Is anyone researching the Stewart family of Mercer Co.? My ggg grandfather Robert Stewart b. ca. 1790 lived 4 miles south of the Princeton courthouse. It appears that his wife was Mary Giles. Robert came to Mercer from Franlin Co., VA. Others in his his family moved there as well. There is no connection with the Wyoming Co. Stewarts. Thank you. Rick Stewart

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: susrichmond Surnames: Bailey, Clay, Cook(e), Lockman, Lyons, Sizemore, Stewart, Tabor, Thompson, and Worrell Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.westvirginia.counties.mercer/830/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm looking for driving directions to the Cooper-Lyon Cemetery at Camp Creek, WV. I was there about seven years ago and if I remember correctly, I exited I77 South onto Rt. 19, then made an almost immediate left, the road curved around and went over I77, after going over the freeway, I went left and the cemetery was a mile or so on the left. Can anyone living in that area confirm these directions? I need to be able to print a google map for someone else, so road names would really help. Also, would anyone have the name, phone number and or address of who to contact in order to bury someone in that cemetery? When I was there, I asked the gentleman living across the road from the cemetery and he said, to just dig a hole. I would think there would be a little more to it than that. Thank you.

Hi Carolyn, My 4th great grandfather was John William Shrewsbury, married to Elizabeth Betsey Bailey. John and Elizabeth had 6 children. One of their children, James William married Julia Ann Basham and another of their children, Isaiah Winton Shrewsbury married Arminta Little. James William is your gggrand grandfather (right?) and Isaiah is my ggggreat grandfather. I have a copy of a picture that a lady I was talking to on the rootsweb message board sent me of a John William Shrewsbury. I don't know which John William he is supposed to be. Would you like to see it? Maybe you could tell me who he is exactly. Also could you fill me in on Eva Catherine's info? I have nothing for her except who her parents are. If there's anything I can help you with, let me know and I'll be glad to share what info I have. Willa nuttytree@aol.com wrote: Hey, Sorry I was so long getting back, had a very busy time of it.

I hope the following will be of interest. In doing a Google search for one of my ancestors, I happened onto Google Books. Their web site is a great searchable resource of modern and old books on about any subject you can think of. Most of the more modern books either have no preview, limited preview or a snippet. Many earlier books have the complete book in a PDF file which can be viewed online or downloaded. When viewed online, they are fully searchable. All have a link which will tell you which libraries have the book and how far away the library is from your zip code. I have done a lot of reading about the Civil War and have developed a preference for books that were written by the original participants or their children. I've been trying to find books of this type about the Revolution and on the Google Books site, I have found many which meet my criteria. Up until now, I've had a hard time finding the old books. I've also found books of old records that have helped with my research on several of my ancestors. The web site address is: http://books.google.com Some of the books I've downloaded are: History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia - 1860 History of the Battle of Point Pleasant - 1909 Stories of the Old Dominion - 1879 The Army of Northern Virginia in 1862 - 1892 The History of the Clay Family - 1899 Loyal West Virginia From 1861 - 1865 - 1895 Annals of Augusta County, Virginia - 1902 The book Images of America - Wyoming County only has a snippet, but you can see page 64 which has two pictures of John Cooke's log cabin.

I was planning on having to send off for a copy from the vital records department. What a nice early Christmas present! Hopefully one day I can repay the favor. Thanks again, and hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
