Hello Everyone--new to Genealogy Wise today. I am looking for information on Thomas Shepherd, born 1705 in Maryland, but lived most of his life and died in Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, Virginia. He also lived in Mecklenburg, Frederick County, VA. He married Elizabeth Van Meter in 1733 in Frederick, Somerset County, VA, and they had ten children. Daughter Elizabeth Shepherd married William Brown and their daughter Elizabeth Brown married William Robert Hulse. Then the family started moving to Ohio. Does anyone have any information on any of these families: Shepherd, Brown, Hulse? Thanks for your help

Hi all,
I am searching for information on an Allan Campbell b. @ 1685 and emmigrated to Virginia in 1721. He was to have come from Loch Carron in the northwest Highlands near the island of Skye. And he was to have left a large estate located in the Parrish of Ardchattan which included territory on the mainland of Argyshire. Why he left Scotland is not known as he left a large estate and his wife, four sons and two daughters. I have found no trace of him and am beginning to think this connection is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm looking for information on Stephen Burwell from Gills Creek, Franklin County Virginia. I have found him on the U.S Census but there is a gap in the years. He had a son John L. Burwell, who is my husband's great grandfather. If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Carol...I'm not sure if my hubby is related to Hannah. My mother-in-law said most of her Neely relatives are from West Virginia. I am hoping someone can help me find more information. My husband's grandmother's name was Frankie Ruth Neely.

Cindy-did your husband by any chance have a Hannah Neely in the early 1800s? One of my Dobkins men-Hugh Dobkins married Hannah Neely. The name is not all that common-plenty of Neals, but not too many Neely/Neeleys.
