Originals? Really? I'd be happy with just copies. My family photos, unfortunately, are not very extensive. What I gave you is pretty much what I have, as far as old stuff is concerned.
Thanks for the offer. That's very generous.

Thank you very much for your birthday greeting! I just found your message today.

Hey Sherry, I am so sorry I haven't gotten back to you on my husband's Wyatt line. My internet was out for almost two weeks now. My cable company was bought out by another company and it has been a nightmare. Anyway, I checked and I didn't have a Jefferson Davis Green in my husbands line nor did I have a Goen. Again, I'm sorry it took me so long.

Thanks Sherry!

Thank you for the warm welcome, Sherry.

I went on your Texas website and found Cpt David Peeples from Fife, Scotland. This is my first message on GenealogyWise and Idon't know the protocol or way to do things so I'm emailing you directly about this ancestor. Are you related to him? My cousin and I are (he's a Peeples and my gggrandmother was). We had many Peeples who immigrated to Texas. Are you related to any there? Would love to hear from your re. this family.

Thank you, Sherry.

Surely you're expecting something important happens,
What can change for the better your story,
This will be a milestone in his life, Jesus says that great and his blessing.
Do not be anxious your heart, rest in God
has a lot of patience and I promise, do not worry
Do not be fooled by adverse circumstances.
when we think that it is difficult to the Lord Jesus comes
To put your hand.
He specializes in doing great things
In favor of whom put his trust.
Do not give up says: I am winner.
have a nice day.

Hi Sherry,

Sorry for the delay in saying thanks for the birthday wishes. I have been dealing with a lot of health issues, one being post polio problems, and I need a knee replacement but have to get some weight off for that so I've not been able to get on the computer and check all the sites I signed up for, this being one of them.

Hope all is going well with you and yours and I pray y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I just posted some of my family history on the Jones side so if you see anything that may somehow connect, let me know.

Have a great week

Carol

Yes, we have Weatherfords from Kentucky and Tennessee. There is also family lore that we are related to William (Red Eagle) Weatherford; however, we have not been able to establish the link. We have a very old Weatherford Bible. I am a member of the DAR in San Francisco and have traced back family on both sides to the Mayflower and Revolutionary War....still are many branches of the family to research. Where are your Weatherford's from?

Thank you Sherry, you cannot imagine how thrilled I am to find this social group. I am somewhat new to the family tree business but am having so much fun. I look forward to researching with every body and getting to know folks from other walks of life, and who knows ... might just find some relatives in the process.
Have a great day!!!

Thank you. Sherry.

I have noticed on your profile that you are reseaching Rogers. I have been reading a book by Bobby Gilmer moss called "the Patriots at the Cowpens". There are listed two Rodgers in the book that migrated from Va. to Ky.. Any of these yours?--Russell

My Rodgers came from Ala. as for a I understand. Joseph Rodgers & Elizabeth...1860 Hardin Co TX Census.

Moost of my family lived in Hardin Co. at one time !! Both of these were born 1763 & 1764. Probably different line altogether.

Hi Sherry,
Thank you for the welcome.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hi Sherry:

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Thanks for the welcome message.

Hi, I came to this site in such of information concerning Major Daniel McLarin who fought at Cowpens, SC in the revolution. He recieved the battle site and other lands now a National Park. I'm involved in preparing a historic article concerning direct descendant James McLarin who recently passed away leaving a genealogy proving his direct ancestry from Major Daniel McLarin. Herbert Harrison Perry

Thank you for the welcome. I am sure I will enjoy this site. I have a lot of relatives in Texas. Ted

I saw your info on Liberty County at the rootsweb.ancestry.com about Milvid and that led me here with a Milvid Google search. I joined your group.

No, sorry. My Gray ancestors were in Anderson County at Antrim (no longer exists) and Elkart, Houston County north of Grapeland close to the Anderson County Line, and in San Jacinto County in and near Cold Springs (spelling, now), TX. Some of them are buried at the inaccessible Kyle Cemetery near Elkhart and many more at the Antrim Cemetery in Houston County. Good luck with your Grays.

I have not found much information about the Antrim Community in Anderson County. Have you?

Thank you. Is this where I post my surnames and interests?
Pam Brewer

Thank you Sherry!

Thank you

Sherry,
As i said in my request- its a history lesson and to find people that care to help is a +.

Sorry, I cannot add to your research since most of my Morgans came from Charleston, SC, USA and from Ireland and myy Kerr research led me to Annapolis, MD., and vicinity and to Ulste,Ireland. Dan

II forgot to add my email address (in case anyone is searching Morgans or Kerrs) dmorgan960@yahoo.com.

Thanks Sherry, I found the button to join the group. I also was born in Houston, & raised in Spring, Texas. If this is your native stomping ground, we are probably cousins one way or another. What surnames are you researching? My main ones are Miller, Haberlie, Walker, Grizzard, Simmons, Pain, Melton, Tanner, Reaves, Smith, Johnson, Collins, Lacy, Barrett, Hanna, & McAdams. Most of them came from southern states Ga., Ala. Fla. & N.C. mostly. Hope we connect and can help ea other. Lillian

What is your Wooten linage? Great grandfather Sgt. & Lt. Edward Wooten, CSA, was the son of Shadrack "Shade" Wooten of Pitt Co., N.C., the son of Wm. Wooten, Sr., who wed Nancy Forbes, daughter of Patriot Lt. Arthur Forbes, Sr. If memory serves, he was the son of John Wooten. I was once an officer in our now defunct Wooten Family Assn. Much of it's research is in DAR library, Washington, D.C. By-the-way, it was found that DAR Patriot, militia Ens. Shadrack Wooten, though awarded a commission, never accepted it. Likely he still qualifies under some civil or other office or act?

Hi!  Thank you for your kind welcome.  I apologize for not responding sooner, but I forgot my password...  Finally, last night, I got another, and it's like seeing everything NEW again(It's been a long time since I was here!)!

You're not forgotten, Sherry! Have a great day.

Truer words have never been spoken !!! Some members are defeating their purpose of membership by making their comments and information private. Also, they are shielding themselves from obtaining more information about their own ancestors. Whereas, otherwise ,they could meet new LIVING relatives who could possibly, take them back several generations further and, bring to light pictures of their ancestors which they had never seen nor knew even existed. I am, also, a member of ancestry.com. Unfortunately, a multitude of members ,of that website, have private trees, only viewable to a selective few. It is amazing that some of these folks will use YOUR material and maintain private trees !! These people are just simply too selfish and stingy to share THEIR information with others ! In several instances, people have used stories and pictures I have posted. I sent them messages telling them that I was glad that I had material that they could use, and that I would love to see their trees.  BUT....................... with only a few exceptions, no responses !! (lol) or (frown) !!!!!!!!!!

MOST slave owners were farmers some large and others small. Very few were in the plantation class. Yes, I had several ancestors who were slaves in Missouri,Kentucky, Tennessee and Kentucky. Also, many of them were chiidren of white men of various social classes. Some of my white ancestors were SMALL farmers, whereas,others were NOT even slave owners. They just simply had liasons (most being mutually consensual ) with black women, with the mixed breed chiildren bearing there fathers last names. However, there were also, some unfortunate cases, in my ancestry where my black female ancestors were  sexually taken advantage of by UNKNOWN white men. To my knowledge,I had only one white ancestor who even MIGHT fit in the plantation owning category. He was my ggg grandfather James Gordon (1810-1875), a judge in Columbia, Missouri. His father David Gordon (1770-1840) was one of the founders of Columbia, Missouri. James Gordon, according to the books, was a life long batchlor. But, he had a FREE live in mulatto mistress Henrietta Robinson (b.ca. 1815), by whom he had a daughter Cornelia Gordon (b.ca.1846) my great great grandmother. Henrietta can be  seen in the 1860 Boone County, Missouri Census Schedules as living as a free woman of color in James Gordons household. The Gordon Home in Columbia, Missouri, GORDON MANOR, was destroyed by fire in 1998. It was a Federal style mansion built in 1823. The front porch was topped by a balcony supported by four one story Corinthian columns. Above the porch was a Palladian window. The house was on the National Register of Historic Sites.
