Hi there: Had the chance to read your e-mail a few minutes ago. Nothing sounds like anything I've either seen or been work on. Sorry

Hi Patijie I think it was Rusts we talked about before. Someone sent me a bunch of stuff on the Crabb family because it mentioned some of my Rusts. My Hannah Rust married Thomas Boggess and I think we maybe talked about that. Have you ever seen the name FLIPPO (or, possibly, Philippo) in Westmo? I have some missing folks who may've been there in the late 1700's. How about DAMON? Ring any bells? thanks, Cyndi

James Watson - pg. 463 & 464 "First Baptist Church of Colonial Beach, 1896 "Over the years some members have served as both deacons and trustees."

Stuart et als. sold First Baptist trustees Peyton Davis, James Watson and Irving Waters a parcel of land described as lot 5, Block 90, a 50 X 150 lot in Colonial Beach." on page 602 "In the summer of 1924, James E. Watson, his wife Lillie and son Charles started the Watson Bakery in Colonial Beach." I realize this is the wrong time period but thought there might be a connection any how. Patije - I'll have to tackle your separately with more time. Be patient.

Hi Dawn - I came in late on the discussion about the Westmoreland County book. Can someone tell me what it contains? Does it have all of the wills, deeds, etc prior to 1800? Wynne

Hi Folks... I haven't forgotten you. I will have more time for the lookup requests I have received and will hopefully post findings this weekend. Thanks for your patience and glad to help any out that I can. Yes, you can purchase the book last I knew. I bought it last year. Contact Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors Montross VA 22520. I can't find the name of the woman who I dealt with to buy the book but she was with a county office. The book cost $43 and shipping and handling was included then. Dawn

Rob, Sorry it wasn't me that had the lookup book. It is a woman named Dawn. Linda

Dawn, if you still have your book and are willing to do one more lookup, I am trying to find information about James Scott, born abt. 1793 in Westmoreland County. Married Frances (nln) of Richmond Cty. Their children, Charles Henry, William A., Caroline, Matilda Ann, Talbrid, Montague, Frances and Sally were alSO born in Westmoreland Cty. Thanks again for your time. Linda Kindervater

Linda, I noticed that several people inquired as to whether your "look-up" book is still available to be purchased anywhere. If you answered them, I apologize for missing your reply. Please reply again with the name of the book and whether it can be purchased. Thank you. Rob
