending it to Edgar. If any of you are Rogers researchers, I will be glad to try and help you. And, remember that many of the records are on microfilm and can be obtained thru Inter Library Loan. Many of the Lee Co. books are no longer found when you go to the courthouse. Many of them will not survive much longer as they are getting close to 200 years old and are in poor condition. So don't wait for someone else to do it for you. Let's all work together on saving Lee Co. history today for tomorrow may be too late. Good luck to all of you on your researching. Eleanor (Sorry, I get carried away. It must be from being a school teacher for 33 years. LOL)

Hello All: Some of you may be familiar with my website Hills and Hollers http://www.hillsandhollers.net It was originally started as a cooperative project between myself and the Wise County VA Genealogical Society. As time passed, the information from the Wise County Genealogical Society slowed to a trickle so I expanded the site to cover most any county in the Southwestern VA area. The site still concentrates on Lee, Scott, Wise, Russell, and Buchanan counties. There are also some records and family genealogical files posted there as well. I recently completed helping a dear friend complete a nearly 600 page manuscript of her family lines. It is posted on the site. In the latest threads of postings here, there seems to be a common theme that online information about Lee County is difficult to find. You are correct. I hope that I can increase the amount of information about Lee County and the families that settled there and may even still be living in the area. So....what does all this mean? I will offer to post anyone's historical or genealogical information on Hills and Hollers at no cost. If you are using Family Tree Maker, I can privatize your file (anyone not having a death date will show no personal information) You can remove the information anytime you desire. I can also post text files, scanned images, etc. Please take the time to consider this offer and to wander about the Hills and Hollers site. I'd appreciate comments. Sincerely, Wayne Duncan Hills and Hollers WebMaster www.hillsandhollers.net

Sheila, Thanks for giving me Almelda's last name. I found them on the 1860 Wise County Census and it said her name was Almelda H. Blanton, age 30. Thank you for giving me his parents names also. The birth date I have for John Blanton of abt. 04/1832 was obtained from the Wise County GenWeb site on the record of his death 08/18/1867. As for children of John and Almelda Blanton, I don't have a Catherine or William. The children I have I got from the 1860 Wise County Census and from pages of a book photocopied for me on the Wells family of Wise County by Charles Rayburn Wells, so it might not be totally correct. Here are the children I have for John and Almelda Blanton: Elizabeth, b.abt 1849 Mary A., b. abt 1851 George, b.abt 1853 Isaac J., b.abt 1854 Malissa, b.abt 1855 Jessee, b.abt 1857 Sarah, b.abt 1858 James F., b.abt 1860 John, b.abt 1863 Robert, b.abt 1866 The only ones I have marriages on are: Isaac J. Blanton m.Ellen J. Wells 10/28/1879 in Wise County, Va George Blanton m.Arra Hunsucker ? Malissa died in 1872 of Fever at 17 years of age. That's it. Thanks for your information.

Peggy, I have looked in the first volume of Lee County Settlers and found many pages on Stewarts. The name was also spelled: Stuards and Stuarts. Can you supply a year and maybe a first name? I would be glad to see if I have the information in the cemetery record books. I only have volume two and three. Volume one contains vast information on settlers of Lee County. You may want to ask for those records also. I also have the Bi-centennial book of Lee County. Glad to help. You may want to contact Edgar Cress. He has a wealth of information at his finger tips and he is also the Corresponding Secretary with the Lee County Historical & Gen. Society.

I am looking for the Dr. Stewart record of Lee Co.................... Does this appear in vol. 1.Thanks....Peggy
