Marshall, I also have a photo of my grandfather Arthur Hart Brown and Herbert Richardson posing w/ my uncle Hartwell and Robert Richardson (son of John & Lou Richardson) I think I got that right. My email address is pumpkin@iline.com Dawn Brown Richardson

Marshall, I've got my Family Tree Maker working again and the following is what I have on the known Richardson's. I have a photo that I've received with the last 2 months. My Aunt & Uncle forwarded it to me. A lady named Emma Robinson M_ _ _ _? allowed them a copy. In the photo there is a Thomas Richardson being held by Robert Richardson. Are you interested in sharing info and viewing the photo? Yes - for sure this is the same family. When I finally got FTM up, I looked into my notes and my uncle has told me that Thomas Richardson married Gracie Neathery, I just hadn't entered this info in the tree and the names did not ring a bell. I've taken the liberty of adding your new info to my tree. More is greatly appreciated. Do you mind telling me where you are? My aunt and uncle live in NC and I live in Sunny Florida.

Recently I found a note that said my grandfather, Anderson Green, died in Union Level, VA. this would have been between 1915 and 1926. Can someone tell me where to write for a copy of the death certificate and also what paper might have carried an obituary? What cost would be involved with a death certificate? Thanks, Melba Stapleton

I don't see a connection here, but I two Richardson families that I'm researching and will keep your email current until I'm complete. Will let you know later. Dawn Brown Richardson

Oh my goodness! Your email gives me GOOSE BUMPS and brings tears to my eyes. I've been looking for a long time. You have landed a jack pot for me. I find this very strange because I have family in Vance Co., NC. I've been searching on my own and have received lots of info from my uncle and Aunt (the only next to kin - 1st generation) that I have contact with, but I haven't received this info yet. Don't even know if they know. Give me some time to relay this via email to my uncle and see what the out come is. I can't get my Family Tree Maker program up right now - I'm wondering if 2000 had an affect on it. I'm working on this now and I'll be happy for forward all that I have on this family. In the area of George Richardson (my ggg) I have no info. We didn't even know who he was married to. I know of one child, James Robert Richardson who is my (gg) who fathered Alma my grandmother. Alma died in 1958 and I never knew her. More later when I get my Tree Maker working and hear from my uncle. Thanks so very much, Dawn Brown Richardson P.S. I married another Richardson (who is from NC - oh my) and this is what started the whole thing about "maybe I need to know the Richardson side of my family". Is this what makes the world go round?

Hi Martha, I'm afraid I don't have any information on Rachel. I haven't managed to push my Garrett line earlier than 1820 in Granville County, North Carolina so I don't know if we have any connection or not. (In my "free time"<grin>) I am currently researching Edward J. Garrett: The details I have on my Garrett line follow below. He was born 1820 in Granville County, North Carolina. He married ELIZABETH COX. She was born 1830 in Granville County, North Carolina. They semed to have from Granville County, NC across the border to Mecklenburg County, VA. The following are listed together in the VA 1860 census; I believe they are the children of EDWARD GARRETT. Since the Elizabeth would have been 13 when James was born, he could have been Edward's son by a previous marriage. JAMES GARRETT, b. Abt. 1843. VIRGINIA GARRETT, b. Abt. 1850. MARION GARRETT, b. Abt. 1852. JOHN GARRETT, b. Abt. 1854. HUMS (name just a guess, the census record was hard to read) GARRETT, b. Abt. 1856. ALONZO GARRETT, b. April 09, 1859, Granville County, North Carolina; d. September 06, 1935, Mecklenburg County, Virginia. He married MARY SUSAN WILLIAMSON, daughter of JAMES WILLIAMSON and LENA TILLOTSON. She was born November 24, 1861 in Granville County, North Carolina, and died June 06, 1947 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. In 1883, Alonzo and Mary Susan were back in North Carolina. That year Mary Susan inherited a farm from James R. Williamson and she and Alonzo moved back into Mecklenburg County, Virginia. This farm is located (in Virginia) south of Clarksville, Virginia near Stateline Baptist Church. Alonzo and Mary Susan are buried in the Grassy Creek Baptist Church cemetery in Granville County, North Carolina. The Children of ALONZO GARRETT and MARY WILLIAMSON are: LONNIE GARRETT. JAMES H. GARRETT, b. April 27, 1885. MACON LEWIS GARRETT, b. December 13, 1889, Mecklenburg County, Virginia; d. January 28, 1958, Mecklenburg County, Virginia; m. MELINDA REBECCA IDA POWELL, May 10, 1919 in Oxford, North Carolina. She was born March 01, 1891, Mecklenburg County, Virginia; d. January 12, 1988, Boydton, Mecklenburg County, Virginia. ZELDA GARRETT, b. March 07, 1893. FLUNNOY OWEN GARRETT, b. August 23, 1899; d. January 1968. THOMAS EDWARD GARRETT, b. March 19, 1901.

Hi Dawn, I hope you don't mind, but I had to step in and ask a question ----- what is your relationship to BROWN ? I have BROWN in my family. Like you, I am researching double ---- I have ARNEY in my family and then married an ARNEY !!! Makes genealogy very hard! :-) Hang in there and good luck.

I am wondering if either John, Robert, William, George and James Richardson, all sons of William A. and Patience R. Richardson of Mecklenburg County, Virginia....ever lived in Vance County, North Carolina which is across the state line from Mecklenburg?? Robert and George Richardson, in particular, are names I have heard of in the Townsville area of northern Vance County. In the cemetery of the Nutbush Presbyterian Church, in the village of Townsville, there are the graves and a memorial stone for "George R. Richardson and Jenny Strum Richardson". This George Richardson was in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, possibly the 14th Va. Infantry! My father (deceased) remembered this man. A deceased first cousin of mine, Gracie Nethery, was married to Thomas C. Richardson (deceased also) of the Townsville area. They lived and died in Henderson, N. C., the county seat of Vance. One son, Tommy Richardson, lives in Henderson now. Thomas C.'s father was Robert Richardson, who was born in the 1880s. I would be interested in a return message, as to whether we are speaking of the same family...if you know that! Hope what I have written helps some. Marshall Neathery

Thanks so much for table. This will be a tremendous help. Earleen

Hello Martha, I saw your email to Randy re: Rev. Benjamin Brown and Rachel who are buried at St. John's Church in Hampton, VA. I have a copy CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS ST. JOHN's CHURCH, HAMPTON, VA in which they are listed. The Church is about a mile or so from where I live. On his tombstone it says "Departed this life January 17th 1806 the Rev'd Benj'n Brown Rector of the Elizabeth City parish. Aged 39 Years." For Rachel, it reads "FILIAL affection raises this stone to the memory of MRS. RACHEL BROWN who died March 9, 1819 AE 59 If long suffering, and a pac ient resignation to divine will, find mercy in the - Creator Heaven surely must be hers" Hope this is of interest to you. There are other Browns buried there, would any of them be of interest to you? Bea Hudson Hampton, VA

I'm looking for information on the REAMY & RICHARDSON family. In particular, Patience REAMY who married William A. RICHARDSON in 1839 in Mecklenburg Co., VA. Children were: John Richardson b. 1839 Robert Richardson b. 1841 William Richardson b. 1843 George Richardson b. 1846 James Richardson b. 1848 Any info email pumpkin@iline.com Dawn Richardson

Dawn, Do the Richardson boys have any sisters? My great grandmother's maiden name was Richardson - Pattie Richardson, (Martha Rebecca Richardson). She was born in 1863 - a little late for the ones you have listed, but maybe she could be a cousin. I haven't gotten any research along those lines, but will try if you think it might be a link. Let me know. Leslie Coleman Dawn Richardson wrote: > I'm looking for information on the REAMY & RICHARDSON family. In particular, Patience REAMY who married William A.

Hi Kent, I would try looking at the 14th Virginia Infantry volume, part of the Virginia Regimental Histories Series. Each volume has very good unit roster and unit history. Some information on ordering each volume is found on this site: http://members.aol.com/jweaver300/grayson/howard.htm I don't know if the ordering information on this site is current or not, or if they have the volume in stock. For other resources, try looking at the The Virginia Civil War Home Page at: http://members.aol.com/jweaver300/grayson/vacwhp.htm The following page mentions the various infantries out of Mecklenburg County, VA. http://members.aol.com/jweaver300/grayson/vaco-mn.htm#meck MECKLENBURG COUNTY Co.

If you don't want to purchase your own copy, check with your local library. It might be able to borrow the 14th VA Infantry for you through an Inter-Library Loan. I looked in my copies of the 38th & 59th VA Infantries, but did not see any Elams listed. If you acquire a copy, let me know, there are several people I would ask you to check for. This bookstore might also have the 14th VA Infantry in stock: Farnsworth House Book Shop 401 Baltimore Street Gettysburg, PA 17325 (717) 334-8838 For others in the list, I am willing to do limited lookups in the 38th & 59th VA Infantries, just drop me an e-mail and I'll take a look. I subscribe in digest mode so it might be several days before I get the request & have the opportunity to do a lookup.
