There were at least two sets of brothers in Loudoun named Hector and Oscar: H & O Braden, and H & O Pierce/Pearce. Were there any others? Who were the original Hector and Oscar?

Thanks Gayle

I have passed along your query about Stephens/Stevens to a person more knowledgeable than myself. She should contact you at your email address. Thanks again for asking, Gayle

Just curious, what additional Loudoun county families are you researching? Any Stephens/Stevens in your group? Thanks, Brenda

Unfortunately, it isn't. Boggs is another one of those independent family names with their own sites. I do wonder if some of the census takers did cut the Boggess name "short" at times. The only way we ever know for sure is by knowing the person we're looking for is in a certain area at a given time and the data fits that person. Thanks for asking, Gayle

Is one of the spellings ":BOGGS"? I have several of those. Clyde T.

I'm sorry no, Burgess has not been researched with the family. Thanks for asking, Gayle

In the early 1700's the Boggess family settled in Loudoun County. In an effort to reach their descendants, I am sending the following information: The 15th Annual Boggess Family Reunion will be held in Fredericksburg VA, September 26-29, 2002. All Boggess families descending from the original Robert down thru his son, Henry (d1684/5) and grandson, Henry (1680-1727) and Mary Bennett Boggess are encouraged to attend. As many know, the Boggess names has many spellings, we encourage all to attend. This reunion is held in a different state each year centering on the locations where the Family has settled down thru the generations after leaving VA and WV. Attendees will be coming from numerous states across the US. If you cannot attend every day, please consider attending the Saturday evening dinner. The Reunion will be based at the Wingate Inn in Fredericksburg. Plans: Friday, the 27th a tour of Northumberland County visiting the St. Stephen's Parish Church and family related sites; on Saturday, the 28th a tour of Fairfax County visiting the Pohick Church and family sites; Saturday evening the Family Dinner with speaker; on Sunday morning the family will gather for breakfast before returning to their homes. During these days, a great deal of time will be spent visiting with each other and exchanging information. For more information concerning the Reunion, contact: Gayle Boggess, 23302 Fairbranch Drive, Katy TX 77494-2159, chasb@hal-pc.org.

Hi, The best info I have found on the BURSON family is at Thos. Balch Library. A man named Marsteller has compiled a booklet that has traced our BURSONs from Pennsylvania. They were Quakers who broke off and moved to Virginia in the 1700s. The fine and helpful staff at Balch will help you. Good luck.

Willow Bend Books carries the best selection of genealogical references for Loudoun County (and other northern Virginia counties.) See their website at: http://www.willowbend.net/default.asp Birth/death registration by the counties was not required in Virginia until 1853, and was discontinued from mid-1896 to mid-1911, after which time the State of Virginia issued birth/death certificates. Books on the birth and death registers of Loudoun are available at Willow Bend Books. Books are also available through Willow Bend Books on Loudoun County marriages up to 1880. If you have specific questions, please contact me directly.

We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted some information (from a current eBay auction) about a book which may be of interest to those researching poorhouse records for LOUDOUN County. We also found a very generous look-up service which includes look-ups in that book. Since the auction includes some sort of index of names mentioned in the book -- you may want to read about all of this on our website and also check out the eBay auction. It is Item # 1749468317. (We have NOTHING to do with this auction so puleeez do not flame us about spamming regarding the auction. We are just providing the information for historical research help.) On our page we ask for assistance with information about the availability of the book for regular purchase from the publisher/seller. We would really like to put that information up on The POORHOUSE STORY page for Virginia. DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on VIRGINIA on the table of states. If you have been to the website recently you may have to click REFRESH or RELOAD on the browser to see the new information. There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

In an off list discussion with another member it was mentioned that "John Divine pointed out a lot of the Civil War units had their start from Revolutionary times and obviously War of 1812 did". The possibility was offered that "it was the 57th that was the Waterford people on the WEST side of Catoctin Mtn and the 56th that was the Leesburg people on the EAST side of Catoctin Mtn in Revolutionary times". Questions to the list - by chance does anyone have any reference materials or knowledge that might define the militia units (particularly the War of 1812) from Loudoun by the locations in which they were organized? For instance ...was the 57th comprised of Waterford residents in 1812 - were there other areas or units included - are there records available (other than from NARA)? Thank you for any suggestions or information that you have to offer, Susan McIntyre

I have recently learned that my ggg grandfather, Samuel ANDREW (sometimes spelled ANDREWS), had a 3 life lease from George William Fairfax in Loudoun County. The lease probably was executed c. 1781. I have checked the Loudoun deed index and found no entries for Samuel Andrew(s). Is anyone familiar with other leases (indentures) from this period (i.e., c. 1780) that are recorded in the Loudoun deed books? I know that in other counties such leases were recorded during this same time period. On one occasion, I have seen my ancestor's name written as Samuel Adams on an official document. Playing a hunch, I will appreciate it if anyone with the Loudoun deed abstracts for the period c 1780 - 1790 will check for any Samuel with a surname beginning with "A." If you find such an entry (entries) I would like to know the name(s), and all names mentioned in the specific document. Thanks in advance for your help. Jim Messersmith Rockville, VA

Thank you. Do you have the E-Mail address for that Library? I had it several years ago, but, seemed to have misplaced it. Ginnypin@aol.com
