Nancy, What is the history of the various Church of the Brethren in Shen Co, VA and the whole Shenandoah valley? Was there an early version of this group? (1750 - 1800 era) I do not find my Russell family's names on any of the known church rosters. This caused me to wonder if they might have been either unaffiliated or with another church. (Do not find them with the Quakers. ) Most were born before Beckford Parish was established in Shenandoah Co, VA.

There is a Russell family that was in Washington Co., MD, near Keedysville, in the late 1700s. ---- Shirley Starks <[email protected]> wrote: Nancy, What is the history of the various Church of the Brethren in Shen Co, VA and the whole Shenandoah valley?
