3. VA population in the 17th Century [1]
Thanks to Ms. Susan who caught my lapse of memory, please consider these number as estimates of VA population in the period 1665-1670: The number I selected - 300,000 - was from the years of the French and Indian War. As to that earlier period, Bruce, in his "Economic History of VA in the 17th Century", suggests 40,000 in VA and MD in 1664. Berkeley in 1666 set the number in VA also as 40,000. Bruce suggests the additional number of slaves at that period - c1660 - was in excess of 2000. Though I foun
4. RE: [VAROOTS] VA population in the 17th Century [1]
I'm trying to find out more about the parents of my great great grandfather Henry Clay of Madison County, Virginia. Henry was born around 1828 in Madison County. Thankfully, I have been able to document all of his descendants. However, I'm stuck in trying to find out more about Henry's parents. He is listed as a mulatto. Does that mean that he is part black/white or white/indian? I don't know...my assumption was white/black but I might be wrong. I may not be able to find the name of his father, but there s
5. cemetery [1]
I have finally located an old cemetery and have gotten permission, from the owner, to walk through it. The cemetery is very old and the owner tells me that she remembers her grandmother telling her that people came in the 1930's to look at it. Since then no one has been in there to look or clean. My question to the group: what dangers await me in an old cemetery. What should I look out for (snakes etc.). How best can I protect myself. I have been told to take baking flour -- that will help bring

Wear insect repellant! Bring bug spray! Learn to recognize poison ivy and poison sumac! (That was the voice of experience talking there! Not knowing can open up a whole new world of discomfort!!!) Some hand-held grass clippers can be valuable for trimming away grass. Or a hand-held nipper to remove small branches from bushes that might have overgrown. Gloves are a must. Don't go alone - have a partner. Take a small spade or entrenching tool. Some grave markers may have fallen over and you'd like

Pat, Thank you for sharing this wealth of information. Thanks to Gynger Cook from the Clay Family Society, I have most of the information that you shared regarding Patience Clay Chapman. I will be a presenter at the Clay Family Society in Chester. Hopefully, we will have a chance to meet. Next week, I am hosting a gathering of the descendants of my Henry Clay! Henry is the common ancestor of all of those who will be attending the gathering. Madison County was truly a unique county in that there was a sign

I have heard many arguments against shaving cream but I have used it, too. Just be sure to rinse it off. You can also take tissue paper and chalk for a rubbing. The cell phone is a GREAT idea, just in case!

14. RE: [VAROOTS] VA population in the 17th Century [1]
Paul, I believe that you are right that a generalization will not work for me. I know that my ancestry is African, European and Native American...I accept and embrace all of who I am. In my own family...our complexions are very different. My younger brother and I look Ethiopian and my older siblings could pass for white. In my family (mother's side), there were a few men who left home and indeed did pass for white. I'm not really concerned with our physical characteristics. I'm more interested in learni

16. Re: [VAROOTS] VA population in the 17th Century [1]
Leontyne, I really don't think that approach would work. To get that info I suggest you visit your closest Family History Center which will be located in a city or town near you. Check out the phone book at such town. However, Genealogy.com does have a 4 Generation Report on his family under the heading Celebrity Trees. If that still doesn't work for you go to www.FamilySearch.com and access the Site Map, which is an index of all topics on their site. Good hunting.
17. Cemetery Dos and Donts - Rubbings Photos or Shaving [1]
I did a google search on the subject and this mailiing is going to all concerned. I have belonged to several cemetery lists and there has been much learned about the proper way to handle OLD GRAVESTONES. I have been in some that are well cared for and others that are sticks and stones and brambles. One needs to take care on personal concerns in this type of project. As to snakes, they are ground sensitive and feel the vibration of a walking person and will usually slither off. Still one needs to
18. Re: [VAROOTS] cemetery [1]
Phebe, if you are only trying to read tombstones that is one issue, but if you are trying to clear it off that is another, and and based upon what you said, I suspect there will be several rather large trees or bushes that need to be disposed of. My suggestion is take someone with you who can handle a chainsaw because I have found them to be nearly indispensable in old growth cemeteries. If the owner will allow you to clear it off, I would recommend doing that. John Parrott--- Original Message ---

Hi, Bev. Two reasons: 1) many folks, even down to the days of my childhood believed in phrenology. That was the title assigned to the pseudo-science that taught that by examining the shape of and the bumps on a persons head, their personality, especially their tendency to be criminals, could be presumed and predicted. When I was 8 or 10, my mother occasionally went to an osteopath for "adjustment"; he was 80 years+ and also practiced phrenology. While you and I might believe the matter to be nonsense, many

I use shaving cream; By spraying it on a stone, then rub down over it once with one of those little squeegees you gals use for windows. Enough of the cream remains to often make even the most obscure engravings readable. Then, as Linda stated, rinse off the cream with your extra water.

25. Something called Death Mask [1]
Very common early; the pennies having done their jobs, and after the mouth was sewed shut, the face of a dead person (almost always a man) was covered with a bit of usually lard or other thick oil in order that the plaster of paris, when applied, would not stick to the skin. Then plaster of paris was applied over the entire face back to the ears and including down to and including the chin. When it had dried, it could be lifted off and there was a reverse and quite precise mold of the face. The inside
