Thank you for the suggestion. So far I haven't connected my Messicks with the AR Messicks. Lydia and her family ended up ca. 1850 in Andrew Co., MO. Some of their descendents still live there. That is NW MO, north of St. Joseph. Jean At 03:26 PM 11/17/2003 -0600, you wrote: >Hi Jean, > >Check our Marion Co. AR and Mountain Home In Baxter Co. AR.

I don't think she was married but I have no proof. The family story is that she had several children by a plantation owner in KY named Black. I suppose she could have been married before this & widowed or divorced. Regarding Musick: there is a different family whose name was Musick; however, sometimes you can't tell if a individual is a Musick or a Messick, spelled differently. Very confusing. I'll look into Lidia/Lydia Musick. Thanks for the suggestion. fJean KeanAt 09:40 AM 11/17/2003 -0600, you wrote: >Jean, > >What was her married name?

I am trying to find the parents of my ggggrandmother, Lydia Messick who, according to census records, was born in VA & died in Andrew Co., MO ca. 1871. Census records show she spent 1810-1840 in Madison Co., KY. Any help will be appreciated. Jean

was Messick her married name or her maiden name? --- Jean Brandt <brand007@tc.umn.edu> wrote: > I am trying to find the parents of my > ggggrandmother, Lydia Messick who, > according to census records, was born in VA & > died in Andrew Co., MO ca. > 1871.

Hope that someone knows the answer to this question. I would like to know if there would be a record of the men that had someone substitute for them in the Revolutionary War,and,where would it be located? My ggg grandfather was a substitute for another man in that war. I would like to know more about the person that he substituted for. Thank you, Glenna

Freddie, Since there is the published version of Hening's Statute indexed in the Historical Index by William Waller Hening.....How does this differ? Or is this a case of copyright expiration? I took a look and now being on the West Coast this is great!. Janet Hunter

I've begun a transcription of the 13 volumes of William Waller Hening's Statutes at Large subtitled Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, from the First Session of the Legislature, in the year 1619 I'm only at page 209 of the 600 pages of Vol 1, but it's posted at http://www.vagenweb.org/hening I'll keep you infomed as (iff) I finish each volume ...

There are tons of maps online for the Great Wagon Road. Just do a google image search. Here are some of them. It is important to remember that around Roanoke/Fincastle there was a major fork in the road so to speak. Most of the folks who ended up in NC and later in East TN as well in the 1740s/50s/60s/70s, turned south there and went through the gap in the Blue Ridge Mtns, going through Franklin Co. VA (Rocky Mount), on down through Pittsylvania Co. into North Carolina. ALSO, alot of them stopped any of a number of places along the way for many years. Some came through the gap and into Franklin Co. and went East as far as Halifax County (today's borders).

Going to try this again. I goofed on sending the last query. Can someone tell me where I can find a map showing the path of the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road? It was the path my ancestors used to move into VA from PA. Thank you, Glenna km5tq@wbok.net myfamilypride@yahoo.com

This actually took place in Kentucky in the 1840s, but I thought this VAROOTS list would be the most likely to be of some help. There is a document; actually two documents, one dealing with three children and the other with one child, all four the youngest children in a family of ten or so. The three eldest sons in this family are posting bond, promising to pay so much money to each of these four children who are underage when they come of age. (more to the youngest, who is really an infant). The four are called infant orphans, which I understand just means they are underage. The words are crossed out, as is the reference to their father as deceased. And this is truly the case, because he wasn't deceased, and as far as I can tell, never lived apart from them or gave them up for adoption or deserted the family or anything like that, because they are all found together in subsequent census records. The father did not die until 1864 when he was 80 years old and the child! ren were all adults. The only reason I can come up with for this document is that the father had recently settled some land on each of the three elder boys, who then promised to pay a set amount on each young child when they came of age, and this was simply a way to make sure the younger children were provided for--sort of in lieu of a will. Has anyone else ever encountered a document like this? Your views would be appreciated. Mary Miller
