Dear Virginia Rootsfolks, One of my brick walls is my 3rd gr-grandfather, William Monroe. I believe from family records and census information that he was born in Virginia, and since he died in Janesville, Wis., 20 Jun 1856, at the age of 52, he was born about 1804. Here's the other information I have: He married Artimissia Frissel/Frizzell (various spellings), who was b. Hopkinsville, KY, 27 Nov 1816. Her parents were William and Mary Delilah (-----). William prob. came from England and Mary Delilah from Tennesee. William and Artimissia had three children that I know of: William H. Monroe, b. 15 Jun 1837, New Orleans, according to his obituary. He m. Eliza and they had two children, Artimissia and William H. Mary Delilah Monroe, b. 28 Nov 1848, according to her death certificate. She m. Albert Nelson Willey, d. 15 Dec 1906 in Minneapolis, MN. Ella, b. ca. 1853. Can you help me? Clues, suggestions, advice, and/or opinions will be gratefully accepted. Even though I've been doing genealogy for years, I have to admit I've always worked with New England and Midwest families. But finding my Virginia family would be a great thrill! Best wishes, Karen
