Comment by Tina Wells on July 14, 2009 at 1:02pm: Hoping someone out there know something about Mason/Manson Wills/Wells. He was in southern Chesterfield County, Virginia on the 1850 census. In 1852, he married Eleanor Whitmore. They had 1 or 2 children in Petersburg. By 1860, they had moved to Johnston County, North Carolina with 3 children. Eleanor died between 1880 -1900 and Manson died in 1900. His obituary and marriage record does not mention parents' names. Family lore says that his family came from Dinwiddie County, Virginia.

Comment by John Reeves on July 13, 2009 at 9:16pm: I am searching for information on the Smith, Harmon, Hartsock, and Hartman families of Smyth, Tazewell, and/or Russell counties (and Mercer County, WVA). How can I get any records from this area online?

Comment by Carol Dobkins Keith on July 12, 2009 at 1:36pm: I am descended from Mary Brickey, daughter of Jarret/Jared Brickey & Amy Compton, who were, at least for a brief time in Botetourt County, VA. Mary Brickey first married John McAdams, then my direct ancestor, Thomas Dobkins. I have a couple of missing links--mainly who was the father of Thomas Dobkins; and what was the death date for John McAdams. The Dobkins family were from Shenandoah/Augusta County, VA prior to their migration to Tennessee.
