Northern Virginia has several newspapers called "[Place Name] Journal." If you have relatives in the northern Virginia area, or think you may have long-lost cousins there, check out the archived articles online. They go back to the 1970's, so they may not help you with your ancestry, but they can help you to broaden your search. The Journal Newspapers Online at http://jrnl.com/cfdocs/new/pw/searchall.cfm will allow you to search for articles from All the Journal newspapers or from just one-- Alexandria Arlington Fairfax Montgomery Prince George's Prince William You can search with as little as one word (for example, a surname). The site says, "The Archives contains stories from all of The Journal Newspapers as far back as January 1971 and as current as today. All of the Journal Archives are free of charge. It is possible to search any individual Journal Publication for Articles, Pictures, or Downloadable PDF versions of the Print Edition."

I have a copy of a letter, June 28, 1914, written by J.E.Herrell, Clerk of Circuit Court of Prince William County (Capt.,Co.F.,17th Regt.,CSA) in response to a request for information by my great aunt Eula Hutchison (of Orange), reguarding her father's (my great grandfather) military service during the Conflict. Capt. Herrell names a number of battles he thinks Robert Leachman Hutchison, and his brother Frederick, fought in. He was not sure of this because he had been "detailed for special duty just before the Second Manassas". He goes on to invite Aunt Eula to visit him, that he has three daughters living close by. A Mrs. Beale, Haymarket, "one at the Henry House who married a grandson of the Mr(?). Henry who was killed at the first battle of Manassas", and a third, "Mrs. NEWMAN who lives just across the street from us." There were three Herrells listed in the Clerk's Office on the letterhead, so I'm sure there are still some in the area. Can anyome help me: 1.- Any history on the daughter, Mrs NEWMAN. 2.- Any records on the Hutchisons, who were said to have been born "on the county line of Pr. Wm. and Loudoun counties". Their father was Wm. F., mother Martha L(ewis) Brawner, Hutchison. I have a lot of info on the Hutch's descendents plus a LOT of Newman if anyone can help.

I am searching for:   BARTHOLOMEW   MARTIN b. ??? (est. 1650) d. 1711 in Newport, RI  (Will was probated then) m. Sarah LANGLEY children:  William                 Bethia                 George                 Jonathan I don't know: -his parents; -where he was born; -where he was married; -where he was buried; I am now searching outside the usual perimeters.  Newport was a major port.  He could have traveled from along the coast. Please check if you have MARTINs in your family tree and consider the possibility if there is a son born around 1650 who was unheard of thereafter.

Dear Listers Thanks to Carolyn Lynn's posting of wills to the GenExchange site, I was reminded about my Stonnell quest. Stonnell is one of my major family lines. Richard Stonnell seems to be the original progenitor. With help from Don Wilson at the RELIC Room, we believe Richard Stonnell was transported from England, freed on arrival in VA and fought in the Rev. War. He married a widow, Sarah Cornwell who had two boys: George b. 1777 and John b. 1775 and was living in Prince William County at the time of his death in 1805. Sarah and Richard had at least four boys and one girl. The witnesses to Richard's will were: Jessey Warder, Alan Bland and William Bawsel. Information on any of these would be good, however I am most interested in Jesse Warder. Richard's son William (b. 1803) married Elizabeth Warder (b. 1807). I obviously would like to make a firm connection between Elizabeth and Jesse, if possible. I have a Richard H Warder married to Mary Ann Ratcliff, living in Alexandria in 1850 and Richard also has a connection to Elizabeth somehow. I also have Margaret Emily Warder married to Samuel Arell Marstellar in 1833. They lived in Alexandria and PWCo. Maybe they are all from the same family. Elizabeth and William's daughter Anna Maria married Joseph Warder Reynolds. Now, there has to be a story in there somewhere!!!!! Why would Anna Maria's husband have her mother's family name as his middle name?? Anna Maria was born in Stafford Co and Joseph Warder Reynolds was born in Shepherdstown, (now)WVA. I have asked you for help before and eventually someone has been able to help. Don Wilson tells me there is very little on Jesse Warder. If anyone has anything to help me piece this together ... please help. Cheers Lynne Simpson Canberra Australia

Regarding John Murphy, born 1764 in Prince William. Another researcher wrote John and his wife Nancy were born in or near Alexandria, VA, per their families legend. I discounted this researcher because of some other inaccurate information. Yesterday I read Alexandria was part of Prince William in the 1730's. Was it in 1764? Jeanne Reynolds

Hugh married Susannah Skiles in blount or greene co TN. 1799. This family is also associated with the following counties: Blount, Greene, Jackson, White, all of Tennessee. Several of Hugh Wilson's children are born in Jacson County around the early 1800's. Schuyler, McDonough, and Hancock of Illinois. Lee County, Iowa.

Dear List My brilliant Brawner cuz sent me a transcription of the administration of the will of Phillip G Webster. He is my man--married to Lucy Haislip and father of Lucy Ann and Matilda Webster. It is obvious from the 1830 and 1840 Census data that PG Webster appeared to be a wealthy man. Does anyone know anything about other family members or even his parents (if possible). This is the final link in my Brawner-Haislip story. Now I can finish my manuscript and send it off to Bull Run library!!! Yipee. What a Christmas present! Lynne Simpson Canberra Australia
