Thank you Debra. I understand defunct places - we have many in Australia (G). I've done some Googling and not had any luck with Virginia. However what about the County, Mason? Does it still exist in Virginia? That's ok, I'll move on.

Hi Denise, I was curious and did a quick google search on Mason Co. It is in West Virginia. It was all Virginia at one time then split and became two separate states. Maybe the rootsweb WVa list will have the answer for you about Minois. I'll still look and if I find it will let you know. Debra Denise <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you Debra.
