Posted on: Rockingham Co. Va Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Rockingham?read=272 Surname: Miller, Pernell, Balfour ------------------------- I don't know about any other siblings of Jacob Wesley. I know Jacob W. was born in Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, VA. According to family history, Matthias died in 1859 in Keezletown, VA and is buried in the family cemetery there but I have no idea where that is in Keezletown. Do you have names of any other siblings or relatives? I'll keep Wellington in mind and, if I come across his name in my research, I'll let you know. Sue

The core of the exhibit is "Invincible Spirit, History of the Heart of the Shenandoah," an educational experience for all ages for insights into what life was like in days gone by. (The Society is especially pleased to have been able to restore and display the battle flag carried by the 10th Virginia in the Civil War.) In addition, we are grateful to have two exhibits on loan from the Virginia Historical Society. One is entitled "Our Times; A Virginia Century", about outstanding Virginians and Virginia institutions of the 20th century. The second exhibit consists of over 50 Time Magazine covers on which Virginians are featured. The Society's folk art collection that had been safely sequestered during the construction is back for you to enjoy. Our local history and genealogy books and wares from local craftsmen are all in place again, too! We are located in Dayton, VA at the corner of High and Bowman.
