You can look that up on the new posting. In the 1870 Census Index for Louisa published by Precision Indexing I do not see a Washington T. Ogg. These are only the 2 sources I looked at. Janice A.

James Brooks and his wife Caroline are enumerated in the 1850 Louisa Co. census, ages both age 29, in household #1115. Not far away, in household #1108, are Elhana [Elkanah] Brooks, age 59, his wife Sarah, age 53, and four children ages 27 and under. These look like prime candidates for James's parents. On 9 Sept. 1850 Susan Ann Brooks, dau. of Elkanah Brooks, married Julian Wiltshire of Hanover Co., son of William. Sureties were Robert S. and William Wiltshire. Since your James Brooks married a Caroline Wiltshire, this looks like two siblings marrying into the same family. Ann V. Brooks wrote: > > Looking for parents of James Brooks (above) d. 1896 in VA.

Looking for parents of James Brooks (above) d. 1896 in VA. He married Caroline F. Wiltshire 12/l5/1840 in VA. Have nothing further on Caroline. Their children are: Matthew Thomas, Sabra (Sarah), Martha, Elkhannah, Nancy F., James T., William B., John H., Sarah Caroline, Robert and Frank Brooks. Any birth, death or marriage information will be greatly appreciated. Frank

Seeking information on parents of James Brooks, above who died in 1896 in Va. He was married to Caroline F. Wilshire about 1840. Also looking for information on Caroline no birth date known. Their children: Matthew Thomas, Sabra (Sarah), Martha, Elkhannah, Nancy F., James T., William B., John H. Sarah Caroline, Robert and Frank Brooks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Frank

According to "The Brooks of Virginia" by Bruce Edwards (who died in 1991) James BROOKS was the s/o Elkanna BROOKS (1791 - 1880) & Sabra LOYDE. He says, "James BROOKS was born in 1821, possibly late 1820, and was about 20 when he married Caroline WILSHIRE in Goochland County on 15 December 1840. His father gave his consent, as he was not yet of age. He took his bride back to Louisa County where they proceeded to raise a large family of eleven children over the years!" The account of the family goes on. He says Elkanna was born in 1791 and married Sabra LOYDE on 10 Nov 1818. She was the d/o Thomas LOYDE. Elkanna was the s/o John BROOKS & Nancy ATKISSON who were married 28 Oct 1790. Hope this helps, Ruby Talley Smith

Frank; I can't give you anything specific but I can give you some BROOKS that were married in Louisa Co, VA between June 1784 and August 1803 that would have some potential for being the parents.

Hi Bev, I also have had an experience with "inmate" describing one or more children. Below you will find my g-gf's family from the 1860 Louisa Census, and Robert and others are listed as "Inmate". This record can be found on image 835. (I wrote the relationship for the people listed). Also, Robert E. was killed four years later, during the Civil War, at Spotsylvania Courthouse. If you know what the heck that means, please let me know. Thanks, Wayne Dunn [email protected] 1860 Census Louisa Co. VA; Fredericks Hall Pg= 71 / 835, Family=527/527 Dunn, Thos.

Hi Ruby, I realize this doesn't answer your question about children, but the 1850 Census shows two William Ogg's. The first is 8 years old (would be 31 in 1873), and is the son of Benjamin & Agnes Ogg. The other William was 7 years old (30 in 1873) and is the son of Samuel & Lydia Ogg. I have been "tinkering" with the Ogg name because they owned property adjoining my ancestors in Trevilians. I believe the Samuel Ogg I mentioned above may have been the son of another Samuel Ogg, as I came across information (somewhere?) about him dying and the property being split among his heirs. Some of the deeds I have mention Samuel in 1826, 1884 and 1915 (must be two people), Thomas Ogg in 1850, and Robert in 1855. The Ogg house is mentioned frequently during the Battle of Trevilians. Also, when I was a kid, there was an Earl, Bill and Mary Ogg that lived nearby, but only Mary is still living (probably 80+). I THINK they were brothers and sister. The funny-now, but not-so-funny-then story was they had just come out with the hay-balers that used wire instead of twine, and to save money (the opinion of us kids) he would tighten up the settings so it packed more hay into the same size bale. The wire was strong enough to hold the pressure (twine wouldn't) but it made the bales a LOT heavier!! Good Luck, Wayne Dunn [email protected] > W. T. OGG married Ella A.

Bev

"Wards" were usually written up as "boarders" or "servants" - unless you were looking at a hospital or asylum of some kind, the term "inmate" is inappropriate. Perhaps if you give me a reference (county, ED, page, line, etc) I can look it up Saturday and come up with something.

Hello, I just updated our HANCOCK Homepage late last night if anyone is interested in taking a new peek at it. I have added new generations and more blurbs to it. If you find a connection, we would love to hear from you. This has been an elusive family to trace. http://home.att.net/~davehancock/HANCOCKhis.html Audrey

W. T. OGG married Ella A. TALLEY 9 Dec 1873 in Louisa Co, VA. She was the d/o Anderson TALLEY & Mariah Louisa NUCKOLS. Does anyone know anything about him? Did they have children? Did they stay in Louisa? Thanks, Ruby Talley Smith

Is it possible that they were wards at a home that would today be catagorized as a foster home and were thus considered as inmates?

Thanks everyone for you replies to my question is Dicy a nickname. A consensus of your answers: it is a real name; pet name such as Honey, Sugar, etc.; diminutive of Ludecea; nickname for Diana. Janice

Hi Again, Yesterday I told you about the 1860 Louisa County Census images being added to RootsWeb. Today, since it's raining, I added an index of names for that census. It will list only the Head-Of-Household and the page (image) they can be found on. The index is at: http://www.trevilians.com/cen6ix.htm Good Luck, Wayne Dunn [email protected]
