RICHARDSON -
I am looking for Amos Richardson, born about 1761 in Beford County, Virgina, according to his pension files. Also, Amos died in Campbell County, TN after 1850, where according to the 1850 Campbell County Census he was 89 years old. He is also buried in Campbell County, TN. According to the Census in 1850, he was around several Richardsons, and I'm trying to figure out if they were related, and how. Anyway, what I need is birth recognition, with parents, and possible other siblings he grew up with. What kinds of Records are available on the Richardson Family in Beford County in mid to late 1700s, and how do I go about getting copies made?. I live in California, and would be willing to pay for copies of records etc. First I would like to find Amos' birth record if possible. I hope I am not asking too much... Let me know if I am.

MCCANN, MORRIS, TYLER, WATTS -
I have done a lot of research on the Tyler family and the Bedford Tylers are the direct line of my son-in-law, via Daniel Tyler who moved from Amherst to Bedford shortly after 1800. My question is this. In 1825 a Mary Tyler died and left a will. She mentioned no children or husband but some grandchildren named Watts and Morris. In 1819 a Polly Tyler married Morgan Morris in Bedford and is presumably the daughter of Mary Tyler who produced the Morris grandchildren. Daniel Tyler had a Polly Tyler also but she married another man named McCann so we know that Polly Tyler Morris is not a daughter of Daniel's but is most likely the daughter of Mary Tyler of the 1825 will. I have a couple of theories but absolutely no evidence. For example there was a Joseph Tyler in Amherst thought to be a brother of Daniel's who died in 1796. Might Mary be his widow. Who in Bedford is looking at the Tylers and would be willing to share information with me. Thanks in advance-

NUCKOLS, STINNETT -
I am looking for the parents of Robert Nuckols, born 1870, possibly Bedford County VA, married Sallie T. Stinnett on September 5, 1892 in Amherst County, VA. He was the father of my great-grandfather Homer Robert Nuckols, and of Effie Loving Nuckols. Any info would be appreciated. I have checked every file I could find on VAGenWeb and posted queries eveywhere I've come across so far...he had to have had parents!!! But so far I can find absolutely no evidence of them...anywhere! I would also appreciate any suggestions of further places to look. So far I've posted to the Nuckles forum at Genforum as well as the Nuckols page on Common Threads...I've checked the LDS pages, Ancestry.com, and as I said, all of the wonderful files at VAGenWeb. Any help at all would be so much appreciated, as I'm trying to get my family tree prepared as a Christmas gift for my Grandma Myra. Robert was her grandfather. Thank You,
