Greetings,

I have been researching the Barnes, Lloyd, Nash, Rogers, Shoemakers, Stephens, Vaden, Vines, Williams, and others for over ten years. I love the concept and the work that has been done here.

I was born in Dante, Russell County, Virginia. As my family moved about, I have lived in Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas (a southern boy with southern heritage dating back to the early/mid 1700's.

I have been able to trace my wife's Vaden family back to D D Vaden born in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Although I have not found the link yet, I believe he is related to the Vaden's (Vodin, Vauden) that immigrated to the colonies in the mid 1600's. They migrated from Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and other places before settling in Hunt, Lamar, Fannin, and Jones Counties in Texas in the mid to late 1800's.

I currently live in Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas. I would be willing to help with taking pictures of tombstones in the Lubbock area. I can also look into other areas in the Lubbock County.

If any errors are found in the data I have entered or if you would like to add additional information, please let me know. If you would like to have a memorial transferred to your ownership, please let me know.
