BARBOUR, FREEMAN posted by Howard W. Holmes on Thursday, November 20, 1997

Thomas BARBOUR-Will dated 27 Oct 1794 states he was a resident of Orange Co VA.  This same will was filed in April 1818 in Hardin CO KY.  It is listed just above a will for Elisha FREEMAN, my ancestor. These words are typed along with Freeman's will entry: "Recorded 13 April 1828 at the request of Elisha Freeman who is yet alive." Barbour's will provided for a bequest to Elisha Freeman, so I believe it might involve land in Hardin Co Ky owned by Barbour which he was bequethed to Freeman.  My mystery is what relation was Freeman to Barbour.  The will said Elisha was the son of Thomas Freeman.  Also, the brothers of Barbour were listed s Ambrose, Thomas and James and a sister, Mary Harrison. Does anyone know this Barbour family from the 1790's in Orange Co?

DAVIES, FRY posted by Frances Carner on Friday, November 28, 1997

I have documents from family Bibles and papers stating Frances Walker (Davies) Fry gave birth to her son, William Reuben Fry, at Orange Court House, VA., 1870.  She died a month or more later at Orange Court House. Also, I have family letters from individuals mentioning Orange Court House, "I plan to see a Christmas Tree they are putting up for the children at Orange C. H....." Evidently many of my ancestors went to Locust Dale Acadamy and spent time also at Orange Court House.  They were Frances Walker Davies Fry, Robert Geddes Davies, Joseph Davies and others (the Davies name was sometimes spelled Davis).  I am unable to travel but would like more information about the Academy and Orange Court House functions during the mid 1800s, specifically 1855-1875.
