Linda, Thank you more than words can express. How gracious of you to do this. I am so happy to get this info. Hope I can be of some assistance to you in some way..........Warm Regards, Charlotte http://www.roanoke.infi.net/~charl39/index.htm Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads I need.

how far do the marriage rcords go back to?

my Grandfather B.G. Thompson -son of George Washington Thompson son of Eli just started sometimes very confusing

Hi Linda & all, I am researching the Shrewsburys. I have SARAH^3 SHREWSBURY as the 6th child of PHILLIP^2 SHREWSBURY and of Mary Elizabeth (Betsey) Bailey. She was married to ELI THOMPSON, son of James O Thompson and of Elizabeth Shantafner, but I never found a marriage record for them. Do you know were they got married? Do you have information on their children? Also, Eli�s sister, Charlotte Thompson, was married to PHILIP^3 SHREWSBURY, son of THOMAS^2 SHREWSBURY and of Lucy Maxey. Love to exchange information on any SHREWSBURY line. At 06:35 PM 16 01 2000 -0500, you wrote: >To billie39 >I have information on an Eli Thompson who married a Sally Shrewsbury.

Linda, What a generous offer to do lookups in the Mercer Co. books. I have looked at them both at one time and seem to remember seeing something in one of them and when I returned home discovered I hadn't written it down. Looking for the parents names of Oren Hubert Beckett. I know there is an article about his son Leonard in one of them-that may be where I saw it. Oren was married to Edna Keatley. Also wonder if there is anything about another Beckett-a Thomas Allen who was married to Pauline Roles. They are both buried in Walnut Grove Cem. in Bluefield. Would be interested in Thomas's parents names or any children he and Pauline had. Thank you for your time!

Lovern 6/3/1953-6/3/1953 Steven P. Lovern 5/1953-1953 Methodist Hill Cemetery located at Montcalm Fitzhugh Lee Lovern 8/21/1900-2/20/1936 In 1912, J.C. Carter along with Sam Mason and "Uncle Bill" Lovern bought The Stag, a men's clothing store, from Grover Bowling. Mason and Lovern were silent partners and Carter managed the business. Clarence Lovern was storekeeper at the store that was in Lovern at the old Pine-Morgan home. Coolidge Lovern, nephew of Clarence owns and lives in the old Pine-Morgan-Lovern mansion. Dewey Lovern was a son of Clarence Lovern. The book says the Loverns are buried in the front of the cemetery at the Pine-Morgan home but does not list the names of the Loverns. Hope this helps.

Linda, Not yet, but I have finally gotten in touch with a cousin that his mother was married to Josh. I remember meeting him when I was a kid and he seamed to be in his late sixtys at the time and that was back in the early 70's. Do you have any Bowen's listed in Mercer County after 1900? My grandfather married my grandmother in Bluefield in 1906. His name was William Francis Bowen and her name was Dora Myrtle Conner or Connor. Not sure what way her last name was spelled. Thanks for your time in answering my questions. Pat Lakeland, Florida

Pat, I don't have much on the Hill family although my maiden name is Hill. I don't have a Josh Hill but that doesn't mean there wasn't a Josh in my family - just that I haven't found him yet. Do you have a birthdate or other date concerning Josh? Linda,Roanoke,VA

Linda, I see that you are on the W.Va list and that you list that you are searching on Hill's. Do you have a Josh Hill from around Princeton, that would have been married to a Lillian Bowen? Pat Land Lakeland, Florida

do you know of any where you can purchase these books
