I would like to learn about my great-grandmother's family who lived in Grayson or Wythe County, Virginia around the 1870's. Her name was Minnie Campbell, and was possibly the daughter of a local attorney. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I would like information on Dillon, Mitchell, Shepherd or Murph. I have some information on all four families. If anyone has information on any of the four families, I certainly would appreciate hearing from them. Any information I have, I will gladly share.

In the June '86 issue, I submitted some names I was doing research on. The last one, Pritchett was misspelled. It should be Pickett. I need proof of Isaac Martin's parentage. Isaac was born in 1782 or 1785 in Halifax County, VA. It is said his parents may be William Martin and Delphia Walden, but proof is needed.

I also need proof that Edmund Fulcher Sr. (born 1800-1802_ parents are George Fulcher b. 1763 and Fanny Penn. If anyone can send me any kind of proof on either of the above, I will pay any cost that incur. Thank you.

Nathan D. Webster, age 6 on the 1850 Carroll Co. census was living with the James Landreth family. He was still with them in 1860. He was the only Webster listed on the 1850 census. According to his marriage record, his parents were Elbert and Sally Webster.

Where did the Websters come from? What happened to Elbert and Sally? What relationship was Nathan to the Landreths?

Any help in solving this mystery would be appreciated.
