Janney Land
Posted by: Virginia Koseff Date: October 18, 2001 at 20:23:57
  of 812

My Janney ancestors owned some land on the border of Floyd
and Franklin Counties. 30 acres being in Floyd and 37 in
Franklin Co. The land was sold in 1895 to a Tazwell Martin.
I cannot find to whom he sold or willed the land. Several
Companies have purchased the land in later years, one being
Rock Creek Ltd. I have travelled to the area from Calif.
but have never been able to find a road leading to it. If
anyone can tell me how to enter into the land, I would be
very very grateful. I have been told that my ancestors
lived and were buried on the land. My grgrandparents, Burwell and Mary Radford Janney, and Burwell's 2nd wife,
Betty Janney Ray Janney and my gggrandparents, Moses and
Mararet(Peggy)Dixon Janney are buried there. ANY HELP
WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thank You in Advance.
