I am an officer in a local genealogical society in Ohio. Our society is currently having programming for the fall in which we feature the genealogy of a local celebrity much in the fashion of "Who Do You Think You Are", the series recently supported by Ancestry.com. We are looking to uncover hidden stories about the family which will serve to stimulate interest in our local society. One of the three local celebrities we are featuring is a direct descendant of Benjamin COBY of Towns Brook, Shenandoah, Virginia. He was born in 1802 and died in 1864, prior to the Civil War Battle at Tom's Brook. My understanding is that Tom's Brook is a very historical area, and I am interested in connecting with someone on the list who is familiar with Tom's Brook. I am willing to do work in exchange by researching information on Shenandoah County residents who emigrated from Virginia to Ohio. I appreciate any assistance that someone can give. Thank you.
