CORBITT, FUQUA, WEST, WOOD -
I am trying to trace the following families in Bedford Co. (Huddleston & Lynch Station areas) William "Willie" I. Fuqua married Vergy F. West 27 Jan 1892. Vergy was the daughter of Whitfield West and Florilla Wood. Vergy was born 7 April 1874 and died 16 Oct. 1962. William and Vergy had one child, Ollie Ruth Fuqua who was born Nov. 11, 1892 and died Sep 22, 1979. Ollie married Richard Nathaniel Corbitt July 19, 1916. William & Vergy Fuqua were my great grandparents and Ollie and Richard were my grandparents. Would appreciate any information on this Fuqua and West lines. Would love to have contact with any of their descendants. Thanks and God Bless, Pat Corbitt Johns in Va.

HALL, MYERS, ROSS -
Seeking information on this David Ross. Oxford Iron Works, Bedford county. Signed David Ross. Dec. 12 1777.
Historic Sites of Sullivan Co., TN states that in 1795 David Ross of VA sent agents to build a Great Iron Furnace and in 1795 leased his "Publick House" to Wm. McCormack and Michael Montgomery for 30 years. Ross purchased this property from John Menefee and Christian Rhodes in 1790 as part of 2480 acres which these men had received as a North Carolina land grant in 1782. The property remained in the Ross family for many years. In 1817 it was inherited by his son-in-law Jacob Myers who built a large mill a few hundred feet from the old log house. Nearby Jacob Myers also built his plantation called Woodlawn which was inherited by his son in law C. W. Hall in 1841. The property remained in the Hall family until 1854 when it was divided into smaller sections and sold.
