September 21, 1996 from TaBearC@msn.com (Jan Pritchett-Good) Next COUSINS LEFTWICH, QUARLES, WITHCHER - Am trying to prove parents of John Banks Quarles, b. 1815 m. Mary Ballard Withcher 12 Feb 1844. I believe them to be David Walker Quarles who married Anna Leftwich in 1812. (Jesse Leftwich is Anna's father, and Anna had a sister named Indiana. John Banks Quarles named one of his daughters Indiana Leftwich Quarles.) John served in the War Between the States in the 6th VA Cavalry, 2nd Co. E as did his first son David Walker Quarles. His second son was named Jesse Leftwich Quarles. John Banks Quarles was constable of Campbell Co in 1850 as shown on the 1850 census records, plus I have a copy of the court record naming him constable. He lived in Bedford Co and is buried in Campbell Co, but his death was not listed in Virginia records. The Quarles family cemetery is in Smith Mts, Bedford Co. but he is buried on what was his son Fitzhugh Lee Quarles' farm. Fitzhugh settled his estate. His grave has a UDC marker on it but the UDC couldn't help me as they don't keep family information. They couldn't even tell me who submitted him for the marker. Neither can I find a will or place of death for David Walker Quarles. Once you are in those mountains it is hard to tell when you have left Bedford Co and come into Franklin Co. He also lived or had relations that lived in Dinwiddie Co as per my 1st cousin who is helping me do research in Virigina. He lives in Bedford Co. I grew up in Danville VA, Pittsylvania Co. John Banks Quarles is my 2nd-great grandfather, his son James Coleman Quarles is my great-grandfather, James Quincy Quarles is my grandfather and my mother was Clarice Elva Quarles, daughter of James Quincy Quarles.

Jul 8, 1996, from baubo@calweb.com Becca Pascoe JONES - I am searching for any information concerning my great-great grandfather William F. (Foote?) Jones born 1808 in Virginia. This search has been a real stone wall for me. He was born in 1808. I believe he may have been born in Dinwiddie County, Va. For no other reason than his next door neighbor in Arkansas was Thomas A. Jones b. 1820 And I found both names in an early census in Dinwiddie Co. They did not reside in the same household in VA. But their ages were about the same. I suspect that they were brothers, but have no reason to other than they named their children after each other. Thomas A. Alex?) Jones. I will much appreciate knowing who their parents were and whether any other information exists. August 17, 1996 from dcarty@ofo.astate.edu David T. Carty FENNELL, HITE, NICHOLS, RICHARDSON, RUSSELL, STOWERS - Looking for ancestors of my grandparents. Mattie (Martha?) Richardson, b.c. 1880-85, possibly southeastern WVA or southwestern VA. Her father's name was Oscar Richardson She married Andrew Stowers 1896-1905. Andrew B. Stowers (b. 4-1879) was descended from a William Stowers born in 1736 in VA. It is believed he is the grandson of a John Stowers born in Massachusetts between 1680 and 1692 and who emigrated to Westmoreland Co., VA, where he died. He was married to a "Frances" and his father name may have been Joseph Stowers. Elizabeth Nichols, b.1853, was the wife of George Washington Stowers (father of Andrew B. above). GWS was born 5/10/1842 and died 2/2/1932 in Cabell, WVA. He served in the Union Army in the Civil War. I would like to know more about Elizabeth Nichols. Her mother's maiden name was Russell and her father may have been a doctor. Blanche Hite, my paternal grandmother, born in VA c. 1880s. She married a Benjamin Fennell, who was a shoemaker, and also farmed tobacco in Dinwiddie County, VA. Family lived in the Petersburg-South Hill area south of Richmond until World War II. Of the 10 children (8 boys and 2 girls) 7 moved to Baltimore, MD in the 1940s. I have been trying for several years to discover the identies of my great grandparents and other ancestors in the Hite/Fennell family. Anyone have any information on any of the above?
