Surnames: MCCRICKARD, BISHOP, SMITH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AC.2ACE/1436 Message Board Post: I've hit a brick wall and would appreciate any information anyone can offer regarding Benjamin McCrickard (b. 7/1861, d. AFT 1920), lived in Franklin Co, VA, Snow Creek area 1900-1920, m. Nancy Marion Bishop (b. 3/1862, d. 1936, and buried in Boone's Chapel Church of the Bretherens in Penhook, VA). I'm sure he's related to John and Sarah, but I just can't seem to make the connection. He would be about the 4th generation from John and Sarah.
