Sir; You might like to try the Library of Virginia for your Land Grant Certificates at lva.lib.va.us/ Getting lumbered with a first name like Wadlington makes me think he fought well-and often. Hope this helps as the library has info on other states as well. Deep in the bowels of my computer lurks snother site that is helpful with TN and KY as well but it is going to take a bit of digging to find. Will forward when I find it. Good luck. ===== Dum spiro spero __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
