Will send the information on the Shenandoah County one as it is next to Rockingham County. Roanoke County is further away plus the fact that the name of the town was Lee in Shenandoah County. Large family so maybe some of the names will fit with what you have. Although Annie L., age 16, is out of age order she is listed as Daughter. Lydia Bealer is listed as "Mother-in-Law" so would indicate Mary Comer's mother. Name Parent or spouse names Home in 1880 Birth Year BirthPlace Relation Anna Comer (Francis, Ellen R.)

ORIGINAL QUESTION: From: "Ruth Reedy" Subject: COMER/REEDY QUERY My grandparents were ANNIE LEE COMER (born Dec 23, 1861 - died Aug 28, 1921), and OLIVER REEDY (born Mar 3, 1859 - died Sept 16, 1899). They were married on Dec 16, 1880 in Rockingham County, VA and lived in New Market, VA. I do not have a photo of them and would love to have one. Also, I do not know who Annie's parents were. If anyone can help me with this request, I would greatly appreciate it. Ruth Reedy New Market, VA rlreedy@shentel.net
