County Clerk,

Orange, Va.

Dear Sir:-I am addressing you to know if you 
can give me some information I am very anxious
to get?  I do not expect you to give me this
information free, as I am sure you are called
on many times for such data, and I am willing
to pay you what ever is right for doing this
work.  Let me know what it will cost.

In the Census of 1790 for Orange County, Va.,
there are listed 2 William Strothers, one in
the list of Benj. Grymes and the other in
the list of Catlett Conway.  Are either one of
these William Strother's the father of Jane, who
married Thomas Lewis, Elizabeth, who married
John Frogge, Sr., and Agatha, who married John
Madison?  There were other sisters of the three
named above, and I want to know if they too
married, and to whom, and the dates?
I am trying to get the line of descent of a
John Frogge, born and reared in Virginia, who
married Lucretia Miller.  They had several
children, as follows; William, born 1796, 
Cornelius Mitchell, born 1799, Arthur, born 1801,
John, born 1804, Elizabeth, Cynthia, Rebecca (Lewis?)
and Mary, I am not able to give the dates of birth
of the girls.  While these children were small
the family moved to Cumberland Co., Ky., where
to this day the name STROTHER FROGGE is still
in existence.  This family of Froggs is connected
with the Strother family in some way, and I must
find how, and I know of no way outside of the records
of your County.
Could it be possible that John Frogge, Sr., married
first Elizabeth Strother, and second Lucretia Miller?

If you cannot go into this matter for me, won't
you please see if you can get some one there who
is familiar with this kind of work to take it up
with me?  Surely what I am looking for can be
had from the old records of your County.

Thanking you in advance for your prompt attention
to this matter, and hoping you can take up the
work for me, I am,

Yours very truly,

CKH/K
