Thanks for information. Sorry, I have nothing on any of the names you listed. Dorothy Miller

The only Robertson? I can find that married a Caldwell was John Wm. F. Robertson (36y5m28d) son of Matthew S. and Mary married Mary Jane Caldwell (25y7m15d) dau of Clayton & Lennie Jan 2, 1866. John Wm. from Roanoke County, VA. I found 2 Caldwell brothers that married Robinson sisters. Sue

I have Caldwells who lived in that area in the early 1800's I have a William Robeson who married ? Caldwell, and I haven't been able to learn her first name. She had a son whom she gave the nameALEXANDER CALDWELL ROBESON That seemed to be common for children to carry the maiden name of the mother. I would appreciate hearing from you.chloe todd Thank you Meklo21@aol.com

Ok. thanks . keep me in mind when you do. Rosannah(Rosey) Vance , born about 1804 or so, in VA. no parents names. Can send you her children's names. She married John Willis, greenbrier Co VA. now wva.

Bonnie, while I have some very old (1800-1880) Vance information pertinent to my grandmother's great aunts, I have not tried to compile any sort of family tree on the Vance surname. Dorothy

CHRONICLES OF THE Scotch-Irish Settlement IN VIRGINIA EXTRACTED FROM THE ORIGINAL COURT RECORDS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY 1745-1800 MILITARY SERVICES. REVOLUTIONARY DECLARATIONS--AUGUSTA COUNTY, VA. page 497 John Bradshaw's Declaration, May 7th, 1833: Aged 74 years on second February, last. In 1776, when 18 years old, he volunteered as spy and was a private in Capt. John Henderson's Company; in 1777, the same; in 1778, the same; in 1779, the same; his duties were to leave Cook's Fort on Indian Creek, now in Monroe County; two went together, his companion being generally James Ellis, but sometimes went in company with the late Col. Samuel Estill, of Kentucky; took stands at the gaps and low places of the mountains between William Lafferty's plantation on New River and the head waters of Laurel Creek, where they met the spies from Burnsides' Fort; they traversed the country, which included the head waters of Big and Little Stony Creek, the Indian Draft, a branch of Indian Creek, and the headwaters of Wolf Creek; they carried their own provisions, being sworn never to build a fire. (John died January 6th, 1835.)

Dear Ed, Thank you for your reply to my e-mail. Yes, I am aware of the location of Greenville. I believe that my great great grandparents, David Hinton and Anna Barbary Maddy Hinton are buried at Greenville. I am not sure of their church membership - it may have been Baptist. By any chance, have you seen any early era (1800-1830) property maps for the Greenville vicinity? Do you know where I might be able to access such a property map? I have quite a few property deed records for my family in Monroe County; however, I do not have any property (location) maps.

Rena, I believe I met you at the Brick Hotel in Craig Co., you were with Steve. I have most of what Steve has on the Crafts and Caldwell and what Don has on the Huffmans. Thank you for answering. Sue

Hi Robert, Thanks for the response. I don't know too much about Cook genealogy, but I know a little about the Cook history. There was a Cook's Fort in the earliest history of Greenbrier -- protection for the settlers during the Indian War era roughly 1755-1763. Cooks Run is in present Monroe Co. and runs into Indian Creek near Greenville. The Miller, Mann, Humphreys and others lived here quite early on. Rev. Cook (I believe) was minister of the Indian Creek Baptist Church. Many of my wife's Humphreys, Miller, Mann, and Ballard ancestors worshipped there. Here is a link to mapquest.com - specifically, a map of the Cook's Run/Indian Creek area. http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?link=btwn/twn-map_results&event=find_select&search=Greenville,+WV,+US&uid=u0b60ddjr8i2k5ie:rsu01gd0y&lat=375433&lng=-806828&country=US&level=6&style=2&width=440&height=280 Maybe some other more COOK knowledgeable folk will see this post at the Monroe-L and help us both.

Hi, I work on the Huffmans, Grays, Crafts and Caldwell in my husband's family and on mine I work on the Greers, Robinson/Robertsons, Woods, Pennington, Maines and Potters. My mothers family is from Franklin, Monroe and Summers counties and Dads is from Ashe County, NC and Johnson County, TN. Sue

Sorry to bother you again. Unable to open the last three files I have received. Just received #175, and file won't open. Is everyone having a problem, or just me? Thanks, Maxine Ellis Ryan ellis@triton.net

I haven't been following the pension situation closely but I have a bit of input, I think. I believe that the subject began receiving a pension long before 1890, is that correct? The reason the 1890 Veterans and Widows census was done was to find those folks so that Congress could set aside moneys to be paid as pensions. Still it was some years before Congress did act and I can't remember just when. Possibly his pension was from the State. I would like to know just for the information. Thanks. Betty in Idaho

William McKinley Helems was the son of Charles Nathan Helems and Minnie Ann Reynolds. I talked to William's son, Eugene. Sue

The William I was talking about was referred to in an email, married to a Spradlin? Rosanna Vance b. circa 1800-1810. Stilll alive in the Giles Co. 1880 census. She was a Willis then, actually married in 1822 , Greenbrier Co records.to John Willis. Can identify her in that census by the other inhabitants of the household. don't know when she died. I think that we have emailed before about her. SAw alot of people lookng for Vances in Logan Co. WV, when I was at the site for the county today.
