I am looking for information about John Samuel RUSSELL, married to Mary SCHRIEVES. Their dates of birth are unknown to me, but their son, Samuel Tilton RUSSELL, was born 25 Jan 1879 in Parksley, Accomack, VA. Samuel Tilton RUSSELL is my Great Grandfather through his oldest child, Bertie Elinor RUSSELL Ward, my grandmother.I am wondering if Mary RUSSELL, daughter of John T. RUSSELL of Hunting Creek, married 16 March 1892 to William A. BARNES, son of John BARNES of Hunting Creek, could be part of the RUSSELL family I am searching. A 1952 news article I came across in my grandmother's, Bertie E. RUSSELL WARD, things. It listed many of Mary RUSSELL and William A. BARNES' children living at that time, 1952, in Parskley, VA. The article also mentioned a Lillie RUSSELL married to Tony MIDDLETON, as having shared a double wedding ceremony with Mary and William. If there are any answers out there, please contact me. Sincerely, Boyd J. Christiansen. I reside in the Salt Lake City, UT, area.

KELLAM/KELLUM

I am looking for the parents of Riley Kellum, my 3rd great-grandfather.

Riley Kellum was born circa 1795 in NC, and served in a NC Regiment during the War of 1812. He married China Segraves on May 20, 1816, in Wake County, NC. His son Smith Kellum was born circa 1817 in NC. Riley was given land in Alabama for his service in the War of 1812, and he and his family moved to Bibb County, AL in the 1820s. Riley moved to Mississippi after 1840, where he lived until his death in the 1860s. Smith Kellum, now an adult, remained in Alabama. After Riley's death, China retuned to Alabama, where she lived until her death.

Given that Riley Kellum named his son Smith Kellum, I believe that he is connected to one of the Smith Kellums living in Accomack or Northampton County, VA during the 18th century. I believe that there is a strong possibility that Riley is related to Smith Kellum [b. circa 1739, VA], son of Moses Kellum [b. circa 1718, VA; d. 1773, Northampton County, VA]. Whitelaw's history of Virginia's Eastern Shore indicates that Smith Kellum inherited from his father Moses Kellum in 1773. According to Whitelaw, Smith and his wife Mary later moved to North Carolina. During the 1790s, a Smith Kellum was mentioned in several deeds in NC.

Moses Kellum's will was probated in Northampton County, VA on December 14, 1773. Moses is identified as a planter of Hungars Parish. He left half his land to his son Smith Kellum, and the other half to his daughter Luraner (?). If his son and daughter died without issue, Moses left his remaining estate to his brother Benjamin Kellum and his brother Solomon Kellum's children.

I am interested in corresponding with others who are researching the Kellum family, and in exchanging information. I look forward to hearing from you.

My Mom's name is Jeanne Linton. Apparently, she and M.K. Miles are cousins of some sort and know each other. Anyway, in the Bruton Parish church in colonial Williamsburg, there is a Thomas Lyttleton Savage buried with his wife. On his tombstone it says his father was named Thomas Lyttleton Savage and his mother was named Margaret Teackle. I was just wondering how she's related to the Teackles of Princess Anne (Teackle mansion). I'm very interested in my family history, and I have been since I was 13. It would be great if you could get back to me. Thanks!

I am looking for any information concerning the VOSS family in the Virginia. They had some relatives that moved into the Mississippi area most likely around the Jasper County area of Mississippi.

Looking for information on John Wilkes, Jr. from Shrewbury England. He is the son of John Wilkes & Barbara Heyward. John was transported to Northampton Co. & arrived Oct. 2, 1655 indentured to William Stevens. John's father was executed c. 1650 for his defense of Shrewsbury against Cromwell's forces. John's older brothers were Thomas (b. c. 1633), Joseph (b. c. 1635). John was born c. 1637. Thomas was transported to Charles City Co. to Ferdinand Austin & arrived Feb. 25, 1653. No information on Joseph's arrival (if he did arrive). Although I'm descended from John's brother, Thomas, I'm trying to compile a good history on the Wilkes line of my family. Would be more than happy to share information. Thanks.

I have an Edward WEBB, who is found in the 1810 and 1820 Northampton census. In 1807 he married nancy DOWNTAIN. They had four children. Two of them, my GGGrandfather Samuel WEBB and his brother Edward F are in Saline Co MO by 1831. They were orphaned around 1827 and are found in the Guardianship Accounts under the control of Vincent WEBB, who is also in the 1810 and 1820 census. I assume he is a brother of my Edward. Looking for information on above Edward or Vincent WEBB and Nancy DOWNTAIN. Nancy's wedding bond was sec. by William DOWNTAIN.

My gggrandfather was Severn Whitehead whose earliest record I have been able to find is a marriage bond, 12/23/1837 posted to marry Martha Ann Ranborn in Portsmouth Parish, Norfolk Co. State Library archivists indicates Severn was popular name on Eastern Shore. Earliest census record is 1850 and 1860 in Porstmouth, but 1870 shows Martha a widow. No mortality record for death, although Norfolk Co. records missing for 1860-1863. Severn probably born 1816-1820. Census says parents born in Virginia. Does anyone have records of Whiteheads in Northampton and Accomac Co.? I live in Scottsdale, Arizona, and records here are not plentiful. Thank you.

I am looking for someone who can advise me about Surrey Co and Southampton Counties VA, circa 1777. Guess this doesn't make me a Ghote, dang, and it's such a cute name. I don't know exactly where the counties would have been back them, or where they are in relation to Botetourt Co. (Which is where I can confidently say, my line starts for sure.) It's going back further that is starting to confuse me. Any clues or guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Mary

My great-aunt's maiden name was Eleanora Satchell, she had one brother whose name was Jessie Satchell and her mothers maiden name was Mary Russell. Who later married a Satchell, then a Brown upon his death and relocated to Portsmouth, VA. She told me that her grandmother worked as a cook in a jail located on the eastern shore.

I have a group photo taken somewhere on the Shore in, I would think, the end of the 1800's judging from the clothing worn. I believe it might be in front of a church. There's a small frame one-story building with about 20 adults standing and a couple dozen children seated, in front. In the foreground is a young man who appears to be a minister kneeling down. I have tried to get information on this group but no luck so far, so I am hoping maybe there are GHOTES that might recognize it from my description. Not much to go on but I am stilll hoping! Our relatives were from both Accomack and Northampton counties on the Shore - Bulls and Downings. Any suggestions? Many thanks mary

I am looking for information on the publishing company called John E. Potter & Company, #617 Sansom Street, Philidelphia, Pennsylvania.

This had apparently been in her family for many years before she passed it on to my father. I am trying to determine approx. when this bible was printed and it's value. Any info on the John E. Potter & Company publishers would be greatly appreciated. Such as the year of their inception and are they still publishers today or if not, when did they close down, etc. Anything at all would be most appreciated. I live in London, Ontario Canada.

I am just starting my research into my father's side of the family. I do have information on my grandmother's side with regard to family names of Fitchett, Polk, Dixon, Nottingham, Wilson and Bradford. I am trying to get more information on the Holland side-apparently my great grandparents were from the Eastern Shore of Maryland before settling in Nassawadox in late 1800's or so. Their names are Barton D. Holland and Martha Mills. I would appreciate any help on this any any further insight on my grandmother's side. Thanks!

I'm looking for my great-grandfather, Jackson Hall. He was from Hallwood, VA in Accomack,VA I know he was born Sept. 1872. I want to know who his parents were. I know he married a Larra(?) Carey(?) and they moved to Crisfield and had several children. Their daughter Vesta was my grandmother. I would appreciate any information. Thank You

My name is Arthur Smith (Eugene, Madison, Daniel, Ezekiel Francis, Ezekiel, Capt.Aaron Smith). Capt Aaron was married to Elizabeth Carraway. She was the daughter of John Carraway IV and Margaret Keeling of Princess Anne Co., Va. I am trying to find the parents of Capt. Aaron Smith. I have information that indicates that his parents may be Tully Robinson Smith and Francis Unknown of Accomack County. Tully Robinson Smith is the son of George Smith Jr. and grandson of Dr. George Smith and Elizabeth Robinson. His mother was West Robinson daughter of Col. Tully Robinson and Sarah West. Francis (the wife of Tully Robinson Smith) had a William Keeling and his wife as witness to her will and William Keeling as executor. This suggests that she may have been a Keeling. My problem is that the only children that I have found for Tully Robinson and Francis are Elizabeth Smith, Francis Smith, and Susannah Smith, no Aaron Smith. Do any of you old Ghotes have any information on the descendants of Tully Robinson Smith or on any Smith who could be the parent of Capt. Aaron Smith? One source claims that Capt Aaron Smith had a number of brothers and that all of them had biblical names. Looks like Tully Robinson Smith may have had all girls and no Aaron. If so forget the Tully Robinson Smith line. It has also been claimed that Capt. Aaron Smith is the son of a John Smith and a Francis Keeling. If this be so then could he be the John Smith who was a witness to the will of John Wise on September 20, 1741, (Nottingham wills and abstracts of Accomack County page 124)? I am interested in any Smith line that may be connected to the Carraway or Keeling families of Princess Anne County. Take up the challenge and try to find a John Smith or a Tully Smith who could be the parent of Capt. Aaron Smith born about 1720.

I have a Crockett geneology website at http://members.tripod.com/~clemmie/index.html Even though I have only found information back to my great grandfather, Earl Smythe Crockett b. 1985 Alexandria, VA, I am convinced he can be traced back to Tangier Island. I have met a few Tangier Crocketts and they are twins to people in my family. Since I cannot find anything linking my great-grandfather, I thought I's try working from Tangier to him. I have several questions based on this: 1. Was Joseph Crockett the first Crockett on Tangier? 2.) If his grandfather was named John TYLER where did the CROCKETT name come from and what was his father Sampsons surname? 3. Is there a genealogy of Joseph Crockett that I can view? 4. Does anyone know when the first Crocketts appeared in Virginia? 5. Where there Crocketts in any of the first settlements of Virginia?

PINN FAMILY- My ancestors were the Pinn's of Northumberland and Lancaster County Virginia. They were Native Americans and lived along Indian Creek in Lancaster County about 1733.

He belonged to Wicomico Parish Church in Northumberland which means he was Christian and they may also have records. The Pinn's now live all over Virginia and Maryland but most trace their ancestry to Northumberland County.

I would like to trade information with anyone researching the Pinn family of Northumberland and Lancaster County. Please contact me if you have any information regarding my ancestors.
