Thank you, Ruby. Joel Estes' place of death as TN was a complete error I had entered in my database. I have Joel Estes as far as the census of 1870, and he was living alone in Louisa County, recorded there as 75 years old. Earlier, in the 1860 census, Joel's adult son Benjamin Estes was living with Joel in Louisa Co.. They are recorded four dwellings from Agnes Bibb (age 90), who was living with son Richard Bibb. Also in 1860 Joel Estes is recorded as living one dwelling from Charles Timberlake, age 39. I do not know where this Charles fits in with the Timberlakes, as I don't have him in my database yet. So I guess I must have pulled the death location of Joel Estes out of the air----senior moment #570. Regarding Joel Estes' wife Elizabeth Bibb: I didn't have Fannie as an AKA, but I had an AKA for her as Betsey, which is how she was named in her father Benjamin's will. I also have another AKA as being Nannie, but I am ashamed to say that I didn't record the source. <!:-/ I know that Joel's wife was Elizabeth, because of the land transaction of 13 Oct 1838 that begins, "Joel Estes & Elizabeth his wife of Louisa. . . ." I didn't have anything on the Talleys & Brockmans---thank you for the information. And thank you for correcting my death location for Joel Estes. Sometimes someone just needs to step in and save me from myself. :-) Warmest Regards, Donna

Hi Anne - Thanks for your reply! I have checked my data bases and found there are many Smiths connected to the Estes/Eastes lines including several John Smiths but not the right time period. I also show a Smith Anderson connection but still, it's the wrong time period. 1. JOHN1 SMITH He married SARAH ANDERSON. Child of JOHN SMITH and SARAH ANDERSON is: i. BESSIE MYREE2 SMITH, m. HERMAN STRUNK, 1923; d. Apr 1986. Our immigrant ancestor Abraham Estes, Father of John Estes Sr, - migrated into King & Quen Co., VA in 1675. We have confirmed records of his line back to Nicholas Ewstas born 1495. In Deal, County Kent, England. But we are seeking more information on the Estes families in VA. Abraham Estes had 13 children and they were also very prolific and can be found in many VA early Counties. Since John is my 5th g-grandfather, I am trying to round out our records on him his wife Elizabeth (Nutty) Pickett or his children Thanks again for your reply!

Donna, below is what I have on a Joel ESTES. I have this one marrying Fannie BIBB rather than Elizabeth BIBB. Is this a different one but perhaps in the same family? Of course I am interested in the TALLEY connection but also the BIBBs as I descend from both families. I also have from another source that Joel ESTES who married Elizabeth BIBB died in 1871 in Louisa Co, VA. I am confused and I hope you can clarify some of this for me. Ruby Talley Smith _rubygem@aol.com_ (mailto:rubygem@aol.com) Joel ESTES. Joel married Fannie BIBB, daughter of Benjamin BIBB IV and Agnes TATE. Fannie was born 20 Jan 1800. They had the following children: + 2 F i. ESTES. Second Generation 2. ESTES (Joel). ESTES married John BROCKMAN. They had the following children: + 3 F i. Lillian B. BROCKMAN was born 1869. Third Generation 3. Lillian B. BROCKMAN "Lily" (ESTES, Joel) was born 1869. Lily married Cutler Linwood TALLEY Sr, son of Robert Cole TALLEY and Louisa F. TURNER, on 12 Jan 1897 in Louisa Co, VA. Cutler was born 1869. He died 21 Nov 1935. RESIDENCE: The home of Cutler Talley was 1.9 miles NE of Ellisville on Rt 651 in Louisa Co, VA. The town of Ellisville was once a thriving place, but has since moved across the river into Orange County and all the old buildings have disappeared. The home was raided by Federal troops during the Civil War. The property was previously owned by John Brockman and before that by Joel Estes. CENSUS: 1930 Louisa Co, VA They had the following children: 4 F i. Ida M. TALLEY was born 1897. 5 M ii. Cutler Linwood TALLEY Jr was born 13 Jan 1906. He died 6 Nov 1993 in Louisa, Louisa Co, VA. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

If one has a surname like Jones or Smith or Harris, it helps to have an unusual given name, and perhaps that is how Estes got her name!!! On another rootsweb list, we had a discussion about unusual given names, and a lot of people wrote that an ancestor--or even a living relative--was named for the family doctor. I spent a good deal of time trying to determine why one of my ancestors, with a common surname, had a middle name of Farrar. I did discover that in a previous residence in Virginia, one of the tithables in his grandfather's home was a person named Farrar. There may have been a relationship, but to date, I have not discovered it. When the third baby came to my family's home, my parents pulled a name out of a hat. No relationship but... they had worn out family names on the first two children!!! E.W.Wallace ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

You wrote: Does anyone have any information about Mary Anne Kennon who was the wife of Samuel G Richardson? She was born about 1815 and married Samuel in about 1831 they lived in either Goochland or Fluvanna County. I have tried for many years to find her parents. Thanks Pat Response: In response to your question, I wonder whether you might find the three volumes of the so-called The 1787 Census of Virginia of help in locating the parents of your Kennon lady? (The lady herself seems to have not been born yet.) Although the date of this resource is earlier than the marriage you list, Kennon seems to be a relatively unusual name for Virginia in that time period. If it is not, then consider that other Kennons [may be misspelled--look for Cannons also] may be relatives. Frequently, we are looking in the wrong place when we do research. People--and county boundaries--were constantly changing. The so-called 1787 Census of Virginia is a compilation by Netti Schreiner-Yantis and Florine S. Love. It is NOT a census, but in many ways, it is superior to the 1790 published censuses which I have viewed. There is a personal property [not real property] tax list of nearly every county in Virginia in 1787, including what is now Kentucky and what is now West Virginia--and whatever other territory Virginia claimed in 1787. (She claimed a lot!! But that may have been earlier.) This is how I use these books--when I am at a library which has these three volumes. The 3rd volume is the index to the preceding two thick volumes [small print with a lot of white space for columns]. I go to the index, photocopy the pages which contain my surnames--looking for variant spellings, as invariably the names are misspelled. (Even names ending with s have the final s dropped, putting the name in a different Soundex code.) Then I use these photocopies of the index pages to locate families on every page which is listed in the index. Even though they may not be my people--who knows? By being more careful the later times I used these books, I found my Harris ancestor had personal property in two jurisdictions--Albemarle Co., VA and Madison Co., KY. It was the latter place where he died, but still he must have owned property in Albemarle Co. because there is a probate case there and furthermore, his widow, gave power of attorney to the eldest son of the second family to care for the legal matters in Albemarle Co. I think the reason we fail to find our relatives is that 1) we don't watch the misspellings and 2) we are looking in the wrong places. People were always moving--tobacco wore out the land, and the second and younger sons may not have inherited the land in Virginia. The 1787 Census may be hard to find in most libraries. You may have to seek a genealogical library--or even the Library of Virginia or the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The latter library may be less costly to order material. If you search the Form section on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) [use the find toolbar], you will find a drop-down menu on the left side [eventually]. Click on *sort by title* Then click on R - when an alphabet appears. Request for Photocopy is what you are requesting. Follow the instructions, which are pretty clear, but read carefully. Fill out that form, send a check, and WAIT. It used to be that priority was given to these mail-in requests to FHL, but the FHL has had huge layoffs a few years ago. So things might be a mite slow. Perhaps the Allen Co. Indiana Public Library at Fort Wayne, IN may have these volumes, and they do a mail-order process. They have a website and brag that they are one of the largest genealogical libraries in the United States. What you are asking for are copies of the index pages for the surnames you seek in Virginia about this time period. I hope you find your people. After several decades, I am still searching for a LOT of mine. I generally stumble over them when looking for someone else!!!

Quite a few queries have appeared in the last few days about various families of Louisa Co.. I do occasional research in colonial [pre-Revolutionary] Louisa Co. and some of its adjoining counties. Suggestion [almost a demand] Give us some dates in your queries. I don't know whether your folks were in Louisa in the 20th century or in the 18th century. I might help with some of the latter folks. Always remember--almost EVERY county in Virginia had a parent county. (Not all-but as you get farther away from the Tideland, then the counties were huge but soon divided as soon as they could get their acts together.) Most the time, the quick way to determine what the parent county is is to go to the Family History Library catalog on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) Type in the county [without the word county] and the State, and there will be about one sentence about the formation of the county. For colonial folks [again, prior to the American Revolution, for the most part], I highly recommend that you go to the Library of Virginia webpage [the one which ends *what we have*] and search for your surnames. Note the neighbors, the date, the watercourse, and any other landmarks. My experience is that these online abstracts sometimes leave out details which may appear in the abstracts found in the eight volumes of Cavaliers and Pioneers. I understand there are some late [1782 or so] tax lists on that same LVA website. Mostly my folks had left Virginia by that time. Thanks for giving us some dates in your queries.

Hey Lois, First, I would make sure the cemetery is noted on your plat and that it is reserved in the deed. I would ask at the courthouse how to go about doing that. Make sure you document the cemetery yourself, with gps, photographs and a map of the known graves within the cemetery, just in case. Make sure your family member know who is there. Give a copy of your documentation to the historical society or the VHS or LVA to make sure it is available for future generations. Beyond that, I don't know how you can prevent it being moved in the future.

Is anyone researching the Carver family from Louisa and Stafford? I have information from various researchers that say our line is descended from Captain William Carver, through his son, Richard. I'd like to correspond with any one who has Cornelius Carver in their line. I have exchanged messages with Lucy Carver, who is descended from James, a brother of Cornelius. Also, with Phillip Lawson, who has done extensive research on the Carvers and Lawsons. I am interested in hearing from anyone else concerning the Carver family. Bernice Thompson
