ALMOND, McCRARY,
McCRAY -
My father was Leonard Baxter McCray; born in Walker's Creek, Rockbridge County, married
Edith Erle Almond and they had 12 children. They moved to Augusta County and I'm not sure
what year, but I was born in Augusta County. My mother was born in 1898 in Raphine, VA. We were
members of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church and I attended Wilson Memorial High
School in Fishersville, VA. I don't believe the McCray's were spelled "McCrary"
back then because I found a Census of 1870 when my grandfather was just a teenager. Thanks.
Margaret McCray Robertson, Atlanta, GA

PARKER, SCHEURB, SCHORB, SHARB, SHARP, SHORB -
I am trying to find a Sarah Parker b.ca. 1832 VA; as listed on the 1880 census for Boone
Co. AR. Married John W. Shorb; probably about 1858. The census for 1880 gives TN as his
birth place and VA as her birth place with both sets of parents being born in VA. I believe I
have found them in the 1860 census for Lookout Mountain, Dade Co. GA and again in 1870 for Dade
Co. but in Morganville. Then in 1880 they appear in Lee Twnsp., Boone Co. GA. The name
Shorb has been mis-spelled to read: Sharb, Sharp, Schorb,
Scheurb.

BELL, GORDON -
I Have been looking for my great great-grandfather who I believe was born in Virginia, prior to
the Civil War. His name was Felix (Phelix) BELL. He had daughter named Mary Jane
BELL, who was born in the Ten Mile area of Pennsylvania. Felix supposedly was born in
Virginia about 1805 and moved to PA before marrying my great great-grandmother Rachel
GORDON. I can find her records in PA but not his. The records there say he was born in VA.
I have checked WV records, and there is no record of him in what is now WV. Any info you can give
me would be greatly appreciated as the family records end with him, and I can go back no further.
I have tried the Mormon Church records and any other I can find. Thanking you in advance

SMITH -
The name I'm seeking is Blandymon SMITH. ... probably from the 1810, 1820 or 1830 census.
Would like to know his wife and parents' names if possible. He was born in Virginia October 1,
1776 and later "migrated" to Randolph County, Missouri. He must have lost his wife on the journey
or prior, because we have never found a name for her! His first name could be Blandamon or Blandy
on the census. He had daughters named Elizabeth, Mary, Jane, Catherine, Lavina and Nancy. I
believe only the last three were born in Missouri. Thanks for ANY help with this!

I am trying to locate any information on a Rufus Alls, birthdate unknown. He was the
father of Arthur Harrison Alls, b 1895 and Leslie or Lessie Alls, born 1898 At this
time he was married to Bessie Sue Thomason, born abt. 1878. I have been unable to find him
in any available census record in Virginia. I have found out that he had a cousin named Ivan
Alls and I have found his death in the SSDI. Rufus was suppose to have lived in Montgomery
County but I can find no record. Ironto was suppose to have been where my grandfather [Arthur]
came from, but although there are plenty of Alls families I cannot get a hit. Hope someone
out there can help.
