February 13, 2010 Meeting
Saturday, 1:30 PM
The Bedford Genealogical Society February meeting will be Saturday, February 13, 2010 at the Bedford Public Library, located at 321 North Bridge Street, Bedford, VA. Parking is available behind the library by way of Bedford Avenue.
The speaker will be Ben Shrader, a Bedford County surveyor. While working on a survey project on Taylor’s Mountain in 1990, Ben discovered there were more owners of the property than just his client. His search of descendants of the original owner led him to so many, he began to keep a database which eventually numbered over 200 people covering 10 generations. His interest in this family led him to publish the book, Descendants of Roderick Higginbotham of Taylor’s Mountain Bedford, County, Virginia, in 2008.
The meeting is free and open to all interested in genealogy or wish to begin research on their family tree. Refreshments will be served.
