1. Cpt. James Elliott at Kings Mtn. [1]
Dear Kinsmen and friends, Is there anyone out there who has any information about Captain James Elliott who served in the Virginia Militia under Campbell at the Battle of King's Mountain. He was killed shortly afterwards in an Ex- pedition against the Cherokee. Any Information is appreciated. Many thanks, John W.

2. Early Elliott Settlers in SW Va. [1]
Dear Kinsmen and friends, Is there anyone out there with knowledge of early settlers, in the Abingdon/Damascus/Taylor Valley areas of SW VA. or the Adjoining Wau- taga settlements of Upper East Tennesee,by the surname of Elliott.Fam- ily tradition has three Elliott brothers immigrating from either the Scottish Borders or Northern Ireland and then settling on the frontier in SW VA. around 1723. It is believed they were participants in the French and Indian Wars and it is documented that Cpt. James Elli
3. Re: Bristol Cemetery History/ Susong Cemetery [1]
It's always pleasing to see a familiar family name pop up on the list. "Susong" was a maternal ancestor and I was delighted to see the information concerning the Susong Cemetery. Do you know where the name Susong derived? Although it takes on the oriental sound, I believe it might be Scottish! New Subject: Here's a bit of information concerning a family reunion just held in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. The Wm. Floyd Rowlett Family annual reunion was held at the Ramada Inn on August 12th.

Just a thought: Up until 1920 when the 19th amendment was radified, women could not even vote. The rights stated in the Constitution DID NOT and WAS NOT MEANT to apply to ALL. That's all I will say on this subject.

6. RE: Virus [1]
The Norton Virus Protection is protecting against 47,638 viruses. There are an average of 15 to 30 new viruses each week added to the definition list. The KAK/WORM virus is the least of your worry. The Trojans are even more sneaky. Some once installed on your computer will allow a malicious operator take over your computer and do a lot of strange things. They can send e-mail to every one on your address book from your address. This is one way they can "spread" the virus. Go to http://www.datafellows.

9. Re: Appalachia Cemetery [1]
The USGS lists 213 cemeteries in Wise Co., but none called the Appalachia Cemetery. Below are the names of cemeteries listed that are in Appalachia. Sometimes what the USGS calls a place and the folks that live in the area call the same place aren't anything alike! Andover Cemetery Kilbourn Cemetery Oak View Cemetery Maybe somebody has been to these cemeteries and knows if any of them, or all of them ;) are on a hill?

10. Re: Adams [1]
Adams is more likely a Scots/Scots-Irish name. But that may be several generations back. The name Adams does not appear on the 1857 Wise County, Virginia Land Tax List. [http://www.ls.net/~newriver/va/wise1857.htm] This may mean that they did not own taxable property or that they had not moved into the County yet. Are there any unique first names that might give a clue? Unfortunately, John Adams and, to a lesser extent, Mary Garner, are fairly common names. Phil

12. Ghost towns [1]
All, I did not mention but most of those towns are becoming ghost towns. The houses and buildings are rotting and caving in. There are some new homes in some areas. I would guess the population generally was declining. Coal mining takes a lot less miners. Oceana was the most prosperious I saw. Welch and Bradshaw looked very poor. What was strange was that I saw no family cemeteries. There is one large cemetery in Oceana, I think. -eddie

14. Fort Blakemore [1]
Hi. Im not sure what county the Fort is in, but my ancestors built the Fort Blakemore in VA. I have a little bit of its history, but has anyone been there? Is there anything left of it? A slave named Swann, later Hamilton, saved several children there. I would really appreciate any info. We live here in Western Washington, and my hubby is paralized and has spinal cancer, so I have no way of visiting these places. Another place Id love to hear about is Harlan,KY. and the Martins Creek area. My Hall anc

Have you all heard that the Native Americans are now trying to RECLAIM what they say is their land in Illinois? What they really want is land and a permit to build a casino. Never an end to this who owns what.
16. Carr/Kerr/Oglesby [1]
Resending as plain-text Interested in any information of these families in early Washington County (pre 1790). These families moved from Craven Co. to Washington Co. before moving through KY and settling in the Sumner Co., TN area. Their property was on the Holstein (sp?) around Moccasin Creek, I have transcribed a land grant signed by Gov. Patrick Henry and have found a number of references to the family. Names would include James King Kerr/Carr, King Kerr/Carr and Elisha Oglesby. I would also like t

Volks, As the owner/sysop of the List it is my duty to regulate what is relevent/acceptable subjects. Traffic has been light and during those times I'm more tolerant. Some of the Melungeon, and Nancy's specifically, have been border line. If I allow it some would complain. If I cut it off others, or the same people, would be cross about it. I know that I am loved for the way I regulate the List so I try to be Solomon savey. I find Nancy's argument very interesting which is not to say I agre

19. Re: Looms [1]
In 1784 almost every established home had a spinning wheel and loom.. Looms were quite cumbersome and hard to move and were probably left behind when moving great distances.. Every settlement had men who could build looms but spinning wheels were more difficult to make.. of course, anyone who could make a wagon wheel could have built a spinning wheel too.. Carpenters tools and crosscut saws were valuable in those days.. especially on the frontier.. An early Harrell man and his partner, a Mills, bought a wh
20. Bristol Cemetery History/ Susong Cemetery [1]
In Bud Phillips book, Bristol,Va./Tn. he tells the history of Susong Cemetery. Mr. Phillips writes that this cemetery was began on Christmas Day in 1818 with the burial of Margaret Baggs Susong, the 47 year old wife of Jacob Susong. Mr. Phillips says that the Bristol old timers tell of a strange day that she was buried. The sun would shine, then snow showers, then thunder and lightning! This was a bit unsettling to the more superstitious people. The Susong family arrived in the area in 1794, on the da
