Can anyone on this list indicate the origins of Charles Oldham and his wife
Sarah of Lunenburg Co., VA ca 1774?
Apparently, Charles is somehow related to Leroy Oldham. (It seems to me
that a Leroy Oldham had links to some of the colonial Northern Neck counties of
Virginia. Correct me if I am wrong.) Are these Oldhams linked to those
Oldhams who later migrated to the area around Louisville, KY?

I have several sources showing Sarah J. IDEN marrying (1) Mager (or Major) Hamilton McARTOR, (2) Major McARTHUR, or (3) Hamilton McARTHUR. The problem seems to stem from Thomas Hickerson McArtor marrying his first cousin, thus we think he changed his name to McArthur. The family Bible shows the birth of Thomas' father as Major Hamilton McArtor. Thomas was born in Loudoun and Sarah in Fauquier according to Marriage Register No. 7, page 42. They also had two marriage dates--this one being 26 Sep 1865. I

For those subscribers who are fortunate enough to live in Virginia,
Washington, DC (DAR Library), or near a large genealogical library anywhere in the
US, one of the most valuable resources for a genealogist to use when searching
for a male living ca 1787 in Virginia is to examine the so-called 1787 Census
of Virginia.
Two dedicated women, Netti Shreiner-Yantis and Florine S. Love took the MANY
personal property tax lists for MOST (not all) counties in Virginia in 1787
and compiled these valua

I find Valentine Papers are useful for getting some excellent clues. Try to
follow up any clues with films of original records. You will be richly
rewarded.
Incidentally, many of the books published some years ago under the auspices
of the Virginia Deparment of Transportation pertaining to road orders of
various counties are now online.

Someone on the list VASouthside rootsweb list asked about banns of marriage.
This practice was common in England.
I have not seen any indication of such practice in colonial Virginia, but
perhaps I have not searched far and wide enough. Note that in England, it was
only in later years that this practice had to be recorded in the parish
registers.
However, my maternal grandmother was born in Kent in 1872, and I found some
of her Suffolk ancestors had a banns of marriage in the parish in which
Michael Neill's advice to read some documents backward follows closely the

a proofreader would catch an error--even after that proof had already been
