STERLING -
Need to locate a John Sterling born about March 1854 somewhere in Virginia. The 1880 Census of Parker Co., TX is not clearly written so date "could" be 1864, another census indicates ca 1852. He is NOT the John Cook Sterling, born Dec. 17, 1854 in the City of Richmond because I have "his" death as a toddler in same location. Parents are clearly stated in that birth record and the death record. HELP PLEASE!!! There IS a John Henry Sterling age 8 on 1860 Preston Co., VA census (later West Virginia). I don't locate him on 1870 census. Then 1880 he is in Parker Co., TX, age 28 shown and newly married. This morsel has possibilities.

GRAY, VAUGHAN, VAUGHN -
I'm trying to find out about physician named M. Vaughan who was born in Virginia around 1809. He later moved to Lawrence County, Alabama. Are there any records on physicians at that time? I'm trying to find out what county in Virginia was he originally from and who were his other family members. He may have had a connection with the Gray family of Kentucky and Lawrence County, Alabama.
I'm also trying to find out what county my ggggrandfather Ryland Vaughn (or Vaughan) was originally from in Virginia. He also ended up in Lawrence County, Alabama and may have had a connection with physician M. Vaughan and/or the Gray family.
Thank you

CROXTON, PARKER -
Seeking information on Bernard Croxton, who died around age 17 years sometime between 1939 and 1949. I know at one time he and his family lived in Essex County but also lived in Middlesex and Matthews. His mother was Catherine Croxton (nee: Parker) and his father would be Walter Croxton. Bernard is my mother's brother. I don't know how to go about finding information on Bernard because some need a death certificate (like Census) but I don't have enough information to request that. Bernard is buried in the Zoar Baptist Church in Deltaville, but his grave is unmarked. We'd like to locate his grave location there and get him a marker. The church says they need to know his date of death in order to help us find his location in the cemetary. Siblings of Bernard include Julia E., Dean W., & Francis W. Any information at all would be most appreciated.
