In the recently discovered Templer Family Bible (published 1803, belonged to James Templer b. 1751, d. 1847), there is a listing for a person named Thomas Bazzle. We are puzzled by this entry and wonder what connection the Bazzle family had to the Templer family or perhaps to the Trammell family of Esther Templer Trammell who appears to have made this entry. We do note that a John Bazzle/Bazzil was listed in the estate settlement of John J. Templer in 1830-1831. You may see a picture of this page (and others) by going to: _http://www.geocities.com/templerfamily/family-bible.html_ (http://www.geocities.com/templerfamily/family-bible.html) Can anyone shed any light on this person? Thanks, Charlie Templer

Hi Larry.....sorry I hadn't been able to get back to you for a few days, but have been reviewing my large COHAGEN collection to see what I might have to help you learn more about the RUSSELL association. Actually, there are some early prepared graphs/charts of long ago that you might understand better than I, prepared by some RUSSELL/COHAGEN descendants. I will be glad to forward them to you to retain if you would care to supply a mailing address. One of the primary researchers of the COHAGENs (and associated families of Loudoun Co., VA) was a Dale E. Williams who stated that his wife was Laverna "Vernie" Mae RUSSELL WILLIAMS, and who in 1989 was residing in Glendale, AZ (602) 561-0709. Hopefully, someone in that family might be able to help you. And, quite likely, since he was so thorough with regard to the COHAGENs I rather imagine he did a lot of in-depth research on his wife's (and yours?) RUSSELL line, too. She was of that PLEASANT EMILY COHAGEN & JAMES RUSSELL (s/o MAHLON) line...about whom I wrote previously. Another who might have a great deal on the latter family (as she did on the COHAGENs in 1990) was Louise Ivers Ph: 515-244-3095, Des Moines, IA and also there was Patricia Bebernick, Sterling Heights, Michigan...only have a street adress for her, though, but the time period was about the same. Haven't heard from any of these in years, though, but can copy off for you what they wrote at that time if you can't contact them at this late date. Hope this will be of some help, Larry. Rosalie Lucas Hartinger Gulfport, Florida (Yes, almost in the path of WILMA...live around St.Pete..wish us well!)

I am looking for Elizabeth Boyd wife of Samuel. I do not have actually documents in my hands right now but am wanting to say Samuel died circa 1804 Loudoun Co. Va. Elizabeth died circa 1820's. Her sister was Jane who married Thomas Wilson. I have reason to believe Samuel and/or Elizabeth came out of the Berkeley and/or Jefferson Co. Va/Wv area and possibly into Washington Co. MD into Loudoun Co. Va. I believe that Elizabeth and/or Samuel had property ties with the Chinns and Powells in Middleburg Va. I am researching the Wilson family and found a reference to a Wilson family who were heirs of Eliza Boyd. This particular Wilson family was in Prince William Co. Va., Jefferson Co. WV, Berkeley Co. Wv and ultimately in White Co. IL. I believe this Wilson family is connected to MY Wilson line and trying to figure out where this Elizabeth Boyd comes from. If anyone recognizes these counties, and/or surnames connected to your Boyd's would appreciate a contact. Thanks Janean

There is always a lot of talk on the rootweb sites on how to read some of the old handwriting. This site might prove to be helpful. Palaeography Tutorial http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/palaeography/ "Palaeography is the study of old handwriting. This web tutorial will help you learn to read the handwriting found in documents written in English between 1500 and 1800." If you have ever tried to browse through old documents and realized that the handwriting in not as easy to decipher as modern day printing, use the Paleography Tutorial to help with the transcription process. You'll find tips on reading and translating, a Quick Reference section, ten different tutorials of 'varying levels of difficulty' with their associated historical backgrounds and, last but not least, practice documents so that you can become an expert palaeographer yourself. Before exiting, check your skill level by trying to save the woman in the 'Ducking Stool Game.' Fortunately, you can have a second go or the poor woman would be doomed from the start!

Regarding Land Deeds : The following is all I know of my Samuel Russell: In 1754 Samuel Russell is mentioned in the deed [15] of Mahlon Kirkbride, his land being ... "corner to Samuel Russell." In 1755, Samuel Russell buys [16] part of the same tract of land that Mahlon Kirkbride had purchased. I have not discovered where Samuel obtained the land he had next to Mahlon Kirkbride in 1754. However, in 1753, John Hatcher had purchased [17] land next to Mahlon Kirkbride. Sarah Hatcher, the sister of John, is married to a Russell, and Samuel Russell is his neighbor. They all live about 2-3 miles east of the Goose Creek Church, in Shelborne Parish I am going to look at the Albert angle any clue how old Albert may have been at the time he & Melea transferred land.

This is an excerpt from Evelyn Avery's Research Article Who is Sarah, wife of Samuel Russell. I new the name Mahlon rang a bell but not my family line: John McIlhany in 1809 mentions a Sarah Russel who is now the wife of Morris Davis. A Samuel Russell is the executor of his will, [14] and Sarah has a son Mahlon Russell who is inventoried in BK U/32. Our Sarah does not [1] have a son Mahlon. There are several Sarah Russells in Loudoun Co, but the above are too young to be Samuel's wife, and/or NOT married to a Samuel. During the years 1750 to 1790 there is only ONE Samuel Russell on the Loudoun Co rent lists, tithe lists, census, etc. There is one other Sarah here. Sarah Hatcher. In 1754 Samuel Russell is mentioned in the deed [15] of Mahlon Kirkbride, his land being ... "corner to Samuel Russell." In 1755, Samuel Russell buys [16] part of the same tract of land that Mahlon Kirkbride had purchased. I have not discovered where Samuel obtained the land he had next to Mahlon Kirkbride in 1754. However, in 1753, John Hatcher had purchased [17] land next to Mahlon Kirkbride. Sarah Hatcher, the sister of John, is married to a Russell, and Samuel Russell is his neighbor. They all live about 2-3 miles east of the Goose Creek Church, in Shelborne Parish. That Sarah is married to a Russell is provided for us in her father's will. The will [18] of William Hatcher, written 19 Jan 1780, proved 14 May 1781, leaves plantations to each of his 5 sons (John, James, William, George, & Thomas) and an equal share of his estate to his daughter Mary Gibson. To his daughter Sarah Russell, he left 10 shillings, with no explanation. His wife, Ann VanSandt, [19] is unmentioned. In a message dated 10/13/2005 10:00:54 P.M.
