Is it possible that anyone has information regarding a Levi C. Myers who married Eleanor Tolls (Towles)? I am interested in anything. Thanks, Marilyn

Thanks so VERY much for this information. When you say, "It is very likely that the bond will indicate Elizabeth's father's name." are these usually located at the court house? Thanks for this great suggestion. I live about 50 miles from the Rockingham court house, so it is something I could look for there, do you think? Thanks again.

Lewis Garrison and Elizabeth Unknown were married in Rockingham County, VA (WV) August 6, 1820. Is it possible that anyone has access to any marriage records that would indicate the parents of Lewis and Elizabeth or any other information regarding them? Thank you so much. Dee Randall Shenandoah Valley, VA

Fellow searchers, If anyone has the Pa. Census and can help this fellow, I know he'd appreciate it. Many times some kind soul over in the UK has offered their help to me. I do not have the Census CD's or I would. Thanks so much, Pat Stonemetz Researching-Carroll/Carrell-Kelly-Clem in Shenandoah & Rockingham Co.'s. Dear Pat I wonder if you might tell me how I can find a person on the 1900, 1910 or 1920 Pennsylvania census, in particular:-- John Henry DENCHER (the 1890 Philadelphia City directory shows him as a paper hanger at 4547 Miller, Gtn [probably Gtn is short for Germantown]). He left Leicester after 1881 and died in 1911 in Philadelphia aged 47. Perhaps the Mormons have an indexed CD for a USA census. Stan DENCHER denchers@croner.cch.co.uk Oxfordshire, England

Happy 2001 everyone! I saw someone else ask about this family, and thought while everyone was looking or thinking about them, I'd ask as well ;-) I have not researched this family much, but you have to start somewhere. I am looking for a JOHN & RACHEL PHILIPS (or PHILLIPS) who had a daughter REBECCA ANN PHILIPS (b. 8 Feb 1831, d. 17 Nov 1905) who m. 26 Feb 1852 WILLIAM CAMPBELL. Per census records & marriage record, Rebecca was born in Shenandoah County. William & Rebecca were married in Mt. Jackson by the Rev. St. John Rinker by affidavit of Hiram Bowman and are buried in Rockingham County in Mt. Olivet Cemetery west of Timberville. There is a Rachel, consort of John Philips buried at Solomon's Church in Forestville. As of yet, I have found no record of John Philips in that area. Possible siblings of Rebecca are as follows (taken from marriage records where the parents are listed as "John & Rachel Philips") ELIZABETH CATHERINE PHILIPS (19 Jan 1836 - 19 Apr 1885) WILLIAM H. PHILIPS (b. circa 1840) JAMES K. PHILIPS (b. circa 1843) Thanks for your assistance, Don *************************************************** Don Silvius Co-coordinator Shenandoah County VAGenWeb <http://www.rootsweb.com/~vashenan/vashenan.html> ***************************************************

Happy New Year to you too Don! I am looking for parents and family of Rebecca PHILLIPS, b-abt. 1793. She married Henry LOHR, b-1792, d-1886. Their daughter, Elizabeth F. LOHR, b-03 Jun 1835 in Va. was married to Robert W. DAVIS, b-12 Aug 1823 in Va. Their daughter, Rachel Catherine DAVIS, b-25 Jun 1853 in Rockingham Co., Va., was my great-grandmother. Do you or anyone else on the list have any information on this Rebecca PHILLIPS? Many thanks! Faye Marshall

Hello and Happy New Year ! I just joined the list tonight, so i thought I'd post the family line that I am currently researching. I've been trying to find out who the parents were of Levi Trout. He was born abt. 1804-1805 in Virginia (supposedly Rockingham Co.). He married Margaret Thompson bet. 1825-1828 in Rockingham Co. I have searched a few microfilms but haven't been able to find a record of Levi's birth, baptism, or marriage. Has anyone come across Levi Trout during their research ? I'd really appreciate any help in this matter. It's been a brickwall for me for awhile. Thanks. Sincerely, Joy

Bill-- I'm researching Paynes in Rockingham. You mention that you have the Armemtrout book. Does it show any info on Malinda Armentrout, married George W. Payne? They resided near Singers Glen. Do you have Dorothy Boyd Rush's book on marriage notices? If so, are there any Paynes in there? Thank you.

John (Mike?), All of the surnames you cite appear in my father's paternal or maternal lines. (I assume you meant to type Holsinger and Sellers, instead of Hosinger and Sollers, right?) I have several good sources for Rockingham County families, such as Mary Marie Koontz Arrington's books and Armentrout's family history. When you post specific queries to the VAROCKIN-L site, I'll be sure to respond.
