SHOCKLEY, SMITH -
SHOCKLEY lived in Willis Wharf, VA. I know his first wife died around 1928. Her name was Loretta SMITH SHOCKLEY. From some of the relatives I have contacted, I was told that Uncle Les' children did not like the step mother. They never heard their granmother's name, so I am lost. In the 1930 census for Willis Wharf it lists Uncle Les' head of household, then his children. I presume he remarried after 1930. I am not sure but I think his daughter-in-law is still living in Willis Wharf, she was married to L. Mayheau SHOCKLEY, Jr. If anyone has any info on VA. Marriages after 1930, I would appreciate it. Thanks, PS. If any SHOCKLEY kin read this query, please feel free to contact me.

FRY -
My ancestor-Abraham Fry originated in Va. before migrating to Licking Co, Ohio sometime between 1795-1800 I believe. He had a wife-Mary- and several children in Ohio but I don't know whether he was married in Va. or Ohio. He died in 1826 in Ohio. Two sons migrated to Ill. from Ohio around 1835 and I descend from Abraham Fry (1807-1883). The 1880 Census shows his father as being from Va. Would like to make contact with others researching same name.

I am researching the ancestors of Jesse Watson, b. 2 May 1802, VA; d. 11 Aug 1875, TN. Jesse married Susannah McCune (b. 11 Apr 1806, VA; d. 4 Jun 1889, TN) on 8 Jan 1829 in Charlotte County, VA. They lived in Charlotte and Prince Edward counties before migrating to TN ca. 1844. I am trying to locate Jesse's father, who may have been named William Watson. There are several William Watsons in VA in the 1810 census; I would appreciate any information from wills, deeds, etc. that may list Jesse as a son to one of these William Watsons, or any other information you may have found about Jesse or his father while doing your research.
