Looking for any information on the following names: Zollie Gladys Lawson m. James M. Daugherty b. Oct 17, 1864, d. August 20, 1944. Elizabeth Carroll b. March 15, 1863 d. April 15, 1915, m. James M. Daugherty in ? I have much info on my gfather James, but nothing on Zollie Lawson and Eliz. Carroll. They were all from Lee County, VA. I was born on Wallens Ridge in 1937 to Bradley and Grace Combs Daugherty, but moved away in 1943. I see so many names that I recognize when visiting the VALEE site, and would love to hear from anyone related to or has knowledge of the Daugherty/Combs/Lawson/Carroll/Yeary/Sayers families. Great webpage!

Thanks for everyone's help! Still haven't found Nancy Blair Vance, Thanks Judy for looking in the cemetery books....... only clue I have is "Behind the Rock Quarry" in Wheeler, Lee Co. There may also be a George Vance buried in the same cemetery. Thanks, John

I am trying to find out the death date as well as burial location for a NANCY BLAIR VANCE, born July 6th, 1843 in Russell Co. VA.

Their names were, George, Alexander, david, Andrew Jackson, and John Henry Vance. died in 1933-34, buried in Wheeler Va Lee County "Near Rock Quary

Michael: It's a wonder anyone survived, eh? You asked about "felon" and "erysipelas." I have a couple different lists of old medical terminology. Felon doesn't make the lists, but the dictionary describes it thusly: A painful, pus-producing infection at the end of a finger or tie, near the nail. Erysipelas, according to an old medical terminology list, is a contagious skin disease due to streptococci with vesicular and bulbous lesions; the dictionary describes it as an acute infectious disease of the skin or mucous membranes caused by any of several kinds of streptococcus. I suspect these were quite serious in the days before antibiotics.
