I do have a list of birthplaces and other notable sites you mentioned. Natually, I'm looking for locations where the Boggess family lived. Talk about looking for the ultimate goal! I would like to be able to show everyone a location or two. The family arrived in the mid-1600's and left for Fairfax County in the 1700's. Births, marriages, etc... are mentioned in St. Stephens Parish Church records and various other records in the courthouse. Spellings are Boggis, Boggus, Baggus, Boggas, etc.... Other surnames we are researching: Auvelin/Auvling, Bennett, Samford. As you know, for the earlier spouses, maiden names were not always used. Thanks again, Gayle

Gayle: They are not indexed, but the name Boggess is one I would remember. There are Burgess families, but don't know any other variation. You cannot get lost down in that part of Va., because every side road you take will end up on the river, either the Coan, Potomac or Rappahannock. It's pretty country and I will try to help you if you know what points of interest you want to know about. Robert E. Lee's birthplace; as well as Geo. Washington's and the little towns each have their court houses and local churches on the main roads, mostly. What other name are you researching? I have Smith, Rock, Lewis, Dameron, Headley, Hall, Beauchamp/Beacham. Of course Clark and Headley being the main ones.

Thank you. I was hoping the Society would have a website...... I am planning a Boggess Family Reunion in Fredericksburg in September. The Boggess family was in Northumberland Co in the mid-1600's. I'm looking for someone to guide me to points of interest. I was there last September and visited the St. Stephens Parish Church, courthouse and a few sights along the way. As with so many families the Boggess name has been written in many different translations. If the past Bulletins are indexed, I would appreciate your looking for the surnames. Again, thank you for your prompt reply, Gayle

Gayle: Contact "The Northumberland County Historical Society, P. O. Box 221, Heathsville, Va. 22473" Attention: Mr. W. Preston Haynie (he's a d i s t a n t relative of mine through the Headley line and he was my high school teacher. I graduated in 1950 and seems he's been at the society for many years since school days. The yearly membership is $15.00 for me, as my husband is not a member. He's family is from York Co., Pa. If you write to Mr. Haynie he'll inform you of the increased amount for another person, spouse, family, etc. For the $15 I also get " The Bulletin of the N.Co. Hist. S." I have all of the volumns I believe, going back to Vol. I, 1964. So, when you send your $ he'll send you a 2002 Bulletin. Keep my email in case you'd like to check out something, I'm retired and now live in Pa. and maybe I can help you with something. imshepp@pa.net Sincerely, Indiana Clark Shepp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles and Gayle Boggess" <chasb@hal-pc.org> To: <VANORTHU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 6:31 PM Subject: Re: [VANORTHU-L] GENEALOGICAL/HISTORICAL SOCIETY > I would like to have info about the Northumberland Co Historical > Society, if possible.

Lisa, At your closest Library, you should ask your librarian to do a search for this book, or the complete set of books. They were written by Beverley Fleet, a male librarian with the State Library of Virginia, back in the 1930s maybe...and a female also ended up writing some. They realized the value of the printed word and compiled between 8-22? volumes for sevearl counties between them, if my memory serves me well. There are births, some deaths, and other things in them depending on which book you see. If you librarian can find them, she can order them to be "loaned" to you in care of the library. You would only possibly be asked to pay for the postage to return the books to the lending library. Interlibrary loan is the cheapest way to go, if you dont live near a good State library or a good genealogical library that has lots from all states. Many college libraies also have copies of many books, as these are history. Good luck.

Marth - got your note and am "digesting it." I didn't realize you had so many resources - we live too are away from each other. I've been thinking about buying them for certain articles I've seen and to research when I stop work - but no one else in our family seems interested, so it would be for my and Betsy's entertainment. Anyway, sent these boards, you might be interested in, there are several people who have helped me with info and I've been able to help some also. Just right click on them and add to your address book and they should come up for you. Thiey have all been clean as far as virus in the five years I've been on them. More later - Oh, saw Callie and Catherine H under the Butler's. Probably the articled you told me about, also one on Clarence. CU Henry.

Chris, The book is available from the publisher at this web page. http://www.petersrow.bookpub.net/ I'm still looking for someone who has a copy. Good luck, Mary

I have some Rice's from Reedville VA (Northumberland Co.) in the Hughes' line I'm researching. I don't have much history, except to say my father's sister married Emory Carl Rice. Where the Rice line was prior to that, I'm not sure. Anything on the early Hughes' line from the same area would be greatly appreciated.

I do not know if this is your line or not. In Northumberland County Order Book, 1666-1678, there are references to a Dominick Rice.

Since, I was not researching this name I did not look for other information on him. There are several books at the Dallas, Texas library that have records from this timeframe. If you would like for me to look for specific records, let me know, and the next time that I go I will look for them.

Hi all, I have a question... regarding a source listed on Ancrestry.com for the lineage of John RICE, b. 16 June 1773, s/o Samuel RICE m. Agnes MOSBEY. This is the source that was listed: VA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS VOL 3; NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY RECORDS OF BIRTHS 1661-1810 Does anyone know where we can find this publication?? What about the Tax Lists and Census Records for that time frame? Our own data has long indicated that John RICE's place of birth 'should' be in Cumberland Co., due to the 133 ac. land purchase there in 1772, and we're trying to figure out if our Samuel [b. 10 Feb 1744] had resided, or owned land, in these two counties at the same time. We're also trying to trace a RICE family line... thru King William Co., which we feel was the earliest area of VA residence, and finding that a bit difficult due to the loss of so many records. Many thanks for any assistance that you can give, Lisa Grimes KCKS@gorge.net desc. of Samuel RICE, b. 10 Feb 1744 VA - d. 24 Dec 1813... in far away LA. m. 3rd wife, Sarah STRATTON, b. 1759, Bermuda Hundred, Henrico Co.

Our line starts (so far) with William b. abt. 1636 Arkhome Meliing, County Lancashire, Eng. d. 1698 Stafford Co., Va. Picked this up on the internet--credit accorded to author: James Withers (Elizabeth Keene) was b. 1680-81 d. 6 Jun 1746 in Stafford Co. Va. He was the son of William Withers who was b. 1636 in Lancashire Eng. and d. 1698 in Stafford Co. Va. William was the son of William who was the son of John, son of William, son of William, son of Roger and Alice Modsley. Roger was the son of Thomas (now spelled Wyther), who was the son of Thomas who was the son of Sir Thomas, who was the son of William, son of Thomas, son of Reginald, son of Sir Robert and Joan.

Searching for any information on any Cooper family in this area. Thanks, GSC

In answer to Charlene, have no info on the Hales, but hope you may have info on your Withers in your Dad's lines - were they in Northumberland, in Md, or NC & SC. Are they the relatives of the Durants, original land grantees in Northumberland - William on the Rappahannock, and George who married Ann Marwood in Wicomico Ch and lived on Nominee Bay. Both were leaders of dissenting settlers, Wm, in MD and George in Old Albemarle. Wm's wife said to be Alice Pell. If you or any who research early (1600s) Northumberland families has any info on the Withers, any of the Durants or of their relatives, neighbors & friends in those early days, would appreciate hearing , hoping to compare & share mutual interest and info. Thanks, Ansearch. Streborjc3@aol.com

Charlene, were the Withers in your Dad's lines related to the Durants, both William,the non-conformist elder, who was banished from VA by Gov Berkeley and went to Md, and George,who married in Wicomico ch , Northumberland Co Va, later removing to Albemarle Sound (Perquimons precinct and incited "Culpepper's Rebellion) both of whom were original land owners in Northumberland, Wm on Rappahanock & George on Nominee Bay , so I've read. Can you - or anyone interested in 1600's Northumberland Co history and settlers - give any early info on any ot those three names? Thanks . Ansearch, Streborjc3@aol.com
