Thank you for all the helpful emails. I am trying to follow all leads but none match exactly so I feel I can't be really sure. I guess anything I find is a piece of the puzzle. Thank you again everyone for the help. Jenny

Hi Julie, I assumed she was white, but I guess she could have been mulatto (isn't that mixed?) I should follow any lead since I have nothing. Could you send me the info on the one from West Point?

Liz The email you responded to was included in your response. That was good. What was bad was some very necessary parts were missing. I had added some comments--grins after several of the sentences. I had used the "less than" and the "greater than" symbols to offset the grins. Looks like that was stripped from the e-mail. They were meant as humorous. I did not assume any ill will in the email but just could not pass up the opportunity. We still go back about 4 times a year as both my wife and I have family there--nr Lynchburg, and nr Farmville. It is a great place but it does get cold, has snow and ice. After living on the Space Coast of Florida for 44 years I don't think I could get use to that again. Good luck in your family search and hope you make it to Va for a visit. Doug ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Doug, Sorry about that comment, it wasn't meant negatively, and I realized that after clicking the send button that Virginia is a southern state. However when you live in south Texas most other states seem way up there. Actually my part of Texas would love to see some more sun for a while, we have had so much rain that we will not be praying for rain for a long time to come. Plus I have always wanted to visit Virginia, it seems to be calling out to me, come visit me. Liz DougB81042@aol.com wrote: Liz What do you mean " might learn more.

There were no known censuses in this period. However, there were state censuses from 1782-1785, but they are not extant for all counties. However, state tax lists are generally available from 1782 on. There are also a few county tax lists from earlier periods.

Hello, I need to find information on deaths for Benjamin and Matilda Lassiter of Nansemond County, Virginia. Ben probably died between 1860-1870 and Matilda between 1870 and 1880. Does anyone know of any good sources/books, death index, anything that might help me? Thanks,

Personally I do not know much about the Lost Colony, history class knowledge only. Yet, I have read some about it since it was mentioned here on the list. The Lost Colony is a part of America's history, and I know that without studying American history along with doing my genealogy I would not have been able to complete my mother's dad's family history back to 1747 in Ireland, and almost competed my three other grandparents, as well as three significant side lines. The study of history is a necessary ingredient for genealogists. I am a Proud, Native, True Melting Pot American, and have developed an even deeper love and appreciation for this country and our society since starting my research over 30 years ago. Please continue putting these types of things on our list, when we stop learning we die, at least mentally and "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". Just a note I did further study into state and county border and boundary changes over the course of our Nation's history. During this study I realized that at one time North Carolina (along with several other states) was once part of Virginia (just like at one time several other states was once a part of Texas, and I am a born, bred and Proud Texan). Now I have added another generation to my family history, and received verification of that fact last night. The truth is, I be a part of the Lost Colony descendants and just not know it. (and I have a graduate degree from a very good university) History and genealogy goes hand in hand, or it goes no where. Perhaps I should take that DNA test, I might learn more. All four sides of my family lived in Virginia and other northern states at one time.
