Posted on: Pittsylvania Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Pittsylvania/377 Surname: Grubb, Bennett, Botner, Brumfield, Camp, Dodson, Douglas, Evans, Hairston, Hodges, Holland, Hopkins, Jones, McClanaham, Pitts, Raver, Tally, Walton, Watson, Thurman ------------------------- According to an article by Gerald H. Perry (1974), Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 18, No. 2, pp. 136-139, there are nine pages of the 1820 Virginia Census that were not microfilmed. One of those nine pages was from Pittsylvania County. That page included two generations of my direct line, Elijah and Jesse Grubb. (I wondered why they disappeared!) Does anyone know how to get access to the missing page? Here are the Pittsylvania County Heads of Household that are on the missing page (p. 63): Bennett, Stephen Botner, John Brumfield, William Camp, George Dodson, William E. (Note: The article says this name is at the top of the missing p. 63) Douglass, John Eans, Elener Evans, David Grubbs, Elijah Grubbs, Jessee Hairston, Saml. Hodges, Leon P. Holland, Joseph Hopkins, James Jones, Tho. B. McClanaham, Francis Madding, Wm. Pitts, Jessa Raver, John Tally, Peyton Thurman, Nathan Walton, Thomas Watson, John Jr. Do you think you could post this list to the Homepage (apart from the query?) This is a lot of "missing links." According to the article, you could write the General Services Administration in Washington in 1974. But surely they've microfilmed and distributed a reel with these missing pages since then. However, neither the Census Index nor the microfilm for 1820 that I looked at (at the McClung Collection in Knoxville) mentioned this. Nor have I heard/read about this in my research or contact with other Grubb researchers. If there's anyway you could get a copy of this page for me, I'd be happy to transcribe and provide it for you to post. I've also emailed the VA Census Project coordinator with this article reference (it covers seven counties) and asked if she knew about it and/or could provide me with the Pitts. Co. page. Many thanks. Mariea Grubbs Hoy mhoy@esper.com

Does everyone else get that stupid garbage at the top of every message so that they have to scroll down to read the message? Whose bright idea was that? Put it at the BOTTOM!
