Genealogy - June, 1992

Issue: June, 1992

[Dear Editor,]
I am seeking information on the Mahery family. I know little except that they have descendants who have lived in Patrick County, Virginia. I have a few dates which I have not verified.

Mahulda Mahery was born 16 October 1835 and died 27 February 1913. Madison Bowman was born 19 December 1829 and died 13 February 1904. They were married 1 February 1855. I do not know their parents names. Susan Jestin Bowman was their daughter. She married John William Stanley. I will be glad to pay for photocopies.
