I have tried without success to find the date of death and, hopefully, the burial site for my great-grandfather, Abraham L. Gobble. His date of birth is (20 or 30) Aug 1836, Washington or Scott Co, VA. His marriage to Francis Elizabeth Snider (b. 28 Mar 1843, d. 11 Feb 1921) was 8 Jul 1862 in Scott Co, VA. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. Joseph C.

Try contacting the local funeral homes. The newspapers should have info - try The Coalfield Progress, The Kingsport News or Bristol Herald, there should also be local papers they could name.. The best place I have found is www.usgenweb.org all of their info is FREE and Russell CO has a wonderful collection. Good luck!!

JAMES WALL APPRAISEMENT (Pg. 29) April 1803 Appraisement £ 35.19.3 JAMES WALLS (Pg. 36) 18 December 1805 Appraisement £ 34.10.2 "One rifle gun which John Walls, heir to said estate , took with him when he moved away." Produced by William Wall, administrator of estate of James Walls. ---------------------- I am a Wallace descendant as well, and have done extensive research in this particular area concerning the Wallace and Walls families. These particular WALLACE and WALLS families were two separate entities and in this case, is not a matter of the surnames being spelled incorrectly by a county clerk or census enumerator. I'm also a Herndon descendant and I'm currently working with someone else on the Aquila Compton line that links heavily into my Herndons...so I have a double interest in these lines myself.
