Do you know who this Richard Jr. is? I thought maybe it was John Richard but the age is right far off and John Richard's wife was Lucinda. >> #1 is the $64k question! I have that Edward married Mary MORAN... Compiled Marriage Records, Patrick Co., VA., p. 131: [day didn't copy] Sept 1830, Edward WOOD and Mary MORAN. Min. Jesse JONES. Yet, another researcher sent me information stating that his wife's name was Nancy NOLEN, and that they married on 04 Dec 1841 in Franklin Co., VA. Given that his death record (as shown in archives, Patrick Co., VA) shows the following: 04 Jan 1998---Downloaded from USGenWeb Archives for VA: Patrick Co., VA Death Records 1853-1870 N Wood, Edward DOD 12 May 1860 A 50 s M COD Pneumonia P Richard and Rachel Wood POB Franklin Co., VA POD PCVA H W Nancy Moran Wood I Nancy, wife I suspect that there might have either been two marriages, or the record is not correct (your guess is as good as mine). #2....hmmmm. I have John Richard WOOD, married to Lucinda DEHART, but you are right...he wouldn't have been born ca. 1810 (he was born 1799). And it is not likely that the Jr. Richard would be Dickie WOOD, married at that time to Elizabeth DEHART, because he was waaaay older than that. I really don't have an answer on that one. Sorting out those WOOD marriages makes my head hurt. LOL! Lainie Hendrix

Barb, Since you asked.......... I am looking for SPENCE and BRIM on my husband's lines. As for me, I am looking for HURD or spelling of Herd for my 93 year old grandmother. All she remembered was that her father's parents were named John Claiborne Hurd and Martha. She had an uncle Claiborn Jackson Hurd who died at 19 and I have located his death record in 1898. I'm also looking for BENTLEY'S and GREEN'S on my side. My husband's lines include VANDEGRIFTS who were born in Patrick, as well as REED. My husband was born in Stuart, myself in Martinsville.

My name is Vern Ferguson and I am researching my father's famly, mostly in Franklin County, but I ran across a listing for Prudence Craddock who married Henry B. Johnson. I found in the new book Franklin County Death Index that Prudence was Prudence F. Craddock, daughter of William and Elizabeth Craddock and that she was born in Patrick County. Her husbands full name is Henry Barns Johnson, son of Isham Johnson and Elizabeth Barns. Prudence was born about April 05, 1795 and died April 10, 1859 (Her death listing states that at her death she was 64 years and 5 days old.) Prudence and Henry were married March 16, 1816 in Franklin County. My brother-in-law is a Clark and his mother is a Craddock also. He and my sister live in Stuart, VA. I'd like to find out more about my Craddocks so that I can see if we are related his family. Thanks, Vern

Hello: Thanks for the nice welcome. I'm a descendant of the Rev. John TURNER and Elizabeth (BURNETT) TURNER through their son John Burnett TURNER, Sr., and Naoma Angeline Exoney (VIA) TURNER. If anyone is interested in reading a family history of Rev. John TURNER's descendants which was written by Captain William TURNER, my gr-gr-uncle, check out my homepage. I subscribe to the VIA and the BURNETT-TURNER-ROSS-VIA-ETC lists. I would recommend both to anyone who share these surnames. I also descend through John ARNOLD, Jr., and Nancy GRIFFIN (GRIFFITH) who were married in Patrick Co VA. John ARNOLD, Sr., married Milly HOLLANDSWORTH (HOLLINGSWORTH). I would love help with this line. Thomas DICKENS (listed as Dinkins) and Rhody PENNINGTON, married in Patrick Co VA, are also my ancestors. If anyone can help me with the ancestors of either Thomas or Rhody, I would be most appreciative. Nyla CREED DePauk http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3412 PS I would like to thank everyone who sent a Tribute to Mr. O. E. Pilson.

I'm totally confused on these. The 1880 Census has: 153 Foley Jane w/f 10 VA PCVA Dan R 153 Foley Ruth w/f 27 wife VA PCVA Dan R 153 Foley Sarah w/f 6 VA PCVA Dan R 153 Foley Wesley w/m 30 farmer VA PCVA Dan R 153 Foley William w/m 8 VA PCVA Dan R Obviously, a Wesley is married to a Ruth.

Plasters. ....Patrick Co VA Marriages 1854-1874, by Jimmie Martin Steele I have that J.Wesley: JOHN WESLEY FOLEY was born Dec 1, 1851 in Patrick Co, Va., and died Feb 26, 1930 in Portsmouth, Ohio. He married RUTH MAHALA MASSEY Jan 24, 1871 in Patrick Co, Va., daughter of JAMES MASSEY and SUSAN MARTIN. Children of JOHN FOLEY and RUTH MASSEY are: i. JOHN W. FOLEY, b. 1878; d. Apr 19, 1880. ii.

ADAMS Aug 11, 1881 in Patrick Co, Va., daughter of JOSHUA ADAMS and ELIZABETH INGRAM. He married (2) MOLLIE VIA Dec 21, 1896 in Patrick Co, Va., daughter of GEORGE VIA and ELIZABETH UNKNOWN. Child of SAMUEL FOLEY and MOLLIE VIA is: i. GEORGE FOLEY, b. Abt. 1898, Patrick Co, Va.. This is the Wesley I thought it might be in the 1880 Census. He is the right age. But I don't have a wife for him to rule him in or out. SAMUEL J. FOLEY was born 1824-1825 in Patrick Co Va., and died Aft. 1870.
