Surnames: Stansell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yAC.2ACE/966 Message Board Post: I am searching for an obituary or any information about Lawrence Stansell who, I have been told, died 13 Nov 1961 in Bethsda, MD, Montgomery County and is supposed to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA. I can't find his name listed in the cemetery in any website I have found. When his father died in 1926 his obituary said Lawrence was in the Navy out of Boston so I figure he was career Navy and was still in when he died in 1961 in Bethsda. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with any info on Lawrence and his family. His father's first wife was my paternal great aunt and that is my "brick wall family". I would like to locate any of his family that could tell me anything about that line. Thanks.

Do not believe that the current day,Wythe Co.,Va. Kepharts are related to my group of Gearharts... There has been a bit of confusion on the matter..... Looks as if Adam and his family left Wythe Co.,Va. lock and stock by 1803? In my notes I show an Alvin Gerheart.. I have nothing on him other than that particular tax list.. Adam is said to have married Margaret Justice.. From the family of Justices on Wolf Creek perhaps? Family lore says that three brothers came from Germany as Hessian Soldiers.. Herb ps I have, over the years, tried to do the genealogy of many families on Walkers Creek.. Thinking that an unnamed daughter or two of Adam Gearhart may have married into other families there.. Adam Gearhart Notes.. First found on Walkers Creek in Current day Bland Co.,Va. Speculations and all.. 1810 Floyd Co.,Ky census. 01101 01101. 1820 Floyd Co.,Ky census. over 45 and living with Joseph Gearheart.

If we accept that Adam Jr. bn in 1784 is the oldest, or possibly John bn abt 1779, then there is a gap from 1784 thru 1792 when Catherine is born.There should be 3 more children. Adam Kerheart appointed constable in Wythe Co.,Va on May 25,1790. William Allen and Bernet Folie also appointed. In the Anals of Virginia on Feb 5,1787 Adam Garheart appointed constable in Capt. Doaks Co. This, in Montgomery Co., is the first record to be found for Adam in America. In 1796, in Wythe Co.,Va , a deed between Nicklas Tartar for land to Adam Gearhart. Adam Gearheart Jr and Michael Tartar owned land together in Floyd Co.,Ky. Michael a son of afore mentioned Nicklas.. In 1803 Adam Gearhart to Hugh Johnson on Walker Creek. Also Wythe Co.,Va. Selling land here, possibly preparing to move to Floyd Co.,Ky. On the 1793 Wythe Co. Tax list part three; Adam Gearheart is listed with 1 tithe and 2 horses . This is the area north of Walkers Mountain. Near by is Daniel Justice with 2 tithes and 12 horses. In the 1837 Floyd Co.,Ky tax list Adam Gearheart Junior has land of that is valued at 1600 dollars on Right Beaver Ck, Goose Creek,Turkey Ck and on the Big Sandy.

Record of May 21, 1800 Hessian Captors marched from Cambridge Mass. to Charlottesville.Va. In the middle of January, 1779, the Germans reached Charlottesville, in Virginia. Here they found no barracks ready for them, and were obliged to build for themselves. Soon a village was raised, and here, and in various other parts of Virginia, the remainder of their captivity was passed. For many of them this lasted until the end of the war. The soldiers made themselves gardens and poultry yards. The officers bought good riding horses. In one settlement a small theatre was erected by the English soldiers, and satirical pieces were played, in which the captives made fun of their captors, until it was found necessary to forbid the American militia forming part of the audience (About thirty English miles from Staunton (Schlozer's "Briefwechsel," vol. v. p.404-408). In May, 1780, there were still one thousand five hundred and three German "conventioners" in Virginia (Sparks's "Correspondence," vol. iii. p. 143).) General von Riedesel returned to New York on parole in the autumn! of 1779, and was shortly afterwards exchanged. His health had suffered much from exposure, low spirits, and a slight sunstroke received in Virginia. After he was exchanged he returned to Canada, where he remained in the service of the King of England until the end of the war, but he never again met the Americans in the field.

William E. was my greart, great grandfather. He had a son Christopher who was my grandfather 's father (Henry Newton Henderson). I think I am correct that William E. was married to Nancy Dingess (m: 07-01-1800 b:09-07-1784 d:03/01-1823) daughter of Johan Peter Dingess and Mary Smith. He also married Elizabeth Sarah Lester (m:03-08-1833 in Giles, VA) I have also seen the Elizabeth Sesser name but believe it to be a mistake. I have found pretty good information on William E. and his children and about John & Mary O'Brien.
