Thompson by his first wife -the mother of the neice received the information via the grapevine, and immediately set off to fetch the 'young lady' home."

The men jealously guarded their right to remain in their home area as a solemn promise, throughout the war, even while the infant Confederate States crumbled around them. The 64th Virginia Infantry was formally created on December 14, 1862, by the consolidation of the 21st and 29th Battalions of Virginia Infantry. The Regiment was reorganized September 1, 1863 at Cumberland Gap and became known as the 64th Virginia Cavalry.

This Regiment will now have to be numbered as a new Virginia Regiment laying aside its battalion number (21). The muster rolls of the old Battalion's companies have of course been returned heretofore but I thought it would be preferred that all should be forwarded at the time the regimental organization was completed.

I have been trying to find the parents of my ancestor, Baird Thomas, who was b. about 1847. He was living in Harlan Co., Ky when I found him but he may have come from Virginia. I have seen the Thomas name in the early Lee Co., Va census. Baird m. Deborah Jane Brock in 1871. Their dau. Melinda m. Carr B. Vaughn whose grandfather, John Vaughn, came to Harlan Co., Ky from Lee Co., Va in late 1830. The families may have known each other before moving to Harlan County. Two of Bairds daughters, Regina and Lugina, m. brother's John and Lee Cooper of Lee Co., Va. Does anyone on the List know anything about Baird Thomas? If so, I would appreciate hearing form you. -----Original Message----- From: Lonnie [mailto:info@eprofitsys.com] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 12:46 PM To: VALEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [VALEE-L] REISS RIESS of PA and Joseph R.

Don't forget that the 550 page 1992 Lee County Bicentennial Book contains a wealth of personal family stories and information. Donna

Judy, The book, "Families of Lee County" was mentioned a few days ago on this list. Sorry, can't remember by whom. I, personally, had never heard of the book. I thought, perhaps that this person was talking about the "Early Settlers of Lee County and Adjacent Counties" book. Carline :) cagee@ntown.net

Thanks for the info I looked in my line the only one I saw wasWilliam Farley but the dates weren't the same but a lot of my family was from the area.

The cemetery is small, run down and on a hill in the middle of now where. I think the land once belonged to a man name Frank Hicks. It's in Lee Co., VA near the Powell River. If you stand in the cemetery and look down the hill you can see the river. It's truly a beautiful place. Thanks, Sherry

I did not know there was a book called Families of Lee County. Is this the same book as Early Settlers of Lee County? If so, the Early Settlers book is no longer in print and there are no plans to have reprint. If they are different books, I would like more information on the "Families" book. Carline :) cagee@ntown.net

EARLY SETTLERS OF LEE COUNTY VA AND ADJACENT COUNTIES, VOL. I & II are out-of-print. The authors are deceased, I believe, and the surviving family won't reprint them. You can check with your library and see if they can get them on inter-library loan. Kim

I would also like to know if the Families of Lee County book is available.
