Here's a New Internet Tool for Genealogists: http://maps.google.com/ If you can't physically visit that ancestor home from the 1930 census, check it out of Google Maps. Or look for that cemetery in their old home town. Links on the right will help you navigate at Google Maps. It also conveniently supplies a "link to this page" to share the map with fellow researchers. Here's an example of Brooke's Court House at 632 Main Street, Wellsburg, WV http://maps.google.com/maps?q=632+main+street,+wellsburg,+wv&spn=0.031543,0.060176&hl=en You'll find this also helpful in vacation trips, and planning your next genealogy venture!

Please send me an email at [email protected] I descend from John & Ruhama. I still haven't gotten any farther back than Old William along the Potomac. The current owner is having an archealogical dig done on an ongoing basis. He has also contacted an Historical researcher to find out more about William. There are a couple of good leads, but nothing definite yet. Dinah was a Butt, not a Darke. She was the daughter of Richard and Mary Butt. Richard died in 1715 and Mary married John Metcalf shortly thereafter. By Metcalf she had children George, Vatchel and Susan. Dinah was born in 1708. Regnal's estimated birth year is incorrect. Bob Green was estimating Regnal's birth years based on a horse ride he made on his 100th Birthday. We don't know when that Birthday was, but it could have occured anytime after 1806 and before about 1860. A more sensible time span for Regnal's birth is between 1724-1734. We know that Dinah and her Mother were in Prince Georges County Maryland and can assume that William was close by. There is a James Green in the same general area that had a son, William, but we can't find the documentation yet to tie this together. There are still other possibilities so I would hesitate to lock that one down. Regnal was married to Sarah Butt in Berkeley Co., it could have been Regnal Jr. or Sr. According to tax records, Regnal Jr. was 21 or over by 1787. We do know that Regnal Sr.'s wife was named Sarah in 1802, when he sold his property along the Potomac. Regnal was not married to Sarah Duncan. Robert Green discovered after the publication of his book, and Sarah, the sister of Matthew Duncan actually married a man named Greer. If you are interested in the book, it's on CD-Rom. Only the first several pages will be of interest to you. Again, write to my e-mail address if you are interested.

Jacob was born abt 1813 and Hugh was born abt 1816 near Wheeling VA. I find that George and Nancy Chapman of Brooke County VA may be their parents. Some researchers of this family have listed the children that includes a Hugh Chapman born 1811 but no match for Jacob is found in this family. I first suspected that Jacob's father might be a William Chapman due to a naming pattern found with Jacob's children but now suspect that George is the father. I would like to exchange information with anyone reseaching the Chapman families of Brooke & Hancock Counties of Virginia 1800-1840 era who can shed light on my line. I have several generations for the descendants of Jacob & Hugh Chapman in exchange if connected. Chet Neff, Champaign, IL

Hello all listers! I saw the Tarr posting and had to respond. My neice's middle name is Tarr and I knew that it was a family surname of her father's side of the family. I e-mailed my sister and she said that the relationship is as follows: John "Jack" Marshall is the father of my neice. His Grandfather, John Marshall, was a son of Lizze Tarr or Elizabeth Tarr and Oliver Marshall. They lived in New Cumberland, Hancock CO., WV. The grandfather, John Marshall, was assist. Attorney General of the US. They lived near D.C. in Chevy Chase, MD. Jack, the grandson & father of my neice, was City Solictor & Assistant U.S. Attorney in Wheeling, WV. He and my sister divorced in 1986. Jack now lives in Hilton Head, SC. Hope this helps someone out there. -Donna Criswell Mollaun (formerly of Wheeling)
