Hi Sherry,

My great-grandparents lived in Amelia/Powhatan area from about 1860. I am not researching the surnames you are interested in, but wondered if you have heard of the Taylors', Woodsons', Anderson's or Carters'?
I am responding to your 2001 post, so I hope you are still checking this website. Thanks,

Cheryl
