Have been trying to locate my ggggreat-grandparents to Preston GALLAHER. Don't know his parents first names - just know Gallaher/Gallahar and that his father was listed as being from Virginia. Incomplete list of siblings to Preston:
'Son' b. 1800, Virginia Married Mary G. b. 1800, Virginia
Thomas b. 1802-04, Tennessee
Preston b. 1810, Kentucky or Tennessee

I'm looking for GALLAHER's in Virginia shortly before 1800, when their 'son' was born. And it's taken me 20 WHOLE YEARS to get this far. Am hoping it's far enough to get more information?? THANKS! Dianne

The Gridley cemetery information said he was born in Virginia of French father/Scotch mother, no names. He was my Great grandfather on my maternal side.

BURROUGHS, KIRK -
I am searching for parents of Rozel Burroughs. He was in NC (Caswell Co.) in 1810 and 1820 census. He then moved to GA and is in the 1830 census for GA. He died in 1835. He married Permelia Kirk in 1810 in Caswell. There was also a James (who I believe was his brother). He was in NC and GA living close to Rozel. According to his bible pages it states that he was born in St. Mary's MD. But nowhere does it state that Rozel was born there also. It could have been VA/PA/MD/NC. Any help appreciated. Thanks

DUBOSE, STOKES -
I hope you can help me. I have been trying unsuccessfully for several years to locate information on my great-grandfather, Thomas Edward Stokes. This is what I know: He was born on July 30-31, 1881 somewhere in Virginia.
According to my grandmother (and her father died when she was only 2!) he was from Virginia, but his parents died when he was a child and he was taken in by his grandparents. She thinks he was from the Newport News/Norfolk area. He had an older sister. . .perhaps named Clara who married a Dubose.
I know where and when he died -- in Savannah, Georgia on April 28, 1921. His marriage license, obituary, and death certificate are not giving me any leads. I would love to request a birth certificate, but Virginia requires me to give his parents' names, and I don't know them. Since the 1890 census burned, I can't find him there.
My question is, does anyone have any suggestions of where I can go next, or how I can get around the parents' name thing and request a birth certificate? I really think the birth certificate is what I need to get my hands on! Thanks!
