Siposs?/Albemarle County http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/VA-CENSUS-LOOKUP/2008-07/1216939621 Michael, I couldn't find J.W. in the ancestry.index under the name Siposs or Sellers, but I got a clear image and J.W. is living alone. The name looks like it is written with the letter "f" in front of the double consonants as was common in that time frame, but I can't say for certain that the name is Sellers. It looks like the following: J.W. Sifsofs, 27, Jeweller, value of real estate: $1000, value of personal estate: $10,000, born VA Do you know what the occupation of your J.W. SELLERS was?

Now I'm trying to track down Nic(e)y Ann BUMBR(E)Y in 1870. She is listed with her husband and kids as being at Madison County, VA, in 1880. Daniel BUMBRY - aged 44 Nicy Ann BUMBRY - aged 30 Lewis BUMBRY - aged 13 Rosa BUMBRY - aged 11 Anna BUMBRY - aged 9 All are listed as born in Virginia, though I'm not so certain. I think sometimes a lazy enumerator would just love to make ditto marks. Here's a bit of the history of the BUMBRY name. Apparently it was English, and was BUNBURY. An individual named Thomas came to this country. A male descendant fathered mulatto children by one of his slaves. The name came to have a different spelling. I've seen a number of mistranscriptions, but misentries - not so many: BUMBRY, BUMBREY, BUMBERY, BOMBREY. One of the mistranscriptions I've seen is BOMBAY. I believe I know where Anna was later in life, and that she was probably also named Nicy Ann, but I particularly seek the mother. Thanks for any help! Vince Summers "Vincent E.

Good find. I don't doubt you've got it. And the 11 year old would be Parker. He was born in 1849, I believe. So he was the slave of Lewis, right? Lewis was the father of Mark Franklin FINKS, born 1838. Now I doubt very much that Mark ever owned Parker. He could have in 1860, but I doubt it - just the overseer, methinks.
