Strange coincidence

I was just thinking today that I might start a stub on Leopold Copeland Parker Cowper, then I found that you beat me to it. What are the odds??--Kubigula (talk) 03:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously there's something in the air--or the drinking water! GeoWPC 13:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. I never realized that drinking Virginia tapwater could cause a sudden surge of interest in obscure 19th Century lt governors. Live and learn.--Kubigula (talk) 15:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In truth, I wrote Cowper's entry in the third volume of the Dictionary of Virginia Biography. Having spent so much time excavating the details of his life (particularly pinning down a birth date for him, which was buried in his mother's divorce petition), I rather acquired a fondness for him.

Constance Cary

Hi, i stumbled on your Virginia Randolph Cary, who was a grandmother of Constance Cary. that writer gene was strong pohick (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Randolph-Cary clan certainly produced some very influential writers and some amazing women. Virginia's sister Mary Randolph wrote The Virginia House-Wife (1824); their sister Judith Randolph carried out the manumission and resettlement of more than seventy slaves; and their sister Ann Cary "Nancy" Randolph was accused of adultery with her brother-in-law (Judith's husband) and infanticide in 1792 in what is usually called the Bizarre scandal.

Ann Randolph

Glad you have Bible records; I, of course, defer and apologize - mybad. Are you a relation ? Mayo-Fitzhugh —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.12 (talk) 04:05, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not related, alas. I've done a great deal of writing on the Custises. Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis recorded notes on her parents', siblings', and children's life dates in a copy of Annual Visitor: or, Almanac for the Year of our Lord, 1802, which is in the Annfield Collection, Clarke County Historical Association, Berryville, Va. Good luck with your research. GeoWPC (talk) 12:49, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info - was reading online an excerpt the other day from a book last year about R.E.Lee and how his mother-in-law's passing affected him; likely converted him - all fascinating. Good hunting to you ! Mayo-Fitzhugh —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.171.0.146 (talk) 03:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
