There were SANDRIDGES in Barbour County -- take a look at the Barbour Co. GenWeb page -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvbarbou/ In the "Family Album" section, you will find information about one Sandridge family farm. Some names from the 1850 Barbour Census are listed. There is an e-mail link to the Sandridge researcher who submitted the information -- perhaps he can help you. Mary Ann Wamsley
