I have sent this before but thought I would try again....


I am looking for birth or baptismal records for twins born January 3rd
1807 in Loudoun Co Virginia.
They were named James and Elizabeth after their parents James and
Elizabeth "Daugherty" Rightmire.
Both lived into there 70's and Elizabeth "Rightmire" Madden is buried in
Solano County California. She and her Husband John Madden were early
California pioneers. On her tombstone it says born in Loudoun Co Virginia.
I have known James Rightmire Jr died in Knox County Ohio buried Workman
Cemetery.. but just learned that his birthday was January 3rd 1807 and that
they were probably twins. I thought perhaps someone might recall seeing a
listing for twins since it may have been rare that both survived. I would
like to have some documentation of there birth or baptism. Not sure what
religion the parents were. Some of there children were United Brethren so
that is a possibility although that denomination would have been newly
formed around that time. James Rightmire Sr may have been of Palatine
and/or Holland Dutch descent. His wife Elizabeth Daugherty... Scotch
Irish....
This family has a connection to Hardin, Knox and Coshoctin Counties in
Ohio... Loudoun in Virginia...and The area of Monongalia County Virginia
that became West Virginia.......
Where they came from before showing up in Virginia in the late 1700's is
part of what I am searching for also....
Thanks for any help...Alice
