Phyllis, Thank you for the information on the "Assignee". It really could help some of us who have tried looking at everything else! Chocy

Assignee: A person to whom a claim, right, property. task, etc. is transferred. (Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, Second College Edition 1970) Specifically as used in the land granting process, the right to the certificate, warrant, entry or survey could be assigned to another person usually for consideration; the assignment(s) is often written on the back of certificate or warrant. Assignment of a fraction of the certificate's or warrant's rights to land was allowed and often the case. Additional or successive assignments were written on the back of the warrant until there was no more space for another assignment; additional assignments are then written on the front of the warrant. An assignee could reassign his rights. Also, notes of assignments were sent to the surveyor holding the warrant. The warrant, the original survey and any papers. i.e., probate, the surveyor had in his possession to allow him to survey the entry for the person for which the tract was surveyed was to be sent to the VA Land Office where the Grant was written after which only the grant was returned to the county. For grants beginning in 1779 these papers (not the Grant - as it was recorded in the Patent or Grant Books which can be accessed online at Library of Virginia, then returned to the Grantee) are often found in the VA Land Office manuscript collection, "Plats and Certificates", with the last survey allowed on the warrant. It is expected that the warrant accompanied the last survey to the VA Land Office. When there were several grants based on a warrant, determining the last grantee is the problem. I have seen notations with a survey that the warrant had been returned with another named person's survey. These documents can be seen at the Library of Virginia for grants beginning in 1779 are often found in the VA Land Office collection "Plats and Certificates". They are filed by the Grant year and Grantee alpha. There is no collection index. They are not microfilmed. The value of consulting this file is that the assigner wrote & signed the assignment statement or signed the statement written by another person. As usual, if he signed with an (x) signatures of witnesses are expected. After the survey was sent to the Land Office, I have seen the contract to transfer recorded in the court minutes of the county the land was surveyed. You can sometimes find other grants on a warrant when the survey has an identified waterway, road way or other notations by entering this in the Keyword search window instead of Name. Remember; the land did not have to have been entered on the same location as any other entry, survey or grant based on any one warrant. The warrant only gave rights to land anywhere VA was granting land based on the type warrant VA issued. The warrant # is almost always recited in the grant as this was the authority for granting the survey; it is not a searchable keyword.

Thanks to those who responded. I should be able to find it. Diana

Hi, yes there is an office, however, their records are not necessarily complete or correct. My Uncle was buried there and when I went to visit the grave several years after he died, they claimed he was not buried there. Using my memory I found the grave after a short search. The cemetery is not that big, so I would take a walk around and look if they do not have a record of burial.

The Church is located on Route 11 as you enter New Market from the North. Driving South on Route 11, right after the first stop light which is the intersection of Route 211 and Route 11, there is a Church on the right side of the road. Turn right at the Church, behind the Church is the Cemetery. I don't know about who to see about locating a grave.

In the VA Land Grants the following information is provided: Grant X-617, 7 Nov 1797 Moses Henry, assignee of Elijah Roye, 100 a. in Shenandoah Co. on Gimlet Mt. Adj. Nathan Job, the Manor Line. Is assignee simply the individual being assigned the property or does it refer to an indentured servant or apprentice of some kind? Thanks

Where is Emmanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, New Market located? Is there an office that I can visit when I get there to find a grave location? Thanks Diana

Henry Family In my family I have a Christian HENRY (born 1760) who married a Barbara DRUCK in York County, PA. Barbara's brother, Nicholas Druck, and sister, Eve/Eva Druck (married Michael Klein (Cline) came to Shenandoah County. I know nothing about the above Christian & Barbara Henry but wondered if they could be connected to your family. I see several HENRY families in the York County 1800 census - Christian (2), Daniel (1), Jacob (5), John (1), Michael (1), Nicholas (1), Wendel (1) & William (1). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Kittle" <diane.kittle@voyager.net> To: <VASHENAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 11:56 PM Subject: [VASHENAN] Rutter/Ritter? > Aaron Henry married Harriet Rutter or Ritter Dec. 2, 1805.

Diane, If you are referring to the names in Rockingham County - I am doing some research on almost every family name in the general vicinity of "Brocks Gap" in the northern part of the county. I am preparing a book on the descendants of John Runyon who settled in Brocks Gap in 1753. Most of John's family left Rockingham around the time that he died in 1830, however, his son Anderson Runyon (Runion) remained and Anderson's descendants intermarried with most families in that area - including southern Shenandoah Co.. If you are referring to those who moved to Highland County, OH - that would be John's son's Jacob Runyon & Daniel Runyon and their sister Nancy (Runyon) Hawk (Mrs. John Hawk) and their families - which included a John Fawley.

My HOOP family (John & Peter) went (around 1800)to Highland County, Ohio along with other Shenandoah County families. Later some of their families moved to Shelby County, Indiana. I see many Shenandoah County names when I look at Highland County records. Also another branch of my family (DRUCK/TROOK) went to Stark County, Ohio and Union County, Indiana in the early 1800's. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Kittle" <diane.kittle@voyager.net> To: <VASHENAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2003 8:22 PM Subject: RE: [VASHENAN] Ritter/Rutter, Corder, Henry > Wow.

Nancy and Chocy, Since I found all three families in each place until 1840 I decided to poke around a little more. Neighbors to the Hites, Spitlers, and Henry's in Fairfield and Pickaway Co. I found more - Corder and Ritter neighbors. This is sooooo fun. Once again, queries proved unsuccessful due to the spelling. The Henry Corder in the 1830 census for Pickaway Co., OH was there in 1820. The Ritters are enumerated in Fairfield Co., OH in 1820 right next door to several Hites and Jacob Spitler with a female 45+ (- probably wife Nancy Henry from Shenandoah). Pickaway Co., OH, 1820 Census, Harrison Twp. Henery Cerdor - 1 male 1-10, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 0-10, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 45+ Fairfield Co., OH 1820 Census, Violet Twp. John Ritter - 1 male 0-10, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26 Fairfield Co., OH 1820 Census, Pleasant Twp. 2 males 0-10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 45+ Hope something here eventually leads to more answers.

Chocy and Nancy, Thought you may be interested in this, although I'm guessing you both have this info, but ... just in case. I was going through the 1820 and 1830 census for Pickaway Co., OH (as you both know many families from Shenandoah went there) and since spelling wasn't the census takers biggest strength, I thought I would share this. Remember that many Shenandoah families originally went to Pickaway with William Renick, John Lewin, etc. The Hites, Spitlers, Henry's, Bells, Clines, etc. went in the same time frame. I once sent a list of those that went to Pickaway from Shenandoah between the years 1805 - 1815. I was looking house by house, as my Enoch Henry from Shenandoah went there and I found the following in the little township of Walnut very close to him, in Pickaway Co., OH where Enoch once ran a "distillery". William Henry ran the tavern in Circleville which was the county seat and state capital in those early days prior to moving it to Franklin County, I believe. 1820 Henery Ritter - 1 male under 10 yrs., 2 males over 45 yrs., 1 female under 10, 1 female 26 - 45 yrs. Henery must have been born before 1775. 1830 John Corder - 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 40-50, 2 females under 5, 1 female 5-10, 11 female 30-40. This John must have been born about 1780-1790. A few houses down was: 1830 James Corder - 1 m under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 2 females 10-15, 2 females 15-20, 1 female 40-50. James must have been born about 1780-1790 as well. 1830 Joseph Corder right next to James (not sure his name was Joseph it was one of those old names and looked liked Jepe or Jefe in cursive. Doesn't this stand for Joseph? Anyway, he had - 1 male under 5, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, and 1 female 20-30. Diane

I see where Gilbert, Jonas, and Nicolas were enumerated in early tax list for Shenandoah Co., i.e., 1784+. Is anyone researching these names that may know where they came from before settling in Shenandoah?

In my research of Moses Henry of Shenandoah Co. and his descendants I found entries made at Ft. Pitt (PA) where a Moses Henry, gunsmith, picked up purchases for Morgan, Baynton, and Wharton Indian Traders and Suppliers during the years of 1766 and 1767. The Henry's of Shenandoah, Warren, and Page married into a Morgan family several times. Does anyone know anything about rather or not the Morgan's of Shenandoah were involved in running forges, building guns, or were merchants of such material? I also have in my notes where Moses's grandson (son of Moses Jr.) Enoch who relocated to Warren Co., OH with other families, i.e., Henry's, Doctor's, Clippard, Morgan's, etc., listed his occupation on the census as "gunsmith", maybe an occupation his father taught him? If anyone has any info on this Trading and Supply Company, please let me know. Thanks.
