FELIX, GAINES, HARVEY, HOLDERBY,
MALCOM -
Hi; My 4Great Grandmother Betsy FELIX was born in 1774 in VA, an English colony, 5years
later her brother Samuel FELIX was born in 1779, in VA, an American State. Betsy and
Samuel's father, 5Great Grandfather FELIX, may have been a Revolutionary soldier.? Don't
know what happened to him, or where he came from or who his wife was?? Betsy married a Mr.
Harvey, had Nacy Jane Harvey, who married Nathaniel Holderby in White Co,
IL, where Betsy and her brother Samuel FELIX were living in 1850. Nathaniel and Nancy had
a daughter Tabitha who married John Gaines and they had Hilliard, who married Etna
Malcom, who gave birth to Paul Gaines, my Dad, in Carmi, IL in 1898. I AM looking
for pieces to the puzzle.

FOSTER, KENDALL, KINDEL -
I am seeking someone to do a lookup for me on William Kindel. I would like to know where
he is buried and what is written on his stone. This is the abstract version of his will:
"pages 510-511. Will of William Kindel of the Parish of St. Thomas and County of
Orange, being sick and weak of body, dated 9th of 1775 [9 Jan. 1775?]". I assume that the
brackets refer to is it the 9th day of the year, meaning Jan 9th. It is witnessed 26 June 1777.
Proved by Thomas Robins and William Picher. Also, the will ends with the name William (W)
Kindel, is there a maning for the (W)? Is it his middle initial for refers to his mark
maybe? I would like a copy of the written version of the will and the info on the stone and
where it is. William Kindel is my 4gr grandfather and this is all the information I have
on him other than the query that I have posted in the Orange co. queries. He was married to
Sarah Foster Kendall, who gathered her brood of 6 and moved to Wilkes county NC,
after Williams death in Orange co. Any information or lead someone can give me would certainly be
appreciated and I will be glad to exchange info and pay for costs, before or after. Thanks, E.
Cecil Kendall
