Welcome from Henrico Couinty
Welcome from Texas!
My ancestors were in Rockbridge County back when Sam Houston lived there with his parents.
When Sam's Father died, his Mom took him to Tennessee.
I contend that my ancestors knew the Houstons.
As a Colonel in the Texas Army, I find that fascinating.
Another ancestor, in the Rockbridge 1st Artillery, was killed by Yankee sharpshooters in Winchester, VA.
He was mentioned in the book,
In this battle, known as First Winchester, two of the battery were killed and twelve or fourteen wounded."
I have both living and dead relatives in Virginia. But, like Sam, once he arrived, he stayed in Texas.
As will I.

THE STORY OF A CANNONEER UNDER STONEWALL JACKSON,
"I forgot to mention that, as one of our guns was being put into position, a gate-post interfered. Captain Poague ordered John Agnor to cut the post down with an axe. Agnor said, "Captain, I will be killed!" Poague replied, "Do your duty, John." He had scarcely struck three blows before he fell dead, pierced by a Minie-ball.In this battle, known as First Winchester, two of the battery were killed and twelve or fourteen wounded."
