As a child I constantly asked my Grandparents where we came from. The answer from both Grandmothers was "I don't know Honey, we've just always been here..."

100% of my lineage is in Bedford County Virginia around Rev War timeframe. Lots of Endogamy in the chart! AND, lots of research in the effort. I especially love doing VA courthouse research, love the tiny scraps of paper we can handle and the original documents. Signatures of my ancestors I collect, it draws them closer.

As a child our family attended our Mitchell and Martin reunions every year. I love the cemetery at Staunton Baptist Church in Huddleston, VA. I would talk with the WWI vets who had shaking hands, "shell shock" Mom said. My brother and I would go look at the really old stones in the cemetery, glad we did because many are no longer readable. There were 2 out houses and we met in the tiny original chapel which we use to this day for our Martin reunion. Our ancestors Jordan and Keziah Musgrove Martin supplied the land for the church years ago. Their photo hangs in the fellowship hall beside a copy of the original deed which states that if that property is ever not a Baptist church, the property reverts to heirs. We love that church!

perhaps a free space for all these tax lists could be useful. maybe connect the profiles of the people in them?
posted by Raymond Nichols DD
Hi Sherri,

After reviewing the 2 Profiles it appears that there are discrepancies with birth & death dates & locations. The children also don't match & as do the last names of spouses—however, all the other info matches. Additionally, as noted by Darlene (Scott) Kerr, his mother would only have been 10 YO; couldn't be. Therefore have initiated the merge. Hal

We just started a new project on WikiTree: the Appalachia Project and we would love to have you join us. Since you are already working on profiles in Appalachia it wouldn't add to your WT work. Just a sticker and a category, here and there. To join, review the Project page, pick a regional team (or teams) and answer the G2G Membership post.

Join Today!
