these boys out when young and disappeared. It is unclear if he died or went somewhere to try to
claim land. It looks as if my Gravettes are visiting VA in one of the census records, mid
1800s (visiting relatives?), but I haven't substantiated this, although all the names fit.
Spotsylvania and Stafford Co are in my notes, but it has been so long, I do not know why I have
those counties written down. ANY info, however small, is worth its weight in gold. This family
seems easy to find because the name is slightly unusual. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

CONNER -
My great great grandfather and his son were both Virginia residents. Philip A. Conner
(Jul. 11/1755) was a young Brit who migrated to Virginia and in late 1775 at Hampton, enlisted in
the 3rd VA regiment of the Continental Line, where he served until 1781. We then lose most track
of Philip until he pops up in the Cincinnati area in 1815 seeking a War pension, in company of
his elder of two sons, Willoughby, born, we think, in Prince William Co., perhaps elsewhere, on
March 13, 1785. Similarly brother John B. Conner was born in 1793, somewhere in VA. While
we known Philip was a ferrier (horse shoer), Methodist lay minister or circuit rider (no evidence
of ordination), and lived for a period on a farm, we do not know: a) their County of residence
for sure, b) the name of Philip's spouse or the date or location of their marriage. While there
is some suggestion that the Conner's migrated to the Green River tract for VA war vets in
KY, we so far have no trace of them there. Any help in pinpointing the Conners in post War
Virginia by persons with access to records, would be much appreciated. As a partially disabled
retiree on social security only, I do not have the resources to hire a researcher or to travel
back there to do it myself. Thanks. Richard Conner, Las Vegas, NV.
