The Chaffin BARLOW and Thomas BARLOW below, who married in Smyth Co., VA are probably brothers. Chaffin’s wife was named Artelia and Thomas named one of his daughters, Artelia J. [also Arletta]. Thomas named one of his sons Chaffin. Leah in the 1850, 1860 & 1870 census is Lettie in the 1880 census and when Arletta Jane got married in 1880. Thomas’ son is named Chaffin (age 23) in the 1800 census and James C. (age 2) in the 1860 census and James C. (age 13) in the 1870 census (assuming James middle name is Chaffin). David N. (age 9) in the 1870 census and Noah (age 18) in the 1880 census seems to be the same person. Permelia (age 3) in the 1850 census and Amelia M. (age 13) in the 1860 census are the same person. Sarah M. (age 5) in the 1860 census is also Sarah M. (age 16) in the 1870 census. Rachel (age 10/12) in the 1850 census, Rachel E. (age 11) 1860 census and Rachel (age 30) in the 1880 census. Eliza F. (age 2/12) in the 1870 census and Eliza (age 10) in the 1880 census. Thomas was "born in TN" in the 1860 & 1870 census and "born in VA" in the 1850 & 1880 census (that’s a common misstatement in censuses). - - - - - - - - - - Smyth Co., VA marriages: Chaffin BARLOW & Artelia J.

As Thomas BARLOW and Joseph BARLOW were neighbors in the 1850 census, odds are that they are related. A Joseph BARLOW was in -- the 1810 census of Washington Co., VA: 10010 - 10101 (page 708). Jacob BARLOW was on a line next to Joseph. the 1820 census of WC: 210010 - 20111 (page 195). the 1830 census of WC: 312100001 - 000210100 (page 230). the 1840 census of WC: 001200010 - 010000010 (page 202). A Joseph BARLOW married Rachel THOMAS in WC VA on 04 Feb 1808 (by Wm. WILSON), D.E. BROWN’s Marriages of WC VA, page 5. On the same page one line above Joseph’s marriage is a marriage for John BARLOW and Susanna LUESS (also by Wm. WILSON). The only date in the record is the day (the 12th of ?). The 1810 census of WC is an important census in that it is enumerated in the order that the census taker made his rounds (neighbor to neighbor in most cases). Therefore page 708 of that census can explain a lot: Line 07 - Palser ROUSE (see below), Line 15 - Sarah THOMAS, Line 16 - Sarah EAKIN (widow of Samuel EAKIN who owned land on Mill Creek, a south branch of the South Fork of the Holston River near the current Smyth Co., VA line). Line 17 - John GROSS (owned land probably spanning what is now the WC - Smyth Co. line and on Gross Creek. John GROSS’s 200 acre tract was east of and adjoined Sarah EAKIN’s 132 acre tract. Note that Thomas BARLOW & Leah GROSS were married 09 Nov 1847. Line 18 - John THOMAS Note that Joseph BARLOW married Rachel THOMAS in WC VA on 04 Feb 1808. Line 19 - Jacob BARLOW. 10100 - 00100 Line 20 - Joseph BARLOW. 10010 - 10101 An earlier Thomas BARLOW, an assignee of Palser ROUSE, was granted a VA Land Grant dated 20 July 1802 in Washington County, VA, for 95 acres on waters of the South Fork of the Holstein River (by a survey dated 22 Oct 1799 [see WC Survey Book 2:163] ), adjoining James SNODGRASS and John ROSENBURN [also ROSENBALM]. Source: Land Office Grants No. 50, pages 222 & 223. The above 95 acres would be located in Widener Valley which is a valley on the south side of the South Fork of the Holston River and includes the area from about Mill Creek near the Smyth/WC border to near Damascus.

There are 72 unmarked graves and eight illegible tombstone here ..." "James THOMAS born circa 1810 in Virginia was a farmer and a shoemaker. We believe his death took place in July 1863 at age 54 years. He is buried in Friendship Cemetery. He married before 1837, but we have not found a marriage record in Washington County. His wife was Sarah "Sally" BARLOW born circa 1814 in Virginia. We believe her to be the daughter of Joseph BARLOW and Rachel THOMAS who were married 4 February 1808 in Washington County. Joseph was listed in 1797 Washington County tithables. We think Jonathan BARLOW born circa 1820 was a sibling of Sally’s. He was listed in the 1850 Washington County census and was a next door neighbor to Sally and James. His wife was Nancy born circa 1825. Their two children were Mima born circa 1844 and Rachel born circa 1846. All of them were Virginia born.." James and Sarah THOMAS had nine children: Joseph, Moses E., Virginia, Rachel, Andrew, Jane, Mary, Sarah and James ... - - - - - - - - - - Bob Ford

Hey list, I need some direction. I have a 2g-grandfather Elisha Smith who was born in Washington Co. Va. in 1814-1816 depending on which record I use, who married 27 Nov. 1834 in Lee Co. Va. to Cynthia Hall born abt 1813 Lee Co. Va. He lived there (Lee Co) until 1881 when he moved to Claiborne Co. Tenn. He died there in 1894. My concern is to find his siblings and parents.....so is there any records that I can check to gain information on a child/young adult between 1814 and 1834? This man has been illusive for thirty years and I'd like to break through this brick wall. thank you phil smith

In D.E. BROWN's WC Marriage Book on page 56 is the following two marriages located between the years 1814 & 1815: 09 Mar (no year) Landmon SHORT & Nancy GOBBLE, by James HOBBS. 06 Feb (no year) James SMITH & Elizabeth LYNDER, by James HOBBS. BROWN has no info on James HOBBS other than his name appears in the marriage records from 1801 - 1815. a lot of the GOBBLE's and the LINDER's were in the area around the North Fork of the Holston River.

You know, I find it very hard to believe that they did not have enough interest. We (daughter and I ) were in Abingdon, VA (Washington county) last June. We signed the paper wanting a reprint. They told us then they only need 35, and we were 52 on the list. Now maybe things changed, but they (the ladies in the library) told us they would reprint it. Perhaps the printers changed the numbers, I don't know. I am extremely disappointed. The closest copy to us (we live in Kansas City, MO) is in Amarillo Tx public library and they will not send it through ILL. We had to have them copy the index and we then could have them copy up to a certain number of pages and then mail them to our local library. So--its a hassle but we did copy more pages when we were in WA County. Debbie Mack Grandview, MO

Surnames: Taylor, Pinkard, Holiway, Holliway Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACE/1527 Message Board Post: Looking for info on the family that Virginia (Virgie) Taylor Pinkard came from. Her parents were John and Lilly Holliway Taylor. She was born in May 1901 in Abingdon and married Claude Pinkard of Pulaski. She died May 10, 1924 in Tazewell Co. after a normal delivery. I am wondering what happened to this child as it would be my grandmother's half sibling. Any help is appreciated. Either reply or contact [email protected]
