According to the Descendents of Rev. Alexander Miller Book....by Shirley Cullers MiIller, the Peaked Mtn Church that Alex Miller preached at was at Cross Keys and not at McGaheysville. He also preached at the Cooks Creek Church at Dayton also.

If memory serves me, one of the churches was referred to as the "Upper" Peaked Mtn. and the other the "Lower" Peaked Mtn. It can get confusing as to which church is being referenced. Some history of the McGaheysville Peaked Mtn. Church along with the agreement between the Lutheran & Reformed congregations, translation of baptismal & marriage records and rolls of the early church were published in the William & Mary Quarterly and are online at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/rockingham/churches/peakmtn.txt Harriet Welch On Wed, 06 Sep 2006 18:05:48 -0400, Judith <[email protected]> wrote: > According to the Descendents of Rev.

Does anyone know if the editions of the William & Mary Quarterly are accessible and/or readable online? I keep coming across references to some of my direct, early ancestors in the Quarterly but have yet to find an online source in order to read the articles.

Some of the older ones are online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/special/wmmaryqtr/ Not all of the indexes have been done, but you can do a search on the Archives and should pick up anything in the W&M Quarterlies If you haven't discovered the USGenWeb Archives, the archives for Virginia are at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/vafiles2.htm and you can access the search engines from there, or browse the files for each county. Also - if you are near a library that subscribes to JSTOR you can access the volumes online there. The tables of contents are viewable from your computer at http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/jstor/wm/index.html Harriet \On Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:53:31 -0400, Mike and Amber Sellers <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone know if the editions of the William & Mary Quarterly are > accessible and/or readable online?
