Hello Mary Lou, I do not show Richard or Ann Patton Thomas in my files. However, there are quite a few Thomas people marrying into my families, that I do research. Here is an example. I have several more if you are interested. Wonder if you or anyone has the parents of this Thomas.... Descendants of Alice Minerva Thomas 1 Alice Minerva Thomas b: December 6, 1880 in Tuppers Creek, Kanawha County, West Virginia d: December 5, 1960 .. +James Henry Legg b: November 4, 1879 in Kanawha County, West Virginia As a matter of fact, this James Legg is the son of William H. Legg and Margaret Harper, who I will be reporting on later. I have written reports on Thomas family from the Greenbrier Family Heritage 1997 book, but did not check them against my files....

Dear listers, I am *still* annotating the 1860 Bath census with maiden names, and I can't find these women! Does anybody know the maiden names (with a source, please) of the following women found in the 1860 Bath county census? I have checked Bath/Highland birth/death records and Bath, Pocahontas, Highland, Augusta, Rockbridge, Rockingham, & Alleghany county marriage records. I've also checked Morton's History of Highland co (online), CD 229 (VA marriage index), & the LDS site online. I'm hoping that one of you will have these people in your files or other books. These are all names I have *not* sent to these lists before this. The single dates mean "married in or before this year", based on the age of their eldest child in the census. LYLE/LILE, John & Sarah/Sally -1848 (can't find this couple in the 1850 VA census either, so I suspect one or both first names to be wrong; children are Martha, Esteline, Thomas) MASTERS, Frederick & Patsy/Martha 1850-1851 MERRITT, John & Elizabeth -1834 MORRIS/MORRISON, Josiah & Jane -1841 or 1850-1860 O'KANE/O'CANE, Thomas & Anne -1832 PERKINS/PURKINS, Stephen & Mary, 1820-1850 ROBERTS, Daniel & Mary -1845 RODGERS/ROGERS, Goodman/Reuben & Harriet -1849 or -1832 RUSH, Henry E. & Mary J., -1831 SEYBERT, A.F. & Mary J. -1860 SIMPSON/SAMPSON, Rezin & Mary J. KEYSER -1837 SNYDER, William & Julia A. -1851 SPROUSE, Garland & Martha J., 1850-1860 STONESTREET, R. & Mary, -1860 TAYLOR, Almond S. & Julia A., 1850-1860 TERRELL, John & Elizabeth -1848 THOMPSON/THOMSON, (George) Washington & Elizabeth/Isabella, -1846 TUNING/TUNEING/CHUNING/CHEWNING, Joseph & Lucinda/Winney/Sallie -1850 WEBSTER, Henry H. & Hannah/Catharine -1853 WELDON, John H. & Jane A. -1837 WINDON or FORBES, Richard & Rachel WINDON 1850-1860 WINN, George M. & Emma H. 1850-1860 I'm offering free lookups in the 1850 VA and 1860 Bath/Highland census in return for any help, and a free annotated 1860 Bath census book (when it's published) if you send me 5 or more maiden names with sources.

Joyce Cooper <[email protected]> Wow! You have 5 different guys with the name Thomas George. Your information should be very helpful to George investigators. Thanks for sharing it. Most of it is a generation or two later than the dates I am searcing for, but with the similarity of names, it would seem that they ought to be "family" in some way. [Now I have even more puzzles to fill in. (Grin)] You mentioned sources of information. Karen Kessler Cottrill has been very helpful, most of my information on William Carroll and Jane George comes from her and Cheryl McGraw. Yes, I did make a typo. Cheryl McGraw has proposed that Jane's father's name is Thomas George. I got so busy typing "thomas" that I accidently switched first names when I should have written William Carroll. The question I would like to re-phrase is, "Do we think William Carroll married twice and that one of his wives was Jane George?" W.L. Barker has pointed out a Jane George, the daughter of Richard George [1709-1773] and Elizabeth Ann Mayo [1716-1774] who were wed in 1734 in Middlesex Co, VA. With a little "push", we might estimate her dates to "fit." Juhling McClung

Hi, I am looking for a William Henry Hantzmon whose son Henry Milliard Hantzmon was born I believe in Greenbriar County in 1858. I would like to check the censuses for 1860, 70 & 80. Can anyone tell me if they are online anywhere? I have found some censuses for Russell County online. Also, was Greenbriar a part of Virginia at that time? Or West Virginia? Thanks, Mary Lou

Carol, Your information from the history of Summers County and the will of Thomas George her father, indicate that Jane George could have been the correct age to marry Thomas Carroll as a second marriage. You have her listed as the wife of Enos Huffman. Do we know if he died early? Thanks so much for sending along all this great Information. Juhling McClung

Hi, I am looking for information on Richard Thomas and Nancy Jane (Bright) Henning. Richard and Nancy were married in Lewisburg on April 11, 1865. She had been married before to Washington Grant Henning. Richard and Nancy had at least one daughter, Anne Patton Thomas, b. Feb. 11, 1866 in Lewisburg. Anne married Henry Milliard Hantzmon. Is anyone researching this family? Thank you, Mary Lou

Louise, Your missing marriage record may have been filed in a neighboring county or in a different type of record (there are marriages in deed books, land office records, court order books etc.) Elusive marriage of one of my ancestors was not recorded in the county marriage book, but it was finally found "in loose papers" and published in an appendix.

Thanks to all the people on the board who wrote me with suggestions on lodging and other information for our trip. I now know that we won't be able to accomplish more than 1% of what I'd like to do, but I think we will enjoy being in the area. Thanks again. Brenda
