Genevieve Revell Partain, RN (earle5950@aol.com), Tue Aug 11 04:13:20 EDT 1998

Our family roots are VERY DEEP in the EASTERN SHORE. I remember some of the stories my parents use to tell of our ancestors; the EASTERN SHORE; the MANORS that were built and still stand today. Since visiting the EASTERN SHORE with my sisters and seeing the stately homes that our ancestors built along with the rich history that goes with the EASTERN SHORE, I now know where HOME truly is........this is a great website and has been most helpful and informative with our search for the missing link of our part of the REVELL genealogy. Keep up the great work.

Thanks to you I found another person doing research on the BARCO family from your comment archives. There are not many BARCOs in the United States and most are related. So it was a pleasure to find another who is also interested in genealogy. Thanks for the assistance. The BARCOs started as Barecock (Thomas) and then changed their name to Barco in the mid 1700's. They settled in Pasquotank Co early 1700s. Anyone with interest in these names please contact me. Thanks

William T. Smith (wmtsmith@pacbell.net), Fri Jul 24 15:30:32 EDT 1998

My ancestors date ack to the early 1700 their in Eastern Shore. My grandmothers family is tracable back to 1734. However I have spent better then three years now searching for the birth place of my great grandfather, his name was Spence William Smith. He died in 1906 and is buried there in Onancock. His birth is shown by the Mormon researchers as being in 1831, however they can't fine his place of birth. I would think that the death certificate would disclose his birth information. The Mormon researchs where denied information from the Bureau of Vital Statics in Richmond, for what reason I don't know. My search continues and if anyone reading this message has ideas on the subject, I would surely appreicated help, .....Thanks Bill, Anaheim Hills,CA

Ernest L. Thomas (thomlynx@aol.com), Sun Jul 19 01:07:44 EDT 1998

Site was very helpful in trying to identify the parents of George W. Thomas, my great-grandfather who I believe to be great-grandson of Joshua Thomas (Parson of the Island) and the son of John P. Thomas and Caroline Crockett. George was born 1859 and married Annetta (Nettie) Bennett on December 25, 1879. They lived in Somerset Co at Champ. George's middle name may be Washington or Wesley. He was raised by John West Tyler and Kate Tyler (a granddaughter of Joshua Thomas I think).

Marion Donaldson (mardon@door.net), Fri Jul 17 22:32:19 EDT 1998

My first interest in Va has been ancestors of Norfolk Co(as far as I know for sure)) so wondering if this is a place for my search. One Savell family in NoCoVa early -mid 1700s who migrated Ky 1812-14. Am just beginning to explore your sight and decide if other families that I search are from that exact area. Marion Donaldson

I'm new to this, but like what I see here. I'm descendant of James Taylor d. ca 1769 & maybe several James Taylors before him. Also from Boggs, Burton, Gaskins, Broadwaters, etc. Currently seeking parents/siblings of Meshack Gaskins (12 Sep 1894 - 13 Apr 1852) m. ca 31 Jan 1831, Elizabeth (Lucas) Bowen, wid. Was he son of William? Keep up the good work!

Thomas R. Turlington (tturlingto@aol.com), Fri May 15 09:01:17 EDT 1998

Hi, Just found GHOTES and I'm hopeful that by connecting with contributors I can add to the generations that I've already accumulated through family bibles, and trips to Accomac Co. courthouse. My father James Thomas Turlington was born near Melfa, and moved to Baltimore during the depression years. His father Arthur rented a house and farmed property owned by a Dr. Mapp. I have photos of the strawberry farm they worked back in the 1920's in front of the house. The house is still standing. My great grandfather William Thomas owned property west of the present Eugene Turlington's farm. That property is the location of graves of my great grandparents and of Nathaniel son of John and Nancy Turlington my great great grandparents. Courthouse records show Asa Turlington was the father of John giving me a path to my great great great parents. I haven't been able to find records relating Asa to his parents.

Marriages down through the generations connect me to the Bayley, East, Beloate, Sturgis, Mears, and Johnson family names with some of the Turlington daughters marrying into the Killmon.

Here's hoping some GHOTES geaneologist can help me with my quest. Tom Turlington

(stefie@erols.com), Wed May 13 15:07:54 EDT 1998

Very thrilled to have found GHOTES and am eager for time to explore the web pages. My maternal grandmother was a Bloxom and I can supply data of the decendants of Edward C Bloxom (18 Nov 1818-21 Nov 1844), whom I believe was the son of Major S Bloxom. Am relatively new to this on-line communication - this is fun stuff! Stef

Hi,

My maternal grandmother was born in Eastville, but my mother, who is now 82 years old, has never visited Eastville. Her mother's day gift is a trip to Eastville. She hopes to find an elderly cousin who lives in Eastville. Do you have any information on the African-American families of Eastville? My great-grandmother was named Missouri Wilkerson. Her husband was named Major Wilson. Two of my great aunts lived in Eastville until their deaths a few years ago.

At any rate, even if you don't have information on them, your web site is wonderful. It's an education for me also as I knew next to nothing about the Viriginia Eastern Shore. Keep up the good work!

I am so happy to have found your site. I am a descendant of the Custis family of the Eastern Shore. The trouble is I have been unable to find my direct connection. My great-grandfather John R. Custis was born in Accomack Co. ca 1790, I know this from his War of 1812 papers. I cannot find his parents ??? Can anyone help. After that war he moved to Lawrence Co. AL, where he married and had 4 children. In the process of my research I have collected much data on the Custis' and especially on William Stran Custis who married Virginia Potter. He moved to Louisiana and served in the Civil War from that state. Would love to connect with anyone working on this line ?? Thanks again for the GREAT WEB SITE !!

I very much appreciated finding the Ghotes Pages. I have a couple of specific and fairly urgent needs and would appreciate any help that I can get. In 1955 in Northampton County, Virginia there was an unrecorded birth that I need to document. The child was born to migrant worker parents and the baby was delivered by a midwife MOLLIE KATES, now alleged to be deceased. I'm interested in leads to 1) relatives of Mollie Kates, 2) anyone who is familiar with the midwifing process at that time including hopefully the forms of alternative record keeping systems that may have been used by midwives, and 3) anyone with information concerning migrant workers in Northampton County including crops, worker destinations prior to and after Northhampton, farm and other employers, and particularly any sources who might have been operating migrant camps or farms circa 1955. I'm sorry I have no contributions to make to Ghote at the moment. I represent an American citizen who is facing deportation unless he can prove his birth on the Eastern Shore. Your help and attention are most welcome.

It is Sunday afternoon and I just took some time to aurf around and typed in my family name of Revell. I do not think, from what I saw here that I am related to any Revells of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. My grandfather was from Lead, South Dakota, and I think born in Iowa or Nebraska. I have never done, nor had the time to do any geneology research...but have, like most everyone, always wondered about my roots. Since my work is about ancient history--Roman, in particular, I do have an interest in stories about where people come from. Thank you for the work I know it took to compile the Revell list...I did find it quite interesting. Peace.

Looking for connection between Richard Warrington and prior generations. Richard Warrington is in 1850 Census of Worcester Co. Maryland as 84 years of age. Born in Maryland circa 1766. A very knowledgeable member of Ghoats suggests the Richard Warrington ancesters I search for are not of the early Warrington Eastern Shore arrivals but appears to be the son of a minister named Alexander Warrington who arrived in Maryland in 1740/1750. Does anyone have additional clues I can follow?

I know nothing about my dad's side of the family. I now live in texas so it is hard for me to search for information as there isn't many books around here to search for your family. I still have family that live in Virginia but having to go live with another family at age five there isn't as much of a relationship with them as i would like, also they don,t seem to be as interested in the family name as i am.

Hi, just visited your sight,and I must say that I really enjoyed my visit. There is definately loads of information. I am researching GRAHAM. Most of them I think were probably from the IL area, but it is really unknown to me at this time. The earliest one that I have gotten, (from family resourses) is a Burrill Graham, Sr. Born late 1760's or early 1770's. Died between 1840 and 1850. His wife Rebecca (unknown maiden name), was born around 1779. There are 5 known boys, and 3 girls. The boys are Reuben, Nelson, Burrill (Jr) John, and Lewis. The girls names are unknown. This is all the information on him that I was given, so ... I hope someone can help me. I have just started my research, so...(well I'm sure you remember when you all just started)... it is a little overwhelming, but just like potatoe chips, you just can't settle for just one....Nice meeting you,and hope to hear from someone soon. Other surnames: PARTELOW, MAYS, NEAL, BOSWELL, LEONARD, COX, WALLS, WRIGHT...that is just a start for me for now. Thanks Again...Debbie (ppdr5@netnitco.net)

Anyone with any info. please e-mail. For Miles ancestors, there is a small family cemetary in our Virginia front yard with Miles on the headstones. Located in Sanford.

This is a fatastic site - great job on graphics as well as data! I did have a problem accessing Red Bank Baptist Church records. Message came back that it was not on this server. Glitches do happen. Hope to get it one of these days,. Thanks for all the hard work.

I think your site is wonderful and you have made an interesting topic of a unique name.

Is there anyone in MD, DE and surrounding area that has done any research on the MITCHELL family - any of them??? Please e-mail me. Thanks.

A friend told me he had found people looking for CROSHAWs so I came browsing and found your site. Very interesting. I'll be back. I'm one of the Canadian Croshaws and have traced my roots back to England. There are some Croshaws in Indianapolis who emigrated from England in 1962 for those who are interested. Bye now.
