Dr. Kerns: Do you have an idea at this point when your next book may be published? I have three of your books and am looking forward to the next one.

Dear Sam, I have 2 large paper records from the West Virginia Advocate. I think years before I spoke to a man who I thought was the publisher of the paper. I never knew it was a book, I thought it was a newspaper. I think the publisher was at one time thought of as being pretty outspoken. I think he has since passed away.The Address follows: The West Virginia Advocate: P. O.

To the List: Mike Foreman sent me the message below in reply to the query I posted on the list as to the current status of the records. I feel that all of you would be interested in the reply, so I am posting it to the list. Seems we may have quieted down prematurely. Elaine in Ohio --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Veerle Foreman <vforeman@shentel.net> To: darrtom@juno.com Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 21:25:38 -0500 Subject: Hampshire records Elaine: I wish I could report some good news to you and others, but it is a total dissaster as I understand it. First, Mr. Rice "quit" before he finished the project for unknown reasons. What was done with the work he had done remains a mystery. I am guessing no one is allowed to copy it but they can look at it. The clerk refuses to make any comments public or otherwise. Dr. Armstrong was attempting to get the clerk some assistance for filming and better storage but that is either on hold or dropped altogether. Attempts to get the county commissioners, the judge and even some state politicians to either intervene or give some answers have been met with total silence. I have no other information or suggestions. It is one of the great tragedies of history and genealogy and for those of us whose ancestors were in Hampshire, the hurt is equalled by the anger we feel toward these calloused, incompetent and probably criminally culpable "officials." Mike

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of "John Bruce of the Shenandoah," by Violet Bruce? John Bruce was one of the early "Opeckin settlers" in old Frederick Co. Thanks, Carol Geiss

The first part of this is directed to Mike Foreman in reference to his message (below) posted 28 Oct 1999. After the posting of the below message, not another word was said on the list about these records until a couple of people reported early this month their experiences in getting copies of some of these records from the courthouse. My question, Mike, is, in your and other subscribers' efforts (mentioned below) to uncover the facts regarding the future of these records, can you tell us what you learned? Next, does ANYONE know if Mr. Rice completed indexing ALL of the basement records, or did he throw in the towel before completion of the index? If he did NOT complete indexing all of the records, what about the unindexed records? Are they going to allow someone else to finish the task? Also, where are the records now going to be stored? Are they going to continue to keep the records languishing in that damp, musty basement or are they going to make some effort at providing some sort of proper storage for these records of the county's history?

Thomas, b. 16th Jan. 1611-12; d. 12th Nov. 1671, third Lord FAIRFAX. He was a participator in the victory obtained by his father at Selby, and commanded the right wing of the parliamentarians at Marston Moor. In the 34th year of his age he was appointed General-in-Chief of the Parliament's armies, and soon after routed the King at Naseby; retook Leicester; beat Col. GORING; took Bridgewater, Dartmouth and Bristol; defeated Lord HOPTON; forced the Prince of Wales into France; and then, reducing the entire West, drove the King from Oxford, in May, 1646, in which year he was made Governor of the Tower of London. After succeeding to the barony, he reduced Colchester; but he took no part in the subsequent proceedings of the Independents, and was entirely free of any participation in the death of the King. In 1650, he resigned the command of the army to CROMWELL; and nine years afterwards, his lordship, coalescing with Sir George DOWNING and General MONK, assisted zealously in restoring the monarchy and was one of the commissioners deputed, upon that occasion, to the King. Soon after this event, Lord FAIRFAX represented the Co. of York in Parliament, but passed the latter end of his life in rural retirement.

Thomas, sixth Lord FAIRFAX, b. at Denton, 1690; d. s. p. at Greenway Court, Va., 9th Dec. 1781. This nobleman inherited from his mother a considerable fortune, consisting of several manors in Kent, estates in the Isle of Wight, and a tract of land in Virginia, called the Northern Neck, comprised within the boundaries of the rivers Potomac and Rappahannock, containing by estimation, 5,700,000 acres. From his father he inherited Denton Hall and other property in Yorkshire, but he was obliged by his mother and grandmother to dispose of those in order to redeem the COLEPEPPER manors. His lordship had a commission in the Horse Guards, but visiting his American estates in 1736, was so captivated with the soil, climate and beauties of Virginia, that after spending a year with Col. Wm. FAIRFAX at Belvoir, he sailed home, settled his affairs, and, in 1739, returned to Virginia, resolved to spend the remainder of his life there; and he soon after erected Greenway Court, in Frederick Co., where he continued ever afterwards to reside in a state of baronial hospitality. His dress was plain and simple, his manners modest and unaffected, and his style of living, magnificent. Such was his generosity, that he gave up his English estates to his brother Robert, and the surplus of his American income [p.275] was distributed among his poor neighbors. His principal amusement was hunting, and after the chase he was wont to invite the whole field to partake of his hospitality. He had been educated in revolutionary principles, and had imbibed high notions of republican liberty. He was Lieutenant and “custos rotulorum” of Frederick Co., and presided at the Provincial Courts of Winchester, Va., where, during the session, he kept an open table. 2.

Dear Barb & List, Samuel J. Stump grandson of Peter married Rebecca Caudy. 3 daughters were born. Margaret E. Stump 1834 Ann Rebecca(Becki) 1836 Sarah Jane(Jennie)1842 Samuel J, known as Squire Stump married Margaret Caudy, a descendant of the pioneer "Indian Fighter". They lived on North River about two miles south of Ice Mountain. He was County Justice in 1850.He died soon after the Civil War 3/30/1869. Mrs. Stump died in 1882. Their daughters Margaret,Rebecca,and Jane were all single. They were charming and had distinct personalities.They had the same fine qualities that make up good citizenship.Always peace and plenty here,shade and flowers and good cheer. In earlier days before the war,the Old Virginia hospitality was freely dispensed at the home. After the parents death these sisters fed the needy and clothed the poor until there was danger that they would not be able to keep themselves. Miss Jane the youngest lived all her life near her kin. She had been seriously injured in later life from the fall off a horse. Tillie Wolford stayed with her. After Tillies death, a widow with children stayed with them. The family is buried in the cemetery on the homeplace as are their slaves, who remained with them after being set free. Shall I go on!

You can see the location of Glebe, WV (Hampshire Co.) on the U.S. Geological Survey's map site at http://www-nmd.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html. Just fill in the Feature Name of Glebe, the state and county. It will give you two results: what would have been the populated place and the post office (both historical, meaning no longer there, but probably some houses there still). At the bottom of each box, click on "Show Feature Details and Location" which will take you to a map. Scroll down and you can zoom in until you get the enlargement which suits your needs. I compared their map to a mapping software program I have which shows back roads, etc. Glebe would be on County Rt. 8. "As the crow flies," about 1 1/2 miles to the south is the southern border of Hampshire Co., about 1 3/4 miles to the west are the South Branch Potomac River and railroad tracks, and about 3-4 miles to the east is the Nathaniel Mtn. Wildlife Management Area. The area is so remote that I'm sure Glebe was no more than a small settlement.

I'm researching 2 Episcopal parish's in the Lancaster-Gettysburg,Pa area 1758- 77. I've certainlt seen glebe's not adjacent to an church. In one case,1776,REV DANIEL Batwell was ministering churches at York Springs-home-,Carlisle, and YORK. In the 2nd, Rev Thomas Barton lived near the Lancaster church,and had Bangor church and Piqua sp? church in the distance. I think,at times,also St Gabrial's at Douglassville,Pa. [Antoni Sodowski is buried there]. These 2 ministers went within British military lines in 1778.

> > Is there or was there a Glebe in Hampshire County as that is what > is on the back of > the picture I asked about? > > Thelma =========== Donna's original answer is correct according to my dictionary which says a glebe was a piece of church land forming all or part of a beneficence. If the land was large enough it may have become known as a village later. Gary Radcliffe
