I would like to thank Mr. Truman Adkins of Fieldale, VA for his help in breaking thru my 35 or more yrs brick wall on my Lyell family. After his offer to do lookups in Henry Co. on 1/4/99 I requested help on my Beckwith Lyell born 1793 Va. and wife Margaret (Peggy) Owen, who were married Sept 18, 1815 Pittsylvania Co. VA. I was amazed to receive an e-mail today with a long list of my elusive Lyells (Lyles), deeds listings, indexes of inventories and wills and an offer to pursue whichever record (s) I thought might help!!! Between us, we think we may be able to fill out a list of Beckwith's siblings from a brother, Jonathan Lyle's, death and names, including Beck, & other siblings, who sold their interests in his land. Jonathan was willed the land by his father Joseph. All of which will require proof, of course, but I've had no starting place before. As I told Mr. Adkins, my 96 year old Mom had pretty well given up on ever finding any information on her grt.gparents, so we do appreciate his help so much. This is a GREAT list! Thanks, Mary
