HILL, MANUEL, WORRELL -
I am looking for any information that anyone might have about Mary Hill Manuel who
was living in Carroll Co. VA, in 1870 with children, Martha, Alexander, Elizabeth, and John
Manuel. She also had another daughter living with her in 1870, but I don't recall her
name. Mary Ann Hill Manuel died in Carroll Co. VA in 1893, of cancer. She was
married to Philemon Manuel who preceded her in death sometime much earlier, as she was
listed on the 1870 Carroll Co. Census as Head of the Household. Her son Alexander Manuel
married Sarah Isabell Worrell. Anyone having any information about this family I would
surely like to hear from you. I did find some photos of the Worrell family, so I was
hoping perhaps someone in that family might have information about Mary. Thanks

BURNETT, JOHNSON -
I am looking for children born to Clark and Elizabeth Burnett Johnson. They were
married in Hillsville in 1893. They had daughters, Bessie (c. 1896), Nellie (c. 1898) and a son,
George (c. 1901). I believe George was a twin. I am not sure where the children were born. The
family lived in Kansas in 1910. Census says they were all born in VA. All help appreciated.
