months cracks appear the owner must take -a thin wash of cement and go over the ontslde surface -with It. This will fill all small cracks and in course of time there will be no more trouble from this source. A still better way Is to veneer the Outside with common brick, laying the courses In and out, making a rough surface on the outside and then putting the cement directly on the brick. This adds somewhat to the cost, but makes a better structure. Houses of the type shown 'in the design seem to be specially well adapted to this kind of construction, simple In outline, with plain wall surfaces and not too large openings, with the casings, cornices and piazza woodwork- painted white and a good green roof, with green window blinds, and you have a very pretty combination.

Garland Anderson, who married Nancy Hamlet, one of the Jennings heirs, and moved from Amelia or Louisa county, Virginia, to Mississippi in 1820 or 1822. He was one of the nine sons of Henry or "Hal" Anderson, some of whom are said to have settled In Kentucky and Ohio. The seven sons of the above Garland and Nancy Hamlet Anderson were Henry, John, Bedford, "Woodson, Jabez, George Bagley and Garland, all now dead.

Can any subscriber give me any information? S. G. A. Washington, D. C.

Messrs. Editors: I am a direct descendant of John Way-land and Roslna (or Rosanna) Wllholt (or Wllhlte), the latter a daughter of John Wllholt (or Wilhite) and Margaret Weaver (wife). My grandfather, Samuel Monnett, who was a physician and Methodist minister, as also elder In the same church, married Mary Waylaad, issue of above, L. of Salina, has replied to E. of California, and offers considerable Information of above families which I now prize highly.

Will he be kind enough to furnish all that he has at his command? My father. Dr. John Wesley Monette (name 6pelled Monette by my father), was the eldest son of Dr. Samuel Monnett, also historian of "The Valley of the Mississippi," published in 1846. New Orleans.

Da- 6. 1L M. Messrs. Editors In the "Journal of American History" for September there Is an article by a Mrs. Rogers, of Georgia, on "The Lanes, the Courtiers of the South." These Lanes are entirely a North Carolina family, but of English origin, and while their ancestry is very distinguished the writer seems to ignore the fact that the Lanes of other States are of equally distinguished line-ago.

As no mention is made of the Lanes of either Virginia or Maryland, will you kindly let me know If the pedigree of the Lanes of Virginia has been given. If not, will you give It at your earliest opportunity? Mrs. K. Atlantic City, No sketch of the Lanes of Maryland or Virginia has appeared In Thb Sun. The toe.

brother of Joha Cobbs, of Goochland county. Thomas Cobbs was of a very loving disposition. He lived part of his life In Albemarle. Goochland and Hanover counties. Virginia, and from there went to Granville county.

North Carolina and finally, about 1760. settled In the wilderness of Georgia on a tract of land in Columbia county. It Is a substantiated fact that Thomas Cobbs lived to be 120 years old. He died la 1SS2, leaving numerous descendants. Of these Thomas W.

Cobb, born In Columbia. in 1784, son of John and grandson of Thomas Cobbs. became a distinguished man. Thomas Cobb was Representative from Georgia from 1817 to 1S24 and United States Senator in 1S28, and was afterward of the Superior Court of Georgia. In Congress Thomas W.

Cobb was the opponent of General Jackson and proposed a note of censure in regard to the Florida war. Judge Cobb was trustee of the University of Georgia. He died at Greensboro, February 1. 1830. Concluded.

Messrs. Editors Can you or some kind readers give me some Information regarding tha of Virginia, before the Revolutionary War? My great-great-grandfather was James Gatewood, who enlisted at Richmond. under Colonel Rhome. or Rome, but served only a few months, so the Pension Bureau says. He went to Kentucky and died.

I believe. In 1S50. He was 83 or 84 years old. The Spottyslvanla county (Virginia) records give him as a witness to a deed given to Peter Gatewood, of Spottsylvanla, county, from James BoswelJ, Ranson Bos-well and William Gatewood and Ann, his wife. Witnesses, Dudley Gatewood.

James Gatewood. George Humphreys. Uriah Edwards (1761-1762), Dudley Gatewood and Sarah, his wife. James Gatewood and Frances, his wife, of Amherst county, to Edward Bra afield, of Spottsylvania coua-ty. I am vary anxious to know who this Frances Gatewood was before she married James, and their children's names.

Patsy was one daughter, and James Gatewood had a sister Susanna, who married Richard Allen, whose name appears as witness to papers la Spottsylvania county, Virginia. Richard Allen was a Revolutionary War soldier, and came to Kentucky in the early days. He and his wife were at Bryan's Station when "Glrty, the renegade white. led the large band of Indians to attack the whites. His daughter Patsy attended the first school taught in Kentucky, and married the son of William Hiatt I Elijah), who was wounded at Braddock's defeat In 1755.

Elijah Hiatt had a brother John, and bis son paid a long visit to his uncle Elijah some years before the Civil War. We hare a Bible In our family printed In 1600 that had the Gatewood records for over 200 years. The records were unfortunately destroyed, bat the family hoodoo charm Is still la the possession of my uncle. Dr. S.

It's a dark red-Ish stone, octagon shape, about an Inch, or perhaps a little longer, with a hole running through the center lengthwise, to be worn around the neck to stop bleeding of the nose. It was bought of an Indian nrince 300 rears aro for 500 fn rold. We have a tradition now (as the records are destroyed) that, great-great-grandfather James was the grandson of a younger son of Lord Gatewood.

It trpnta mnat particularly of the branch which sprung from Joseph, was with Washington in the French and Indian Wars. Still It says the Gatewoods were of English ancestry, and settled In Virginia in 1745. I never saw this history, but one is owned by Mr. Tbomas F. Roden, of Mexico, Mo.

Philip and' "Joe Gatewood settled with Washington at Lynchburg or Williamsburg in the time of Cromwell, so another cousin tells me. Judge W. W. Gatewood, of Roswell, New Mexico, says he remembers bearing hlsfather tell of the three brothers who were In the Revolutionary War, if he remembers right, were with His father also had an old Bible with the records for over 200 years, brought from England, but it was destroyed with house and contents by the Kansas Jay-hawkers during the Civil War. I have tried every way to learn more of these Gate-woods, and hope some Virginia cousins or readers can tell me more of them.

The Johnstons lived In Orange county before the Revolutionary War. One daughter married a William Hiatt, who lived. It Is said, near Whitehall, Va. Mrs. Jennie Cunningham, of Belle Vernon, asks of the Watkins family.

I am a descendant of Henry Watklns. a Welshman, who was one of the earltest settlers of Virginia. Ills son Henry married Mary Crisp. Their son Stephen married Judith Trabue, daughter of Anthony Trabue and wife, Verll, who were Huguenots from Holland- and France, asd settled at Manaklntown In 1700. Stephen Watklns lived In Chesterfield county, Virginia, and died In 1758.

We have carried the name Verll 'through every generation since. I would be glad to learn more of these Watkinses from "Senga and Mrs. Cunningham. I failed to state that Stephen Watklns' daughter, Judith, married Asaph Walker, born 1735, died October 21.1808, in Madison county, Kentucky. He came from Buckingham county, Virginia, to Kentucky about 1780, bringing all his sons and daughters.

From this Asaph Walker sprang the large Walker family of Madison and Garrard counties, Kentucky, whose descend ents are now scattered all over the South and West. Asaph Walker was the son of Joel Walker, who waa Sheriff of Henrico county, Virginia, about 1742. Can anyon tell me the name of this Joel Walker's wife? He was born about 1700 and had a brother, Felix. I have been told, who waa born about 1703 a man of prominence, went to North Carolina, then lived la Tennessee, late In life moved to MlEalutppl, died In 1813. 110 years old.

He was a member of Congress while In North Carolina. It Is said this line connects with the distinguished line of Walkers back to Thomas Walker, of Westminster, London, hereditary Chief Usher of the Court of Exchequer. He died October 12, 1613. His eon. Thomas, came to-Virginia In 1619 and was a member of the Second Virginia Company, and Is spoken of as Capt.

Thomas Walker. Young Felix Talker came with Joel, a brother of Asaph Walker, from the Yadkin settlements In North Carolina, to Kentucky with Boone in 1769 (Scudders "Commonwealth of they went back."

I would like to learn of them and If this ancestor, Joel, the sheriff, was a son of one of them.

Editors: I am enjoying your genealogical gleanings, particularly along' two lines. I have two Inquiries which I "uope some kind reader can aniwer somewhat at least, if not completely. 1. Relative to the Wood family of Virginia, of which I am a descendant. My grandmother was Prudence Ann Wood, born In Tyler county.

Virginia (now West Virginia), May 18, 1822. She married George Janeway. Her father, I am led to believe, was Wood, who came to Tyler county from some other part of Virginia. He had a large family and among them a son, Shadracb Can anyone give rae any clues to this ancestry 2. I am also a Pocahontas descendant, 'but am unable to work out the actual connection and descent.

I am a descendant of James Sharon and Martha Eaton. Th former was a son of William Sharon and Sarah Smiley. Martha Eaton was a daughter of Joseph Eaton and Jeanette Ramsey. I also have an ancestor, George Elrick. who married Serena GilL The name Martha McWllllams also appears.

Another Sharon descendant claims the Pocahontas ancestry. I desire the fact. If It is not correct our family would not care to further preserve the tradition, which Is an honorable one. Columbus, Ohio. H.

Editors: Stannard's excellent publication, the "Virginia Colonial ReTister," reports that In the Virginia Assembly of 1752-55, sessions of August 22, 1754. May 1, 1755. and October 27, 1755, Frederick county was represented by George William Fairfax and Perkins. In the Dinwiddle papers Governor Dinwiddie makes a number of references to having advanced to Mr. Perkins 500 for the purchase of flour for the army, but always refers to him simply as "Mr.

Perkins." I would like to know the given name of Representative Perkins. In the Assembly of 1775-6, session of June 1, 1775, and in the conventions of March 20, 1775, and of December 1, 1775, Pittsylvania county was represented by Peter Perkins and Benjamin Lankford. Was this Peter Perkins a son or connection of Perkins of the Assembly of 1752-55? The history of John Perkins, of North Carolina, may assist in the discovery the given name of Representative Perkins, of Frederick. John Perkins was born in Frederick county, Virginia, in 1733, the son. of Ellsha Perkins, and removed to North Carolina In 1751 or 1752.

This would make Ellsha Perkins, father of John, of an age between the minimum of 40 years and the maximum of 55 years In 1752, elisrible In. age to represent Frederick In the Assembly in Stannard says that In the eighteenth century the Burgesses in Virginia were paid their salaries by the counties through the instrumentality of the levy courts at their meetings, following the sessions of the Assembly, for attendance upon which pay was asked. There are, perhaps, records at Winchester that would throw light upon the given name of Perkins! J. P.r Washington, D. Messrs.

Editors: Can any of the Throckmorton descendants tell me, who Ann Throckmorton married She was a daughter of John and Frances (Mason) Throckmorton, and was born 1675. A certain James Corse, or Course, or Coursey, as the name waa variously spelled, of Kent county, Maryland, married an Ann and died In 1747, having sons James, Michael, Caleb and David, and daughters Rachel Redgrave, Ann England, Elizabeth Howard, Hannah Briscoe, Mary Curry and Offley. The Throckmor-tons being directly descended from the ancient family of Offley and his wife being Ann suggest the probability that she waa iln Throckmorton, Who was born 1675.

Editors: Responding to Inquiry of I. of Salina. I am not a Weyland descendant, but I can give you some valuable data. I believe Samuel Monett married Mary Way-land in Madison county Virginia, September 22, 1801. I have record: (1) Mary was the daughter of John Wayland and Rosanna Wllholt and waa born Juna 23, 1777.

Beside Mary they had daughter! (2) Ann, died In Cincinnati or Batavla, Ohio; (3) Fanny, married a Fernandez; (4) Rosa. married Asher: (5) m-rried Tully. and a son (6) William. The latter had: (1) John Wesley, (2) Harriett, married Fitch; 3) James, (4) Thomas; (5) John. Rosanna Wllholt (supra) was a daugh ter of John Wllholt and Margaret Weaver.

John was a son of John Wllholt, who, with bthree brothers, emigrated from Germany. Samuel Monett TBupra) was the father of John Wesley Monette, of literary fame, who wrote several Important works concerning the river and valley. He was born at Staunton, 1803, died 1857, married 1828 Cornelia Jane Newman, daughter of George Newman and Charlotte Dunbar. John Wesley hag a son living, a prominent physician, at New Orleans. He is, of course, a Wayland descendant and takes a lively interest in genealogy.

Will endeavor to have him answer inquiries through these columns. A daughter of Samuel Monett, Fannie Eliza, born 1810, married William Goodloe at Versailles, Ky. A daughter Fannie married Frank Collier. Will not some Goodloe descendant supplement this, for they are also Wayland descendants? Who will give Samuel Monett'i ancestry? California. O.

The question of the use of cement plaster on the-; outside of frame construction Is one that Is very frequently asked and, although it has been explained and answered repeatedly, still it is a new manner of construction to the majority of people. It is good construction when well done. It cannot be said that a hard plastered cement wall on top of a timber construction will not crack. Still this does Dot prove poor designing or poor material. It is Impossible to hold plaster and wood together without more, or less cracking.

I have read Hay-den's Genealogy of Virginia Families'; but there Is a good deal about the Blackwell family that is not clear, and I would like to get what information P. has in regard to it, and would esteem it a great favor If P. would reply to this through the letter-box of Thb Sun, giving me such facts as he or she may possess and the authority for them.

E. M. B. Messrs. Editors: If not asking too much space, while upon the subject of the Ruffln marriage mentioned in HInes' Bible, I would like to notice D.

'etter In renlv to my inquiry of the aforesaid Martha Ruffin. A later letter of n. showed that she had corrected her dates in accordance with the Ruffin history in Critic, which I quoted first, that William Ruffin, not Robert, was first of the name in this country, and had two sons, Robert and Edmund. Robert, however, was not born In 1659. In 1651 his name Is mentioned with his father's in patent.

William Ruffin gives his son power of attorney August 22. 1667. In 1671 he is guardian on York records for Benedict Stafford, as husband of Mrs. Elizabeth Watktns (not Miss Elizabeth Watklns), who was by her first marriage Mrs. Stafford.

Mrs. Elizabeth Stafford Watklns Ruffin was born 1635. Her husband was probably not much older or younger. Mr. Edwards, clerk of Snrry and genealogist, states that from his records Robert Ruffin was a married man In 1674 (York records 1671), and he Is named as heir and administrator of William Ruffln.

of Surry, December. 1677. He died in 1693, leaving three children Robert, William ind Elizabeth. (This corrected according to Critic.) Robert 2d was born In the seventies and died 1720. His wife was Elizabeth, but certainly not the Widow Watklns (his mother, as we have seen), nor.

is there anything to show she was Miss Watkins, Judging from the uncertain ring of the early Petersburg data. They had four sons and three daughter Col. John. Benjamin. Edmond, Mary, Martha and Elizabeth (Critic).

Your correspondent omitted Benjamin, Mary and Martha hence, there were "various branches' in her early data to be accounted for, not to mention Edmond's line, second from emigrant. The Martha I want may be the one Just quoted. She might -ave been second child (sons always named Irst) and born about 1694. The question is Was she grandmother of Mrs. Hlnes on the father's or mother's side? Or was there a Martha In Edmond's line? This Is a very Interesting family to stndy up.

One familiar with Lower Virginia county families will recognize the name of Drew and Blow as Of old standing there as the Ruffins. F. B. H. Alexandria, Va.

Messrs. Editors: Permit me to make a suggestion through your columns to your correspondents somewhat out of the ordinary. You are conducting a moBt valuable department, but In the matter of genealogy no one ought to be Imposed upon. You are not responsible for errors appearing in your letter box. But It is a well-known fact which the officials of those societies are coming to recosmize that certain persons seeking evidence upon which to base their admission to certain of the Revolutionary and Colonial Societies make claims of ancestry and lineage which are absolutely without foundation in fact, or the proof Is entirely wanting.

Therefore correspondents may or may not make statements genealogically in your letter box entirely unsupported by either facta or proofs which 60 years of untiring genealogical research will not undo, and the harm to historic truth Is too great to be estimated. Hypothetical Inquiries are always In order but statements of fact should contain reference to "authorities, and in nearly every case family traditions are Inaccurate, or at least uncertain. May I ask you' to publish this as a suggestion that of all matters under Heaven one should be sure of his claims to ancestry, be It ever so humble or noble. There are Blncere searchers after the truth who are thoroughly enjoying your columns. California.

The present co-heirs of Middleton descend from the three daughters of the second baronet. The Maryland archives record that John Ashton came to the colony as a member of the household of Dr. Thomas Gerrard, Lord of the Manor of St. Clements, etc.

kinsman of Sir Richard Gerrard, who came to Maryland with Leonard Calvert, Lord Baltimore's uncle, and was a descendant of Sir Thomas Gerrard, of Brynn, who married Dulcla, daughter of Sir John Ashton. hence the relationship between the Gerrard and Ashton families. Capt. John Ashton settled in the Northern Neck of Virginia, and later Dr. Thomas Gerrard, of St.

Clement's, removed from Maryland and settled near the Ashtons, in Westmoreland county, the descendants of both families again Intermarrying. This branch of the Ashton family decends In dl-direct line from Sir Edmund' Ashton, who, as will be seen by the above pedigree, married Johanna, daughter and heiress of Richard Radcllff, of Chadderton, and who founded the house of Ashtons of Chadderton. By the court records it is shown that CoL Peter Ashton, of the Virginia House of Burgesses, named one of his estates Chadderton an estate containing 1,000 acres. Peter and Charles Ashton were brothers or cousins, certainly closely related. Both were members of the Virginia House of Burgesses, Justices, etc, of Northumberland county about the same time, and came to the colonies before Capt.

John Ashton, who was an officer in King Charles' afmy. Capt. John Ashton is mentioned frequently in the Virginia records. He was a justice of Westmoreland county, was appointed by the Governor a commissioner to portions of the county of Westmoreland to make treaties with the Indians, etc. One of his daughters, Sarah Ashton.

Sir John de Assheton, of the British Parliament, had a son, also Sir John de Assheton, who was drowned at Norhane. The latter married the daughter of Sir Robert Standlsh, of Standish, knight.

Sir John de Assheton, Knight of the Bath, married, second, Mary, daughter of John Byron, of Clayton county, Lancaster. At this period the name seems to have dropped its French prefix and become more simplified In spelling, and Sir Ralph Ashton is recorded as the son of Sir John and Mary (Byron) de Assheton. Sir Ralph Ashton was page of honor to King Henry VI.

He married Margaret, daughter of John Barton, of Middleton county, Lancaster. He was Knight and Marshal of England, Lieutenant of the Tower of London and Sheriff of Lancashire, 1482. He was made Knight Banneret at Hadonfield, Scotland, whither he attended the Duke of Gloucester to recover Berwick.
