Warren Co. VA Land Deed Book D,74, dated 15 Sep 1846, probated 21 Dec 1847,
The late Wm. Fristoe's slaves divided among his widow Lucy and among his 10 children.
1850 Warren Co. VA list Lucy Fristoe 70, Mariam 29, Julia 27, last two her daughters, her son Silas living next to her on said census.
The commissioners: Henry Hockman, James Stinson & J.S. Miller divided the slaves as follows:
1. the widow dowers: Ginney, Harriet & Silvia as her 1/3 portion
2. to six of the children: Silas, Susan, Elizabeth, Sarah, Priscilla & Lucy
allotted John & Mary
stated that said Silas Fristoe had purchased the other five shares
3. to four of the children: Nancy, Mariam, Julia & Jane received Ann & her two of her children: Clary & Elias.
The connection with the Fristoe family to McKay family through Moses Mackay Sr's blood lines, see page 277 of my MacKay Book.
Moses MacKay m. Mary Job/Jobe son
Jeremiah McKay m. Lydia Whitson son
Jeremiah McKay Jr. m-1 Nancy ann Dickerson daughter
Eliza McKay m. Dr. Zachariah James Compton daughter
Eliza McKay Compton m. Middleton M. Johnson daughter
Mary E. Johnson m. Lee Jackson Fristoe
Said Lee Jackson Fristoe was son of James B. & Mary Elzabeth (Hockman) Fristoe and said James B. son of above Silas Fristoe.
People interested in the Fristoe family I am sure can find additional information picking through orginial records.
The said Silas Fristoe's wife was Catherine DuBois Allen they were married in Shenandoah Co. VA 1st Aug 1825. She listed in my family history of Ann Elizabeth Lehew (wife of Thomas Buck McKay) on page 126.

Looks like I had the wrong birth & death dates for my great-great-grandfather Edwin L. Heflybower. The dates I had came from the Hoeffelbauer genealogy by Beth (Hefelbower) Seebach which was published back in the 1970s.
The birth year of "1843" was recorded and a death date of "August 13" was also recorded.
From some online records of Rockland Cemetery as well as a Civil War record I noticed the discrepancy in the dates. Both sources recorded 1845 as his birth year.
I decided that the best thing to do was to take a trip over to Rockland Cemetery and see for myself what was written on his tombstone and I saw where the correct dates were listed.
The record has been updated to record the dates as given on his tombstone.
I plan to go back to Rockland and copy down the inscriptions on the tombstones to update the list that was originally made back in the mid 1930s.
I also would like to do the same for Bethel. So far no one has posted a cemetery listing for Bethel but I am sure one was done many years ago.

From the notes of Hunter B. McKay, he didn't record the year he compiled this information.
"On Providence Farm now owned by the estate of Charles Copenhaver, dec'd, near White Post, part of the enclosing fence is standing the rest fropped to pieces; dreadfully overgrown, open to live-stock in the surrounding field, most of the stones standing solid and straight. No care given it."
