Kathleen, my ggrfather was Robert Lee Hash, his wife was Dorcas Shupe. Dorcas was born June 18, 1871, to Josiah Shupe and Levinah Robinson, in Chilhowie, Smyth Co, Va. This is according to a microfiche from the LDS church. It's page 29,091, of the Virginia state records. This info also happens to agree with what my grandfather taught his children. Page 29,096, also shows the date of Josiah's birth as Aug 11,1815, and lists Henry Shupe and Polly Forbush as his parents. Most of his siblings are also listed, just in case you're interested in them. Josiah was born in Wythe Co, VA, while Levinah was born in Smyth Co, VA, 22/4/1828. I have Josiah's Grfather as Henry Shupe,Sr, and his Grmother as Esther Debusk. However those names aren't carved in stone, yet. Oh, I have a marriage date of May 27, 1813, for Henry and Polly. Couldn't tell you where I got that from though. I'm pretty sure of my info, since I have it from more than one source. Hope this is of some help to you.---Etta
