Sandra, Cannot find the family in the 1870 county census. I found him in the 1880 census but he is living alone with another family by then. His father died before 1880 but do not know just when that occurred. Dot

Hi, My aunt now tells me that the lady I have pictures of is Arabella Kamps, not Arabella Clay. She was born about 1900, and lived near Fleeton or Reedville. If anyone is related to her, I have several pictures they may have. These were taken about 1908 or so. Let me know. Suzanne Worthington Palmer Atwood

Have you looked for the family in the1870 county census? It should tell where the father and mother were born, and the son....it will also list any other siblings in the family....then, try the 1880, and see what other children were added to the family in the decade.

TYCER FAMILY REUNION A TYCER family Reunion is scheduled for October 2, 3, & 4, 2003. Honoring Ellis TYCER, Revolutionary War Veteran (NC Militia), and his family, the reunion's first two days will be held in Portland, Oregon, Oct. 2 & 3. A picnic has been planned at the Brownsville Pioneer Park, Brownsville, Oregon on Saturday, Oct 4. Ellis TYCER was born in Northumberland Co., VA in 1756. He enlisted into the Revolutionary War at Halifax Co., VA, serving under General Green. Following discharge from service, he lived in Halifax County, VA and Wilkes Co., NC. He arrived in Davidson Co., TN in 1792 and by 1803 settled in Dickson County, TN where he died in 1846. It is believed, but not documented, that his wife was Rachel STANSBURY. Nine or ten children were born to this union of which five have been positively identified. Prior to 1840 two of his sons, Lewis & Allan, left Dickson Co. TN for central Missouri (Carroll, Chariton and Putnam Counties). Lewis and his family (second wife Frances Jane SANDERS) emigrated to The Oregon Territory in 1853 (Linn, Josephine, and Crook Counties). Lewis was first married to Sarah Angelina WRIGHT who died about 1840. Alan, wife Pernina FREEMAN and their family remained in Missouri. The oldest daughter, Martha TYCER married John NESBITT. They settled in Hardin and Wayne Co., TN after 1820. Daughter, Louisa TYCER, who married Thomas M. WHEELER, lived in Wayne Co., TN, Dent and Crawford Co., MO with descendants settling in Oregon Co., MO, Bingham and Bannock Co., ID, Beaver Co., OK, Wyandotte Co., KS, and San Francisco Co., CA. Daughter Letticia TYCER married Rev. John W. RAGAN and they settled first in Wood and then Hunt Co., TX after 1855. TYCER relatives are expected from Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North & South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. For information contact Lewis M. Tycer ltycer@easystreet.com Portland, Oregon Database for TYCER and related lines can be accessed at: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=huds&id=I01443

Bev, Go to <A HREF="http://genforum.genealogy.com/">http://genforum.genealogy.com/</A> click on surname J click on James In the search this forum box, type in Northumberland You will find a string of messages on this family William Thomas Purcell, Jr.

I am researching my James roots and I believe they may be connected to the Jameses of Northumberland County. I have hit a brickwall in my search for my James ancestors. If anyone is searching Thomas James of Northumberland I would appreciate any help you may give. I was given information a couple of years ago that one of the Northumberland Jameses went to Maryland and that James was either a son of Thomas or a grandson. I believe he was suppose to be a physician? Also would the given names of Cassandra, Joshua, Nicholas and Margaret be found in the Northumberland James families. These were some of the children of William James who was in Franklin Co., Va in 1800 and their place of birth was in Maryland, with the eldest being b. abt. 1779. Bev

Rice Marine Railway, in Fairport was owned and operated by my uncle, Emory Rice. His son Carl (Sonny) Rice took it over until he sold it and went to work for Zapata Haynie. I spent many summers as a kid in the 50's in Reedville and around the railway. The yard turned out many fine boats.

Does anyone connect to Rice's Railway? I learned my ancestor worked there in the 1890's. I was wondering if they had any old payroll books. It may of been in the area of Cockrell's Creek. Thanks, Mary

In regard to the Northern Neck Newspapers, as I stated there is the Northumberland Echo, Northern Neck News, and the Rappahonock Record which I think is published in Warsaw. El

Many residents do place obits in the Richmond Times Dispatch. There is no paper in Lottsburg, but the "local" papers for that area (which carry obits for Lottsburg and surrounding towns) are the Northumberland Echo in Heathsville, VA (the county seat) and the Northern Neck News in Warsaw, VA.

If I remember the name, I'll drop you a line. Thought this would be helpful hope I am replying to the correct letter. if not pass the info on please, Elaine

I sent her a message to check www.timesdispatch.com It's a Richmond paper, but covers that area. Lottsburg is a tiny little place you could go through and not know you were even there. No newspaper in that little town.

There is no newspaper for Lottsburg, too small, but the www.richmondtimesdispatch.com would probably have an archives to check. The Richmond Times Dispatch covers a large area of Virginia. Let me know how you make out.

Have you checked to see what newspaper is in Lottsburg, or looked at a map to see the nearest town that would have one, it it doesn't? I imagine if you contacted them they might send you a copy; all newspapers keep archives. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paula" <pkelley@mrtc.com> To: <VANORTHU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 3:50 PM Subject: [VANORTHU-L] HELP !! > Can someone PLEASE help me get an obit for Charles Dennis NEAL, from Lottsburg, who died 23 June 1999.
