This is my latest quest in search of my roots. My husband was lucky in his search and had several connections to other Callaways which made his family tree go faster than mine. I am looking for any Edwards/Tates who lived in and around the Patrick, Grayson or Carroll counties of VA. In Paticular, Levi Edwards wife Mary ?. Levi was born circa 1802, and lived in VA. Another root I am researching is the line of Zeno Tate, married to Milly Edwards. He was also born circa 1802. Both were listed in the Tax records for Grayson county in 1828. I am hoping to connect to other relatives and spread out my tree and maybe someday it will grow upward too! I am hoping to plan a reunion of these two families in the future. It would be really interesting to see how many relatives we could locate.
I'm sure my family hopes that I will find something soon or give up as I have ignored then a lot since I got bit by the genealogy bug. It seemed so simple at first, name your parents, grandparents, etc.. but somehow it all got out of hand! I buy books, exchange family trees with anyone I can and generally worry all the older people to death in my family with questions about my ancestors that they might know the answers to. I've went grave hunting, haunted clerks of court, and made a pest of myself. I guess my next step is to join a genealogical society. I know that if I do, my family won't ever be able to pull me away!! I would like to thank anyone who reads this for stopping by and if you have a family tree please think of posing it on the roots.web site at world connect. Every little bit helps. Since I posted mine, I've gotten email from three states with family connections.
Again, Thanks for visiting! Cheryl Callaway
