Soon.
Believe it or not, I’m also working on this as well as all the others I’m posting – they’re often in the same areas at about the same time-frame.
Bill
Bill,
Like I said and always will, you are totally awsome for helping us all out like this. It really is a way cool thing on your part. It has to be so completely time consuming. You’re the best. If things ever slow down for me again here, I’m still hoping to get to the museum in Denver and see what I can find on us. You have me so excited! Thank you again. Love & Light, Lynella.:p
Hey, Mr. Awsome,
What ever happened with those names that looked like we might have had some relatives in common? If we’re even remotely related I have to be able to mail you your Christmas card ya’ know. And of course, I want a photo of you & your loved ones!! Love & Light, Lynella.:cool:
My apologies. Still trying to sort thru those in the area. Just across The River in Ohio Co., Ky, are related Sheltons, Gentrys and Reeds that she may belong to and I’m still looking for the “absolute” proof of her parents. Patience, my dear, patience 🙂
Bill
Bill,
Thank you. Please don’t think I’m pressuring you. I’m looking at this like, I’m 43 and I’ve lived this long without the info. So, Don’t rush, take your time. I was just curious to see about “our link”. So, LOVE & LIGHT, Lynella.;)
Naw, I didn’t think that. Maybe I didn’t put enough smiley-faces in there 🙂
However, after I made that statement, you have every right to look for an answer sooner than this. Yes, I’ve procrastinated.
The problem with offering definitive proof, in this case, is related to descendants of multiple lines of these surnames being in the same areas at the same time and maybe I’ve exercised more caution that the situation may have warranted – or not.
There is NO doubt that your REEDEs, SHELTONs & GENTRYs were related before they came to Indiana from NC and Southern Va.
There is little doubt that these same lines are related to my REEDs (cousins by marriage), SHELTONs (2 direct lines) or my GENTRYs (related by marriage thru WILBURN/WINBURN) and COLLINS (direct, both sides) & GIBSONs (a.k.a. WILBURNs).
Tying Mary into this mix is the loose end that drives everyone nuts!
I’ve been “sorely” tempted to drive down there and dig that courthouse myself – except, Mary’s people may be the cousins from across The River in Ohio Co., Ky., making such a trip to Warrenton pretty meaningless until I can really pin down this loose end. Yeah, pretty circuitous reasoning. Probably just more procrastanation. I should probably “just do it”. Well, you’re only 43 🙂
Seriously, we are more than likely to be distant cousins and I am working on these lines but it’s a solution that won’t happen this week, even though that WOULD be great!
Now, why DIDN’T you send me a christmas card last year?!
Bill
Bill,
😀 Send me your physical address and you’re on my card list forever! Love & Light, Lynella.;)
Ah, yes, here they are!!!!
I have gotten so busy on some other research that I forgot where we were with my Suttons. I thought I’d read through it again here, since I’m on-line. Otherwise i’d have to pilfer the hard copies to find it and tonight, that’s more than I’m up for.
Brenda, did you have Reeds in your line? Just curious. You’re so good with this stuff, it’s just cool!
Well, Love & Light, lynella.:)
Lynella, I have Sarah Reed, daughter of George Reed (no info on George) Sarah was born 1775 in Franklin Co Va….. married Ambrose N Cox Sr on Sept 5, 1790 in Montgomery Co Va…. She died on Sept 26, 1854 in Floyd Co Va. Both are buried in Irenia Cox cemetery in Floyd Co. We recently visited this cemetery among others in Floyd and Carroll cos.
No, I don’t have Reed/Read in my line but there is a great piece of research on the forum done by a man who is working with Prof. Airy Dixon. He has Reeds and his research is well documented. In reading the research I found several names that are found here on the forum plus they all seem to appear around where my Collins were living.

Brenda and Dreaminghawk,
Thank you so much you guys! This is awsome and as soon as I get home this afternoon I will dig into it. Thanks again! Lynella.:)
Brenda,
Hey, this is way cool! I had no idea you had this on here. I printed it all up and now I’m going to go read it. You really are an abosuletely wonderful sweetheart! Thank’s again, Love & Light, Lynella.:D
BILL,
😀 I am truly sorry, but as your distant cousin I must worn you…..
I AM AS DENSE AS A FOUR CORNER POST! I have had all this stuff you put here, right in front of me all this time…..I get it out, read it, God knows where my brain puts it, read it again, again, again, and it’s all right here!! 😀 Don’t tell Kerry I’m as dense as a four corner post, cause’ it runs in the family!:D 😀 😀 I see stuff here NOW 🙂 that I just never saw before. It’s like I’ve been doing this with my eyes closed or something. DUH!:rolleyes: You poor man! Why do you put up with me? O.k, I’m on it now with a vengeance! Things are clicking, perhaps a little sewing machine oil in the ear would help….ah, yeah, that’s it….yes, I think my brain is actually chinking along now. And I’ll see what else I can do. You poor guy! I am so sorry I’m so slow on the uptake sometimes. I gotta’ quit going through life with blinders on! We had a horse, a registered Morgan Show Horse of my dad’s (Carl Ashby) The horses name was Topside Headlight, won a lot of stuff. Anyway, he hated those blinders in the show ring. I sould have taken a few hints from him. 😀 Love & Light, Lynella. P.S. Thank’s again you awsome guy, you!;)
