Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/382 Surname: Miller, Tinder ------------------------- I just visited my great-uncle's grave at Palmyra United Methodist Church and found too many Millers! I found him, John Simeon Miller, and his wife, Josephine Foushee Miller, and their son, George Fletcher Miller. But, right next to them were Hugh Lee Miller (4/9/1907-10/7/1991) and his wife Myrtle Tinder Miller (10/8/1914-1/15/1999). I have no idea who these people were! They are not in the family genealogy. If they were not buried right next to my family members I would assume they were not related. But, the 5 graves are in a perfect row. Does anyone know these extra Millers, I don't want to leave them out of the family history if they belong there. Thank you, Bob Miller

Hi Norman, Orange County did not exist until 1734. I am connected distantly to Robert E. Lee through his mother, Ann Hill Carter, who was a descendant of Robert "King" Carter such as I am through his grandson Benjamin Harrison V,Signer. Robert E. Lee was born in Westmoreland County at Stratford Hall plantation. I have never heard of any of his direct Lee family being in Orange County. As for the Taylors, I do not know about them. Where did you find information about Robert E. Lee's family being in Orange County? Or am Imisunderstanding? I do that sometimes!

Donna-- I'm a Coleman descendant. Without dates on your information I cannot tell if I have information for you or not. I tie into the Coleman line in Revolutionary times. Donna Hello, I am new to the list and currently researching the Rosson and Coleman families of Culpeper/Orange County. I have found a wealth of info on the Rosson's but the Coleman side is sketchy at best. I'm hoping there are other descendents of either family in here as I have enjoyed making the acquaintence of a few Rosson distant relatives and hope to do so for the Coleman side. The only Coleman info I have is a penned list that I believe my grandmother made long ago. It is not too detailed so I am hoping to find more hidden history.

Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/371 Surname: Gibson, Wood ------------------------- When John Wood applied for his Revolutionary War pension in 1832 in Albemarle County VA, Rev.John Gibson deposed that he was born in Calvert Co MD and was made class leader in the Methodist Church in 1789. He moved to Albemarle Co in 1793 and settled 4 or 5 miles from John Wood and wife who had preceded him some 2 or 3 years.He preached John Wood's funeral sermon, he said in 1846, although Wood had died in 1843 according to his wife's application for her widow's pension.I don't know if this is the John Gibson you are looking for. This Gibson performed marriages which were recorded in Orange and Albemarle simultaneously.
