Bethany Church Cemetery burials

jeff_love1 — 2013-02-10 15:39:58Z

I am looking for a listing of burials at the Bethany Church cemetery. I found a family posting on Ancestry stating that John and Julia Ann Gillespie are buried there and would like to verify the location. The Find A Grave site lists 61 burials but no Gillespie.
Does anyone have a listing or suggestion?
thanks
Jeff

Wonderful!!! Glad I could help!. A good point to remember; always look at the original document when you can because of transcriptions errors.

Re: Robinett - Wiannce

DizzyHarris1 — 2012-11-07 15:07:34Z

THANK YOU!!!!!! You nailed it. I have been following up on your information and everything fits perfectly. That little breakthrough was exactly what we needed. The WIANNCE drove us crazy.

Re: Robinett - Wiannce

TarterDillon — 2012-11-05 08:53:31Z

Hi,
The surname is Wimmer, not Wiannce. Ann Robinett married a Jacob Wimmer-see 1860 Tazewell Co, VA census. Ann Robinett was the daughter of Daniel Robinett and Esther Waddle. Mary E. Robinett appears to the the illegitmate daughter of Ann.
Here is the family in 1850 Tazewell:
1850 Western District, Tazewell Co, VA M432 979 P233a D244 F244
Robinet, Danl 60 1790 VA Farmer
Robinet, Easter 64 1786 VA
Robinet, John R. 48 1802 VA
Robinet, Jas. P. 23 1827 VA
Robinet, Ann 32 1818 VA
Robinet, Prudence 21 1829 VA
Robinet, Mary E. 10 1840 VA

Looking at that census, Mary E. could only belong to Ann: Easter is too old and Prudence too young.

Hope this helps,
Janie

emcee34 — 2012-10-16 18:52:34Z

thank you. i did find my great-great grandparents grave a bout a year ago with the help of a local gentleman, Mr. Kidd. he met with me and my sister and showed us around the cemetery and the church.
which shooting are you referring to?
since you are local, can you tell me about my great aunt, SaraH Bales, who was murdered, supposedly by a Mr. Suiter.
my late aunt, Frances Bales Stowers, said she believed it was behind her house which i believe was the Stowers homeplace (behind Tommy's house) up on the hill. appreciate any local info you can give me.

Yes, they died in Bland and are buried in what I call the Pauley-Roach Cem. on the property of Bobby Bane, I visited the cem at least 10+ years ago and it was in ruins then, not fenced, the cattle had about destroyed it, am sure by now there's nothing left to find.

Kidd family in Bland County Va

tigersue01 — 2012-08-14 14:43:32Z

I am descended from Kidds in Pulaski county Va. My family lived in Roanoke Va, but grandfather Kidd came from Hiawasse (sp?). Grandfather's name was Walter Clayton Kidd and he married my grandmother, Mary Bowie, in Amsterdam VA, Botetourt County. They reared their family in Vinton VA, founded by Grandmother's family Gish.
Sorry for the back story, but I hoped it might help ring a bell in someone's memory.
Per DNA we have evidence that our Pulaski Kidds are related to the Bland Kidds. Am looking for any data possible on the Bland Kidds. They are a new finding for us and am looking to learn whatever we can.
Thanks!

rscpl2000 — 2011-11-21 00:48:10Z

Hello Steve, I saw your posting regarding the 36th Va Infantry/confedrate veterans. My wifes great, great grand father was Joseph Wade Cameron who served with that unit. He was from Bland county and fought in many battles. In 1864 at the Battle of Winchester he was taken prisoner, then being taken to harpers ferry. He was then sent too Point Look Out prison in Charles County Maryland and held there untill may of 1865. He was released after signing the oath. His oath that was signed is on display at point lookout. I also have copies of the muster rolls when he was held at point look out. In 1900 he was granted a pension because on the application he stated that he was struck on the head by a sword at the battle of winchester and could not work. He was granted the pension, $25.00 a month. On the other side, my wifes great grand father Lt. edward smith and his brother pvt. lyman smith on my wifes mother side fought for the north. 2nd conn. heavey artilery out of conn. One of the last battles they fought in was at cold harbor and lymon smith was killed there and is buried there. Joseph Cameron died in 1928 and is buried in bland county, edward smith died in the 40s and is buried up here in cecil county maryland which is where we live. I enjoy anything about the civil war and have a very large collection, to include an 1834 spring feild musket. I would enjoy heraing from you....charlie

I have been working with Edleen for over 2 years. Fact is I have given her most of what she has on the Carrs in VA. However, this is not her line of Carrs and she cant help here. Thx for your interest though.

Re: Carr/King/Shannon

S_Lessman — 2011-11-20 21:36:14Z

I am very familiar with the cemetery since I am related to all the Carrs there. The query was concerning the connection between the family...where did the first Shannon and Carr marry?

Re: Carr/King/Shannon

Kinsearchn — 2011-11-20 21:14:45Z

Findagrave.com has a listing and photos for the Shannon-King Cemetery in Giles County, VA. Carrs are also buried there.

Rev. Isaac S. Harman 1822-1892 is buried in the Pauley Roach Cem. on the now Robert Bane property in Bland. Rachel Munsey 1838-1907 is there also. Cem was nearly in ruins when I visited it in 2000, cattle, etc run over it and doubt if anything is left now. Dug through the leaves and weeds that fall just to be able to find what I did.

Elizabeth was known as Bettie and America was named for her grandmother. Cordelia's mother, born in Ireland, was named America. Don't know why. I guess it was a time of America mania in the UK.
