Hi Everybody, A Dodson Family Reunion is being held on August 26, 2001. It is usually held at the 4-H Center in Front Royal, VA. More details later. Pictures of the Shenandoah National Park Exhibit, at the Byrd Center (also Big Meadows) , have been added, for those who may be interested. They are only intended to give one a general idea of what the exhibit is like. I'm new with my digital camera, so take that into consideration. For more information regarding the location of the exhibit, go to: http://www.nps.gov/shen/map.htm Happy Gene Hunting, Carol Carol P.

Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10589 Surname: Pratt, Holderness, Vernon, Hamm, Branham, Mankspile ------------------------- William Pratt died in Orange County, Virginia in Jan. 1748/49, leaving a will naming wife Anne, daughters Sarah Branham and Anne Mankspile and sons John Pratt, William Pratt and Joseph Pratt. I have researched this family back to 1540 in England and am still working. I would be interested in sharing information with anyone researching this family. The Robert Holderness and Thomas Hamm families of Caroline County, Virginia were intertwined with this Pratt family. Also, the family of Thomas Vernon, Sr. is related. Information on any of these peripheral groups would be welcomed.

For Immediate Release For additional information contact Reed Engle @ (540) 999-3495 PUBLIC READING ROOM OPENS JUNE 5 Shenandoah National Park, VA--Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Douglas K. Morris announced today that construction is nearing completion and the public reading room in the building that houses Park archives will open on June 5, 2001. According to Morris, "The completion of the reading room addition is a milestone in a six-year project to establish a professional museum management program at Shenandoah National Park." Prior to 1994 Park archival records and museum objects were housed in over seven different locations with no environmental controls or security. None of the collections were cataloged. Since 1995 the Park, using funds made available through the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program and special funding provided by the National Park Service's Museum Program Office, has spent over $500,000 to construct a state-of-the-art curatorial storage facility and to process and catalog over 350,000 records and museum objects, approximately 70% of the Park's collection. The Park has also obtained funding to hire a permanent archival staff: Harry Heiss, Archivist, and Alison Kelly, Archival Technician. The collections' primary focus is on the establishment and subsequent development of Shenandoah National Park. Its holdings include Park resource management records documenting the creation and development of the Park from 1931 to 1965 and duplicate copies of Commonwealth of Virginia land records relating to the survey, appraisal, and condemnation of privately owned property before establishment of the Park . The Park also has cataloged the personal papers of Ferdinand Zerkel and Darwin Lambert and various assembled collections specifically related to the Civilian Conservation Corps, Skyland Resort, and former President Herbert Hoover's Rapidan Camp (for many years referred to as Camp Hoover). The collections contain no known family or public records dating prior to 1924 with the exception of Skyland Resort materials. Genealogical records are only those incidentally documented by the Commonwealth of Virginia in the 1927 property appraisals and in a few cases by family letters to the Park dated after 1935 and included in Park resource management records. Within the next few weeks, copies of finding aids to cataloged Park archival collections will be available in local libraries. In order to continue making progress in cataloging the remaining collections, the reading room will be open to staff and the public by appointment only Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m - 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. Walk-in requests will not be honored until the collections are fully cataloged. Appointments may be made after May 21, 2001, by telephone at (540) 999-3494, by FAX at (540) 999-3493 or by email at [email protected] Requests for information may continue to be made without a visit to the Park archives. Appointments and requests for information will be handled in the order in which they are received. * * * * * Prepared 5/14/01 Carol Laing [email protected] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChildrenoftheShenandoah

Hello: We are looking for Elizabeth and James Duncan of Orange. Elizabeth married John Furnis in St. Thomas Parish Jamuary 24, 1773. They were married only seven years when John died, possibly from a wound or sickness in the Revolutionary War. Elizabeth appears on tax lists in the early 1780's. Marriage Bonds of Norfolk County, VA list in 21 Dec 1789 Francis King and Mrs. Elizabeth Furnace, widow. I am not sure if this is the same Elizabeth. James Duncan appears on a 1786 probate. We believe him to be either brother or father to Elizabeth. John Furnis had two sisters Elizabeth and Mary. We are looking for their marriage records, probably 1765-1786. They are listed on the 1786 probate, and would have been born between 1745 and 1766. Thanks to all. Sincerely, Sue

Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Orange/10583 Surname: Mitchell ------------------------- Does anyone have access to a book of marriages that might show males marrying in this time frame? Or do you know what year Volume l of the Orange Co. Marriage Index stops? Page 115 was 1825 time frame. I listed Benjamin on page 121 and page 133, William D. on page 185, Isaac N. on page 194, and William F. on page 199, but didn't have time to look those up on microfilm at the Library of Virginia. Is anyone near the courthouse or a film of these? I would certainly appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10582 Surname: Moore, Barfield, Musselwhite, Lackey, Onley ------------------------- Looking for date/place of birth or info on the wife of THOMAS MOORE. His children are thought to be: JAMES, THOMAS (c 1785 m 1802 Catherine Sliders), MARGARET ( c 1787 m 1818 James Black), SAMUEL (c 1795 m 1820 Ann Hayslett), NANCY (m Henry Armentrout), LUCY (1798-1856 "died at the poor house"), HANNAH (m 1831 Adam Wilhelm). Nearly all children were married in ROCKBRIDGE CO VA, and mother is stated as "unknown" on marriage bonds. Because Rockbridge was established in 1778 from Augusta and Augusta formed from ORANGE County, I thought I'd see if this family was familiar to anyone here. So far I've not been able to find a THOMAS MOORE born or married in Rockbridge, Augusta, or Botetourt counties. Any helpful hints on where to look next would be appreciated. Thank you for your time, Dana

Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10581 Surname: Snell, Mansfield, Robertson ------------------------- This is a real shot in the dark!!! My ancestor R. S. Snell may be the child of Joseph and Elizabeth Clark Mansfield Snell. Joseph Snell born about 1784 in Orange Co. VA Elizabeth Clark Mansfield born 12 Oct. 1788 Albemarle. Co. VA. Elizabeth Mansfield's parents were Robert and Mourning Clark Mansfield. Joseph and Elizabeth Snell married 24 Nov. 1806 in Orange County VA My ancestor R. S. (given name Rosseau) was born Feb.7, 1810 in VA. On ancestry.com I found a Rawser Spicer Snell listed as their child. I suspect that Rawser was misspelled or pronounced by the person who gave the information, subsequently this could in fact be Rosseau. We know this was his name from his marriage record to Louisa M. Robertson in 1833 in Nashville, TN. R. S. Snell, died May 12, 1867 in La Grange, Fayette Co. TX. Louisa Robertson Snell, born Aug. 27, 1811 in Nashville,died May 29, 1848 in Nashville, 3 months after the birth of their daughter Laura M. Snell. Laura Snell married Hugh McNary Cadwell Dec. 08, 1866 in La Grange, Fayette Co., TX. Laura and Hugh Cadwell were my gg grandparents. R. S. and Louisa Snell were my 3g grandparents.

Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10577 Surname: Snell, Mansfield ------------------------- This is really a shot in the dark! My ancestor Rosseau S. Snell may be the child of Joseph Snell and Elizabeth Clark Mansfield. On Ancestry.com was listed Rawser Spicer Snell as child of Joseph (born Orange County, VA) and Elizabeth Clark Mansfield Snell. I wonder if Rawser is a misspelling or pronunciation of Rosseau, due to different accents. R. S. Snell was born Feb. 07, 1810 in VA and died May 12, 1867 in La Grange, Fayette Co., TX. He married first Louisa M. Robertson 1833 in Nashville, TN and then Leticia Lucas in 1850 in Nashville.
