NSDAR is not accepting the Montague genealogy book and we have looked everywhere for a Will for Peter or his wife Elizabeth Henderson, to no avail. She was born (according to Montague genealogy) abt 1775-7 in Spotsylvania or Orange Co, VA, probably near Fredericksburg and m. 25 Oct 1801 in Orange Co to Richmond Grady. The book says her mother (Elizabeth Henderson Grady) died in her home abt 1824 in Fredericksburg. Hannah probably died before her husband moved to Ohio around 1840. Do you have any resources or could you point me to a historical or genealogical society that might have some evidence to prove that Hannah is the daughter of Peter and Elizabeth? Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"comment-author vcard\">SPEARS IN VIRGINIA<br \/>\n<strong>W.

They had 10 children. Randolph (b. 1787 d. 9 Jun 1865) claimed to have been born in France, which could have been port of New Orleans, then part of France. The family later moved to Pocahontas County, WV. Very little information on the parents of either. Can anyone provide some assistance from your research? Appreciate your help for sure.

Wells, who was a dentist living in Madison County in 1864. He married Lucy M. Jeffries in Culpeper in 1861. George Wells purchased a house in Culpeper in December of 1861, and sold it in 1862. \u00a0He probably moved to Madison, then later on to Weakley County, Tennessee about 1868. I am trying to figure out his parents\u2019 names, if he attended UVA, and where he was born. Can you give advice on where to look in the area to find out any of this information? We will be in the area for a week in October, and would like to go to all the possible sources to dig for the info.
