Posted on: Pulaski Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Pulaski/10352 Surname: Rorrer ------------------------- I am looking for information on the Rorrer families of Pulaski County. My research indicates that most of them came originally from Patrick County but several later moved to Pulaski and Dublin. I am particularly interested in Harry Green Rorrer who married Vava Lake and his son Richard Oliver Rorrer. I would particularly like the name of Harry Green Rorrer's father.

Posted on: Pulaski Co. Va Wills Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/PulaskiWill/10015 Surname: CANTRELL ------------------------- I was born with a white streak in my hair. It runs in my family. We are all pretty dark complected with dark eyes and hair. I read a book when I was in High School and it was on a certain group of Indain tribe that had this trait. I have not been able to remember the name of the book. I have researched my Cantrell ancestors as well as my Gowin ancestors and I know they the mixed with Indian. Does this trait run in your family?
