1. Re: [VATGS] Follow-up: Bolthrope & Rich Neck [1]
Bryan, I too have connections to Rich Neck and the CARY family. The "Calendar of State Papers" gives the following item for the year 1808: By the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. A Proclamation- February 25th. Authorizing the acceptance of the tender made by Wade MOUNTFORT of his house at Rich-Neck in the county of Warwick, for the purpose of holding the Courts and transacting the business of the said County, during the times required for the enlargement and repair of the Cou

When is the November meeting scheduled? I have repeatedly offered to help with the Library, but never received a follow-up call. If help is still needed there, the offer still stands. Beth Maxwell
3. [VATGS] Bolthrope & Rich Neck [1]
I've been collecting some information about Bolthrope (Boltrup, Bolthrop) and Rich Neck (Old Forest). Two Patents/Plantations in early Warwick County, VA. Can anyone direct me to a deeper history of these places, including families who lived and died there? My lineage is heavily connected to the CURTIS, CARY and HARWOOD families. Thanks! Bryan L. Curtis Greensboro, NC
4. Re: [VATGS] Harwood & Curtis [1]
I'm not sure who Myles Johnson is looking for in the Curtis Family, but I'm a descendant of the George & Racheal Howell Drummond family and know that Sallie Anne Drummond, (b. 1859) daughter of Smith Darby and Sallie Anne Hopkins Drummond md. (c. 1880) Henry Curtis and believe the Woodfin Curtis mentioned was their son. Also, Smith & Sallie Anne's daughter, Loula (b.1859) md. c.1900 George A.

6. Re: [VATGS] By-Laws [1]
Rod, Thank your for your complete message. You are right, it just never crossed our minds or came up in discussion. If I may, I would suggest that we hold off until the attorney's are done. No reason to reinvent the wheel and do twice when you know changes are immanent. I know you are up to your ears traveling for work and other responsibilities. A few more weeks shouldn't matter. Good to hear from you. Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wed

I would love to live closer and help! I realize how important it is for those members (local members of course!) to get involved and rotate and take turns serving. We do this in the OGS that I belong too.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~vamip/vamip/cemetery_controvery.htm I have most of the cemetery info that I have no up. I have not yet address the controversy which is interesting. In 1932 Miss A.E. Shaw from California wrote a letter asking about the cemeteries and what happened to them. An investigation ensued, with cover-ups, lies and letters from Washington, Ft. Monroe, Corps of Army Engineers. I do have the government correspondence here and will attack it this afternoon. K ----- Original Message -----
9. Re: [VATGS] Election of Officers [1]
Rod, Thank you so much for this thorough explanation of the status of the TGS Library. I'll look forward to serving in any way that I can. Your message gives a number of ways in which others might be of help, I notice, so perhaps you will have a few volunteers come forth as a result. Sure hope so. 'Tis true - many hands make light work.

There may be some folks who would see themselves doing a particular job, but might be intimidated by the job title. Worth a try. Beth Maxwell
12. Re: [VATGS] Election of Officers [1]
To all members: It is my understanding that according to the bylaws, Rod cannot serve again even though he may wish to. Since I have been associated with the society, it seems that Rod and Emily have pulled 10x their weight. It is now time for others to step forward and bear some of the load. Rod addressed this in the last quarterly. I have volunteered my services for 2 years to develop and maintain the website. Rod works out of town, yet finds the time and energy to hold the office of President, co
13. Re: [VATGS] By-Laws [1]
The By-laws and Constitution are not yet, available online. I'm not sure why we didn't think to upload them when we built the website a few years ago, it was just an oversight. If my memory serves me correctly, I think they were/are published in the 20 year History of the TGS. If so that publication doesn't reflect changes made since it was published in 1989 or 1990. (I think the "By-laws" have been amended twice since then) In the 10 years I've been on the executive board, the only people needin
14. [VATGS] Window banner for those serving [1]
During WWII, their was a wonderful custom of putting a hanging in your front window with a star representing each member of the household serving in the war. I would like to start this tradition again for my son's best friend's father, along with other neighbors who have been activated or shipped out. I need the design and or pattern. I am hoping that someone has a picture or can remember these. Once I can get samples made up, I plan to go to the JRROTC at the local high school and home economics depart
15. [VATGS] Pressey's [1]
What is the place called "Pressey's" in York or old Warwick County? Is there any information or documentation about it? It was formerly the home of Rev. Thomas CURTIS (1774-1840) and his first wife, Ann (?) (early 1800's). It was then passed to his three oldest children, and in the mid-1930's it was the home of a Woodfin (?) CURTIS. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Bryan L. Curtis Greensboro, NC
16. Re: [VATGS] Cemetery on Mulberry Island (Ft. Eustis) [1]
Thanks, Karen for the Mulberry messages. I have a great deal on Curtis who was on Mulberry and went to Eastern Shore as so many others did.

17. [VATGS] Harwood & Curtis [1]
In the 1920's-30's there were Bibles and other family records about the HARWOOD and CURTIS families held by Edmund Williams HARWOOD, Mrs. B.L. POINDEXTER and Mr. James Madison CURTIS of the former Warwick County (now Newport News, of course). (J.M. Curtis and wife, Mollie H. McKenney, had a daughter, Roberta P. Curtis, born March 14, 1873.) Does anyone know who these people were, and/or who their descendents are? Does anyone know where the originals of these records are today? Thanks in advance for any

Hi Bryan, Good query. I will be waiting with bated breath to see if you get any nibbles. If you do, it would make a good story for the Wynne Newsletter. Keep in touch.

19. Re: [VATGS] Census, Warwick County [1]
Hi Bryan, A Col & Mrs. Vollertson published a compilation of transcriptions of all the Warwick Co. censuses -- Who Was Who, Warwick Co. Va., 1782-1880. I think it has been reprinted. I will send you the pp. for 1784; it is the Tithes & Taxables for that year, almost better than a census.

Karen, I just spoke with Mr. Bill O'Neill, the Registrar for the Virginia War Museum here in Newport News. He immediately knew what I was asking about, and suggested that anyone interested in an answer to this question, go to the Virginia War Museum website: www.warmuseum.org and send a message to the attention of Bill O'Neill, Registrar He says he'll be happy to respond to your specific questions. Hope this helps. Beth Maxwell

I do not believe I have read them but was informed. They really should be up on the website, now that you bring it to my attention. I will mention it to Rod next time I see him.

22. Re: Re: [VATGS] [1]
Middlesex County VA has excellent records and is not a burned county like those adjacent. Look up The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the phone book. Find the Family History Center and see the catalog for microfilms you can order from Middlesex and read right there in the Center. Also, the Surname File has many Garrett in it; check all the cards for your names. . Also see the films of records of Genealogical Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts of College of William and Mary. Go to Loca
23. [VATGS] Census, Warwick County [1]
Does anyone have the complete list of the listing of HEADS OF FAMILIES completed in 1784 WARWICK COUNTY, Stanley Precinct (Mulberry Island, etc.)? I understand that Edmund CURTIS (6/5/1754-ca. 1820), husband of Ann CARY (ca. 1769-ca. 1814) is listed with 4 persons, one house, and five other holdings, but I wonder who else might be living there at that time. Is this census published anywhere on the internet? What about other Warwick County censuses. (I have the 1850 census for Warwick County). [Edmund

25. Re: [VATGS] Election of Officers [1]
TGS members: We are in dire need of people to fill the officers' slots. As Karen said, Rod has served his term. Jim Sample and I have both served longer than we were supposed to according to the bylaws. The board passed a special resolution for this in our cases. Someone has shown interest in the Treasurer's position, but I don't know of anyone so far willing to replace Rod as President, or to be one of our Vice-Presidents or to replace me as Recording Secretary. In addition there are several ot
