Thanks Bill Neville in Md.

I have been tracking the Riddick family, whose roots seem to originate in Nansemond County, VA. I would like to compare notes with anyone researching the Riddick line. Thanks

I have been researching the Addison family for some time now. My line started in Virginia, travled to North Carolina, then Ohio, and then drifted over to Indiana. Some of the names are: William Addison, Thomas Addison, Iverson Addison, John Addison, Robert Addison, and, I think Ransom Addison might belong to this Addison line. William Addison left North Carolina in the early 1820's and went to Indiana. William Addison married a lady with the last name of Craig. I would love to share my Addison research with anyone in the same line.

PRUITT- looking for info on David PRUITT b:1812 m: Priscilla NEWTON around 1836 lived in Berlin, Md.

It looks as though David PRUITT died between 1854 and 1860 but that's only as he's not listed on the 1860 census. David's father -may- have been Charles, and Priscilla's mother was likely Susan A. Newton. Any help is greatly appreciated! also if anyone has an idea where to find Pruitt's in a cemetery around Berlin from the 1800's. Thanks again,

I am trying to find any info relating to my G-G-G Grandfather. I have his name as WILLIAM BILLIE BALDING who was born in Northampton County on 6/2/1800.

I have an Elizabeth Leatherbury who was married to Edmund living in Virginia. Apparently after Edmund dies (which is before 1855) Elizabeth moves with her children to Northampton Co., PA. Elizabeth would have been born about 1792. I don't have much more to go on except what I have written. One last thing is that in Elizabeth's will she mentions money owed to her from Virginia. Her children would have been: Sarah Elizabeth, Maria and Mary Ann. I would appreicate any clue as to where I might go next since I am not familiar with Virginia. Thanks for all your help.

Dear Ghotes: Many thanks for your help in the past. This is surely the best site on the web, made up, as it is, of many kind and helpful cousins. Can anyone help me document the marriage of my grandparents William Edward Wise and Gertrude Twiford? They are buried at Mt. Holly Cemetary in Onancock. My father, Edward Revel Wise, was born in 1901, so I assume they were married in 1898=190l. Nora Miller Turman once speculated that they may have been married in Maryland. I know that they lived on a farm outside Onancock for about ten years, and that she lived in Onancock after his death in about 1910. Many thanks for any guidance you may offer. Pat

Looking for information about the Lewers family

I am trying to locate the parents of Robert Drummond Satchell, who was born in Franktown, Northampton County, Virginia on February 6, 1823. I believe his parents to be John Satchell and Leah Drummond, but I cannot find any documentation. RDS was married to Mary Frances Lovett (Lovet, Lovit, Lovitt) by the Rev. Dr. Nelson in Norfolk, Virginia in 1853. He died in Norfolk on February 14, 1900 and is buied in Elmwood Cemetary in Norfolk.

The marriage license from the State gives no parental information, nor do any of the census records, cemetary records, or city directories that I have found. I have a copy of his obit, but it does not mention parents.

Any help will be appreciated.

My great-grandfather was Clarence Payson Jacobs and we believe he came from Temperanceville, VA. Somehow, he came to San Francisco where we believe he married our great-grandmother (records burned in 1906 earthquake/fire) and had several children, of which my grandmother, Lillian May Jacobs, was one.

I can fill in some of the San Francisco pieces if anyone has Clarence Jacobs in their family tree.

Just a novice, I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Hi, Am looking for Samuel Jr.'s b 1710 son Elijah b 1740 I have an unkn Brittingham b 1735/40 and died before 1783. He had two sons, Elijah b 1763 and Isaac b 1765. Leslie Dryden thought that Micajah Brittingham b 1711 who married Tabitha Newbold could have been the father. I am not sure this is true, as the dates do not align close enough. Samuel Jr.'s Elijah b 1740 is the closest born date to my unkn Brittingham and is the last and hardest to find. Leslie also thought it could be another Elijah, as one was unacounted for in Pitts Creek at that time. Any help in locating this Elijah b 1740 giving his wife and children would be oh, so, greatfully accepted.

I am researching information on on great, great, great grandparents. They were residents of Mulberry Island. Alexander Ash was born in 1835 and his wife was born in about 1841. They had 8 children (I believe) They were both listed in the 1880 census as mulattoes. Some of the childrens names were Susan, Lottie, Julia, Willie, Mary. They lived right on the James River across from the Jones House in Fort Eustis. As much as I have gone through the history of what is now Fort Eustis, all attempts seem to have been made to leave out that part of history when the residents were forced to sell their property for about an acre and given about a month to vacate. The Ash Family will be having its 8th reunion in August.

Can anyone provide or guide me to solid confirmation that ties any, repeat any Perry Co.,IN K. family descendant of Richard Kellam who came from England to the Eastern Shore in 1634.

The spelling of this surname has numerous variations that developed as the people went west,south and north. I have one ancestor whose name was spelled 10 different ways over a 20 year span of land tax records in Hardin Co.,KY. Perry Co. has one of the largest concentrations of K.families in the U.S.. This has made it difficult to trace one line all the way back to Richard Kellam but it seems to have significant support in tax records and migration patterns.

I have a Henry Simpson b. 5-3-1806 VA and found that he was an orphan from the from the Greene Co., TN Court Minutes in 1817. He was indentured at that time to James McPherron but released in 1818 if he would leave Greene County, TN. I think he may have been from a wealthy family because of the terms of the indenture. He also signed a bond for . at age 21 to marry Anna Carter. In addition, he sold 125 acres in 1831 at age 25. I have found a John Simpson who owned 403 acrs of land in 1797 and 75 acres of this land was sold by Henry Simpson, but it was owned by Ellis King since 1805 when he bought it from Jonathan Fuston, and no record could be found of him selling it. Is there a list of guardianships or something that would show orphans who inherited land in VA in 1817 or 1830? Since I do not know which county to search for information in, I need some sort of general listing if there is such a thing.

My first visit to Virgina I commented that it was so beautiful why did anyone leave. Apparently my ancestors did.

He had a son THOMAS WADLEY II born in Goochland County. The family eventually went to TN and my branch to MO. That's all I know - how can I find where Thomas I settled and to whom was he indentured - and how do I go about getting more info? Thanks!
