I am looking for birth records for John Stevenson & possibly brother, Francis who were according to one census from Shenandoah. Francis was born 9 July 1778 in "Shenandoah". John was born c: 1780. Don't know parents names or any other siblings. Any leads will be appreciated. Spirit **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

a mighty fortress is our God... -after speaking with a cousin, she said that John Rairden/rarden,rariden,? was married several times.?? His son my ggggrandad? william? was married to cecelia blackburn.?? I am in a quandry to find John.? It is my understanding that many Scots, and Irish came over in the years surrounding 1763 onward due to the British oppression of Gaelic people.? I guess that John marrying so many times, explains the sudden influx of Rairdens in the area. But gee did they have divorce then, or did all his wives pass away... ? ? One hard thing to search for has been Cecelia Blackburn, and Hannah Waugh.. ? This is getting to sound like an alien planted them here...lol? patti?
