I got Sonny's okay to share the following with the list. Some of the Griffith family who were originally from Patrick Co VA moved to Raleigh Co WV. Nyla There will be a Cockran reunion to be held at the grave-site of Edward Cockram, who was a Revolutionary War soldier, and is buried in the Patrick County area. The Daughters of the American Revolution are presenting a plack for his grave. We hope to get a lot more Cockran names from this event. Subj: Cochran Reunion Date: 98-03-23 22:25:28 EST From: esgriff@mnsinc.com (Marv Griffith) To: NCreed1@aol.com (Nyla Creed DePauk) I got in touch with my contact for the Cochran reunion Saturday and she said it was OK to give her name as a point of contact if there is anyone in your circle that is interested in the Cochrans. Her name is Genevieve Starkey and her phone number is 540-952-1097. There is another point of contact whom I did not call, but it would probably be OK to contact her also. Her name is Jewell Conner and her number is 540-952-2404. Genevieve said that they would be gathering at the cemetary around 10:00 am and doing only a little cleanup. She said there was not much that could be done, but I guess they need to dig a hole for the marker. She said mostly they would just visit and talk and that there would be music. Everyone should bring their own lunch. The ladies from the DAR will make their presentation at 1:00 pm. Directions to the cemetery from Interstate 81: Take Route 220 south through Roanoke, VA to Rocky Mount. Then take 40 west to 622 which will be a left turn a few miles beyond Endicott. After several miles on 622 go straight through an intersection with 785, staying on 622. Near the county line you will come to 820. Make a left on 820 until you see a bunch of cars and a 4x4 road. If you don't have 4 wheel drive, you will have to park and walk about 1/2 mile down a hollow until you get to the grave yard. The grave yard is on the county line. Note, Route 820 does not show up on most VA maps. Genevieve will be monitoring her cell phone that day 540-330-5577 in case anyone gets lost. Of interest also is that Edward Cockram's son Richard and his wife Mahala are buried at the Charity Primative Baptist Church, which is historical, and is in the nearby town of Charity. I'll send you a map, jpeg file, attached to another email, so it won't take so long to download this email. Hope this helps someone.

It is Peter Cockram and his wife Mahala Cannady Cockram thats buried at the primitve baptist church. In Charity Va. Not Richard. I don't want anyone confused over the matter. Anyone with the folowing surnames should come, for I have information on these being linked to this tree: Cockram/Cockran/Cockerham, Wood, Salmons, DeHeart, Cannady, Ashworth, Rakes, Hall, Profitt, Hale, Griffith, Starkey, Brogan, Connor. There are lots more I'm sure, these are just the ones I know of. At last count there were 30-50 people expected to attend that have direct ties to Edward and the area. If you think you might be related or just have "folks" from the Patrick, Floyd, Franklin, areas and you can come, It is supposed to be a beutiful day, bring all your info to swap.

There is a new Burnett mailing list at Rootsweb; here's the info that will be posted to Genealogy Resources on the Internet's Mailing List page, if it hasn't already: BURNETT. A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the Burnett surname and variations (e.g., Burnet) in any place and at any time. Additional information can be found on the Burnett Family Ancestry web page at http://home.switchboard.com/burnettfamily. Mailing address for postings is burnett-l@rootsweb.com. To subscribe send the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) as the only text in the body of a message to burnett-l-request@rootsweb.com (mail mode) or burnett-d-request@rootsweb.com (digest mode). I haven't checked for other surnames that bounce around on our little list; I know there is a list for each of these surnames: Turner, Via, Ross, Nowlin.

But since we've got so many surnames that are discussed, I don't think I want to do away with our little list. It's too cozy! ;-) Also, I don't know if the other lists are archived; ours is. Now I'm thinking of subscribing our list to the individual lists.... not sure what ramifications that would have... What does everyone else think?
