If so, they may have some of the same records that would be found in NJ. I know that the TN State Archive & Library has books, as well as microfilm for all of the states for census, some birth and death records on film. They also have a lending agreement with some of the states like Virginia. This are some possibilities. I have a great understand of the flustration that comes when hitting that brick wall. I can't get past Dinwiddie County, VA with my WELLS line. Then on my Mother's side I have two lines, REAVES\REEVES & BULLARD that just disappear. Do you know the parent counties of the one in DE? If not, I have a book that I can check for you. Sue Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
