BARBER BARBOUR FRANKLIN GODSEY I was excited to see there is a book of marriages for Washington Co, VA... 1891 is too late for the marriage I need.. My ggrandfather, GEORGE W BARBER was born in 1851 ... Do you know if there are other books available with earlier dates? I can NOT locate a birth certificate, marriage or death certificate (died 1888 ). Can anyone please let me know where I might find some information.? PLEASE.... I am so thankful for the info that is available on computers. I just need to know who to contact. Thanks for any help....

The recent mention of the WHEELER surname has encouraged me to inquire about the following: I have a copy of a land record from Bristol County, Massachusetts, dated 28 September 1765, that was signed by my ancestors Joseph and Freelove (MASON) COLE. Joseph and Freelove were identified as living in Poughkeepsie, New York ("of Perkipcy in Duchess County in ye government of New York"), but apparently they made the trip back home in order to sell this property, which I assume came to them as part of a family estate settlement. However, it is not clear where the deed was actually signed. It was notarized by John KINNECUT, Justice of the Peace, and also witnessed by Hezekiah KINNECUT, James WHEELER, and Thomas WOOLSEY. It's quite possible that James WHEELER and Thomas WOOLSEY are the same gentlemen by those names who appeared in Washington County, Virginia around the same time and same area as my COLEs. I know that the KINNECUTs, WOOLSEYs, and WHEELERs were originally from Massachusetts, but at least the the WOOLSEYs and WHEELERs were also reportedly in Dutchess or Ulster County prior to moving to Virginia. Does anyone researching these families know where these individuals were living at the time this deed was signed? Thanks! Best regards, Janet Zengel Messer Micanopy, Florida

At this time it appears reasonably certain that this couple was married in the colony of New York, that they migrated to Washington Co., VA during the War of the Revolution; that he died there in 1809 and that she went to Deleware County, OH about 1816 and died ther in 1826.

Surnames: Edmiston, Crockett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACE/1349.1.1 Message Board Post: I was browsing in the DAR Library a few weeks ago and found a reference to Capt. Wm. Edmiston having led an attack retaking the (Austin's) lead mines near Ft. Chiswell, VA. from the Torrys who were occupying them. This was interesting because 1) these were the only domestic source of lead in the Colonies, 2) because my Crockett ancestors lived near Ft. Chiswell and "the L:ead Mines" and 3) because the "Fincastle Resolutions" ( a local Decleration of Independance) was drafted at a meeting held at "the Lead Mines". Unfortunatly, I failed to keep a record of where I found this reference and will probably never find it again..

I am certain you can help. I put together from James WHEELER's will that his wife was Abigail and their daughter, Lydia WHEELER, married Sampson COLE. I assume this is your husband's family. James Wheeler d. 1804 wife Abigail d. bef 1803 children: 1. Stephen 2. Oliver 3. Jesse had a son Oliver WHEELER 4. Lydia m, Sampson COLE, have a sone James COLE 5. Abigail m. Henry JAYNE they had 10 kids: Sarah, Charity, Wheeler, Henry, James, William, Stephen, Abby COLEMAN, Hannah MINK, Margaret WHEELER (who married Stephen WHEELER) Does this match your info? Do you have birthdates (and or death dates) on any of these people. I can't figure out how old they are and am having difficulty matching them to census records and deeds because of all the duplicate names. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Ruth Griggs

I count about 95 total Dunns, divided about equally between the two books. I'll be glad to do a lookup for you if you will give me the names you are interested in. If you decide to purchase the books, spend another $5 and get Index to Washington County Cemeteries. It will be worth the money.
