Looking for anyone else researching RUSSELL's in Pittsylvania, and would love to verify parents of Matthew RUSSELL, who married Nancy BARNES in Brunswick County on Dec. 24, 1804. There is a Matthew RUSSELL (possibly his father) who married Susanna DUPEA in Pittsylvania County on July 10, 1789. Thanks! Linda USGenWeb Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb
Geraldine, I don't have the 1840 census to check, but in 1850 there was only one Holligan family: John HOLLIGAN 30, miller, in his household: Elizabeth 50 Elizabeth 20 Ellick 15 (male) Berry 16 (male), laborer Sally ARTER 14 Cheers, Melanie Crain
Hello All, Please be aware that the online version of the 1850 census is incomplete -- several great people are working hard to have the entire 1850 census online eventually. In Mike K. Williams' transcription (1850) I see: John Holligan, 30, miller; Elizabeth, 50; Elizabeth, 20; Elick (m), 15; ARTER, Berry (m), 16, laborer; ARTER, Sally, 14.

If anyone has the 1840 & 1850 census for Pittsylvania County I would really appreciate a look-up for my HALLIGAN. My Elizabeth Ann HALLIGAN wasn't born until 1843 VA. There is a Saml. D. HOLIGAN, Elizabeth HOLLAGAN, & another Elizabeth HOLLIGAN listed in a 1840 index. I don't find these people listed in the 1850 census index that was searched. Could someone give me the date on these 3 families in Pittsylvania 1840 & check again to see if they are listed in the 1850 census. Thanks a bunch. Geraldine in MO

Hello List Members, For some reason I just discovered that two of the Rootsweb sites that I had been signed up on arn't working.I am on three in Virginia,and also on four in NC.Two in NC isn't sending me anyhting,and I can't get my messages to it.Since they are at the VA border I thought some of our list members are on it as well. They are Caswell and Rockingham County,NC.Does any of our members have the address to those two counties? This is what I had,but it isn't working now. NCCASWEL-L@rootsweb.com NCROCKIN-L@rootsweb.com Any information would be most helpful. Thanks, Richard

Hi Jo, Welcome to the list! and thank you for your contribution! Speaking of obits: The Danville Register and Bee obituaries can be found online, daily, at http://www.registerbee.com/headlines/obits.html Tom
Hello List Members! Although I am new to your list (and receive your postings in the digest mode) I am a subscriber to several other lists throughout the country. Two of these lists receive a regular post of the obituaries printed in their weekly local paper. It is a "random act of genealogical kindness" I have personally benefited from and would like to provide for this list. Listed below are the obits from the Star-Tribune for 4/26/2000. Alta Vista Journal and Danville Register and Bee will follow in a separate posting. Please contact me "off list" if you would like a copy. ROACH, Perry Sr. - Hurt, VA SAUNDERS, Otis Lee - Chatham, VA SHELTON, Bobby P. - Gretna, VA WHITEHEAD, Dixie - Chatham, VA
Hello Sue, I am new to this list but hopefully can help you a little on Edward Wade. In the DAR Patriot Index, the Edward Wade Sr, b. about 1727 and died 1790 in GA is the father of Lucy Wade who married Bryan Ward Nowlin. During the Depression, in the 1930s, the WPA catalogued many of the old homes in Pittsylvania County. A copy of those records can be found at the VA-NC Piedmont Genealogical Society Room in the Danville Public Library. One such home was that of Edward Wade Sr. Curiously, the WPA record refers to him as an Indian Scout and hunter. Melanie Dalton Crain
Linda, The father of Zachariah and Brittain FULLER was Arthur FULLER. He was from Isle of Wight Co., VA. They were born in Granville Co., NC. I descend from both brothers. I don't know where James MITCHELL was born or who his parents were. He m.(1779 Pitts. Co., VA) Sarah "Sally" Warren PHILPOTT (HUBBARD). She was the widow of Daniel Campbell HOBART and was from Charles Co., MD.
