[Dear Editor,]
I am seeking information about the children of Theodore Roosevelt (Ted) and Eva Fisher Holley. Ted was born August 29, 1914 in Franklin County and was buried near Wirtz, Virginia. He was killed on February 14, 1942 near Cascade, Virginia when struck by a Danville and Western Railway train. Ted and Eva were married in Franklin County October 3, 1931.

His children included Edward, Edith, Mary Lee, Jack and Rose, and maybe others.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of any of these children contact:

I'm looking for information about my great-great-grandfather, Nickolos Miller who came from Nothern Germany and settled along the Yadkin River in North Carolina. His wife was Sally Griffith. Their son, Valentine C. Miller and two of his brothers, came to this area, Russell County, VA, in the early 1800's. Valentine married "Tempie" Hale from Franklin County, VA. I'd appreciate any other information from other descendents,

Thanks,
