My grandfather is William Franklin Broome b. 1 Mar 1903 Charlotte, Mecklenberg Co. m. Thelma Ople Eiklor 16 Feb 1936 Miami, FL d. 18 Nov 1958 Miami, FL According to his social security application he was born in Charlotte, Mecklenberg Co. 1 Mar 1903 to James Franklin Broome (believe father went by Frank) and Allie Beuford Cob?. According to archives at the state library NC didn't use birth certificates until 1913. My grandmother died when my mother was 3 and she was raised mostly by my great grandmother. While she had some contact with her father. she doesn't remember much except her father was somewhat elusive when questioned about his family and age. She thinks he had siblings in the Danville area named Delmus, Blondell, Vera and Mary Lee who married a Sossoman(sp?). Is this familiar to anyone? I just got a SSN application for Delmus Howard Broome b.31 Dec 1913, Concord, NC stating father was Joseph Frank Broome and mother Allie Buford Cox. Debbie

James was born in 1725 or before probably in Prince Edward or Amelia County, Va. By 1770 he had moved to Halifax Va. His wife was Mary Rice. They had at least 3 sons, Rice Moore, Mackness (or Mackerness) Moore, and William Moore. Rice and Mackness went to Grainger Co. Tn. by about 1795. William, however, stayed in Halifax Co. Va. and was a Methodist Minister living in the Mt. Vernon area. He died in Halifax in 1826. His widow, Lucy, died some years later. We have tested this line through a descendent of Rice Moore and the DNA does not match the Moore line we thought, in fact it does not match any known Moore line at all. Very frustrating. Reverend William Moore had at least 2 sons, William Moore and Azariah Moore, both of whom moved to Pittsylvania County before 1815. According to the census records, we know the following about both of these sons: William Moore was born 1790-1800 and he had at least 2 sons and 3 daughters. His wife's name was Sarah (or Sally). By 1850 William had died, but his wife Sarah was shown as age 64 (which could be in error) along with Nancy Jenkins age 36 (born abt 1814), Sarah Jenkins age 11 (b abt 1839) and a son William Moore born abt 1820, age 30. Was Nancy her daughter from this marriage or a previous marriage? In Halifax there is a Nancy Williamson who married Joel Jenkins in 1834 and we don't find Joel in 1850. Anyway, in 1860 we find Sarah B. Moore age 74 with Nancy E. Jenkins age 46. In 1870 we find Sarah B. Moore age 86 living with Nancy Jenkins, 51, seamstress with the Edmond Keen family, age 49 and he is black, his wife Delphi, black, age 45, and George Cunningham age 7 black. Sarah is also listed as black, but Nancy is listed as white. This is rather odd as this Moore family is white as far as I know. In 1880 I can find neither Sarah Moore nor Nancy Jenkins. I also lose the son William Moore by 1860. Does anyone know where this William Moore went, who he married, or if he died? What happened to the daughters? Azariah Moore was born about 1790 (between 1790 and 1800). He married Letitia and they had four daughters and two sons. According to the census, one son apparently died, but James F. Moore who was born in abt. 1822 survived. Azariah died between 1860 and 1870. In 1880 we find Letitia S. Moore age 79 living with her son James F. Moore, age 58. It appears that James never marries, or he marries after his mother's death sometime after 1880. Does anyone know what happened to James F (or S) Moore. Did he leave, marry, or die after his mother's passing? What happened to the daughters?

For those of you who are making a list of corrections for your Heritage Book, the following information needs to be corrected in the index: all the people listed with the surname Weston should be listed with the surname Wells. The given names and page number are correct, but the surname is incorrect. If anyone else has corrections, I would love to have them. Thanks, Cindy (Hubbard) Headen

I believe, but cannot prove, that he is the son of Edward Legg who was married to Sarah Garrett, had a son John (born 1775 in Prince Georges, Maryland and married 1797 in Jefferson Co, TN), married Mary Gover, had a son James (born 1780 in Pittsylvania Co, VA married 1807 in Knox Co, TN), a son William (born 1788 in Pittsylvania Co, VA, married in Jefferson Co, TN), and a son Wesley (born 1797 in Jefferson Co, TN). My Edward was born 1792 in Pittsylvania Co, VA and married in Davidson Co, TN. He would fit very nicely in the gap between William (1788) and Wesley (1797). The locations match well, and two of his children were named John and James. So, has anyone out there ever run across my Edward in your investigations. Is there any chance to link the Edwards together?

I am researching this line in which I believe my ancestors can be found. Family tradition had a Sarah Coe, b. 1796, marrying a William Saunders near Bedford/ Campbell Co.

For those of you interested I am in the process of trying to upload the book index onto the website so those of you that want to check for your family names before ordering one may do so. http://www.myvirginiaheritage.com/heritage_books/pittsylvania_county.htm This index was scanned from the book itself using OCR software. The software DOES make mistakes in character recognition on occasions. Therefore please use index with this in mind, some of the names may be spelled incorrectly. The index is so large that I cannot correct every mistake made by the software. I have corrected some of the more noticeable ones; I do believe there are only a few that may not be correct. I tried scanning the pages themselves without converting to text but the files were so large it took too long to upload them. I tried several different ways and this seems to be the best one. I have over 5 hours invested in this already but now that I know (hopefully) what I am doing it should not take as long for the remainder. Be patient, I'll eventually get it done.
