ALLISON posted by Art Michaelis on Saturday, January 30, 1999

My 2g grandfather Edward Lee ALLISON was born in VA in 1829 and I am looking for his family. In the 1830 census for Augusta Co. there are three ALLISON families listed with male children under 5, John ALLISON (p002), John ALLISON (p002) and William ALLISON (p002). Are these three families related? Does anyone have information on the children of these gentleman? I would appreciate hearing from you even if Edward is not among the children so that I can eliminate the family as a possibility. Thank you and "Good Hunting" to everyone!

PULTZ posted by Cecil Edward Pultz on Saturday, January 30, 1999

Looking for information on the "Pultz" surname. In recent conversations by e-mail, I have been told that two pultz brothers arrived in Virginia in the 1700's. One staying in Virginia and one moving to New York. They were said to have married native women. Of interest would be the "Monocan" tribe? Would this tribe of natives be from the Augusta Co. area of Virginia? If so, does anyone have any links to where I might find more info. about them? Also mentioned was a place called "Bear Mountain". Is this there also? Thanks,
