Hello, I am working on Elizabeth Foster born abt 1800 in VA. She married David Berry of Rockingham Co, VA in Rockingham on July 21, 1818. She died before 1849 in same county. Does anyone know of her family? Parents? Siblings? thanks

Dear Glenn Belcher--last September, you very kindly posted to the list some biographical info on William Hank Payne that you said you found in the "19th VA Cavalry" book. Could you give me the publication details on that book, i.e., author, exact title, date & place of publication? If possible, could you include the page number where you found the William Hank Payne information? Thank you very much. Kevin Thompson katatty@socket.net

Bill--My query to you was a sort of belated response to an earler query from you. I believe, although I am without proof at this point, that the Susan Payne in question was the youngest daughter of Thomas Payne and Sydney Jones, born about 1852. So, I am eager to learn more about James Joseph and Susan Payne, such as: Did they have children and, if so, who and when? Kevin A. Thompson katatty@socket.net

I am searching for information about WIlbur H. Johnson my grandfather, b. Jan 23,1877 somewhere in WV. Me married several times. I was told that he and his last wife Lillian or Eleanor (supposedly owned a chicken farm) lived in Grottoes probably during 1930-1973. That they were buried in or near Grottoes. I have spoke to 2 Funeral Homes there and they do not have them in their files. Can anyone help me find any information on him? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was told that part of Grottoes is in Augusta Co. also. So I will post this on that list also. I thank you in advance. Barbara J. Hott rice1@mindspring.com

Does anyone have any information regarding Luther William Roach, son of Esta Ella Roach, born in Harrisonburg (some say in Berryville), Rockingham County on 1/15/1892 who on 3/21/1913 married Hattie Lee Shifflett, daughter of Whitfield Christian Shifflett and Cora Comer, born in Harrisonburg (some say in Berryville), Rockingham County on 3/27/1896? I have Luther William Roach's father as someone by the last name of Miller - possibly Walter Miller, but not certain. Esta Ella Roach later married John Richard Gooden and had additional children: Ruth Cordell Gooden, Oscar Gooden, and Lonsby Cecil Gooden. Does anyone have any information regarding ANY of the above mentioned people? I'd appreciate any assistance! Thanking you in advance, Wanda Lee
