Steve & Bunny,
This is a red letter day in my 30 years of genealogy!
I always look through everything you send to me and today I hit the jackpot!
A couple of my lines are missing some essential "puzzle pieces", i.e. the
Elsey line and the White line! Well, you sent me quite a gift today in the
Hardy County, VA tax lists!
My 4th great-grandfather, Edward Elsey, has been a real challenge! He was
on both the 1789 & 1799 lists for Hardy County, VA!
I have a marriage record (2nd marriage from 1811) for him from Hardy County
and am trying to find records that he owned property on the Stony River,
just a few miles south of the North Branch of the Potomac River, in what was
then Hardy County. I have yet to find the property records but haven't
given up!
I found a John Elsey on the list, too, and think he may have been a brother
of Edward who was born in England before Edward's parents came to America.
I believe Edward was born in 1755 in Maryland (but could have been Virginia)
in Frederick County. I have some paperwork about his ARW service and a copy
of his brother's (Thomas Elsey) ARW pension application that I use as
"anchors".
I also found Samuel White on 1799 list. I believe Samuel was a brother of
my 5th great grandfather, Thomas White, originally from Sussex County, New
Jersey. Thomas White settled in Randolph County (VA, now WV), where I live.
I can never thank you enough for your generosity in sharing your work! You
have been a wonderful resource for me and today you outdid yourselves!
