Hi listers, I am trying to find out what happened to the brother of my gg grandfather. My gg grandfather Robert Thomas Wilson born Caswell Co NC 1840 died 1925 Raleigh Co WV. He served in the 6th NC Infantry. He had another follow him to Raleigh Co Lorenzo Jordon Wilson 1837-1913. According to family history there brother David Wilson 1849 - 1863, died in the Civil War. Robert Thomas Wilson was suppose to have seen his younger brother just before he died. I was hoping another Wilson researcher may some information. I have not been able to find a roster with a David Wilson with a close age match, or coming from the same area of NC as my Wilsons. He probably disappeared into the Civil War and is lost, but maybe another piece of "family history" holds a clue. If anyone researching this family has any information on David Wilson it would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance. George E, Stover

Listers, First, I'm sorry to be using the list for this purpose, but since we have no way of knowing who may or may not have put our names in their email address books, I know of no other way to reach the unsuspecting person whose computer is infected. PLEASE do not respond to the list. There's no point in cluttering up the archives with more OT subject matter. Also, many of you will recieve duplicates of this post, since I've sent it to two neighboring county lists. For that I also apologize. Everyone should know about this virus by now, but just in case you aren't aware of this thing and how it works:  The Sobig.F virus spreads when someone has opened attachments in emails with the subject line "Details," or "Your Details," or "Re: My Details," or "That Movie," or "Wicked Screensaver,"  or a few others.  Once the file is opened, the virus resends itself to email addresses from the infected computer's address book.  And when the emails go out, they don't appear to be from the person whose computer is infected.  The virus picks at random another address from that address book to be the "sender."  The reason I know someone who knows me has the virus is because I keep getting bounced mail  that was sent to people I don't even know.  The mail is being bounced because of virus content.  Obviously the virus has picked me out of someone's address book to be the sender.  Today I have reason to think the problem could be with a genealogy connection because one of those bounced mails had gone to [email protected] Other bounced mails were sent to [email protected]______, [email protected]_______, [email protected]_______, [email protected]______ and [email protected]________. Do any of these names look familiar to anyone? Just so you know, I don't have the virus.  My firewall and virus protection are enabled at all times and updated two or three times a week and my virus scan runs every morning.  These days there's just no excuse for Windows users not to have the latest and best in virus protection. Anyway, I'm asking that you please run your virus scan.  If you find you are infected, and can't fix it any other way, there is a downloadable "fix" at symantec.com.  Please help!  My mailbox keeps filling up with returned mail!  Oh, and by the way, you don't have to respond to me telling me you do or do not have the virus, or that I'm not in your address book...my mailbox is full enough already!  :-) Best regards to all, Sharon Phillips Belenski

I am not a person to write of worm or virus warnings, but in the last 12 hours I've received 6 emails from folks whose emails I did not know, but upon research, they are involved in genealogy on the computer and G sites online and all had attachments ending in .pif, even if each attachment had a different name. They are all variations of the SoBig worm ([email protected]) that I heard of on TV AFTER getting these emails. One referred to a screensaver, one a thank you for something or other, one about an order, another something about details. One file ended in .scr about a screensaver. This will take info (email addresses) from your system or addressbook, etc and send out this message to them all. Not the senders fault, but to avaid the worm, delete emails witout opening the attachment if it is a .pif, in particular. Check this at one of the Security websites. As I said, I checked and found that all the emails are folks involved in Genealogy, so this seemed the place to warn. Take a look at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected] to read more about this. As long as you don't open the attachment you will be safe.

Hi Mike, I sure don't know. Acord is not a direct line for me - they do marry into most of the lines I am researching thereby giving me plenty of Acord cousins. I'll paste some additional information below. At present, I need the parents of Bessie Noel Acord Hawley born March 23, 1899 in Fayette County and died at her home in Oceana, Wyoming County on May 13, 1961. Bessie was buried in the Callaway Cemetery at Glen Daniels on May 15, 1961, survived by her husband Roy Hawley, 4 sons and 4 daughters. I suspect Bessie may be the daughter of Joseph Eugene and Edna Earle Young Acord but need some real proof. Any help there would be appreciated. Rita The Post-Herald, Beckley, W. Va. Tuesday Morning, March 25, 1930 Robert Acord, Raleigh County's Oldest Citizen Answers Final Summons Robert Acord, 103, Raleigh county's oldest citizen, died about 7 o'clock Sunday morning at the home of his son-in-law, James McGraw, at McGraws, Wyoming county after a brief illness. The son of John and Nancy Acord, Robert Acord's life spanned the greater portion of the nation's history. During the war between the United States and Mexico he worked about iron furnaces in Ohio. When war between the states broke out, he enlisted as a soldier of the Confederacy, although then old for active military service. In the Spanish-American war period Mr. Acord was an active gentlemen of 70 years, and a score of years later his mind was sufficiently alert to appreciate the significane of America's entry in the great World war. As a man of 23 years, he was present for the first session of court ever held in Raleigh county, following the formation of Raleigh county in 1850, an event which he recalled vividly in the final years of his life. For more than 50 years he had been a member of the Baptist church, to which he was most devoted. During recent years he made frequent visits to Beckley, where he was greeted by friends who delighted to hear him recite episodes of Raleigh county's early history, which events were ever fresh in his memory. Physically he showed but slight evidence of his great age. His eyesight was unimpaired, and in many ways he showed the vigor of a much younger man. Mr. Acord was born at Bolt, January 6, 1827, ten years before the general assembly of Virginia passed an act establishing the town of Beckley. As were many other men of that day, he was a great hunter, and delighted in the pursuit of the wild game then so plentiful in the wilderness. His entire life, with the exception of his brief period of employment in Ohio, was passed on a farm. The longevity of the Acord family is proverbial, John "Jack" Acord, the father of Robert Acord, lived to be 104 years of age, while his wife, Nancy Acord, the mother of Robert, was more than 80 years of age at the time of her death. However, Robert Acord outlived his brothers and sisters, and is the last of eight children. Mr. Acord went to Jackson county, Ohio, shortly after the outbreak of the Mexican war, attracted by the wages then being paid employees at iron furnaces there. It was during this period in Ohio that he was married. Following the war with Mexico he returned to Raleigh county, settling near what is now Lester, where he resided until his enlistment in the army of the Confederate states of America at the opening of the war between the states. At the conclusion of this war he moved to Wyoming county, where for almost 50 years he resided before returning once more to Raleigh county, about 25 years ago. Since that time he had lived near bolt, where dwell many of his people. Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at Bolt.
