EDITORIAL
ITS 1993. AND WHERE ARE YOUR ANCESTORS!!!
This little play on words certainly has some implications for the family researcher. All of us who have been involved in genealogical endeavors for some time have branches of our families which defy the rational approaches to research. We trace every lead, use every form of deductive logic, to give us the clues necessary to find conclusive evidence.
Being a genealogical researcher is similar to being a private detective. Sometimes we must look beyond the obvious, and utilize our reasoning skills to approach the problem at hand. If a record does not exist in the county will or probate books for someone we are researching, we should not just accept that as a fact. Often times wills appeared in other public records or documents, sometimes not even in the county or state being researched. We don't just look in the county where our ancestors resided, but in all of the surrounding counties as well. Knowing the history and formation of the counties and states aids us in this research.
This leads us to one of the basic philosophies of publication utilized by The Southside Virginian. We believe that presenting transcriptions of the records in their entirety gives our readers much more useful information. Abstracts are certainly valuable in that they provide a short synopsis of masses of raw genealogical data. But, they cannot give you the little clues that may be needed to deduce relationships or family interactions. In reading abstracts, one cannot understand the flavor of the life and times of the individuals whose names are included.
This is not a put-down of abstractors. Abstractors provide a valuable and very necessary service for researchers. We cannot all get to the courthouse and read all of the records there. What we can do however, is obtain copies of the original documents from which the abstracts were taken. This not only allows us to confirm the abstractors work, but when these copies are read, allows us to see the context in which the original document was produced. This is where we may get the clues we need to make our future research decisions.
If we only look at the raw data which we record on the genealogy charts, how many clues to the missing individuals will we miss? We must remember that our ancestors lived 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for their entire lives. They interacted with their families, neighbors, and government. Just as we do today. When we think of them as living, breathing, individuals who made decisions about their lives based on these interactions, we can come to truly know them. They are not just entries in a clerk's records, which have now been condensed into a line in an abstraction.
As a magazine devoted to the HISTORY AND GENEALOGY of Southside Virginia, we prefer to publish the complete records when available. We will, of course, continue to publish abstractions of voluminous records. We do hope that the mix of transcriptions and abstractions which we provide, gives our subscribers an insight into the lives of the people of Southside Virginia.

BOOK REVIEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dorothy S. Provine, Index to District of Columbia Wills 1801-1920. 218 pp; paper (8V2 x 11); $25.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). 1992. More than 22,700 wills were filed in the District of Columbia Orphans' Court (Probate Ct.) during the time period 1801-1920. These records were transferred to the District of Columbia Archives, 1300 Naylor Ct., NW, Washington, DC 20001-4225, in 1990, and assigned to Record Group 2, Records of Superior Court. Ms. Provine has provided an alphabetical listing of these records which are stored in the Archives by year of filing and then alphabetically. The entries consist of name of person, year of filing (which is often a short time after the death of the testator), and the number of the archive box holding the document. Although the list contains many names of notable historical figures (e.g., Francis Scott Key, Dolly Madison, George Washington), the majority are those of the local middle and upper class property owners who wished proper distribution of their possessions. A large number of these wills were penned by Washington's more prosperous African- Americans. This book is an excellent tool for anyone researching individuals living in the District of Columbia during the 19th century. Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 N. Calvert St, Baltimore, MD 21202. (800) 296-6687.
Janice L. Abercrombie and Richard Slatten, Virginia Publick Claims, 69 volumes. Pages vary per volume; index in each volume; acid-free paper; paper (6 x 9); price varies per volume (shipping $1.50 for $0-10.00 order, $2.50 for $10.01- 25.00 order, $3.50 for $25.01-50.00 order, $4.50 for over $50.00 order). The Publick Claims represent the reports made by the county courts to Richmond, in booklet form, constituting the claims made by the civilian population for contributions to the Revolutionary War. These typically were for provisions or services rendered to military. For instance, in the Brunswick County booklet on p. 58 is a listing of "Persons employed in beef driving," which gives a listing of individuals, the number of days they served, and what they were paid. On p. 72 is a listing of individuals who were to receive £1/10 for furnishing "cloathing & beef for the Army the 13th Dec. 1782." These booklets (one county per booklet) contain useful and interesting information about more than 75,000 individuals generally for whom other written records have not survived. The late Mr. Slatten recognized the value of these records and, in conjunction with Mrs. Abercrombie, began abstracting the claims. Unfortunately, he was not to see the project completed before his death. Mrs. Abercrombie has continued the undertaking and all booklets have now been completed. Information for the booklets was obtained from the originals housed at the Virginia State Archives and Library in Record Group 48. The booklet for Accomack County has not survived, so the Accomack County Publick Claims were taken from the county court order books. Originally, three counties now in Kentucky and two now in Pennsylvania were included in the records. These booklets have not survived. Each county book is printed separately and the cost depends on the number of pages in the book. The following are the prices and length of books on Southside Counties:

David Dobson, Scottish-American Court Records, 1733-1783. 105 pp; index; cloth; $18.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1991). The economic expansion of Scottish interests to American trade produced many records that have been deposited in the Scottish Record Office in Edinburgh. The minute books of the Court of Session and High Court of Admiralty provide the identity of many people in America engaged in commerce (and litigation) in Scotland. This is the first published work of this material. Scottish-American Wills, 1650-1900. 137 pp; cloth. 1991. $20.00. By the same author. This book provides an index to the testaments and inventories of 2,000 Scots who died in America and whose wills were proved in Scotland, as taken from the Scottish Record Office. Also of interest to researchers with Scottish ancestors: David Moody, Scottish Family History. 219 pp index; cloth. 1989. $19.95. Scottish Local History. 178 pp; index; cloth. 1989. $19.95. Include $2.50 postage for first book, $1.00 for each additional book. Genealogical Publishing Co, 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202. (800) 296-6687.
REPRINTS
Frederick Lewis Weis with additions and corrections by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists - Who Came to America before 1 700 (formerly Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists Who Came to New England between 1623 and 1650). xx; 276 pp; index; cloth (6 x 9); $25.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1950, 7th Ed. 1992). This is the classic work on certain colonists who came to America prior to 1700. As noted by the numerous releases of this book, the research is constantly being updated, refined and extended. Although this work primarily centers on New England colonists, there are numerous references to Virginia and Maryland individuals (e.g., Sarah Ludlow m Col. John Carter of VA, Dannet Abney of Spotsylvania Co, VA, Thomas Gerard of St. Mary's Co, MD). In addition to Alfred the Great, Charlemagne, Malcolm of Scotland, and Robert the Strong, descents are traced from these ancestral lines: Saxon and English monarchs, Gallic monarchs, early Irish and Scottish kings, Welsh, Gallo-Roman and Alsatian kings and princes, Norman and French barons, the Riparian branch of the Merovingian House, Merovingian kings of France, Isabel de Vermandois and William de Warenne, and Rurik, Grand Prince of Kiev.
Page 4 The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 1
After Mr. Weis died in 1966, Mr. Sheppard along with his correspondents have continued and improved on Ancestral Roots. He states in the Preface, "...although I consider this the best work of its kind in print, it is NOT a reference work and should NOT be cited (any more than any other similar work) as evidence on a lineage blank for membership in a hereditary society. Go to the source material for this kind of thing." This work is an excellent example of continuing genealogical research. Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202 (800) 296-6687.
Emma R. Matheny and Helen K. Yates, Marriages of Lunenberg County, Virginia, 1746-1853. iii; 177 pp; illus; fold-out map; index; cloth (6 x 9); $21.75 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1967, Rprt. 1990). Lunenburg County comprised the territory contained in nine present-day Virginia counties, when it was formed in 1746. Entries are listed alphabetically by husbands name and include brides' name, surety, person performing the marriage, location of the return, and other names mentioned. The index includes the names of brides, sureties, and others. Details of over 2400 of the earliest Lunenburg County marriages are recorded in this excellent reference work which covers a large portion of Southside Virginia. Order from Clearfield Co., 200 E. Eager St, Baltimore MD 21202. (410)625-9004.
Augusta B. Fothergill, Marriage Records of Brunswick County, Virginia, 1 730-1852. 153 pp; index; cloth (6 x 9); $18.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1953, Rprt. 1989). Approximately 7,500 grooms, brides, parents, and sureties from Brunswick County are included in this work. It is an unusually complete collection of the extant marriage records based not only on the surviving marriage bonds, but also includes marriages which have been reconstructed from wills, deeds, and estate settlements found in the order books and other county record books. The listings were copied and indexed by the compiler in 1927 at the request of the Brunswick County supervisors. The records found in the loose papers begin in 1752 and continue until the vital statistics commenced in 1852. The entries are listed alphabetically by groom, and include the date of the bond, the brides name, surety, and other names. Unfortunately, the index contains only the brides' names and does not include the other names mentioned in the entries. Order from Clearfield Co., 200 E. Eager St., Baltimore MD 21202. (410)625-9004.
Virginia Anderton Dodd, Henry County, Virginia, Marriage Bonds, 1778-1849. 132 pp; index; cloth (6 x 9); $14.95 + $3.00 shipping. (1953, Rprt. 1989). This book is a compilation of the marriage records from the formation of Henry County in 1778 until the commencement of the vital statistics in 1849. Henry County was formed from Pittsylvania County in 1776 and encompassed the present day counties of Henry, Patrick, and the greater part of Franklin. This work consists of three lists. The first is a listing of the marriage bonds arranged alphabetically by husband's name. It includes the bride's name, date of bond, consents, and other names. The second list is an alphabetical index of brides' names cross-referenced to the husband. The third is a list of minister's returns arranged alphabetically by the husband's name. Each entry includes bride's name, date of return, and minister's names. Order from Clearfield Co., 200 E. Eager SL, Baltimore MD 21202. (410)625-9004.

George Cabell Greer, Early Virginia Immigrants, 1623-1666. 376 pp; cloth (6 x 9); $20.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1912, Rprt. 1989). This work is a listing of nearly 25,000 immigrants to Virginia from 1623 through 1666, who were not the original patentees of land. Compiled by G. C. Greer, Clerk of the Virginia State Land Office, this book is an excellent companion to Nugent's Cavaliers and Pioneers. The entries are arranged alphabetically by immigrant and include sponsor, date, and place of residence if given. This is a must for anyone doing research for early Virginia families. Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202. (800) 296-6687.
Anne Lowry Worrell, Over the Mountain Men, Their Early Court Records in Southwest Virginia. 69 pp; paper (6 x 9); $6.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1934, Rprt. 1991). This unassuming book contains records which include some 9000 persons from various Southside/southwest Virginia counties. Four types of records are presented — marriages, wills, Revolutionary petitions, and gravestones. The marriage records are from Bedford, Franklin, Grayson, Pulaski, and Roanoke. The wills are from Bedford, Botetourt, Carroll, Floyd, Grayson, Pulaski, and Roanoke. These two categories represent the majority of the records. The Revolutionary petitions and tombstone inscriptions come from many of these same counties. The dates on the records vary, but most of them are from the late 18th and 19* centuries. The entries are arranged alphabetically by type of record and county. This volume is a most helpful addition to the Southside researchers library, but would be enhanced by the inclusion of an everyname index. Although the entries are arranged alphabetically, the additional names mentioned within each record are not indexed. Valuable reprints such as this, should be provided with the same accompanying tools that researchers have come to expect from current publications. Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 N. Calvert St, Baltimore, MD 21202. (800) 296-6687.
Gertrude E. Gray, Virginia, Northern Neck Land Grants — 1694-1742. x; 184 pp; index; cloth (6 x 9); $20.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1987, Rprt. 1988). The Northern Neck of Virginia consists of the land between the Potomac and the Rappahannock rivers. In 1649, this land was granted to seven individuals, by Charles the exiled son of Charles I. The son of one the original patentees, Thomas Culpeper, had purchased and become the sole proprietor of this area by 1681. Nugent's Cavaliers and Pioneers covers the Colonial patents from 1623 to 1732. The Virginia Genealogical Society has continued the publication of the Colonial patents in serial form in The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy. The Virginia State Library issued a Supplement containing the Northern Neck Grants from 1690 to September 3, 1692. The grants included in this work were included in the Virginia Colony Grant Books until 1690, when agents of the Proprietary issued and maintained them separately from the Colonial grants. The "headlight" system utilized by the Colony of Virginia, was never used in the Northern Neck. "Warrants" were purchased by people wanting land. The official surveyor then platted the land and returned the warrant along with the plat to the Proprietor for issuance of a grant, if no discrepancies or prior claims were present. The originals of surveys and warrants exist for most of the Northern Neck land
Page 6 The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 1
grants. These often provide additional information not found in the actual grants. This work encompasses Northern Neck Grant Books 1-5 and A-E. Books 5 and E contain survey plats of most of the grants in those books. The compiler used microfilms of the original Grant Books in performing the abstracts presented. The original Grant Books are held at the Virginia State Library and Archives, Richmond, as Northern Neck Grants, 1690-1874, under Land Office (Record Group 4). Ms. Gray has copied the names exactly as they appeared in the original documents. Included in the listing are: grant book and page, name of grantee, residence (if given), number of acres granted, location, surveyor, adjacent land owners, date of issuance, and whether a survey plat exists in the deed book. The compiler has included useful notes concerning the entries. Multiple spellings of a name occurring in the same record are indicated by parenthesis. The index includes all names contained in the grants. We all owe Ms. Gray much thanks for her work in making these early Virginia land records more accessible to all researchers.

Louis des Cognets, Jr., English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records. 380 pp; index; cloth (6 x 9); $25.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1958, Rprt. 1990). The compiler of these records spent the summer of 1957 in the Public Record Office in London, gathering the materials. These original materials, which had been sent from Virginia to the Colonial Office, were microfilmed and then transcribed for publication. Much of this material represents previously unknown information about 17th and 18th century Virginia. The following is a sampling of the many lists included: civil and military officers, clergy and parish, conveyances, coroners, county officers, grievances, militia officers, surveyors, sheriffs, and even "pirate's prisoners." Two groups of records are most notable. These are 1) "Patents for Land, 1699-1737" (with gaps), which lists the name of the patentee, date, county, and acreage and 2) "Rent Rolls for 1704," which lists thousands of land owners and their acreage in twenty Virginia counties. Included is an everyname index which provides easy access to the large quantity of records presented. Many of the records included in this work pertain to Southside Virginia counties or locations and this a most valuable volume for any researchers library.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Iberian Publishing Company, 548 Cedar Creek Dr., Athens, GA 30605-3408, announces that they have acquired the titles of Mrs. Marion Dodson Chiarito. As many of you are aware, Mrs. Chiarito has provided numerous works on Halifax County will books, deed books, and other records. Iberian has acquired these titles by purchasing the inventory of Clarkton Press and will be reprinting them as that inventory is depleted. All researchers in Southside will benefit from the continuing availability of these publications.
Invitation To "A Chesapeake Homecoming." The National Genealogical Society (NGS) invites genealogists nationwide to "come home to the Chesapeake" for its 1993 Conference in the States to be held in Baltimore, Maryland, from 2 - 5 June. The conference will coincide with the Society's ninetieth birthday. Assisting with local arrangements will be the Genealogical Council of Maryland and its member societies.
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 1 Page 7
Lectures and exhibits will be located in the Baltimore Convention Center just two blocks west of the many attraction of the Inner Harbor. The Sheraton Inner Harbor, connected to the Convention Center by a skywalk, will serve as the headquarters hotel. Conference rates will also be available at other nearby hotels.
A wide variety of lectures, workshops, and luncheons will offer registrants a rich genealogical menu from which to choose. The conference program will highlight the resources and research centers of the Chesapeake states and their immediate neighbors, the major ethnic groups that settled in the region, and migrations from Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania to other parts of the country. Other lectures will focus on the uses of land records throughout the region and the nation and on the methodology of genealogical research. Another strong component of the program will be lectures and workshops on the uses of computers in genealogy. Meetings and luncheons sponsored by national genealogical organizations will be scheduled throughout the four-day conference.
Conference registrants will have opportunities to do research in a variety of genealogical research facilities in Baltimore and its vicinity, including the Maryland Historical Society, the Enoch Pratt Free Library, the Peabody Library, the Baltimore City Archives, the Baltimore City Courthouse, and the Baltimore County Courthouse. The Maryland State Archives in Annapolis is only twenty-five miles from Baltimore, and downtown Baltimore is connected by commuter trains to Washington, D.C. and its major research centers.
The conference brochure, with details of the program and special events and registration information, will be available in early 1993. The brochure will be mailed to all NGS members, and copies will be distributed to genealogical libraries across the country and to societies and libraries in the Chesapeake region.

'Brunswicf^ County Court Records
1748 Freeholders Submitted by Dennis Hudgins
A list of the polls of the Brunswick County Freeholders, voting for their Burgesses of 1748, is contained in Brunswick County Deed Book 3, pages 510-518. The polls are in six lists, recorded by John Willis and Michael Wall, Sheriff, and were entered during the October 1748 Court Session but dated 13 June 1748. At the time of these voting sessions, Brunswick County also included what is now Greensville County. As each voter had two choices of the six candidates, the names from all six lists have been combined into one list to show the voters choices. Therefore, a near true voting order can be established. The numbers under each candidate are ordinal in value and indicate where the voter appeared in each candidate's list.
The following is a brief analysis of the voting:
The first two clerks of the court won the voting and were obviously the most popular versus the militia officers and larger land owners. In South Brunswick, Colonels Wall and Edwards were large land owners and were evidently well known to their immediate neighbors.
Captain Edmunds apparently did not have a large militia responsibility in the northwest part of the County, especially against the popular public servants, Stith and Clack. Additionally, his area in the NW part of the county was in the expansion route to the newly formed and growing Lunenburg County between the Meherrin and Nottoway rivers.
Colonel Willis evidently also lacked a large militia following in the northeastern part of the county. One other point is that he came from Gloucester County, buying out the large Harrison estate which is now in northern Greensville County near the Otterdam Swamp. The Willis family can be found in other Southside counties such as Sussex where they also purchased some of the large Harrison tracts.
The following transcription of Brunswick County Order Book 3 page 387, provides a general overview of the county organization of that time.
At a Court held for Brunswick County at the Courthouse of the said County the Second dy of June 1748

Correction and Commentary
Harrup vs Harris — Reading Original Records
by Christopher M. Hooper
The following letter was received recently by The Southside Virginian:
'1 am in the process of researching the Harrup family and find that quite often the name Harrup is confused with the name Harris. Of course this can be quite disastrous. Therefore, one must be cautious when reading original documents and also cautious accepting extractions of others without checking the original source. I know this from personal experience, since I have both Harrup and Harris names to contend with in my research.
In VOL. VIII #3, Jury 1990, of The Southside Virginian, a chancery suit in 1766 has been extracted to read William Harris married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Manning (died 1749) and his wife Sarah, who married 2) William Hatfield.
Upon examination of the original chancery suit, I have found that William HARRUP not Harris married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Manning, etc. I am sending you a copy of the original record in the hope that you will print a corrected abstract of this suit in the future."
We would like to thank Vivian W. Zaruba of Sutherland, Virginia for her correct observation, and for providing us with the opportunity to call this common mistake to the attention of other researchers.
Ms. Zaruba makes a point that should be foremost in all of our research efforts, whether for publication or for our own family history. Always check the original document before accepting any published material as fact. This cannot be emphasized enough.
Genealogical abstractors and transcribers do a marvelous service for us all when they publish records that we do not have the time or accessibility to view first hand. This allows us the opportunity to quickly screen out records which are not of interest to us. We are of course, relying on the publishers thoroughness and accuracy when we utilize these sources. This is where the trap lies. All of us are human. All of us make mistakes. After many hours of reading the elaborate or faded handwriting of some court clerk or the feeble handwriting on the will of one near death, it is easy to see where these mistakes can be made. And, not all of these mistakes are the result of errors made by the researcher. Quite often court clerks were inconsistent in their entries.
We must all be aware of similarities in names that we are researching, and perform additional research on entries where possible errors might exist. Ms.
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 1 Page 37
Zaruba's Harrup/Harris is an excellent example. As a result of the colonial practice of writing "ss" as a£T it is easy to see how an abstractor might confuse the "up" of the less common name Harrup with the "is" of the more common name Harris or Harriss. See reproduction of entry below.
Of course, the error is compounded when one considers that any wife, children, or other close relatives which were listed along with the incorrect transcription would now be indicated as having Harris as a surname instead of Harrup. The implications of such a mistake can have far reaching effects beyond just the individual in question.
This should be a lesson to all of us. Search for ALL variations and spellings of any name which you are researching. Be familiar with other names in the area in which you are researching which may be similar in spelling or sound to those of interest. In our own family we have a similar circumstance. A 3rd Gr. grandfather named Halter immigrated to New Orleans in the 1840s. Numerous records, including census and city directories, have the name spelled as Haider. This was probably a result of the French accent with which he spoke his name to the census takers.
For those of you who have Volume VIII, Number 3 (1990), please correct the name William Harris found on page 99, to William Harrup. In the Index for Volume VIII, found in Number 4 on page 201, please delete entries for "William Harris p. 99," and "Elizabeth Harris p. 99" and make entries for "William Harrup, p. 99." and Elizabeth Harrup p. 99." For those who have The Table of Contents and Indexes to Vols. I through VIII, please make the correction immediately above on page 233. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope that this provides all of us with an insight that will enhance our research.

Bedford County Historic Places
Taney Farm"
Transcribed by Kathryn Sawyer Hooper
Location: 3.7 miles northwest of Bedford, Virginia on Route #43, West side of road, 30 yards off Highway.
Date: 1780
Owners: Andrew Donald 1780 Isaac Scott 1806 John Scon 1820 Robt N. Kelso 1832 Mrs. W. D. Hooper 1875 S. R. Watson 1917 Elizabeth Ferris 1917 L. O. Johnson 1919 Sir Geo. Sitwell of Derby England 1921
Description: There are two architectural oddities. The rear wall has exactly the same number of windows as the front but they are "blind windows" the interior wall not coming to the outer walls thus leaving a space of six inches between them. Another oddity is the brick squared tunnel running from one chimney to the other. All the flues of the 12 fire places open into this tunnel. In each chimney at a point just below the place at which the tunnel joins the chimney is a window and as one stands on the ground and looks through this window the tunnel may be seen in part. The arrangement probably was a precaution against fires spreading. Another architectural point of interest is the pair of Ionic pillars at the door way leading from hall to parlor. A like pair is directly across the hall leading into the opposite room. At each side of the fireplaces on each side of these fireplaces, also, recessed in the wall is a doomed rectangular space which may have been for candle sticks. At the left rear corner of the hall is a stairway which runs in such a way across the rear side that one can look through a large fan glass of a
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 1 Page 39
rear door on through the fan glass of the front door. It is said this arrangement was convenient for inspecting visitors before the front door was opened. The original smoke house stands and several very ancient trees are in the yard, probably 500 years old.
Historical Significance:
Andrew Donald was a member of the Glasgow Scotland firm known as the Robert Donald Company. As early as 1776 Andrew lived at New London on a plantation purchased from Tom Calloway, the tract containing 937 acres. In addition to his importing he raised tobacco and wheat His office and warehouse was at Richmond and when a ship load came in he traveled horseback to Richmond to meet it. After the Revolution all the Scotch and English importers, refusing to renounce allegiance to King George, left the country but Donald took the oath of Allegiance to the United States and remained at "Fancy Farm" where he tried to start another industry, sheep raising on the hills and mountain sides. These sheep were imported thoroughbreds and it is said the sheep, in this country were until about 1865 or 70 the offspring of Andrew Donald's sheep.
There is a tradition of a murder of one mistress of early days. She compelled the slaves to remove their shoes each time they came in with a load of grain to store in the attic. Infuriated, one slave killed her. The grain kernels now in the attic are thought to be from the days of the first ownership and the stains in the attic are said to be human blood stains.

EDITORIAL
Query — to ask questions about, especially in order to resolve a doubt. That is the definition in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary. What an apt word to describe the tool that we use to seek missing information in our genealogical endeavors. We use endeavor to describe our research because genealogy is more than just a hobby. Once the bug has bitten, it becomes an all-consuming part of our lives. The researcher strives to get every last shred of information out of each record that is discovered. We believe that this same concept applies when queries are written for publication. There are so many unanswered questions that it is felt that as much as possible must be crammed into each query. This is where the cause is often hurt rather than aided.
The Southside Virginian has, in the past, tried to limit the length of queries which we publish. There have been many reasons for this. Providing access to as many subscribers as possible, is not the least of these. But, an underlying reason is that shorter queries are easier to read and often receive more attention. A concise, well written query will provide the essential known information about one or two individuals, and then just as concisely, state what is being searched for.
Queries which ramble on and contain every date and relationship for all known members of a family become confusing and disjointed. An example follows:
Seek information on John Smith, b 1782, m Sally Jones 1802 dau of James Jones of ABC Co b 1770 & Sarah (?) d 1835 in XYZ Co, TN. Brothers Frank b 1779 a blacksmith, Geo. b 1781 m Mary Lewis dau of Judge T. J. Lewis of HJK Co, Tom b 1785 d 1786, & Henry b 1786.
Who was born in 1770 — Sally Jones or her father James? Who died in 1835 — John Smith, Sally Jones, or Sarah (?)? [This type of mistake is very common in queries we receive.] Whose brothers are listed [we assume John Smith's, but], and if John's, what does it matter when they were born since his birth date is given? What does it matter that Frank was a blacksmith, or that Geo's wife Sally's father was a judge? This type of information is certainly important [and will be shared with any succesful respondent], but has dubious, if any, value to the person reading it and trying to determine if their ancestors match the ones the query is really about.
Print or type your queries carefully, so that we can read and understand what is intended. Read over them before dropping them in the mail. Check your spelling. You are very familiar with the lines being traced, other people are not. When you write a query, think of what you would need to know if you were reading it.
We attempt to clarify queries when problems are noticed but, if we can't figure them out (and we have looked at thousands), we must print them as they are submitted. The query above could have been much more effective had it been written as follows:
Seek p of John Smith, b 1782, d 1835 in XYZ Co, TN, m 1802 Sally Jones, dau James Jones & Sarah (?). John's brothers: Frank, Geo., Tom & Henry.
Please continue to submit your queries, as The Southside Virginian is the ideal forum. A targeted audience of hundreds of subscribers, with a vast knowledge of the history and genealogy of Southside Virginia, will read them. The above are suggested in an effort to assist you in receiving the most benefit from all of your efforts.

Wynette Parks Haun, Pasquotank County, North Carolina County Court Minutes 1745 thru 1753 Book II, 141 pp; paper (8^2 x 11); index; $17.50 (postpaid) (NC tax 5%). (1990). This compilation of county court minutes is Mrs. Haun's interpretation of these records in order to make them more understandable to the researcher. It is the second of three volumes being prepared, which, when complete, will cover the Pasquotank County, Minutes of County Court Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Vol: C.R.75.006, Years: 1737-1755. Her Preface lists the many difficulties confronting the reader of the original records, and indicates the lengths to which she has gone to verify and confirm partial or faded entries. The entries are listed by page number assigned to the original document, and these are the numbers utilized in the everyname index to easily locate each individual. The efforts Mrs. Haun takes to make this compilation complete and easy to use make this volume, like all of her work, a tremendous value to anyone researching ancestors in this area of North Carolina. Order from the compiler, 243 Argonne Dr., Durham, NC 27704.

As stated in an introduction to the original documents by the North Carolina Archives and reproduced in this volume, "Specie certificates were issued to persons having claims against the state... [and] ... were issued for both military service and supplies furnished. The State redeemed these certificates by several methods, one of which was the opening for entry of the western lands (now Tennessee)." This listing includes the grantor(s) and grantee of the certificate along with the dates, sums and interest involved.
Volume II is a journal of the proceedings of the commission held to liquidate the accounts of the Continental Army officers and soldiers of North Carolina. This encompasses the period 1783 through 1792. The entries include the name of the claimant, the basis of the claim, the period for which the claim was allowed, and the amount allowed. Reproduced, is the original index to Vol. II Book 2 (ZZ).

documentation is presented as is an extensive bibliography. Mr. Heinegg provides an essay on the growth of the free black population in his Prologue.
The majority of this work is taken up with detailed genealogies of some 225 free black families, with supporting information thoroughly documented. A full-name index is provided to assist the researcher in locating any of the 8,000 individuals included. Anyone who has attempted the almost impossible task of early black research will appreciate the work done by Mr. Heinegg. We wish that the book format had been larger so that a larger type size could have been utilized to provide for easier reading. This slight short-coming should not prevent anyone from acquiring this book, as its content overcomes any superficial flaw. Order from Clearfield Company, 200 E. Eager St, Baltimore, MD 21202. (410) 625-9004.
Carol McGinnis, Virginia Genealogy, Sources and Resources, 505 pp; index; maps; charts; cloth (6 x 9); $35.00 + $3.00 shipping (MD tax 5%, MI tax 4%). (1993).

Included in this volume are sources and alternative sources for; vital records, census records and their substitutes, land and court records, counties and their records, cities and their records, collections, historical and genealogical societies. A comprehensive bibliography is also included. The introduction gives a very complete look at how the material was gathered. Much was done through personal research, but the chapters on counties, cities, collections and societies were completed through the use of surveys mailed to the appropriate entities. Ms. McGinnis' response rate from these surveys was extremely good, and the resulting data yields a very thorough listing of the available information. These surveys were mailed to 95 counties, 41 independent cities, 231 libraries, and 157 genealogical or historical societies. The Bibliography runs to 125 pages and contains references to 1421 books and articles. Brief historical essays are included on the state and counties as well as other entities. This work organizes the available resources for Virginia research into one volume and should grace the shelf of any serious researcher. Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1001 N.

SUBSCRIBER NOTICE
We have recently received several letters from subscribers who inform us that they have not gotten their issues of The Southside Virginian or renewal notices. We have also had several items returned by the Postal Service marked, "Temporarily Away." We have checked with the Postmaster as to what may be happening. It appears that the Postal Service may not hold or forward anything but First Class mail unless special provisions have been made by the receiving party. As The Southside Virginian utilizes Third Class (bulk) mail for the majority of our distributions, many of these items are apparently being thrown out, or returned to us by the Postal Service, when you have your mail held. We recommend that if you are going to be gone for some time, contact your Post Office and make arrangements for them to hold your Third Class mail.

In the winter of 1864-65 an epidemic of small pox raged in the hospitals for wounded soldiers in Lynchburg. So rapid were the deaths that it was difficult to bury the victims. An excavation, 60 feet by 60 feet was made in the Methodist or City Cemetery and the bodies of 398 Confederate Soldiers were placed therein. A granite gateway at the entrance and a marble shaft in the center of the plat commemorate these dead soldiers.
On the shaft is inscribed:
In Memory of the Common Soldiers Who Died Of Small Pox In The Hospitals Of Lynchburg During The War Between The States.
Adjoining the above mentioned plat there is a large section which was set apart for the burial of Confederate soldiers who died in the Hospitals in Lynchburg during the War Between the States or who were killed in battles fought in Virginia and whose bodies were brought here for interment Three thousand one hundred and fifty (3150) graves have markers, giving the initials of the deceased, his state, regiment and company.
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 2 Page 81
In the midst of these markers there is one broken marble headstone. Pieced together, the inscription reads:
N. A. Sullins, Co. H. 61st. Ala. Regt. Born Mar. 27, 1823, Died in Ladies Hospital at Lynchburg, April 1st, 1865.
(In regard to this monument, Mrs. James Scott, President of the Confederate Memorial Association, states that her brother, while on a voyage to Montreal, Canada, a number of years ago, struck up a ship acquaintance with a lady from Alabama who, upon learning that he was from Lynchburg Va., informed him that she had a brother who died during the War Between the States in Lynchburg, but that she had never been able to secure any other information in regard to him. Upon his return to Lynchburg Mrs. Scott's brother requested the Association to sec if there was any record of Colonel Sullin's death. His grave was identified, and this marble monument was erected with funds furnished by the sister)

The earliest records show that the Calloways built the first iron furnace which was operated in this county, they having moved in from Bedford County, Virginia.
In 1767, one Peter Saunders from Cumberland County, Virginia, eloped to what is now Franklin County. His wife was Mary Sparrell, adopted daughter and niece of Governor Giles of Virginia. Tradition says the families of Mary and Peter Saunders were so disgusted with them for leaving the culture and comforts of Eastern Virginia, that John Hyde Saunders, father of Peter, threatened to cut his son out of his inheritance, however, in his will probated in Cumberland County dated March 29, 1768, Will Book 1, page 340, he gave to his son Peter, 1950 acres in Pittsylvania County, a negro named Humphery, one feather bed and furniture, one pair of hand millstones, two iron pots, and one frying pan is lent to him during his life and to the heirs of his body forever.
Peter, had a King's grant of land and a considerable acreage was bought from the Calloways in 1767, just a year before he inherited the 1950 acres from his father, all of which made him one of the largest land owners in this part of the State. It is recorded in the family papers that his first home was a cabin, and when he took his slaves to work at clearing the land, he had to
The Southside Virginian, VoL XI No. 2 Page 85
lock his wife and her maid in the cabin to keep the wolves from devouring them. This story is authentic, as Mr. John B. Saunders and Miss Anne E. Saunders, the great-grand children of Peter Saunders, remember hearing this from two of the slaves which he owned.
The first Saunders home was built six miles west of Ferrum, Virginia, on the north side of Route #40. Peter Saunders was one of the first Justices of the first court held in Henry County, Virginia, April 20, 1778, he also served in the Virginia Legislature in 1781, with Patrick Henry, who was also a Representative from Henry County. When Franklin County was formed out of Bedford and Henry counties in 1784, he was one of the first Justices of the court in Franklin County, he was Lieutenant Colonel of Henry County Militia in 1782.
The Saunders, Calloway, Hale, and Early families intermarried and built homes in different parts of the county. Of Peter Saunders children, one daughter Dorcia, married John Hale, and built a home on Gillis Creek, exact location unknown. Elisabeth married Samuel Hairston, and she was the grand-mother of General Jubal A. Early. Fleming married Alice Watts and built a home at "Bleak Hill" on what is now Route #120, five miles west of Ferrum, but this home was burned in 1825, and the present home "Bleak Hill" was rebuilt by his son Peter, in 1856.
Fleming was educated at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and married in May 1814 to Alice Watts, daughter of William Watts of Campbell County, Virginia. He was appointed Judge of the Tenth Circuit of the Fifth District, April 20, 1831. He received this appointment as a complete surprise. The first he knew of it, was when addressed by a neighbor as Judge. None of his decisions were ever reversed by the Supreme Court. He resigned in full possession of his mental faculties, and on being reproached for this action, said he wanted to resign while he had sense enough to do so.
Polly married Wyley Woods, and built a home two hundred yards west of Route #220, 10 miles south of Rocky Mount, Virginia. His sons, Peter and Samuel (Saunders), operated the iron furnace located one half mile south of Rocky Mount, three hundred yards west of Route #220. This furnace may be seen from the highway. There was a forge located about a mile lower down on Pigg River. The pig iron was molded into various articles, plows, stoves, nails and pots which were shipped by mule teams through the Carolinas, and lumber brought back on the return trips to build Peter and Samuel Saunders' homes. This iron forge has been completely destroyed.
Samuel married Mary Ingles, grand -daughter of the famous Mary Ingles who was stolen by the Indians in 1755, they were the parents of thirteen children, among whom were Mary, who was married to James Calloway, of Calloway, Virginia, in 1855. Margaret married John Stafford Hale, Rocky Mount, Virginia in 1850. Sallie Ann married Peter Guerrant in 1863. John Ingles married Ann Booth in 1850, and Crockett married Docia Calloway in 1864-
Page 86 The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 2
When a boy, Samuel had an injury to his ankle and had to have his foot amputated, and when he was eighteen he had to have his leg amputated higher up, then the second year after he was married, he had to have it amputated above the knee. He drove from his home eighteen miles to Rocky Mount, on his own land, and called on his friend, Dr. Will Hopkins, a practicing physician at Rocky Mount Dr. Hopkins told him it would take four hours to chisel through the bone, and as anesthetics were unknown at that time, he had the injured member removed and lived a number of years afterward.
The Calloways had large farming interests, which were carried on by a number of slaves.
J. S. Hale operated what was at that time a large tobacco factory, and employed one hundred and fifty slaves. This factory was located where the present Hotel Rocky Mount now stands, and was built on land which was inherited by his wife from her father, Samuel Saunders.
Samuel and Peter Saunders worked about two hundred slaves at the furnace and forge. The slaves lived in cabins located on a hill above the furnace. This hill is almost perpendicular on the north side, which was the side nearest the furnace, and the slaves nicknamed it "Skuffing Hill," which name it still bears.
The social life was confined to trips; very occasionally to Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia, and other cities of the east, such as Baltimore and New York, but mostly in visiting each other. The descendants of these families recall the stories told them of whole families visiting each other, taking maids, nurses and men servants; and as the men were great fox hunters, whole packs of dogs.
Even in shopping their tastes were so similar that they bought furniture and house furnishings exactly alike. In one instance three identical suits of furniture were bought in the Carper, Hale and Saunders families. This was solid mahogany bedroom furniture with large tester beds, marble topped bureaus and wash stands. They also imported mahogany lumber and had an expert cabinet maker from Lynchburg come and direct the slaves in making furniture for their various homes. Native woods such as Cherry and Walnut were used also.

POWELL'S CREEK The above Virginia Historical Marker numbered K-212 is located in Prince George County, on State Route 10, 5.3 miles west of Burrowsville. It states "The creek nearby was named for Nathaniel Powell, acting governor in 1619. Weyanoke Indian town was here. Nearby is the site of an old mill, known in the Revolution as Bland's, and later, Cocke's Mill. The British General Phillips passed here, May 1781. Here Grant's army, after crossing the James, turned towards Petersburg, June, 1864."

EDITORIAL
What a wonderful age we live in. With computers, modems, cellular phones, and faxes we can receive, compile, and record information instantly from sources all over the country, or the world for that matter. With this newfound ability to "communicate" comes a very great responsibility. We must be sure that what we communicate is accurate and conveys the thoughts intended. This is particularly true in the historical and genealogical fields. Unfortunately, just as in the news media, when someone reads something in print, they take it as the truth — quite often without any question as to whether it could be true or not.
We all make mistakes. After all we are human. The machines mentioned above only convey the thoughts that we, as humans, have recorded in them. The fact that it is recorded does not somehow magically make it 100% accurate. Be on guard. Many books are finding their way into print by virtue of the ease of publication afforded by machines. This is wonderful. Magazines such as The Southside Virginian could not be produced without the aid of computers, at least not at affordable rates. The quality of the product though, can not be judged by the outside appearance, but rather by the quality of the information contained therein.
When using information obtained from anything other than the primary source (court records, marriage licenses, etc.), it must be verified for accuracy. This applies to transcriptions, family histories, and information supplied in this magazine. That is why we include source documentation along with each article. This allows the researcher to go to the original and verify its contents for use in their work.
This is why we request that ALL material submitted for publication include the source references, where they are available. If something is purely speculation, with no documentary evidence, it should be labelled as such, so that readers may draw their own conclusions. Please continue to submit your material for publication. You are one of our best resources of unpublished documents. Through your research, you find the unusual, misplaced wills, bible records, and other items which would otherwise be unavailable.
We encourage you to make your family research materials available to others through your local or state libraries, archives or societies. It is alarming to think of the years of research which are often lost because this matter had not been discussed with loved ones before the death of the researcher. Think of the records which may be sitting in boxes in some uninterested relative's attic, waiting to be destroyed by age or fire. If possible, publish your material in some organized manner so that a person unfamiliar with your family may make use of it. Although this type of publication often has limited interest to those outside the family discussed, it is none-the-less a potentially valuable aid to other researchers. Just be sure that the information is as well documented as possible, so that the references may be checked in the future.
If books are submitted to The Southside Virginian, please indicate whether you wish them reviewed or just announced. Be sure to indicate where they may be obtained, how much each costs (including tax), and the price of postage if not included. If you are just submitting a book to us to keep in our library for future reference, and do not want it reviewed or announced, please indicate this also.
If we work together to make sure that all of our material is well documented and that its preservation is assured, this proliferation of information will benefit not only us, but future generations as well.

BOOK REVIEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Clifford L. Gant, John Gant ca 1 713-1 783 of Virginia and North Carolina, xix, 367 pp; illus; maps; 3 indices; cloth (6 x 9); acid-free paper; 1992. $25.00 postpaid. This is a family history of the author's ancestor, John Gant, who was born in Isle of Wight Co., VA, cl713. He received a land patent in Edgecombe Co., NC in 1739. The known descendants of his eight sons are traced into the late 1800s. The author has included his research on the ancestry of John Gant as well as a compilation of information on other Gant families of Virginia, the Carolinas and other southern states in the 17th and 18th centuries. Information is also given on a Gant family in England and Flanders beginning in the 10th century. Information on unidentified Gant families are included as well. A descendant chart is provided which goes beyond the 4th generation for most lines and to the present on the author's line. Surnames of related families mentioned in the book, which often include a short history, are: Aldridge, Alexander, Armstrong, Ashley, Bass, Boist, Boon, Cloninger, Cunningham, Daniel, Davis, Garrison, Harbour, Harper, Hill, Isley, Judge, Lollar, Lovens, Luna, McCracken, Martin, Minnis, Norwood, Polk, Perkins, Phillips, Pickens, Rainey, Ray, Riggens, Rippey, Robinson, Shearin, Sherril, Shirley, Thomas, Thornton, Townley, Wakefield, Webster, Wilhite and Wood. Surnames of others which were associated with the Gant family in the early 1700s are: Abernathy, Allen, Bailey, Barnes, Brantley, Brasswell, Edwards, Epes, Green, Hadley, Jones, Lanier, Lewis, Liles, Parram, Perry, Tillman, Turner, Vick, Washington and Williams.
The book is well documented with references given in "Footnotes and Sources" at the end of each chapter. Where the author has speculated about a given occurrence or association, the evidence for such speculation is included. It is very well organized and is not just thrown together as family history books sometimes are. This is the type of book which puts into print, for the benefit of others, the research of several family individuals. While it is of limited value to those families not included, it may be of immense value to any one researching the surnames noted. Purchase from the author at 5541 Firestone, La Quinta, CA 92253.
Herman W. Ferguson, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Will Abstracts, 1 791 - 1868, Books A-J and Tax Lists, 1797, 1798, 1799, 1806, & 1807, xi, 366 pp; index; maps, soft -cover (8V2 x 11); 1993. $30.00 postpaid, NC residents add 6% sales tax. As with his previous work Genealogical Deed Abstracts - Mecklenburg County, North Carolina - Books 10-14, reviewed in these pages in the July-Sept 1992 issue, Mr. Ferguson has gone to great lengths to present the material in this work in a manner which is of the utmost benefit to the researcher. Little things, such as differentiating the typeface between the names and relationships and the rest of the text make searching for individuals much easier. The everyname index including place names and occupations, includes over 10,000 entries. And, the unique method of indexing provides the researcher with an easy tool for locating just the right piece of information. In her foreward, noted genealogist and lecturer Jo White Lynn states the importance of this work, which is the ensuing volume to Holcomb's Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Abstracts of Early Wills, 1 763-1 790 (1749-1790). She states that together, these works "... make available to genealogists and historians abstracts of the recorded and unrecorded wills ...
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 3 Page 107
from the formation of the county in 1763 through 1868, the wills of more than one hundred years." Her glowing comments mirror our opinion of the quality of the author's work.
As no tax lists exist for Mecklenburg County prior to 1797, the wills and deeds are extremely important. Abstracts of the deeds through Book 9 were previously published by Holcomb, and, as stated above, Mr. Ferguson has published Books 10-14. Now with the completion of this work, the wills are also available. Some 1305 recorded and unrecorded wills from this period are included.
The tax lists were transcribed with the help of Mr. Ferguson's brother, Robert B. Ferguson. As stated in Ms. Lynn's forward, "Until this book, no effort has been employed to publish the tax lists of Mecklenburg County...." The transcriptions included represent the earliest five years for which the records are virtually complete. The wills and tax lists supplement each other in that the wills usually represent the more affluent segment of society, whereas the tax lists attempted to register all of the taxable individuals.
As has been stated on numerous occasions, the proximity of North and South Carolina to Southside Virginia compels researchers in these jurisdictions to consider the records of the others. This fine work should be one which is consulted when your trail leads to North Carolina. Purchase from the author at 600 Chad Dr., Rocky Mount, NC 27803.

Here March 12, 1773, Dabney Carr offered and the Convention of Virginia unanimously adopted the resolution to appoint a committee to correspond with similar committees in the other colonies: The first step taken towards the union of the states.
Here May 15, 1776, the Convention of Virginia through resolutions drafted by Edmund Pendleton, offered by Thomas Nelson, Junior, advocated by Patrick Henry unanimously called on Congress to declare the colonies free and independent states.
Here June 12, 1776, was adopted by the convention the immortal work of George Mason, the Declaration of Rights: and on June 29, 1776 the first written constitution of a free and independent state ever framed.
The reverse side of the monument has the following list of names, given in three groups of four columns each, possibly corresponding with the three dates given in the heading, to wit:

Amelia, & O^pttoway counties Family History and Bible Record
A Southside Family Goes West
The Bible records of John Motley Submitted by John Hale Stutesman
A Bible now in the hands of Ann Griffiths, 112 Lewis Court, Greensburg, Kentucky, 42743, contains a record of the life and family of "John Mottley Jun(ior)" who was "Born 27th May 1774," married twice, had eight children, and migrated west from Virginia to Kentucky where he "Departed this life 20th June 1828." That record, with the accompanying family record of his son-in-law, Josiah Brummal, who bought the Bible at the estate sale in 1828, is published here because Motley and his ancestors for several generations were residents of the "Southside."
John Motley (Mottley), born 27 May 1774 in Amelia County, Virginia, was a son of Joel and Mary (Williams) Motley who were married in 1769 in Amelia County. Joel was a son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Forrest) Motley who came out of Gloucester County, Virginia, to settle in that part of Amelia County which would become Nottoway County. *
In 1799, Matthew Robertson rendered to the Amelia County Court his account of his guardianship of "John Mottley, Orphan of Joel Mottley" who, that record stated, "came of age on 27 May 1795." b That was the man who marked in his own Bible, "John Mottley Jun. Born 27th May 1774."
Official marriage records of Amelia County show that John Mottley made bond there 21 December 1798 for his marriage to Polly Williams Elmore, daughter of Thomas Elmore. They were married 25 December 1798 by Rev. John Skurrey. Although he did not note her maiden name, John Mottley wrote in his Bible:
■ 17A8 Feb. 1737/38 Joseph Mottley of the County of Gloster bought land on Flat Creek in Amelia County. Deed Book 1, p. 112. b Will Book 6, p. 56
Page 134 77?e Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 3
"John Mottley Jun. married on the 25th December 1798 Polley Williams Mottley Born 30th August 1783."
That marriage produced the eight children mentioned in the Bible record, including the Elizabeth Elmore Mottley who would marry Josiah Brummal in 1828 in Green County, Kentucky, and a son, William Mottley, who would die gallantly at the Battle of San Jacinto which was so crucial in the fight for independence of Texas.
The household of John Mottley Jr. was counted in the 1810 census of Amelia County, Virginia, with 21 slaves. In December of that year, he bought the land in Green County, Kentucky, where he would spend the rest of his life.
After the death there of his first wife, John Mottley married in 1821 Sylvia Wilkinson Hundley, a daughter of Josiah and Elizabeth (Motley) Hundley, who had been neighbors to the Motleys on Flat Creek waters in Virginia.
John Mottley died, as noted in his Bible, 20 June 1828. He was buried in the "Motley" Cemetery in southeastern Green County, Kentucky, under a gravestone which his widow, who preferred a single 't' in her name, inscribed:
John Motley 27 May 1774 20 June 1828
His widow joined him there in 1865, surviving the Civil War; although, as late as December 1864, when she made her will, she did not perceive its outcome. Her bequests of slaves in Kentucky in the last winter of that war show that the elderly lady misunderstood its purpose and certain end.

EDITORIAL
Another year has passed, and it is renewal time once again. As last year, your address label is affixed to the reverse of the renewal form. If the address is correct on the renewal form, all you must do is place this form in the enclosed addressed envelope, enclose a check for the proper amount, affix a stamp, and your set for another year. No other action is necessary. Of course, if the address is incorrect, we ask that you carefully print the new address in the space provided.
If you have a multi-year subscription, you will still receive a renewal notice along with your magazine, due to the way we must process our mailing. For your convenience, we have printed the expiration date in the upper right corner of the address label. If your expiration date falls after 10/30/93, you will not need to respond. You will continue to receive The Southside Virginian without interruption. We would like to suggest that more of our subscribers avail themselves of this multi-year subscription process. Not only will it save you time and effort, but will guarantee that you will continue to receive the only magazine dedicated to providing the history and genealogy of Southside Virginia.
In spite of rising costs, we are maintaining our subscription price of $20.00. As we instituted last year, we must charge an additional $2.00, to cover postage, for subscriptions received after March 1, 1994. This has worked well and permits us to keep the subscription rate down. Please take a moment, right now while you are thinking about it, and return your renewal form. It will save both of us time and money.
Sales of the Table of Contents and Indexes to Vols I through VIII continue strong and this required a second printing. Likewise, we have had to reprint many of the back issues to satisfy the demand. This proves that the material provided in The Southside Virginian becomes more valuable as time goes by. Many of the libraries around the nation have purchased complete sets of all back issues for their genealogical collections. We are contemplating the publication of a table of contents and everyname index for Volumes IX through XL This index will be unlike those included in the previous compilation for Vols I through VIII. Where the previous book merely reprinted the individual indexes from the included Volumes, this book will include one index with all names included. Owing to the computerized techniques which we utilize for the preparation of The Southside Virginian, the accuracy of this table of contents and index will be superior. We will keep you informed as our work progresses.
The coming year promises to hold many exciting features for The Southside Virginian. For instance, starting with this issue, we will begin a series covering the first recorded court records from the various Southside counties. The article "Chesterfield County Court — The First Year" is the first of this series. These records will be transcribed by Dennis Hudgins, a most dedicated researcher whose work has previously graced these pages.
Finally, we would like to encourage you to continue to send in materials which you have discovered and would like to share with other Southside researchers. By publishing these materials, all of us may be able to fill in those missing gaps in our family histories. Happy hunting!!!

BOOK REVIEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
The following books may be ordered from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 N. Calvert St, Baltimore, MD 21202-3897 (800) 296-6687. Add $3 postage & handling for the first book and $1 for each additional book (MD res. add 5% tax; MI res. add 4% tax).
Henry Z, Jones, Jr., FASG, Psychic Roots — Serendipity & Intuition in Genealogy, xiii, 236 pp; photos; index; paper (6x9); 1993. $14.95. Many people might be put off by the title of this book but, how else can we describe the events that many of us have experienced during the course of our genealogical research. Mr. Jones, a well known television and motion picture personality as well as a noted genealogical researcher, author and speaker, has endeavored to document many of the unexplainable happenstances that seem to occur to people performing family research.
He relates his own experiences with these serendipitous occurrences and how they seemed to draw him deeper and deeper into all phases of genealogical work. Down through the years, he wondered if other researchers were having similar experiences. He began cautiously to inquire of others about their episodes. Upon learning that his experiences were not unique, Mr. Jones wrote inquiries to 300 of the most noted genealogists around the world. Surprisingly, he received over 200 replies. Most all of the responses suggested that Mr. Jones had in fact tuned into something of substance. His book relates many of these illogical occurrences that have happened to researchers from all over.
Some of our own researchers, here in Virginia, have provided events for inclusion in Psychic Roots. Mary McCambell Bell, of Arlington states, '1 was discussing my Dad's memoirs with his sister Ruth. Daddy had talked about going out west during the time he was in college with his uncle and aunt, John Stoffel and his wife Edith (Newman). Casually he mentioned having seen some cousins named Mountcastle on the trip. I asked Aunt Ruth who these people could be, as I had never heard off them, and she said that they must be related to the Newmans. I had compiled a 75 page genealogy of my dad's maternal Rankin family and remembered that there were some Newmans mentioned in the manuscript When I pulled it out and opened it, my finger was lying not only on the correct page, but right on the sentence where it told that one of the Newman girls had married a Mr. Mountcastle! I could have spent hours searching through that thing looking for the Newmans. Maybe it's just a quirk of chance, but I'd like those chances to come more often."
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 4 Page 155
Hundred's of similar events are described in the researcher's own words in Psychic Roots. We have had similar experiences ourselves. Ones which, when we recall them today, make the hair on the back of our neck stand up. In fact, one such event is the reason we began our own family research.
Mr. Jones does not try to provide explanations for these serendipitous occurrences. Rather, he suggests that something or someone seems to be at work in guiding us in the direction we need to travel to discover the secrets of our past. We wholeheartedly concur. Although not a research aid, this book is fantastic reading and lets us know that we are not alone in the experiences we have.
Robert Armistead Stewart, The History of Virginia 's Navy of the Revolution, 279 pp; indexed; cloth (6x9); 1934, repr. 1993. $25.00. Not until this work was originally published in 1933 was a complete roster of Virginia's sailors of the Revolution available. Having the largest Navy of any state, Virginia's role in the naval actions of the Revolution are documented in the first half of the book. This role consisted not only of active engagements with her enemies, but of other equally important functions such as transporting troops, supplies, and munitions.
These actions are documented for the period 1775, beginning with the seizure of gunpowder in Virginia by Lord Dunsmore, to 1782 and what is termed "The Battle of the Barges."
The second half of the book consists of a roster of the officers and men of the Virginia Navy of the Revolution, and is as complete as extant records permit. The sources for this roster include ships lists, county order books, pension claim papers, bounty warrants, military certificates, rejected claims, and the Journals of the House of Delegates of Virginia. The author states that "many documents dealing with the naval service were destroyed or have disappeared, and, in consequence, the names and service of hundreds of patriotic seamen and marines must remain in oblivion. That the list of officers, however, approaches completeness is reasonably assured." Following the name of each man is his rank or status of enlistment, name of vessel or vessels served upon, length of service, native country, reference to sources of information as to heirs, and, as available, a partial list of descendants. The native county of many members of the Virginia Navy is recorded. But, where not listed, a note in the preface to the roster suggests, "It may be safely surmised, however, that the crew of a ship immediately after its commission was largely drawn from the locality where the vessel was constructed or first put into
Page 156 The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 4
service." Thus, the military service of many hundreds of Virginians is compiled in this volume.
Once again, Genealogical Publishing provides us with a reprint of a most valuable work. This book will no doubt allow many researchers to obtain documentation of their ancestor's Revolutionary War service.
Joyce Martin Murray, Logan County, Kentucky — Deed Abstracts 1792- 1813, Abstracts of Deed Books Volumes Al, A, B, Q 176 pp; map; three indices; paper (8!/2xll); 1993. $30.00 plus $3 postage & handling (TX res. add 8Vi% tax). The author states in her preface that the settlers of Logan County, KY, created in 1792, consisted primarily of immigrants from Virginia. She states further that "Many settlers came because of the granting by Virginia of lands in the District set apart for Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Continental Line of the American Revolution."
As with most deed books this work primarily deals with the immediate locality involved. However, there are almost always references to other places of residence or origin. This volume is no different. The author has provided not only a name index and a slave index, but a place name index as well. A scan of this index reveals listings for most, if not all, Southside counties. One such is listed for Amelia and Prince Edward counties on page 18 of this work:
"Page 381 [Deed Book A-T] Indenture 27 Dec 1798 RICHARD WILLSON, Amelia Co, VA, one part, and MILLER LEE of Prince Edward Co, other part, $199 paid, 200 acres in Dist set apart for Officers & soldiers of Continen line on waters of Gaspers river and beg at SW cor of RICHARD PARKER Sur 746. Wit C BURCH, SAMUEL FORD, WILLIAM BURDING. Ack in Amelia Co, VA on 23 May 1799 before JPs Ford and EDWD EGGLESTON. Certif by JAMES TOWNES, CAC."
Ms. Murray has created a fine reference work for anyone whose research trail leads westward from Virginia through southwestern Kentucky. Order from the author at 2921 Daniel, Dallas, TX 75205.

Historic Cemetery Dedicated — Formal dedication was held on Saturday, August 14, 1993, of the Stanton Family Cemetery in northeastern Buckingham County off of State Rt 677. This is the first black family-owned cemetery to be placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery consists of more than 30 graves which are believed to be the resting place of at least four generations of the Stanton family, one of the few free black families in Buckingham County prior to the Civil War.
The first burial in the cemetery is believed to have been Nancy Stanton, who purchased the land in 1853. In so doing, she became the first free black to own land in the region. She died later that same year. This information was taken from an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Section C, pp. 1 & 2, Sunday, August 15, 1993.

AmeCia & (Prince 'Edward counties Bible Records
Old Family Bible Looking For Its Family
By Steve Clark — Richmond Times-Dispatch
Edmund C. Arnold is looking for a good home for a Good Book with a checkered past.
It's a family Bible that apparently lost its Virginia family in the Civil War's final days, when the Bible fell into the hands of (horrors!) a Yankee cavalry officer who took it home to New York state. Where did Ed Arnold get the Bible?
'One of my students gave it to me at least 10 years ago," said Arnold, a retired Virginia Commonwealth University journalism professor. "He had found it in an old barn."
For the life of him, Arnold can't remember the student's name or where the barn was. Arnold pretty much had forgotten he had the thick and heavy Bible until this summer when he and his wife, Viola, came upon it while taking inventory of possessions in their Ginter Park home. The house is for sale and they plan to move to Roanoke.
Arnold doesn't want to discard the Bible, which is in good condition considering its age and all it must have been through since it was published in 1855. But he doesn't want to lug it to Roanoke.
What Arnold wants to do is give it to someone descended from the Virginians to whom it first belonged. Who were they?
Based on family records inscribed in the Bible, the first owners must have been a couple named Richilieu and Cornelia Coleman, whose marriage on April 18, 1860, is recorded. Also recorded are the birth dates of two children: William Coleman (May 4, 1862) and Marion Armistead Coleman (April 25, 1864).
Where this Coleman family lived is not certain, but my hunch is they lived in Amelia or Prince Edward county, which will be explained in a minute.
First, let us consider the most intriguing inscription in the old Bible. Written in pencil, this inscription reads as follows:
Page 174 The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 4
"Captured on the bellfield rade of Va. April 8 1865 by Charley Raleigh company G 24 NY calvery and presented to the captain L.J. Cole on the same day and was used for his pillow until surrender of Lea. "
Despite the misspellings and the grammatical flaws, this inscription provides some important pieces to this historical puzzle.
It lets us assume that in a raid in Virginia near the end of the Civil War, the Bible was appropriated by a Union soldier, who gave it to CapL L.J. Cole of New York's 24th calvary regiment
Subsequent records in the Bible indicate that Cole took it home, and his family, who lived near Watertown, NY, used the Coleman family Bible as their family Bible.
The name "Lydia H. Cole" is stamped on the inside cover, and an inscription that reads, "I give my all to God," is signed (undated) by someone named Eddie Cole, of Sandy Creek, N.Y.
"Who would use someone's else's family Bible as their family Bible?" Arnold said. Yankees, Ed. Yankees who couldn't spell Lee.
Now, why is it likely that the Coleman family of Virginia lived in Amelia or Prince Edward county?
Assuming the information about Capt, L.J. Cole's outfit (New York's 24th calvary) is correct, and assuming that perplexing "bellfield rade of Va." took place on or about April 8, 1865, then it is almost certain the rad was in Amelia or Prince Edward.
Official war records show that over a period of several days leading up to Lee's surrender at Appomattox, the 24th New York calvary fought in several engagements in both Amelia and Prince Edward.
The best guess, therefore, is that this family Bible belonged to Richilieu and Cornelia Coleman, and they lived on one of those two Virginia counties.
It's all guesswork, to be sure, but if anyone reading this knows anything about the Colemans and their descendants, get in touch with me and I'll put you in touch with Ed Arnold.
He wants to return their family Bible to them.

"Bedford County Historic Places
"dowell" - "Otter View Farm"
Transcribed by Kathryn Sawyer Hooper
Subject "Creswell", known as "Otter View Farm" until recent times it became the property of Charles E. Heald.
Location: 9 miles east of Bedford, Virginia, on Route #460; thence south on a private road Vz mile to house.
Date: Residence finished in 1763.
Owners: Joshua Early bought the land in 1757 and left it by will to his son, Bishop John Early of Lynchburg, Virginia.
Description:
A two story log house covered with weatherboard, two chimneys, one at each end. Eight large rooms with twelve foot ceilings, 18 windows and rather elaborate wooden cornices. An open stairway with three flights of pine or chestnut, baluster rails and newel posts of turned mahogany. Hand carved balusters, the original still in use. Elaborate interior cornices in the parlor.
When the house was built there was a log weatherboarded kitchen and butlery a few paces to the rear of the house. This no longer stands. There was an ice house also, but nothing remains of it. The log weatherboarded smoke-house still stands about 10 yards to the right of the house. No sign of the old slave cabins remains today. In the original house the front bedrooms had no communication with the back bed rooms, each set having its own stairway. This plan no longer holds in the remodelled house.
Historical Significance:
There is no family cemetery on the place. Two graves, those of Joshua the builder and Maty Leftwich his wife, were made about 5 yards to the right of the house and today the garage covers their graves.
John Early, the immigrant, came to Virginia about 1661 and lived in York County. Thomas Early, son of John1, lived in Middlesex County, Virginia, Jeremiah Early, son of Thomas, was born in 1705, died 1787, married 1728 Elizabeth Buford, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Buford, and had sons, John, Jeremiah Jr., Jacob, Joel, Joseph, and Joshua - the last born June 13, 1738, died 1812. They all took up land in the eastern part of the county, raising tobacco and blooded stock. During the War of the Revolution much beef was furnished to the army from their plantations.
The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 4 Page 183
Jeremiah Jr. served as an officer in the Revolution and was a member of the County Court In 1772 he was High Sheriff under George the 3rd, holding office from 1754 to 1779. It is from his branch of the family that General Jubal Early comes. General Early graduated from West Point in 1837 and the next year served as Lieutenant in the Indian Wars in Florida. Shortly after this he resigned his commission and became a lawyer, practicing in both Bedford and Franklin counties. In 1847 he was commissioned a Major of volunteers to serve in the Mexican War. At the beginning of the War Between the States he was appointed by order of the Confederate Congress to the office of ColoneL At Gettysburg he commanded a division of Lee's Army. Following this he was assigned to the Valley of Virginia for the purpose of harassing Washington and keeping Sheridan busy. In 1864 he invaded Maryland, defeating General Lew Wallace at Monocacy Junction. Another raid was in Pennsylvania in 1864, when Chambersburg was destroyed. In September 1864, he was defeated by Sheridan at Winchester. Later in October he surprised Union forces at Eda Creek, but owing to the sudden arrival of Sheridan, who rallied his fleeing forces he was not victorious. In June of this year he had repulsed Hunter, who was almost within reach of his goal, the Confederate supplies of medicine and hospital goods for which Lynchburg was the center. General Early refused to take the oath of allegiance following the war. For many years after this he lived in Canada but returned finally to Lynchburg where he died in March, 1894. He never married. He is buried in Spring Hill Cemetery Lynchburg, Virginia. At the time of his death the flag over the State Capitol was at half mast and the Governor and Legislature rose in silent salute as the Chaplain offered prayer. Attending his funeral were delegations from the legislature, from the Army of Northern Virginia and from many Confederate camps. In the Lynchburg paper appeared a tribute by Major John Daniel, one of Early's officers, to Lynchburg's 'Highest ranking officer in the Civil War." "Amongst the chief mourners was that line of Gray, wrinkled men who followed his hearse, carrying a tattered flag which told its own story. I have never witnessed a more imposing scene then the outpouring of people as his body was borne to the grave with military ceremoniaL"
This is his triple distinction, that he was a man of peace before the War, a hero in the war, a hero in fidelity and fortitude after the war and the very incarnation of its glorious memories. In all histories of the United State which devote space to Wars, General Early is always more than mentioned. In Laughlin's History he characterized him as a "Confederate Cavalry leader of great boldness." Members of his family have said that so outstanding were his qualities of quickness and boldness that it seemed especially fitting for the Valley Campaign to be put in his hands.
Returning to Joshua Early, brother of Jeremiah Jr. he married Mary Leftwich, daughter of Augustine Leftwich who was prominent in the early New London days, and built "CreswelL" Records show that he had lands adjacent to New London and Vi a lot in New London, but that he disposed
Page 184 The Southside Virginian, Vol. XI No. 4
of these and bought up adjacent parcels of land near Forest until he had around 1000 acres. It was on this acreage that he built "CreswelL" Whenever Jefferson came to "Poplar Forest" Joshua always called upon him in state and Jefferson was more than once entertained at "CreswelL" Joshua acquired adjoining tracts adjacent to the original acreage on which his sons settled when they were married, so that there was an "Early Colony," as they said. His chief crop was tobacco and he raised blooded horses and cattle. He also had a large peach orchard and a 50 gallon stilL He died December 18, 1812, though his funeral service was postponed until the roads became passable, and in the following June the rites were conducted by his nephew, Rev. Abner Early. The family were devoted Methodists, rearing three ministers, one of whom, John Early, born at "Otter View" became a bishop of the Methodist Church.
