Thompson. They lived in Montgomery Co., and Carroll Co., Virginia most of their lives. I
would like to know if you have land records or tax records. Their Children which were 12 lived
close by. If you have any information I would appreciate it. Thank you.

ALLIN, BEASLEY, BROWN, HARDY -
Henry Hardy married Rachel Beasley in January of 1822 in Grayson County, Virginia;
likewise, John Hardy married Martha Allin in February of 1822. I believe they were
brothers and the sons of John Hardy who deeded property to his daughter, Polly
Hardy, in 1819 (Polly Hardy married Abram Brown in May of 1822). Would like
to correspond with descendants of these families.

HARDY, MASSEY, SMITH -
I am searching for the parents of Caldwallader Massey. He was born in Patrick Co. in /or
about 1825. He married Matilda Hardy in 1842 in Grayson County, but they are in the 1860
Carroll Co. census. He was killed in the Civil War and buried in Lexington, KY in Oct. of 1862.
He was my Ggg-grandfather on my father's side. My maiden name was Smith. My gg-grandfather
John Smith married Priscilla Massey in Wythe County, Va in the early 1870's. Any
information anyone has would be awesome. Thank You,

BOND, MARSHALL -
Is the Rufus Bond that married Christina Anna Marshall daughter of Joseph & Julia
Ann the same as Rufus Stephen that married Martha Ann Marshall daughter of Levi and
Carolyn?
Both girls are part of the Simon G. Marshall descendents and I'm trying to
maintain and update a backup copy of the database of the 2001 Simon Granser Marshall Family book
edited and compiled by Payne Marshall.
Thanks, Denise

RICHARDSON -
William Richardson from Carroll County, VA, born Dec. 23, 1840. I would like to have a
round table discussion (by email) with researchers interested in determining who were Wiliiam's
parents. There are very good reasons to believe the present accounts are in error. Please send me
your email address if you would like to work on this project.
