<description><![CDATA[I'm looking for a final resting place of Lyman Dunbar. He was killed during the Third Battle of Winchester (Opequan Creek), Sept. 19, 1864. I cannot find a record of his burial. Do not know if he has a headstone, of if he could be in a mass grave. Does anyone have any information on this cemetery? Have been looking a long time. Any information is greatly appreciated.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Library of Virginia (LVA) is pleased to announce the completion of two digital scanning projects. The processing, indexing, and digital reformatting of the Campbell County and Winchester City chancery causes is now complete. The images have been added to the existing indices on the newly redesigned Chancery Records Index (CRI) which is now located on the Library’s home for digital collections, Virginia Memory. The Campbell County chancery index covers the years 1793 through 1946 (with digital images posted through 1914). The Winchester City chancery collection spans the years 1787 through 1936. These localities join forty-four counties and cities whose chancery causes have been digitally reformatted and made available through the Library’s innovative Circuit Court Records Preservation Program, which seeks to preserve the historic records of Virginia’s Circuit Courts. The indexes and images can be found at the following link. http://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/chancery/
To date, The Library of Virginia has posted over 4.8 million digital chancery images. Eight localities are presently being scanned and will be posted in the coming months. Please see the Chancery Records Index for a listing of the available locality chancery collections.
Chancery causes are cases that are decided on the basis of equity and fairness as opposed to the strictly formulated rules of common law cases. Chancery cases are especially useful when researching local history, genealogical information, and land or estate divisions. They are a valuable source of local, state, social, and legal history and serve as a primary source for understanding a locality’s history. Chancery causes often contain correspondence; property lists, including slaves; lists of heirs; and vital statistics, along with many other records. Some of the more common types of chancery causes involve divisions of the estate of a person who died intestate (without a will); divorces; settlements of dissolved business partnerships; and resolutions of land disputes.
If you have any comments, questions, or corrections regarding the CRI or scanned images, please contact chancery@lva.virginia.gov.

I'm trying to find out if Evalina was married to John Orrick like the 1870 census appears to show, although they are mistranslated as Orrit.
Apparently Evalina / Evelina was also wealthy. I wonder how this was acquired, possibly by death of a spouse.

My 3rd Great Grandfather was Edward W. Ferguson. I do not know his parents names or if he had any siblings.
His Union Civil war enlistment records list his birth as 1821, Winchester, Frederick, Virginia.
He married Ruth Harry (or Harrah) on 30 Aug 1842 also in Winchester, Frederick, Virginia.
The 1850 census shows his residence as District 65, Wood, Virginia. From there he moved to Ohio and then on to Missouri where he lived until his passing in 1880.
Any information on him or his Family would be most graciously appreciated.

<description><![CDATA["Preservation of Historic Winchester" is requesting submissions from those of you with ties to Winchester VA & Frederick County VA. Instructions:
THIS PLACE MATTERS
Show your appreciation of significant places this May for National Preservation Month
Last year, the National Trust started a campaign called “This Place Matters.” It is a simple campaign: Take a photo of yourself in front of a place that is significant to you. Share why your place matters – be it a nationally recognizable landmark or your favorite local diner, they are all priceless to you, and we want to hear about it.
This year, Preservation of Historic Winchester is asking you to do the same. Here’s how you can share your significant place with us:
1. Make a sign or banner with the words “THIS PLACE MATTERS.”
2. Take a photo of yourself, or a group of friends, at your favorite place holding your sign. Or you can make a “mini-documentary” and upload the clip on YouTube.com.
3. Share your story and photo/video at http://www.phwi.org/ in the comments under the news event “This Place MATTERS,” which will be posted as our top event from May 1 to May 30. Files should be hosted online through an image or video hosting site to use this option. (See example form below.)
4. Alternately, if you do not have online file hosting, you can submit your photo and story directly to PHW’s email, phwi@verizon.net or regular mail addressed to PHW, 530 Amherst St., Winchester, VA 22601.
5. There is no limit to the number of places you may submit.
6. All stories, photos, and videos submitted to PHW via the website, email, or mail will be collected and posted on the page http://www.phwi.org/thisplacematters09.html Photos and/or stories may be used in a display at PHW’s Annual Meeting in June.
Leaving Your Story in a Comment at www.phwi.org:
Don’t forget to include your story with the link to your photo!
Example Submission for This Place Matters:
The Hexagon House by Sandra Bosley
Throughout my childhood, coming into town meant a trip past the strangely shaped mansion on the hill. My
summers were spent tracking the progress of the daylilies on the front lawn and wondering who lived in that
house. Whoever they were, they had to be lucky to have such a beautiful and unique building! Every Apple
Blossom, a trip on foot along Amherst Street would be interrupted for a few minutes while I gazed longingly
up the driveway, wondering who was using the building. All the while, I was still left wondering, “What is in
that house? Who designed such a crazy looking thing? And when can I get in to see it?”
You can only imagine my delight when PHW was offered the chance to return to the building after a little
more than a decade in the Kurtz Building. A few of PHW’s board members and I were invited to visit the
house for a tour while it was empty. It was love at first sight, naturally. PHW did decide to return its offices to
the Hexagon House, and I found myself in the positioned I’d envied as long as I could remember – the lucky
person who was using the house. While the house is architecturally significant and provides a chronicle of the
struggles of PHW and the community undertook to preserve this jewel from encroaching development, this
place matters most to me because the Hexagon House is like home – and in my mind, there can be no higher
compliment than having a place feel like home.

up the driveway, wondering who was using the building. All the while, I was still left wondering, “What is in
that house? Who designed such a crazy looking thing? And when can I get in to see it?”
You can only imagine my delight when PHW was offered the chance to return to the building after a little
more than a decade in the Kurtz Building. A few of PHW’s board members and I were invited to visit the
house for a tour while it was empty. It was love at first sight, naturally. PHW did decide to return its offices to
the Hexagon House, and I found myself in the positioned I’d envied as long as I could remember – the lucky
person who was using the house. While the house is architecturally significant and provides a chronicle of the
struggles of PHW and the community undertook to preserve this jewel from encroaching development, this
place matters most to me because the Hexagon House is like home – and in my mind, there can be no higher
compliment than having a place feel like home.

<description><![CDATA[Richard C. Bailey died Jan 1873 at Monticello, Jefferson's former home, in Albemarle. He had been living there for several years renting a home from Joel N. Wheeler the farm manager. (I'm doing post civil war research on Monticello)
Richard Bailey left money to among others a sister, Ann, who married John Gates. Court papers say the Gates heirs were the following as of 1873: James A. Gates of Maysville Kentucky, Elizabeth Ann Gates of Rockbridge Co. Va., Charles F. Gates of Iowa, John William Gates of Alabama, and Henry Gates of Rockbridge Co. Va., and Robert Anderson Gates of Winchester Va.
The Gates seem to be pretty well scattered by 1873 with two in Rockbridge County @ 1873 and Robert Anderson Gates in Winchester Va.]]></description>

ROBT. W. HENRY PASSES AWAY AT ADVANCED AGE
Life-long Resident of Winchester, Who Was 95 Years Old, To Be Buried Sunday.
Mr. Robert W. Henry, one of the best-known of the older residents of Winchester, passed away peacefully at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, No. 115 East Cecil street, after a long period of ill health, at the age of 95 years.

He finally became almost an invalid, but his every want was attended to with unfailing devotion by his children, an particularly by his daughters who live in this city.
Mr. Henry was for many years in charge of the street cleaning department of the city. He was a man of quiet and unassuming habits and manners and was intimately known among his friends as "Uncle Bob." Practically all of his life had been passed here. His wife, Mrs. Martha Henry, died a number of years ago.
He is survived by two sons, Messrs. William E. Henry, of Monessan, Pa., and John A. Henry of Morgantown, W. Va.; four daughters, Mrs.. Edward Neville, Mrs. Edward McFarland and Mrs. Kate Mills, of Winchester, and Mrs. Henry Dom, of Johnstown, Pa. He leaves also one sister, Mrs. Virginia Rainsberger, of this city; two brothers, Messrs. Jack Henry, of Winchester, and Newton Henry, of Pennsylvania, twenty-six grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren.
