    Hi,

    Thanks for commenting on the ROGERS of Tennessee. My Sarah Rogers was born somewhere in Tennessee in 1821. By 1837 she was living in Hardeman County, Tennessee, where she married Joseph Cox. I don't have parents or connections or Sarah at this time. I keep looking for her family.

    Regina, had to check 'cause I'm not too familiar with my Montgomery link. What little I do know goes back to David Montgomery who married Mary (?). They were prob. born mid-1700s. Their daughter, Rebecca, married Benjamin Todd....they were my 5th great-grandparents. I show Benjamin was born in Rowan County, NC and that Rebecca's mother was born in VA. Nothing else on them as to where they died. Though I show Benjamin Todd died in GA.
  • Cheryle Hoover Davis

    James Polk Hefner (b: 1841)married Evaline Rena Hoover (daughter of Cain Hoover and Susannah Keister). His parents were: James A. Hefner and Mary Ann Wade from Anthony's Creek, Greenbriar, Virginia.

    This Hefner family had been in Pennsylvania before they migrated to Virginia/West Virginia. Before that, the Koblenz, Germany area. Nicholas Hevener (variant spellings on the name) was the first to come to America.

    Hi Regina:

    James Polk Hefner (b: 1841) married Evaline Rena Hoover (daugher of Cain Hoover and Susannah Keister). They lived in Anthony's Creek, Greenbriar, Virginia/West Virginia.

    This Hefner line comes from Nicholas Hevener b: 1738 in Koblenz, Germany.
  • Leslie Anne Sims

    Hi Regina, Possibly a connection---Montgomery is my mom's maiden name, and she was raised in the East Texas area (Henderson, TX). I know that she has a family history book I need to look at for more info. I believe she has told me that "her Montgomerys" came to Texas from the Spartenburg, South Carolina area. Any connection, you think? Leslie
  • Gena Philibert Ortega

    Regina- I don't think there is a connection between our Montgomery's. Mine our in Ohio, Iowa and Kansas. Allied surnames include Randall, Riddle and Wolfenspargur

    Too bad-it would have been nice to meet a new cousin!

  • Cheryle Hoover Davis

    I couldn't find any of your Hefner's in the info that I have handy, but I have a larger database I'll go check...we may find your Hefner's in there! I'll let you know.
  • Tony Lee Pope

    I wish I could take credit. I have delved very little into my mother's line(s)...they are so mixed up. Much of this came from two cousins who have done the research. Ha...
  • Jim Crews

    have we found John's (1725) daddy?? I think you are part of his line??

    wonder if he came directly into the Charleston port??
  • D.L. Taylor

    My Father's mother was Ida Bynum. (b. 6 Jan 1878, AR d. 17 Jan 1919 Brady, TX)
  • Sandy Cowan

    Hi Regina

    My Bynum ancestors are from Tennessee

    Sandy
  • D.L. Taylor

    Ida's and Joseph's children's names were: Ruth Bertha Smith Crawford, Amanda Bell Smith Bostick Arthur, Clara Joe Etta Smith Thigpen , Lillie Mae Smith, Allen Smith, James Edwin Smith.
  • D.L. Taylor

    Thank you Regina. We know a little about the others of that generation but nothing about Ida.
  • Lisa B. Lee

    Thanks, Regina, So glad to hear you won a tote bag. My Montgomerys actually belong to my ex-husband, and are based in Louisiana, but since it's so close to TX, you never know. I have practically NOTHING on that line, only know that Lydia Montgomery was b. abt 1869 and she married Isaac Dronet abt. 1902, probably in Lake Charles, LA.
  • JANET MCCULLOUGH

    Regina , I am related thru Penelope B. Bynum , who married Walter M. Lavender
    How are you related to the Bynum family ?
  • Richard Bynum

    My 2nd Great Grandfather (Joseph Bynum Jr.) listed his father and mother's place of birth as S. Carolina. I've not been able to find him listed in the 1870 census and I'm sure you a familiar with the challenges associated with African American ancestry before 1870.
  • Richard Bynum

    Thanks Regina. I'm an avid ancestry.com and Legacy user, so I collect all of the census records I can handle. Nat Bynum is the name that I believe held my family of Bynums during their days in S.C. I traced it to the 1860 slave schedule and the genders and ages match up to Joseph and his family roughly. That's hardly conclusive, but the best I can probably do online.

    All of that said, census dates and places have been known to be inaccurate. If you have any information from your family's records during that time period that references a slave named Joseph or Ceasar (his middle name) and you are willing to share; I'd be eternally grateful.

    Either way, thanks for reaching out and your note.
