Tim this is exactly what I am hoping folks will do. Share things such as
this with those who do not have a great library close by to do research.
I
love P&P and this will let me search when I cannot get to the library.
Thank you so much!!

I am going to try and reply to several of you in one email.
Janice, I have not posted sites. I was asking if others would do so with
good sites they have found that are not on Ancestry.com or another paid
source. Will however, post some too.
Claude, I have run across the 1704 Quit Rent site as Ihave looked on
Virginia RootsWeb in the various counties. Dumb me did not copy down the
URL or
save it. Now I cannot find it. I hope maybe someone has it book marked to
share. But it is there. I promise.
As for searching for line prior to 1700, I have two mainstays. One is
Purse and Person and the other is Pioneer and Cavaliers. Both are
wonderful
sources of early material. They are not on line other than in a paid
source.
But most all libraries with a genealogical area have them both. There are
multiple books in each and P&P is sourced! Just beware that in P&C there
are
many men who were a transportee who were claimed by a number of people. I
copied down all Thomas Greens and was amazed to find about 15 or more who
were all transportees into VA. Some in the same county and some in
neighboring counties. It takes time and work to get them straight.
I have also used the early Parish records, The Vestry Book and Register of
St. Peter’s Parish for one, when they exist and have been amazed at the
amount of information I found in New Kent County when I went through it
page
by page! DO NOT just use the index! I found approximate death dates when
someone was replaced on the Vestry.
Let me go and search my saved emails and see what good web sites I can
share and I hope you will do the same.

Only to purchase. I have looked at that book at our Historical library in
Philadelphia. Thanks for thinking of all us.

Yes, I saw that but it will show someone exactly what good material is in
the P&P series.
I wish I knew the man who edits it from time to time. I can give him some
additions/corrections to the last of the names he includes in several of the
major names. One of my line is Harwood and he has wonderful material and
proof on this line. But when he gets to the female who marred the Green,
there is nothing. I can give him lots of things. I just proved all three
generations of the Harwood line of Colonial Dames with this proof given.
The Clay line also has the last generation given with the Green connection
and there are major omissions in that material. If we could submit things we
have with our proofs, it would or should be a huge help in future editions.
Anyone know how to contact him? Or where to submit that kind of correction
information?

Janice, the thing about P&P you have to keep in mind, the name you want,
Roger Bell, might not be a primary but check the index of EACH volume and
you may be surprised what you find. I was amazed looking just for Green the
lines I found that connected to them and opened new doors.

Subject: C.S.A Albemarle
Recently while searching online newspapers for mention of the Shelley/Shelly family of eastern Virginia I found the following article in the Richmond Dispatch for 2/27/1898:
Officers of the Albemarle
Norfolk Artist Wants Their Photographs for Reproduction
The following self-explanatory letter has been received by the ladies of the Confederate Memorial Literary Society, and is published by them in the hope that the assistance desired may be rendered the artist:
Scotland Neck, N. C. Jan. 2, 1898
Secretary of the Confederate Historical Society, Richmond, Va.:
Dear Sir,
For the purpose of painting a large historical work of the destruction of the Albemarle, I have devoted two years in collecting the minute information required, and have nearly completed the preparatory work. The scene on the Albemarle’s upper deck will form the most interesting feature of the whole composition, and I wish to introduce all the portraits of the officers on deck at the supreme moment of Cushing’s attack. The portraits will be rendered from war-time photos. Captain Warley will be the central figure, painted from two photos loaned by his surviving widow and brother.
The following photos are still wanting to make the entire list complete: Lieutenant W. H. Roberts, died New Berne, N. C.; Lieutenant Roby; Lieutenant Lorenzo D. Pitt, died; Quartermaster Lawson; Signal-Officer Arthur P. Chalk, Richmond, Va.; Master-Mate Shelley, died, King William county, Va.; Pilot-Captain Hopkins.
Could you give me the addresses of these men, or their surviving relatives?
Thanking you in advance, I am
Yours truly,
William C. Knocke,
Court-Marshall-Room
Norfolk Navy-Yard, Va.
I am wondering whether anyone on the lists knows whether the painting mentioned was ever done and, if so, where it is not located.
Thanks for any help,
Anne Gwaltney
