Hi Folks, I forgot the subject line, so here it is again. There was a notice in the current issue, February 2008, of the Virginia Genealogical Society Newsletter pertaining to Virginia's chancery records. It states in part: "The Library of Virginia (LVA) is pleased to announce that the digital imaging of the King & Queen, New Kent, and Shenandoah County chancery causes is now complete. The images have been added to the Library's on-line Chancery Records Index at http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/local/chancery/ index.htm and are now available for searching through the LVA web site." You all might want to check the LVA web site and see what's there. Also, the August 2007 VGS newsletter stated that the index and images for Lancaster County chancery records are online at the LVA web site. I know of another county in Virginia that is waiting to get its chancery records digitized at the LVA. It all takes money and we're in a slow economy right now. It would be nice if a fund could be established to get certain counties done and people could donate to the fund for their counties of interest. Regards, Valerie Dibrellion@verizon.net Dibrellion@aol.com

I am still looking for the parents of my PHILIP PORTER B.1759 VA D 1831 IN KY My continual research shows that his Father was in the Military, and I have several possibilties of a few men, but still no proof. Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, as I sent you the other day, the 1870 Mortality Schedule where she is listed is for the year ending June 1 1870. That means she died in Mar 1870. When I did the Death Records for Loudoun County, there were no records at all for 1870. Apparently there were times the state used the money for other things, and there are no records for many if not all counties for certain years. I have been thinking about this. You know I did the Union Cemetery books and in doing so looked at all the records available. There are a number of Confederate burials throughout the cemetery that are in lots that have no ties to the deceased. I think that when a member of the community was killed in the war, and if someone had a lot they were not expecting to use, they would sell it to the family of the soldier. Or maybe even give it to them if the family was not well off. There may not be any connection between Elizabeth and Christopher Lambert. I will email those pages as soon as I go back on Ancestry.

Dear List, My brick wall is Edward Hall born ca. 1735-1740 In Loudoun County, son of William Hall Jr. and Mary. I am trying to prove that he is also the man who lived in Fayette County Pennsylvania (1779-1795) and in Brown County Ohio (1795-1820) where he died. William Hall Jr. died ca. Sep 1750 when William West, Elisha Hall (a Quaker, no known connection) and Henry Taylor inventoried his estate. William’s minor children were Ann, John, William, Edward, Mary, Susanna and Joseph Hall. Upon William’s death, his wife Mary married Sylvester Gardner. His daughter Mary Hall married Dempsey Carroll and moved to KY. Her sister, Susanna, married Samuel Haydon and moved to KY. John Hall, his eldest son moved to Fayette County PA ca. 1783 (tax records, deeds) on land he purchased ca. 1775 (warrant). Deeds and slave exchange prove he is William’s son. After his father died, Edward Hall was apprenticed to Joseph Hutchinson in 1754 and is shown with Hutchinson for several years. On his own, Edward Hall paid taxes in Loudoun County through 1769. Where was he after that? He is not in Rev. War records, perhaps because he was over 40 years old. John Hall, son of William, was living in Fayette County PA by 1783. An Edward Hall was there by 1790. I suspect they are brothers but have no proof. Edward later moved to Brown County Ohio and John’s son Hugh Hall moved to a nearby Ohio County after his father died. John Hall and wife Elizabeth of Loudoun Co VA & Fayette Co PA had proven children from his will: John, Thomas, Hugh, Margaret, Elizabeth, Rose and Sarah Hall. Edward Hall of Fayette Co PA and Brown Co OH had proven children from a deed dispute: Elijah, Phebe, Charles, Anna, John and Mary Hall. Is John Hall the older brother of Edward Hall of Fayette Co PA? There is circumstantial evidence based on time of arrival and deeds in nearby townships where they lived, that they are. If so, where was Edward Hall in the ten years between 1770-1780, years when he married and his children were born? William Hall Sr. (c. 1685-c. 1757) m. Jane. proven children: Thomas, (b. ca 1708) William Hall Jr. (c.1710- 1750) probable children: Moses, John and a daughter Hall who married William Davis. _____________________________________________________________ Click for free info on discount teaching degrees programs. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2221/fc/Ioyw6i4ueZ1oq0WWY9kVHsmW525tQ4ir6FStwZUQLrlxf5zku5wG5Q/

I had wondered if maybe they donated lots to fallen soldiers. If Elizabeth had been or planned to be buried elsewhere, that would explain it. I'm still confused about her?year of death. She was 48 (Bety Hipkins) on the 1850 census and 58 (Elizabeth Hammerly) on the 1860 census. Pat's info from the 1870 Mortality Schedule says she was 59 yo when she died. That would have made her born in 1811 and she had Jacob in 1821. If she was already dead and buried elsewhere with either Jacobs or Hipkins, I can understand the donation?to C. Lambert. Couldn't get the files off ancestry. Might be because I'm not a member. :( Donna -----Original Message----- From: brfrain@comcast.net To: valoudou@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 2:41 pm Subject: Re: [VALOUDOU] Lambert Well, as I sent you the other day, the 1870 Mortality Schedule where she is listed is for the year ending June 1 1870.

Donna, Did some more checking on Ancestry. Christopher Lambert is on the 1850 census in Turners District, Fauqueir County, VA. He appears to be the son of John and Mary Lambert and has a bunch of brothers and sisters. I believe he is 21. He appears again on the 1860 census in Washington DC. Also, under American Civil War Soldiers, his death is given. He was killed at Ball's Bluff 21 Oct 1861. He was a member of Co C of the 8th Infantry Regiment of VA.

Well Julie, that's a hoot! I can't imagine there being a genealogy library in Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles restaurant, although it looks like an interesting place. Surely you sent the wrong website?

Pat, The Baldwin Harle was born in 1767 and his father died in 1769, therefore it wouldn't be in your records.. You came through again!! Your latest information proves that John Harle, the orphan, married a woman named Sarah which matches records in Ky and Va.. It also proves that Baldwin Harle traveled to Washington co. VA. about 1791.. but he sure didn't get paid for enough Mileage! It's 400 miles from Fairfax to Washington co.. If it wasn't so far, I'd go up there and check these things for myself! Thanks Again! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

Pat, would you kindly check for the surname, FREESTONE? Thank you.

Sorry, no Freestone.

Pat, The information you send about John Harle was extremely useful! Thanks! Now, I have one more request.. See if you have any information about Baldwin Harle, an orphan who was supposedly taken in by a man named Raleigh ? Chunn.. Chunn was supposed to be a merchant who traveled to Southwest Va. and TN between 1765 and 1800.. Thanks for any thing you can find! G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.
