As your editors traveled in Virginia during the month of May, we stopped in the town of Lancaster to search for records in the court house, hoping to find some traces of Onesiphorus Harvey. The original court record books of Lancaster County have been photocopied and the copies placed in new binders in the well organized, clean courthouse.

The letter refers to two brothers of Onesiforous: | As your editors traveled in Virginia during the month of May, we stopped in the town of Lancaster to search for records in the court house, hoping to find some traces of Onesiphorus Harvey.
