FOSTER -
I am trying to find out the parents of my ggg-grandfather Samuel Stratton Foster. He was born 27 May, 1818 in Cumberland County, New Jersey. His family moved when he was quite young to Virginia. It may of been to the Richmond area but am not positive about that. He became an American Consulate in Samoa and died in Guam in 1880. Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thank You,

SMITH -
I am looking for information about John M. (Maltimore) Smith born around 1857 in Virginia. We know that John was a Cherokee Indian born in Virginia. I do not have the name of his parents or siblings. All that I know about John is that I found him in the Arkansas census in 1900's listed as Mullato. I know that John was Cherokee because the family has a picture of him with whom we think is his eldest son John L. Smith born in1894. If anyone can help or have any information on John M. (Maltimore) Smith please contact me asap. Good Luck to all who's searching for their past.

GOODBY, YOUNG -
I am looking for a Benjamin Franklin Young. Born 1827 or about 1827. All the info I have says he came from Fredricksburg, VA. I don't actually know if he was born in Fredrickburg or not. He was married in Saint Tammany Parish, Louisiana in 1850 to Martha Ann Loid (or Lloyd) Goodby. He died in Louisiana around 1879.
He named a son Ernest -born in 1859 who became a doctor. Benjamin had other children John, Benjamin, Duncan and Alice. Two of his sons John and Duncan were in the publishing and newpaper/printing business. Duncan was a writer.
Thanks, Linda

LONG -
My grandfather was Louis Melvin Long (Sr.) and he was born in Staunton, Augusta Co., on 28 January 1895. His father was a store owner, but we're not sure what kind of store it was. He served in WWI, and later moved to Richmond, then on to Baltimore, MD (1923). Grandfather died in Baltimore on 16 August 1959. Would appreciate any information regarding the family. My Father and his Sister are the only family remaining. My Dad has Alzheimer's disease and his memory has slipped away. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Jon.
