I am searching for the ancestors of a William Root(b.1824) in Virginia. I have come across, I believe, some of the Roots you mention in my researches. I am pretty sure William's life began in Augusta(Waynesboro) and ended up in Rockingham County where he was hit and killed by a train in 1885. Have you progressed in your your research?I have been unable to find the parents of William.

I was in for a pleasant surprise when I visited the Library of Virginia today to do some research. They have recently acquired microfilm copies of marriage bonds issued in Augusta County through 1834. This is very good news for those of us who live closer to Richmond than to Staunton.

They told me that they DIDN"T have a co. listed in KY where they married, or a copy of the marriage license. But for 15.00 they could since me the researchers who are looking for HOWTON. I didn't figure they had any more than me at this time so I didn't mail Yates Publishing the 15.00. I do appreciate you looking this up for me. But somepeople believe that JONATHAN HOWTON & ANN TROVER married in Pa, KY, Va, and then some believe in New Orleans. I am looking for a needle in a huge haystack. But I would love to find that marriage license. Thanks for your help I just wanted you to know I did follow through. Thanks Jan :)

I am still looking for Michael (Milo) Downey's 5 wives' death date and/or burial place. His first wife was Martha Craft (they married in 1852), but I have no death date. His second wife, Eliza Patterson, married him between 1862 and 1864, and died before 1871. His third wife, Sarah Mary Baker, married him on October 12, 1871 in Page County, but they are found on the Rockingham Census. She abt. 1886. This fourth wife was Sarah's sister, Lydia Catherine Baker Strickler and supposedly died on April 10, 1885. His last (possibly) wife was Mary Campbell/Mary A. Sharp who married him between 1885 and 1890. I found Mary A. Sharp marrying him in 1890 and believe she is the Mary Campbell who is listed as his wife. I have seen she died on September 4, 1890. If you can find any of them I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.
