My grandmother was born in 1882 and my grandfather in 1883. All of the children were born in Virginia and my mother was definitely born at Orange Court House. The family moved to Doubs, Maryland in 1925 or '26. My grandfather reportedly came from lower Virginia, near the North Carolina state line. Any information provided would be deeply appreciated.
