News from across the Nation:

FOUND- Thank you to Emily Briddell of Maryland for answering my question about the Quaker Meetinghouse. In her research she found that the probable site of the

Meetinghouse that George Brickhouse donated to the Quakers is in Franktown, VA where the Franktown Methodist Church now stands. If anyone is interested in the visiting this site, let me know, Emily kindly included a map in her letter.

LOST LYDIA- I’m hoping someone can help me out with this one, I received an email asking about a Lydia Brickhouse from Nash Co., born around 1713 that married George Nicholson. I cannot find her in the charts and I’m wondering if she is from another Brickhouse line. Does anyone have any information on her?

A Picture is worth a thousand words- Does anyone have pictures of the Waddle family that predate 1900? If so, please email Jeanette Wheeler at gasladysocal@msn.com.
