Thank you Joanne for your reply. I did find a Land Warrant issued to him for service in the Rev. War on line. Now I need to track that down and see if he ever used it. Good luck with your research.

VA genealogy sites, e.g. the mail and board links on roots and post lots of questions on surname boards. Patience along with a bit of "plotting and scheming" your research campaign will pay off... sometimes not as soon as we'd like.

I know the early census records are not available; are there tax lists or other substitute records available? I have the marriage of my ancestor Joseph Hays to Jemima Allee in Franklin Co. VA in 1788.... I can't seem to get past that. Thank you for your help.
