Hi Dorothy! :-) You know, I've checked on line at the Library of Virginia, but I must not be searching properly. For the plethora of Paulett's in Louisa County, you would have thought there would be quite a few search results. It could be me, too. I'm not the best at formulating wildcard searches, LOL. I have family and friends in Halifax County. I'm planning on visiting there next May, so I am adding a full two days to visit the Library of Virginia and also Westover! (Is it beautiful? The pictures I've seen on the Internet sure seem that way!) Thank you for responding! ~Kim _____ From: Dorothy C.

You may be able to find what you are looking for there. Westover Plantation on the James River is a hop skip and jump from where I live. Dorothy C. White [email protected] 804.795.4296
