My g-grandfather was Hillary A. Peele. He was born 1836 in Surry Co. NC. I think he died
in CARROL CO VA. He was working in the lead mine, I think sometime between 1890-1900. Can you
help me with this? Thank you so much for any help. Mary Gooch

MURRAY -
My wife's great-grand uncle, Johnnie A. Murray was born in Bell County, KY on Jan 18, 1918
and died in Woodlawn, VA on 10/12/1993. I am most interested in trying to locate an obituary for
him or any family still in the area. Thanks
