In this time of rampant virus activity, please be considerate of your friends. Most, like myself, have address books which the current batch of worms, viruses, et. al. use to send mail & attachments to propagate themselves. Unfortunately, many download without a second thought when they recognize the sender's address. As a result, we are forced to consume extra time to be safe. I recommend that before sending an attachment, send an email to the proposed recipient informing them of that fact and the document name which will be attached. If you receive an unsolicited attachment, just send back a query to the sender to confirm it is a valid document. Also, pay attention to the document name. A plain .doc or .ged will likely be safe (no quarantees!), but if you get a .doc.com or a .doc.pif (as I did this morning), it likely is a "bug". Sorry about taking up list space for this but a little awareness never hurt anyone and may save an enormous amount of time!! Best of wishes, Billy Markland

Seeking information on Elisha DUNGAN (1764-1819) of Washington County, who married Hanna Chambers. Did they have a son Elisha?

Does any one know how to access the 1860 census index for the scanned images on Gen web for Washington Co.? Other census years would be helpful too.

I am looking for information on a flood that possibly occurred in 1902 or 1903. My great grandmother acquired pneumonia and died in June 1903 after carrying her two daughters to safety through the water and mud after a flood of some type. She carried them through the hollow to her mother's house in Lebanon, Virginia. I haven't been able to find any information about what happened. Would appreciate any leads someone might give me to find information on the flood, mudslide, flash flood, or whatever it was. Thanks!

I am searching for information about William Evans. He was born about 1700 in Washington County and died in Abingdon, VA. He married Dorothy Moore and they had three children: William, about 1725; Robert, 1727; and Samuel, between 1730 -1735.

Ephraim Eastridge and Mahaley had the following children: [child] 27 i. Phoebe4 Eastridge(42). She married Jasper Woodward. (Additional notes for Jasper Woodward(43)) [child] 28 ii. Henry Eastridge(44). He married Susan Woodward. (Additional notes for Susan Woodward(45)) Reference 43 and 45: Families of Washington Co. P 137. The WOODWARD children (Jasper and Susan) on 1860 census are children of Lucinda LINDSEY and Isaac WOODWARD, thanks to Jane Oakes of this list. Lucinda is daughter of Moses and Catharine LINDSEY. Are there any EASTRIDGE or WOODRIDGE descendants out there????

Hey, y'all, Do Jasper and Susan WOODARD mean anything to anyone? Check out this site for the 1860 Washington Co. VA census. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/washington/census/1860/0511.gif Here you will find the scanned image of the page where Moses and Catharine LINDSEY are recorded. They are ages 72 and 68, but then there are two children listed in the same household, Jasper Woodard, age 8, and looks like Susan, age 6. May be some error, in that Susan is a male. Could be the boy named "Sue" in the song. The children have a different last name, so could be grandchildren. Moses and Catharine in 1850 had with them Lydia Lindsey age 19, and Matthew Lindsey age 16, who I believe were their youngest children. Date of enumeration was July 3, 1860. Civil War had just broken out in April. Could be grandparents are looking after the kids. Just wondering if these names ring any bells? Jasper would have been born about 1852, and Susan about 1854. Lodi Post Office is between Damascus and Glade Spring VA. Does anyone know what the box 13 means on that census?

What years are you searching? I am looking for Jabez Perkins in Washington and Grayson between 1780 and 1830. Trying to id his wife. Was she a Creekmore? Were there any Creekmore families in Washington or Grayson counties?

I have recently completed a Historical C.D. (Pathfinders, Pioneers, & Patriots) that shadows the early explorers to "the New World" then follows the progression of the frontier across Virginia to 1800. From 1760 to 1800, it focuses on the largely untold history of S.W. Virginia, E. Kentucky, and N. E. Tennessee. It was completed in a MS- Word '97 Format which allows the user to literally "point and click" their way through history (It will run on virtually any computer.) It contains a historical timeline of over 30 pages with hyper-links to over 100 pages of the stories about the people and events listed (along with many original color pictures and primary documents). Those interested in history or genealogy are responding very well to the C.D. The C.D. sells for $28.00 (including tax and shipping) and can be obtained by contacting me at: Danny Dixon Echoes From the Past Rt. 2 Box 872 Nickelsville, Va. 24271 (540)479-2325

If you have info e-mail me at wood.c.j@worldnet.att.net Thanks Linda

My mother was from that part of VA, and I can remember visiting my Grandparents. What they served, which I believe was somewhat traditional was, Fried Chicken, biscuits and gravy, stewed tomatoes with black eyed peas, Cornbread, greens of all type, stewed chicken with dumplings and mashed potatoes, Bean soup with fatback or some type of pork or ham bone, and of course the occasional rabbit, squirrel, or other wild game. I hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tammy Martin" <tsmartin@naxs.com> To: <VAWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 11:37 PM Subject: [VAWASHIN] food of 1880 > A cousin of mine is having to serve food at a picnic.

I am so glad to be on your list....In 1965 Mrs. Atwood Huff sold Kilmacronan to Garland Johnson for a dairy farm...His son David told us recently that Mrs. Huff was a Historian and had saved a lot of Thompson records in the attic.. , David and his father Garland saw Land Grants, letters from England, letters from the Civil War and other things...Mrs. Huff took these records with her when she sold the house..Would anyone know where these records could be?? I am researching this Thompson family...It would be such a thrill to see these records...Any clue would be deeply appreciated....Jean C. Abshire

Tammy, How about "Leather Britches" ? The only thing is they should have dried over the winter. I beleive they would have eaten them in that time frame. Believe it or not ...I ate them in the 1950's... They are green beans strung with a needle on a doubled over thread. Then they are hung up to dry. During the winter they were brought in the kitchen from the loft where they were hanging and cooked with salt pork. Sometimes they tasted just like they were called"Leather Britches". Here is a site with some recipes from 1860. Maybe they still ate them in 1880..They look quite good. <A HREF="http://www.buffnet.net/~macdowel/cross/recipes.htm">1860’s Foods</A> http://www.buffnet.net/~macdowel/cross/recipes.htm Milly WARD Piros <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/millyella/listofpages.html">A List of All My Pages</A> http://www.geocities.com/millyella/listofpages.html My Mind Is Like Lightning.....One brilliant flash and Pooooooooooffffffffffffffffffff it's gone..

Pass along the information to those who may be interested.

A cousin of mine is having to serve food at a picnic. This food has to be from the time that his present home was built. This home was my grandmother's and was built in 1880. He knows he could serve country ham and biscuits or streaked meat and biscuits and be safe. However, he wanted to serve something different that was served from that era. Anyone know something different (that we don't partake of today) that the folks of Wash. Co., VA may have eaten in 1880??? I need an answer ASAP. Thanks, T. Martin

I know these two named - William Hobert Leonard and Ethel Hulding Smith - were in the Washington County, Virginia area when they had my grandmother - Pauline Lou Leonard. I have no information on my great-grandparents places of birth, only that they were born in Nov 1896 (GGFather) and Jun 1892 (GGMother). Is there anyone who has any more information? I have come up short in my looking. THANK YOU!
