7/4/04 - Good Morning from sunny Arizona! While it is 106 outside, I am
inside on my computer tracing my family roots. I ran across an article
about some old graves that were discovered by the Tye river. The article
said that a Mrs. Ruth H. Blunt, a school teacher was able to solve the mystery
as the grave stones belonged to her relatives Joseph Mays Sr., well, I happen
to be related to this man, and am trying to determine if Mrs. Blunt is still
alive. I decided that if she were she would be interested in genealogy
and possibly a member of a local society. Would you be able to help me
out? I do not have a phone number in Lynchburg for Mrs. Blunt, so hope I
can locate her this way. Thanks for any help you can give me, Jolie

6/06/04 - About 1920 my Grandfather Eli S Board went from Floyd Co VA to Glen
White, Raleigh Co WV and a short time later he moved to Lillybrook, Ral. Co WV

May Board, his wife and a son Foncie was living at Lillybrook. In the early
1930's he moved back to the farm in Floyd Co Va. I have never heard of a son
by the name of Foncie. Since my grand parents and aunts and uncles are all
deceased I have no one to ask who this person it.

5/12/04 - Hello to all in the Mountains
I would like help please. My great grandfather was Charles W. Trent
b-1873 d 1912 He is buried in the Little Vine Primitive Bapt. cem
in Shady Springs, Raleigh CO. WV. He was a Locomotive Engineer. His wife was
Keziah Blanch Shively {sometimes known as "Tezza" and as Blanch T.
Snead/Sneed she died in Beaver WV in Pinecrest Sanitarium in 1974. Their
children were Agnes Ray Trent b 1899 md 1-Albert Johnston 2nd Henry Decker.
Son {my grandfather} Evert {Everett} Pete Trent who md 1st Edna Georgia
Bennett of Carter TN, and 2nd Helen Ruth Barnard. Pete and
Edna had three sons, #1 "Dick" Richard Boyd Trent was born in 1928
in Glen Hendrix and md Marjorie Lee Lowe . #2 Charles
W."Lucky" was born 1930 and md Shirley Fearson and # 3 my Dad
"Tucker" Thomas Z. Trent md Violet E. Rose.
Charles Sr. though buried in Shady Springs ,his tombstone reads G. W.
Trent husb. of Blanch ,and had his b as 1876 which is wrong.
I have been told he may have re-married a lady called Mary ,but have found no
proof. I have sent for B/D records in WV and they have nothing on him even
though his marriage cert. says he was born {his M/law stated} in Wood WV. He
was not! Some folks list his middle name as Wesley and we
have found no real proof on that one. If anyone is familiar with
"Dreama's site of Trent/Saunders family, on her site there is a photo of
a Lena, Willie and Raymond Trent who looks like my dad.
If anyone lives near Shady Springs and has access to the funeral homes
"Rose & ?" and Calfee & ??, could you please check there
archived records for me. Also if anyone lives near Hinton, could you please
check the Hinton Rail Road Museum in there records for Locomotive engineer's
in the 1900's? Also I have a few web site with family in case you'd like to
see photo's to see if anyone looks familiar.
Associated family names to these people are;
