For those who have ancestors in the cemetery at Glade Spring but cannot find the gravemarker, go in the side door of the church and look for the big wall chart where they have marked the site of each burial in the cemetery, even for the oldest ones. If the stones are there, then they would be a lot easier to locate. Annette Taylor

I am looking for further information on my grandparents family. I have the name of my great grandfather and his wife. I know when he was born & died & is buried. I now have the names and birth years & places for his father & grandfather. I would like to make certain this is the same set of Widner's before I take this information as right or wrong even though it came from an honerst & reliable source. My great grandfather was William R. Widner born August 1869(in TN far as I know). His father was Henry Widner born 1845 in VA. Henry's father was David Widner born in 1818 in VA. William R. Widner is buried at Mayes Cemetery in Knox County TN. I appreciate any help in connecting the Washington County VA family with the TN family.

Katie- No, the church there is the Old Glade Spring Presbyterian Church. I had to check my vacation photos to be sure. When I did, I see that the tombstone pile I mentioned was worse than I remembered. Probably about 70 pieces in all, with some stones still intact, and others broken into pieces about as big as your foot. No Lindseys, Myers, or Rambos in the cemetary, according to High on a Windy Hill. There's Johnson's everywhere, though.

Welcome to the Washington Co. list, Matt... Question for you, since you have been to the Glade Springs Cemetery. Is the church there, the old Rush Cr. Primitive Baptist? I had Moses LINDSEY and Catharine (Caty) MYERS/MIRES LINDSEY who were married by elder John Jones Jr from that church in 1813. They were 68 and 72 years old on the 1860 census, Lodi Post Office, and were not on the 1870 census. Wonder if they may be resting there. Don't have the High on a Windy Hill books, so would be curious if there are any LINDSEY or MYERS/MIRES. RAMBO, and JOHNSON also related families.

I just subscribed to the list, and this is my first message. Hi everybody! I'm descended from John Scott (1734-1803), thru his son John Wilson Scott (1763-1847). I was last in Washington county in April of last year, and visited Old Glade Spring cemetery. If anyone is doing research on this cemetery (or is considering cleaning it up or resoring parts of it), you should know what I saw when I was there: the southwest corner of the cemetery slopes down at a sharp angle (so much so that you can't see it from the church, and vice versa). Before we left, I made a point of going down that hill to see what was there. What I found was a bunch of broken or simply dislocated tombstones. They were stacked in piles 10 high in spots, some leaning against trees, some simply sitting in multiple pieces. It seemed very out of place considering how neat & clean the rest of the grounds were. So if you visit Old Glade Springs Cemetery, make sure to go down the hill, if you can't find a particular stone.

Am anxiously searching for information on my grandparents Monie McCLOUD Bausell, b.07 December 1886 probably in Russell, Tazwell or Washington Counties, Va. or somewhere in S.W. Virginia. Monie is believed to have died in 1919?? in Russell Co. Va. Monie McCLOUD Bausell married Charles Henry FIELDS in Russell County, Va. in 1903. Monie's mother was Mattie DYAS ( or some similar name like DYES) She was reported to have been a full blooded indian. Monie's father was Joseph BAUSELL. Monie had a brother named Joseph and a sister named Emma. I would be more than grateful for any information on these ancestors. Greta in Lake Placid, FL.

Gordon, Mary, and other HAMILTON researchers, If you have any LINDSEY/AY in your data base could you please contact me. My gg grandfather is supposedly named James Alexander Hamilton LINDSEY, and I have no idea where the Hamilton came from, unless he was named for the Alexander Hamilton on the $20 bill (no relation, I've checked it out). My SW Virginia ancestors were more likely to have named a son after Thomas Jefferson, rather than his Federalist opponent, first US secretary of the Treasury, who championed Northern industrialism and was killed in a dual. Anyway, there is a slight chance there may be a HAMILTON in our family sometime before 1850. Just sending this out in case anyone knows more.

Looking for any information on James A Fields, born June 9, 1840 in Washington county, VA. He married a Julia Emily Wayman in 1864, she passed away in 1867, then James married a Sarah Ann Logan. I am needing the names of James' parents. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am requesting again some information re: info on James Robinson and his wife Mary Rouse. I have been told that my g-grandfather Sylvanus S Robinson was thier son. But I have no other info to back these statements up. If anyone has any info re this family please let me know. If you have attachments, e-mail me that you do with your address and I'll e-mail you back. My computer was recently attacked by the latest virus that is going around so I'm trying to be extra careful. My e-mail address is jdlang7@earthlink.net. Again, I will not open any attachments, unless I e-mail you first. Also, my son graduated in Computer Science from a local university. He told me that I need to check and update my computer every week at least for the latest viruses. Unfortunately we can't be too careful these days. Thanks again for any help on my ancestors. Jeanne

My gg grandparents are William and Martha Willis Wood of Washington Co., VA. Martha's sister, Mary Jane Willis married Washington "Wash" B. Cunningham 18 Feb., 1858. Martha and Mary were children of John and Nancy Willis. John died in an accident and Nancy Willis wd later married Allen Fleenor who had lost his wife. Mary Jane Willis Cunningham died 14 Feb., 1898 and "Wash" married Martha Pippin wd 27 Nov., 1899 - d/o Elijah and Nancy Gillenwaters. My sister recently found them on the 1900 Kinderhook Washington Co., VA census. Living with Wash and Martha are: Hopkins Cunningham son 19 Rosie Pippin s dau 13 Lilly Pippin s dau 10 Nannie Harlow dau wd 40 Sam'l Harlow g son 15 Op? Harlow g son 13? Estella Harlow g dau 6 I have some marriage books but not the one that would cover a marriage for Nancy V. Cunningham, daughter of Washington B. and Mary Jane Willis Cunningham. Nancy was still at home in 1880 census so marriage should be shortly after that. Does anyone have one that would have the marriage of Nancy to a Harlow in it? There is an E. M. Harlow buried in Riverview Cemetery where Wash and Mary Jane are buried. The dates are 25 Oct., 1860 - 14 Aug., 1896 but I do not know if this is a female or male. Also does anyone know who the husband of Martha Gillenwaters Pippin was? Also does anyone know what the second son of Nancy and unknown Harlow is named? Thank you, Marguerette

Does anyone have a copy of the 1820 Washington County, VA census? Would some kind soul do a look-up of page 233 for the SWEARINGEN family, please? Thank you in advance for your help, Lynne

I am researching my Mays/Mayes ancestors of Washington Co., VA and need more information on the children of my great great grandfather, Champion Mays. He was born about 1777 in Virginia, most likely in the Pittsylvania Co., VA area. He died 1861-1870 in Washington Co., VA. On the 1860 Federal Census he is in the household of his son, Fleming Mays, in Washington Co., VA. I believe Champion probably had two wives, his second being Nancy Bateman, born about 1787-1798 in either Virginia or North Carolina; d. Feb. 1860 in Washington Co., VA. Champion's children were: 1. Male Child b. 1810-1820; possibly Larkin Mays 2. Amelia "Milly" Mays, b. 1810-1815; died before 1850; married Robert Melton; he is shown on the 1850 Federal Census, Washington Co., two houses from Fleming Mays and may have remarried. The name is often spelled Melon or Meton. 3 Fleming Mays, b. 1 August 1814 in Rockingham Co., NC; died 1893-1897 Washington Co, VA (my great grandfather through his second wife). He married Mary Wilson, Deborah Denton and Mary Elizabeth Blevins. 4. Mary Ann "Polly" Mays, b. 1818 in VA; d. before Jan. 1864 in Washington Co., VA; married Joel Hilliard. 5. Female Child, b. 1820-1825 6. Thomas Mays, b. 1823-1826 in North Carolina; md. Rebecca Estep; gone from Washington Co., VA by 1870, possibly died by then. 7. James Mays, 1825-1830; shown in Wyeth Co., VA records of 1833 as son of Champion May(sic). 8. Joseph Mays, b. about 1830, VA, d. 7 Nov. 1861 Staunton, Va; married Amanda Denton; served in the Civil War, CSA. If anybody has information on these people, please contact me. I am particularly interested in the descendants of Amelia and Mary Ann. Thanks. Ruby Coleman rcoleman@inebraska.com

First time asking at this site. I'm trying to find a birth record in this county for Samuel SWEARINGEN b. 1812; he's later living in Pendleton Co.[1850] and Barbour Co., WV [1860]. It is on the 1850 he states Washington is his county of birth. Samuel d. in 1883 in MO. Can someone suggest a few sources for research for Washington County, VA for this era?

Gordon, I have a ton of information on our Hamiltons, collected from many sources including descended family members. I will be glad to share all that I have with you (including a picture of John Marshall Hamilton and his second wife (my gg-grandmother) Sarah Boyd Fugate. One of the family histories that I have is your Uncle John's, the other two were written by Nancy E. Cox Ford and Rev. Hale Snow Hamilton. All of this has just fallen into my lap, so to speak and I have been successful at finding living descendants. Contact me via e-mail. It is great to hear from you, Gordon! Mary
