Kellie, A bunch of messages from you have crossed my screen in the passed few days without meaning much to me until I noticed Vanlandingham as your family name. It is a name closely associated with the Weirs of Muhlenberg, Co, KY which I have investigated at length because of my own roots including (Beasley, Shelton, Shutt and Weir). My Weir ancestors of Muhlenberg were Minerva Weir and per parents John Weir and Mary Burns who date from a little earlier than the Weirs you are inquiring about. There were several Weir families in the West-central part of Kentucky in the late 18th and early 19th century. Of course, they might be related and so I've spent alot of time trying to figure out the Weirs that intermarried with the Vanlandinghams, as well as mine. Please let me know what place you are investigating, more about the Weirs you are seeking and who where and when were the Weir-Vanlandingham intermarriages? Where do you live and what is your descendancy? Palmer Beasley Houston, Texas PS - Write me back either of the following e-mail addresses rather than through Ware-L; it'll just be confusing to everyone else.

It says it is not a valid winzip operation? whatever that means. Anyways who I am looking for is the father of Harvey Ware born about 1820- in 1839 he married a Elizabeth Crutchfield. His mother signed Marriage bond as Lydia Ware. So do you have any Harvey's or any Wares that married a woman named Lydia? Thanks Kellie Vanlandingham
